So that the syntax and options are clearer.

 123 Feature RequestLow Avoid repeating captures in different sets Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

Currently the extended set always contains the standard captures. It might be nice to add some time-shift to them so that they’re different.

1.14 Task Description

Originally suggested by Dean: http://outlyer.net/2010-08-24:vcs-1_12-2-released/

” [...]

Second, my dvd-drive is useless atm, but i remember previously piping dvd-ouput from mplayer into ffmpeg via a fifo and finding the info generated to be much better than mplayer-alone – for one thing, it won’t ‘downmix’ 6-channel audio automatically. Don’t know if that would be useful to you. The syntax was something like:-

mkfifo piped.vob &&
mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile piped.vob & \
ffmpeg -i piped.vob

…See what you think…

 167 Submitted PatchMedium Improper cleanup of tempdir Closed
100%
1.12.2 Task Description

Originally submitted by Jason Tackaberry

VCS’ temporary dir (and its contents) is not removed on cleanup. Space in /dev/shm is wasted as a result.

Patch attached.

 314 Submitted PatchMedium Patch for approximate size calculation Closed
100%
1.13.3 Task Description

Submitted by someone desiring no credit.

Here’s a patch against 1.13.2 for mistaken approximate size calculation.

Self-notes about the patch:

  • More accurate rounding → Discarded. I went for rounding by excess
  • Leading 0 in fractionary units was not present in the original → BUG
    Sample: Samsung HD sample, 1080pto720p version

1.14 Task Description

See http://libav.org/, Jan 27 2012.
Also http://libav.org/index.html#fftools_rename for changes to the syntax.

Must change to avprobe/ffprobe and/or avconv.

197TO-DOHighMove away from /dev/shmAssigned
0%
1.14 Task Description

/dev/shm isn’t really intended as an alternate temporary location, and VCS’ temporary files can easily grow too large for it too.

As a possible alternative offer a first-run choice of temp-dir (maybe suggesting /dev/shm).
