Also, depending on your audio rate in the video, you might want to change -srate appropriately.<br/><br/>you should now have a Shockwave Flash Video file you can place on a webpage like youtube.com does. FYI, to go from .dv right to .flv export to OpenSML AVI as mentioned previously and then turn this script for the .flv file:

#!/bin/bash

INFILE=$1
OUTFILE=`basename $1 .dv`.flv
mencoder $INFILE -o $OUTFILE \
-of lavf -oac mp3lame \
-quiet -cache 8192 \
-lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 44100 \
-ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 \
-lavfopts \
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames

note: the last line ends with “_frames”. Also, depending on your audio rate in the video, you might want to change -srate appropriately.

you should now have a Shockwave Flash Video file you can place on a webpage like youtube.com does.

Hopefully it can help someone out. <br/><br/>I just read in Linux Journal about KDENLIVE so I may try that out next time I do a little video project.

Going back to Kino to try exporting as listed in this blog it started to look like it was exporting but then locked Kino up.

Here is the script I used to convert the OpenDML AVI file to Youtube acceptable format as this blog described:

#!/bin/bash

INFILE=$1
mencoder $INFILE -quiet -cache 8192 \
-aspect 4:3 -xy 320 -zoom \
-vf harddup,pp=ci,scale \
-af-adv force=1 -srate 32000 \
-ovc xvid -oac mp3lame \
-lameopts preset=64 \
-xvidencopts bitrate=500 \
-o /tmp/outfile.avi

yup, Kino still locked up…had to kill mencoder process to get it back. Running a 2nd time it looks like it actually finished but no output file was generated. Looking further, I see that when Kino runs export, I get 2 instances of exports/mencoder.sh and 2 instances of mencoder taking STDIO and trying to convert to the file /tmp/outfile.avi.

Looking at my files, it does appear that I compiled ffmpeg-0.cvs20060823 which I probably dowloaded on a tip from the Ubuntu(or some other) forums. The file I actually grabbed to do this was ffmpeg_0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1.diff.gz I can say with confidence that I did not need to compile MEncoder.

Did you by chance have to do any specific recompiling of mencoder or mplayer?

Thanks again for your help :]

Figure I'll switch about once a year. Here's the line from my dpkg.log when I upgraded ffmpeg:<br/><br/>2007-04-02 00:20:31 status installed ffmpeg 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu2-1<br/><br/>I'm not sure if I did it as part of a normal upgrade but you should be able to get that version in a .deb somewhere. There's nothing special about my sources.list and I wouldn't recommend adding edgy repositories to do anything on feisty. If you do, keep a fire extinguisher handy and definitely get it on film. ;-) Funny thing there…I’m still using Edgy Eft or 6.10. Figure I’ll switch about once a year.
