 |
|
Hi, I've got a box with a tv tuner that I've been trying to use to capture some video feeds for my friend. He wants to be able to edit these videos in adobe premiere (he's using version 6), and so far every format I try to encode to is rejected by premiere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here's what I've tried so far:
To grab the video:
| Code: |
mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:input=1:norm=ntsc:device=/dev/video0 -ovc raw -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi tv://
|
To convert to a different format:
mpeg4
| Code: |
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=4000:v4mv -oac copy -o /mnt/store/tv/vidmpeg4.avi /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi
|
huffyuv
| Code: |
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=huffyuv -oac copy -o /mnt/store/tv/vidhuffy.avi /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi
|
Windows media
| Code: |
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=wmv2 -oac copy -o /mnt/store/tv/vid.wmv /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi
|
Motion Jpeg
| Code: |
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg -oac copy -o /mnt/store/tv/vidmjpeg.avi /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi
|
Mpeg-1
| Code: |
mencoder -ovc lavc -oac copy -o /mnt/store/tv/vid.mpg /mnt/store/tv/rawcap.avi -fps 29.97 -of mpeg
|
Some of these play in real player on my friend's computer, but not a single one of them will import into premiere. The complaint is usually about an invalid compression format, but sometimes premiere will just crash without warning when trying to import. Any advice you guys could offer would be excellent, thank you in advance. |

I *think* IIRC that adobe premier uses it's own means by which to open video files rather than using the default means provided by the windowsOS. This means that if your friend already has the codecs installed that you are encoding with, then premier is probably getting hung up on something in the video file that it doesn't know how to handle.
You might want to have your friend open the files first with VirtualDub, resave them, and then try to open them with Premier.

I think that if you capture in NTSC, you have to define the framerate, too.
I should have set to 25fps.
