All to Xvid/mp4 problem in 0.7.5.4795

Post by Mosco » Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:49 am

I'm using the last build of mediacoder (0.7.5.4795) and when i try to convert a video file in a .avi file, the program crashes, giving me a windows error. I use Xvid Encoder for video and ffmpeg for audio (i want a mp2 audio conversion).
What's wrong? :roll:

As mentioned in the Encoding Guide (viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9643), I found it necessary for the Xvid format to use Bypass as the video Source since build 4760. I just tried again in build 4795, and Bypass worked.

This suggests the video stream is OK and that you need to change the Audio source.
Suggest you use one of the suggestions in the Encoding Guide -- one closest to what you want and then change one item at a time until you achieve a useful result.

The problem is that i need an mp2 conversion for audio stream. I know only ffmpeg and mencoder can do this as encoders. I tried this two but nothing to do. As audio source i tried Mplayer, Mencoder and FFmpeg, but again, the program freezes or give me windows error! How strange... the earlier versions don't give these problems...

I just tried MP2 in 4795 and it worked.
I did as I suggested above, I began with the settings for MP4 in the Encoding Guide, changed the video to Xvid with Bypass and on the audio tab I changed from LC-AAC to MP2 via FFmpeg.
Try it!

The two main differences with what worked for me are:
(1) you used CBR for video (suggest you try Average bitrate)
(2) you used Xvid for video encoder, rather than FFmpeg. When I try Xvid, error 14 results!

Try each change.

Suggest you may have more success in build 4796, which has overcome many problems with 4795!
