QSVEnc to investigate HW encoder - Intel System Support Utility
by Terje J. Hanssen 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

QSVEnc is meant to investigate performance and image quality of HW encoder (QSV) of Intel. There are build packages for Fedora and Ubuntu, but it is missing for openSUSE/Slowroll. https://github.com/rigaya/QSVEnc/releases https://github.com/rigaya/QSVEnc/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#readme https://github.com/rigaya/QSVEnc/blob/master/Install.en.md There is also another tool, Intel System Support Utility for the Linux (and Windows) Intel SSU for the Linux operating system is a standalone utility that performs a detailed scan and report of the computer system information to assist you with customer support troubleshooting. Intel SSU for Linux produces an output file that can be saved, viewed and shared by the user. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18895/26735/intel-system-s…

Changed README so it reflect current way of building system/single-user builds, hopefully added BUGS with entry that bit me recently added DESCRIPTION based on slack-desc, empathizing we can do rgba32f

I think you can edit plugins/Makefile and comment out (with #) this line CUDA_OBJS := mandelcuda nbodycuda or look for adding --without-cuda to your ./configure >

Can you try attached patch? default to off, so should be safe?

profile vs vprofile in 7.1?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

We tried to update cinelerra-gg to ffmpeg 7.1 and ran into two problems: First, vf_scale now declares dynamic input and was filtered out by code in cinelerra/pluginfclient.C int flag_mask = AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_INPUTS | AVFILTER_FLAG_DYNAMIC_OUTPUTS; if( filter->flags & flag_mask ) return AVERROR(EPERM); ok, it was easy to workaround just by commenting this line out But then it turned out our vaapi/qsv profiles stopped working, anytime there was "profile=high" line. Oh, dang. Looked around and found this thread on Narkive https://ffmpeg-user.ffmpeg.narkive.com/FRd15m7B/ffmpeg-1-0-null-0xcb4700-ev… replaced "profile" with "vprofile", now it appear to work again. But this was a bit unexpected, I do not think both changes were mentioned as breaking in release notes? It sort of sad to see this "hidden" breakage every release. Ffmpeg is not only library that does so, and tracking them all is not fun anymore. If you can't avoid making breakage - put it up front in release notes, not hide it like in bad commercial advertisement. our source: git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git you can build ffmpeg 7.1 into /usr/local and then ./auto gen.sh + configure --without-thirdparty --with-single-user --without-libdpx + make + make install. if it does not work on your system - look around in blds directory for various scripts adding --disable-component switches to configure. binaries and profiles will be in $cin_src_root/bin

No audio when playing videos
by Bulhwi Cha 24 Oct '24

It's been two months since I ran Cinelerra-GG. I downloaded its newest version yesterday. At the moment, I can play and preview my video in the Compositor or Viewer window. However, I can't hear the audio. I tried and failed to build Cinelerra-GG.

OT: cp -r vs cp -R recursive copy as backup
by Terje J. Hanssen 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

From my past Unix & alike experience with Cromix/SVR5/BSD and SunOS/Solaris, I seem to remember faintly that there was a difference between "cp -r" and "cp -R". Both copied recursively directories and files, while -R (possibly) also followed symlinks and copied their targets. On SUSE Linux (which first version 1993 is told to orginate from the most Unix like Slackware), the man pages for cp just say -R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively A previous thread on Stack Exchange, "Difference between cp -r and cp -R (copy command)", mentions additionally POSIX defined and implementation dependency. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18712/difference-between-cp-r-and-… So I am used with "cp -R" for complete directory backup purpose; else I use more effective "rsync" incremental backups to portable (USB) disks. . What do you use and think here about this?

Build Cingg-with-system-FFmpeg won't startup after upgrade to ffmpeg-7-7.1
