Post subject:  R5.5 - Mytharchive ffmpeg running forever?

I've been trying to create a DVD from a video file, and something strange is going on. According to top, ffmpeg is still running full-blast 13 hours later, but the log files are not changing and the newfile2.mpg isn't being updated (last modification time was 6 hours ago). lsof says that the process is still holding open the source file, newfile2.mpg and /tmp/mythtv_media

any ideas?

Hi there,

Generally these type of questions can be answered by doing a simple forum search... I used "ffmpeg slow", and got this returned, which seems relevant to your plight?

I did do a forum search. That thread seemed to end up being a permissions issue, which I did not have. It didn't mention anything about keeping the process and files open, which is what I was asking about.

It turned out that the issue was the buggy ffmpeg, as I found when the process finally finished after 16 hours and my file had the "noise" audio problem. Looking at THAT thread, I updated ffmpeg and tried again. Ran in less than 2 hours on the same file.

Only problem now is it's creating a wierd resolution. When I burn a DVD and play it on a standard dvd player, it's a little square in the middle of the TV. I'm looking into that now.

Is there anything holding you back on going to R6?
I've been burning DVDs recently (last night) and it seems to go pretty well in R6?

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Nathan
