errors encountered when building using thirdparty/ libraries
by Rob Prowel 06 Dec '25

06 Dec '25

FYI: gcc-14 sees the bitshift of a negative value as an error. SimpleModule.h:126:47: error: left operand of shift expression ‘(-1 << 31)’ is negative [-fpermissive] 126 | static const int kMinSignedValue = -1 << kScaleBits; | ~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[6]: *** [Makefile:361: ALAC.lo] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory '/6TB/storage/programming/cingg/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/audiofile-0.3.6/libaudiofile/modules' make[5]: *** [Makefile:657: all-recursive] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory '/6TB/storage/programming/cingg/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/audiofile-0.3.6/libaudiofile' This appears to have been fixed in upstream github master, although there was some differing of opinion between maintainer and patch submitter about the specific bit manipulation operations to fix it. build using (cingg internal libs) ./configure \ --prefix=/sharebin/cingg2511 \ --with-thirdparty \ --with-nv \ --with-gl \ --with-xv \ --with-alsa \ --without-cuda \ --enable-audiofile \ --with-jobs=1 \ now succeeds, but cingg version of ffmpeg/libavcodecs does not seem to implement nvenc correctly. ie there is little difference in encoding times between h264 and nvenc when using identical target bitrates. However, when using my Debian supplied or custom compiled ffmpeg command line transcode there is a 3:1 to 5:1 performance rate increase in nvenc. I think nvenc needs to be FAST so it can serve as the a default intermediate high-bitrate render format in projects. -Rob

Patch for audiofile-0.3.6 in cinelerra-gg
by Andrew Randrianasulu 06 Dec '25

06 Dec '25

It builds locally on gcc 11.2.0 i586 ... Reason why it was unnoticed probably because audiofile build disabled by default and probably only needed for in-tree esound build ...

duplicate code in cinelerra that also exists in support libraries
by Rob Prowel 05 Dec '25

05 Dec '25

Please help me to understand why. This is my make-config and I'm building from scratch on Debian-13(trixie). I've re-run autoconf and aclocal to support the newer macros/features. Also note that I'm leveraging the distro libraries over the in-source thirdparty ones. I have sucessfully built this way several years ago. ----------------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash CUDA_PATH=/usr \ ./configure \ --prefix=/sharebin/cingg2511 \ --with-cuda \ --with-nv \ --with-gl \ --with-xv \ --with-jobs=8 \ --with-alsa \ --enable-audiofile \ --with-thirdparty=no ----------------------------------------------- build fails due to function redeclaration of int GifQuantizeBuffer(unsigned int Width, unsigned int Height, int *ColorMapSize, GifByteType * RedInput, GifByteType * GreenInput, GifByteType * BlueInput, GifByteType * OutputBuffer, GifColorType * OutputColorMap); in filegif.h and filegif.C...but this method also exists in the thirdparty library giflib. The reason it fails is that in the library the pointers are const (as they should be) but in the duplicated code under cinelerra directory they are not...and simply adding const in the included code is not a fix, IMHO. Lets please evaluate why the library code was duplicated within the project source in the first place. giflib is not only available under the thirdparty directory, but is a common library on most linux distros. It seems odd that it's both referenced from the library AND duplicated in-source. So far the only dependency I've had to use from the thirdparty directory is libdpx since it is quite obscure and not a standard part of Debian. -Rob

Based on Georgy's email ( https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09216.html) and his further explanations, I would like to propose an addition to the manual regarding an important aspect of CinGG's operation. I am attaching a document and an image. If you can improve, correct, and add information, we can then consider modifying the manual.[image: AV_sync.png]

Vulkan prores decoding in ffmpeg.git
by Andrew Randrianasulu 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Test file (1.7 Gb, 30 seconds 4k, 60 fps, bt709): https://web.archive.org/web/20250727093440/https://terra-1-g.djicdn.com/851… ffmpeg git commit commit 7043522fe07b4678de59e01f987de8f2f46d40a2 configure line: guest@slax:/dev/shm/ffmpeg$ ./ffmpeg ffmpeg version N-120778-g7043522fe0 Copyright (c) 2000-2025 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 11.2.0 (GCC) configuration: --enable-opencl --disable-debug --enable-libx265 --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-libplacebo --enable-vulkan --enable-libshaderc --enable-libzimg --enable-libaom --enable-libdav1d --enable-libsoxr --enable-libfontconfig --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-gnutls --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libcdio --enable-frei0r --enable-libgsm --enable-openal --enable-libopus --enable-librtmp --enable-libsnappy --enable-libspeex --enable-libssh --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libv4l2 --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp libavutil 60. 19.101 / 60. 19.101 libavcodec 62. 21.100 / 62. 21.100 libavformat 62. 6.103 / 62. 6.103 libavdevice 62. 2.100 / 62. 2.100 libavfilter 11. 10.101 / 11. 10.101 libswscale 9. 3.100 / 9. 3.100 libswresample 6. 2.100 / 6. 2.100 Universal media converter usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

(there is much smaller cpu load for Vulcan decoding case). full page with bigger samples: https://web.archive.org/web/20250920123334/https://www.dji.com/inspire-3/sa… found via Kodi user forum.

FFmpeg 8.0 in CinGG
by Andrea paz 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

I see that ffmpeg 8.0 has three new filters: Color Detect, Pad_Cuda, and Scale_d3d11. In CinGG, I only see the first one, Color Detect, which provides information on the “Jpeg/Mpeg” range and whether the alpha channel is ‘premultiplied’ or “straight.” It doesn't give me any errors, but I don't know where to see the information it provides. FFmpeg 8.0 also has other good news: decoders for the APV mezzanine codec (very interesting!) and for ProRes RAW. Improved VVC support (this would be h266, the successor to h265). Then encoding/decoding via Vulkan of FFV1 and ProRes Raw (for this only decoding). Still decoding Vulkan VP9, Vaapi VVC; ProRes and VC-2. I don't know if Vulkan AV1; ProRes and VC-2 encoding is already supported or coming soon. I don't know enough about other new features (G.728; Whip, etc.).

Cin-GG Downloads

Hi I don't know what the plans are, but I would suggest to update and enable the Cin-GG's Download menu entries and launch icons? As now, using the Download > Packages or Builds > Appimage or Packages, cause No Results Found https://cinelerra-gg.org/downloads/ Previously I noted and used these urls directly AppImage https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/?C=M;O=D Testing https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/ Builds https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases Now only the latter Andrey's builds are working.

CinGG GIT checkin on new server for FFmpeg version 8.0
by Phyllis Smith 27 Nov '25

27 Nov '25

The new Cinelerra-GG server GIT repository is fully functional now and I have checked in updates for FFmpeg 8.0. It is now at https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git so the following read-only git is: git clone https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git *Note for Andrey*: hoping you will continue updating/creating the cin-gg-packages/releases In addition, I am planning on keeping the github.com/phylsmith/Cinelerra_GG repository updated at the same time for those people who wander through Github (smiley face). But if I ever figure out the ownership/password for the cinelerra-gg github repository, I will probably switch to that.
