My 20 minute DVD results in a 1.1 GB *.VOB file so I trust > that this may not be a concern here. Your 1.1GB VOB is compressed with MPEG-2 , so not suitable for Real Producer if it needs Uncompressed AVI. > Are you suggesting that "colors" =3D=3D=3D "codecs"?

Should I > use one of those *Y* "colors" as the video codec in this case? When using uncompressed AVI (several Mega Bytes per second) you need to specify a color space (i.e. how the raw data is "coded" (=3Drepresented) Basically the rate per second is: frame_rate * height * width * bits_used_to_represent_the_color/8 Let's say 25 * 640 * 480 * 16bits/8 =3D 15360000 =3D ~14 Mega bytes per s This is very different from video codecs which are designed to dramatically reduce that high bitrate. If you have to provide Real Producer a uncompressed video file < 2GB, you will be able to encode maybe 2 or 3 minutes, so you should forget about using that crappy software :) read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV for some infos on color spaces, which are way to reduce (a little) this high bitrate, by compressing only the color representation. > And, yes, I saw the "rm format" item in the "File formats" output of: >=20 > % ffmpeg -formats >=20 > When I tried using it, I got similar failure results as those I > indicated yesterday.

Please understand that I am > confused, and being a bit new to the world of multimedia, somewhat > clueless. :-) I don't know anything about rm and real codecs, but I would suppose that it can only contain real=C2=A9 codecs, you should try to put rv10 or rv20 "video codec" into rm "container" or "muxer". The file extension represent how the internal data is combined (i.e. how to combine audio and video (and text, and metadata etc etc..). Like .AVI =3D avi .MOV =3D mov .MKV =3D matroska .OGM/.OGG =3D ogg (ogm correspond to ogg movie and ogg to ogg audio but that's exactly the same thing) .RM =3D ream media .MPG =3D mpeg .MP4 =3D mpeg-4 .VOB =3D mpeg-2 etc etc... Now inside those you have to put some info (say, video) in the format you want (well, one of those which are supported by this container): RAW (but there is several way to represent raw data) compressed with a video codec (h264, wmv, mpeg2, etc etc...) And the container will have a reserved space to indicate which codec was used to store the data. Now, if Real Producer doesn't come with a documentation telling what it does accept you're fucked and you'd better wipe out this piece of shit and use ffmpeg. Now if you need a recent real codec like RV40, you're out of luck because the only open source implementation is the decoder, and it hasn't even been checked in ffmpeg yet. Seriously you should consider something else than Real and evaluate your other possibilities. > Regards, >=20 > web... >=20 > -- > William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu >=20 > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --=20 Rafa=C3=ABl Carr=C3=A9 --Sig_/xCpHMvkeJVFGWL1jhYyWYWX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHMd4FYWCeGMCv8Q8RAtULAKC55VXpbEFCwd+55192I+IbN2chzgCfTPOG K1u61xBKWefiqc43Dh8PGX4= =BLg+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/xCpHMvkeJVFGWL1jhYyWYWX--
