Nope Im going in using makeavis .... no problems with all builds before :?

DVD Source works! So its a complie/codecs thing i think.

Actually you need to replace the built-in codecs.conf with a copy that contains ffvfw reference, so mencoder can understand makeavis. You can get the codecs.conf I provided a while ago, search inside the source folder and replace the codecs.conf from the source with the one I provided. :wink:
Sorry I forgot this step. :oops:

Thank you, Vmesquita :!:
Now i can go to sleep :lol:

Krassi 04-20-2004 05:27 PM

I've updated my compilation:
mencoder self extracting file.
Thank you again, VMesquita, seems to work now.

@inc: Can you test it :?:

Hi guys,
Adding up to what VM recommended I would use his text:
Code:

videocodec makeavis
  info "FFvfw makeavis"
  status untested
  fourcc AVIS
  driver vfw
  dll ffvfw
  out YV12

and paste it into the latest codecs.conf file that you guys have in your just downloaded mencoder tarball.
You can find it in the tarball under:
/etc/codecs.conf
This way you'll benefit from the usage of makeAVIS plus the latest added codecs if necessary :wink:
Also I would always use Cygwin instead of MinGW for mencoder: although the filesize is higher it is faster when encoding 8O
Note: this will only work with makeAVIS that came with pure and plain FFvfw :!:
It will not work with makeAVIS that comes with latest FFdshow from Athos at Doom9 :roll:
At least on my PC...
Cheers guys

Now the question is: has the poor guy (Krassi) gone to sleep :?: :lol:
Otherwise your best shot (Inc.) is asking VM to make a new build :wink:
'Cause I'm going to bed too 8)
Cheers guys

incredible 04-20-2004 06:32 PM

Yep, but the idea is that not everything will end up on Vmesquita as he is running on many things simultaniously! ;-)

And ... its nice if I can understand what Im doing & using 8) :D

For assurance, heres a "little part" of the beginning of my codecs.conf.h file in the Mplayer Directory after ./configure

As you can see "makeavis" is determined as found in the codecs.conf file I did change before in the "etc" Folder :?
I did NOT use a text edit appl. so the format structure of codecs.conf is in the state as it has to be.

Tonight I wanna get that CygWin running. Maybe that could help, or I still am doing something wrong, .. or there is a "change" in the newest CVS which doesn't allow makeavis :?

I should have named it "alpha version" :lol:

@inc:
I will have a look at this again. @work i can only test/compile it during my timeouts :wink:

Krassi 04-21-2004 04:22 AM

Ok,

i'm sitting in front of an Intel machine now, so i've compiled it with all cpu optimisations.
Here it is:
mencoder for Intel & AMD
Can somebody do a short test :?: Thanks.
Tomorrow evening i will be able to compile it on my Athlon system.

I think this won't run in any CPU :!:
Because if you compiled with all optimization, it means that you binary is optimized for 3dnow! and SSE2 at the same time, and there's no CPU capable of handling this. :(

vmesquita 04-21-2004 01:19 PM

@incredible
Did you do a:
Code:

make clean
before ./configure so the old compiled data is discarded? Also, I remembered that you have to include a build switch to enable win32 codecs. So please do configure with the following switches:
Code:

$ ./configure --enable-largefiles --enable-static --confdir=mplayer/  --enable-win32
This will enable win32 codecs. large files (bigger than 2Gb support), make satic build (so the only needed DLL is cygwin1.dll), and change the configdir to a usable one, otherwise you won't be able to use a external configfile because it will point to a place that doesn't exist in windows.
Sorry for only remembering this now. :oops:

My friend ... what do you mean by this??

Cause I got this output now in cygWin:
Code:

$ ./configure --enable-largefiles --enable-static --confdir=mplayer/ -enable

Checking for kernel support of sse ... yes

$

To WHICH directory I have to point that confdir???

At least I found out that unknown parameter
it was....

./configure --enable-largefiles --enable-static --confdir=mplayer/ -- enable-win32

But still which directory should be used for confdir ???

Ahhh. now i check it, its the folder "mplayer" within the folder where mencoder will be stored!

incredible 04-21-2004 02:42 PM

I CANT BELEIVE IT, IT RUNS!!!!!
Even makeavis now works!!

And its fast! :D

vmesquita 04-21-2004 02:45 PM

I edited the post, it should be --enable-win32 as you figured out. The confdir parameter is to allow you to use external configuration files (one of them is codecs.conf). If you don't specify this, mencoder will look for configuration files in /home/username/.mplayer, which doesn't exists for windows. Now that the internal configfile already has MakeAVIS specified you probably won't need any other external configuration files, but if you post a compilation later and someone wants to use a different codecs.conf for some reason, he'll be able to do it. :wink:

EDIT:
To make the executable half its size, you can
Code:

strip mencoder.exe
And to make it half of the half smaller:
Code:

./upx mencoder.exe
But you need the UPX package installed in cygwin for this to work. :wink:

fozzieb 04-21-2004 03:19 PM

i still can't get it to except makeavis source to work, even using this compile command line


does the --enable-largefiles work for other sources (jigdo for getting debian)

cheers

vmesquita 04-21-2004 03:25 PM

You also need to modify /etc/codecs.conf like rds_correa suggested before, have you done that? This enable-largefiles may work with other sources which configure has this option. :wink:
