Hi,
I need to generate a Windoze compatible AVI file that will play on older media player code. This is to drive and LED sign.
I found a discussion that related to getting a render from kdenlive to work on Windows but I'm having some problems translating what works at the command line into something in the render profile.
I used the media player Apple QT (.mov) render and created a .mov file.
Then at the command line I can do this and I wind up with an .AVI that is perfect for what I need to do.
ffmpeg -i comingsoonGoldGMT.mov -vcodec msmpeg4 -vtag MP43 -acodec libmp3lame foo.avi
But if I create a custom render profile that just contains the -vcodec msmpeg4 -vtag MP43 -acodec libmp3lame bits it, of course, doesn't render a useful. File.
How would I go about effectively chaining what is being done for the .mov render to that I can produce an .avi file using the msmpeg4 codec all in one step?
I can, of course, use a script file to process the .mov file but it would be nicer to understand how to get kdenlive to do it.
Thanks,
Burt
Thanks,
I've looked though the manual and unless I'm missing something there is some general stuff there, and an explanation of how the ffmpeg parameters map.
But the problem is that I've tried setting up to use the msmpeg4 vcodec in a manner similar to what is described in the manual. This doesn't work. I found another discussion where someone was trying to do the same thing with msmpeg4 and the suggested soltion to them was to use the codec in an AVI or ASF container file, and not the Mpeg container they were trying to use.
But that solution doesn't work either as that was what I was already doing.
That thread is here: http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/rendering-using-msmpeg4
As mentioned I can render to a .mov using the Apple rendering profile. Then I can use a shell script that applies the msmpeg4 codec to the .mov file and creates the suitable .avi file. I would just like to figure out how to do this from within the kdenlive rendering.
