Cinelerra crash when loading DV files
by joe 28 Dec '18

28 Dec '18

Hi CinGG experts, previously I sent my problem to the wrong list, now I'm coming to you. Since I have already a workaround (see below), my post below should rather be taken as a f.y.i. I appreciate your efforts very much, thank you - I wish you guys a happy new year for 2019! Bye, Joe -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 11:07:45 +0100 Subject: Re: [CinCV TNG] Cinelerra crash when loading DV files To: cinelerra(a)lists.cinelerra-cv.org Reply-to: cinelerra(a)lists.cinelerra-cv.org From: joe <joe(a)fasor.hu> Hi all, meanwhile, I have a workaround, so it's not so critical for me any longer. However, the problem seems to be even more interesting with my new observations: If I change the container from DV to avi: ffmpeg -i {original.dv} -c copy -map 0 {newcontainer.avi} ... then cinelerra has no more problems with loading it! I'm sending this piece of info to you with the hope that it might help you guys, to improve cinelerra. Many thanks for your continuous efforts!

My messages in the forum are "awaiting moderation" any reason behind that?
by W P 28 Dec '18

28 Dec '18

Hi all, out of 5 messages sent 2 ended up being in "awaiting moderation", is it because of the content or??IP? I would imagine if the forum gets more users it will be a pain to review "suspicious" (mine weren't!) messages manually. Maybe an anti-bot/spam solution would be better? Also just in case someone was wondering, WPfilmmaker2 is me, apparently I had already registered in the forum (I don't remember at all! I always had issues signing-up) so I just made another account, so it is not someone tryng to impersonate me^^

Fwd: Fw: [CinCV TNG] Easiest way to remove plugins after new download of Cin-GG

It does not make sense that cin is using that much memory. "Cache" in Settings->Preferences, Performance tab is used to store images on the timeline. One 1080 frame uses about 10 MB. The default setting is 256 and this is enough for testing and running. However, why not use more memory if it is available. To experiment for testing a good number tuned to the way you use your computer, set the cache to 0, bring up cin5, load a typical media file, play it and run "top" on another terminal window to see how much memory is being used. In the "top" display, look at "free" memory. Whatever your computer is not using, is a good number to use for cache. If you start other programs, or change the design of the session so that it uses a lot of frame storage, you may need to re-experiment over time. " Cinelerra-gg is not using the cinelerra-cv mailing list but has its own you can get to at cinelerra-gg.org. If the above does not help, please reply to here instead. (P.S. I made a HUGE mistake by sending out email there that I meant to only send to WP.) Thanks, gg/Phyllis

Valgrind and Core Dump
by Andrea paz 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

With all the updates of recent times I wanted to try to use Valgrind. I got a crash with core dumps. I enclose it all in case it might be useful. Probably the crash is my fault that I tried to do several things at once. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rj0b0mhuyvg1kjl/val.log?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/25ncvd1mfwnrfgb/cinelerra_29181.dmp?dl=0

Hello all! Just watching development from aside for now ...

And why so heavily-compressed vcodec anyway, I was always thinking about mjpeg or friends as best choice for proxies?

0000069: Start the Record window in non-english language
by Andrea paz 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

> Andrea: if you rebuilt today, the fix would be in and it is good to know it does > not crash. I assume you tested by doing an "r" for record in the main window. > It really did crash in French reproducibly here so even if there was a problem > with your ALSA and jack, it still illustrated a long term bug. I write here because the ticket is solved and it is no longer possible to add notes. Yes, I tested the last release and I don't have crash doing r (record) in the main window.

Sam, sorry about the trouble again. I changed the video of the demo on youtube (by inserting the new mailing-list in the end credits) changing the link accordingly. The present one doesn't lead to any video anymore. Could you update to the new link? [Forum --> Look at Me --> Demo] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNDKEYz0SOI Thanks.
