Screen recording using VLC

I found a video on YouTube explaining how to use VLC to screen record.

Included in the VLC settings was a display showing what things would be included, each with a green check mark. "Audio" was one of those things checked.

I've twice recorded, the second time selecting "original audio" from the settings.

Neither time did the resulting recording have any audio.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cannot get AVI files to play in original quality on Apple TV

August 28, 2019, 1:21 pm

Hey everyone here's the long story short of my predicament:

I am digitizing (well not quite because I guess the files are already digital) video taken on a 1998 sony handycam that was recorded on MiniDV tapes. I am successfully pulling the AVI files off the tapes and storing on my windows desktop in all of its original 480p glory and quality. The avis actually do look really good (native quality) when played back in the "movies & tv" app on windows 10.

Here's my issue and where I've been struggling for weeks to come up with a solution: I need to get these avis to play back on an Apple TV 4k and each method I have tested so far has produced less than ideal results. I have tried virtualdub to try and reencode to something apple friendly, I have also tried handbrake. I have attempted to remux using avidemux to an MP4. I have setup a plex server on my MBP using the original AVI file in the Plex library. I have tried to convert on the MBP to .mov in quicktime. Each of these has produced a quality that is obviously and noticeably worse than when I play the AVI on the windows 10 tower PC. I have the individual avis pulled from the MiniDV tapes and I have so far been able to combine those individual avi files using avidemux without any loss in quality, but now the final step would be to get these files to somehow play on Apple TV 4k without any loss in quality.

Perhaps I don't understand exactly the mechanics behind the containers and codecs, perhaps this is not possible without a loss in quality, can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

VirtualDub Job Control isn't working

Hello!

I've only tried yesterday to make a 2 pass encode to AVI by using the Job Control, but after the first pass it's stopped working.

This is how I've done:

Loaded the video set the 1st pass parameters and selected Job Control->Save as AVI
Than selected the 2nd pass compression parameters and also selected Job Control->Sava as AVI (with the same filename as for 1st Pass)
Then opened Job Control, there I've seen my two queued operation listed and clicked Start.
But it did halt at the end of the first operation and didn't start the second one, and the progress bar has stuck at 6%. Even after I've tried to do something manually, the Start button was all grayed out.

What am I missing to do this right?


Thanks!

Scenalyzer: *** Error:cc:can't connect: 345

I'm copying the DV-files from a Sharp miniDV camcorder to a Windows 7 PC through 4 pin Firewire.

In Scenalyzer (sclive) I get the error message:

*** Error:cc:can't connect: 345

I cannot capture. Sometimes it's possible to control the camcorder (start playing) from Scenalyzer - but only ONCE - after that the controls don't function any more. It only shows the pause key now and then. I've attached a screenshot.

The legacy IEEE 1394 is installed in Windows 7. As seen in the screenshot it chooses "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" in Screenalyzer, which should be OK.

I can get WinDV to work - now and then. It worked at first, then I closed it down, then I couldn't get it to work. It reported ""cant find DV output pin"". But after trying everything for hours, suddenly it worked again (don't know why), and now I don't want to turn neither WinDV nor the camcorder off, till I've got all my tapes digitized. In WinDV it also chooses "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR". I also upload a screenshot from WinDV for your information.

I somehow feel that Scenalyzer would be more stable - if just I could get it to work - and it also has more options than WinDV.

VSRip failing with bad packet header

While extracting subtitles from an IFO using VSRip I, for some discs, get "bad packet header found" endlessly and no subtitle can be extracted. However, when I load that IFO+VOB in Handbrake, it has no problem retrieving the subtitle tracks. Why is this happening? Is there another tool (preferably with CLI) that can be used to extract IDX/SUB subtitles?

Software to play long playlist seamlessly

Hello,

I'm looking for a player that would play videos playlist seamlessmly, without apparent interruption between two clips. As I need it to for weedings, I'm basically trying to play slideshow of videos with lengh of 1 to 10 sec randomly from a folder or several.

Using merger or slideshow software for these isn't what I'm looking for (long process), as I'm looking to play the slideshow live from the folders on windows. And so, I thought of playlist in media players, with the random functionality. Unfortunatly, players I tried (WMP, bsplayer, KMplayer, VLC,...) all have the same issue. There's always an obvious joint between each clips, a few fraction of section (sometime more) of blank screen.

Could you advise me a player that can run a playlist of very short videos from a folder (with random option) with a seamless feel, as if the clips have been processed and merged by a software? (Note that there can thousands of clips.)

I am on a PC, Windows 10.

Thank you.

My ADVC300/700 both disconnects from PC once I connect the RCA cables from the VCR which all are connected on same electrical outlet. They work fine when the VCR and ADVC300/700 are on different outlets. Any idea why? I'm guessing there is some grounding issues.

How to play AV1 codec videos in and old version of GomPlayer?

August 29, 2019, 6:26 pm

Ok, I guess the new version of GomPlayer already has AV1 codec built-in feature.
Question is how to play AV1 codec videos in and old version of GomPlayer?
I'm reluctant to update versions of some softwares and I'd like to keep current one (2.3.21.5278).
It's common to happen that newer versions are worse than what the previous one.

Youtube is using this new codec in some videos when I download them with InternetDownloadManager.

Any ideas?

I can play such videos using VLC v. 3.0.7.1, but can't do the same with GomPlayer.
Is there a way to install that codec to the whole system?
I'm still using Windows 7 SP1.

Thanks.

HELP? Video of a friends last night before he passed away

Hello.

I have no idea where to post or who to turn to with this request for help.

A bunch of friends and my wife and I were in a local bar in a Mexican town that we spend time in a couple years back. It was one of the best nights of all the times we spent there. Had a blast listening to a young Mexican university band. An old friend of mine (age wise) got up with his harmonica and joined the kids rocking it out on stage. It wasn't but a few minutes after he got off stage he fell down the stairs and, well....he didn't make it. He died LOVING what he was doing....playing music.

The video for what ever reason is not playable. I don't get it! Other videos from that night are.

Friends and especially his family would love to see the video of his last minutes with us.

Can ANYONE who knows something about this stuff help?

Below is a link for anyone who thinks they can help.

Help writing a script for manual IVTC

My source is telecined in progressive. It has a B/C and C/D frame blend. I had some help on here that whipped up a looping sequence where it subtracted 2 previous frames from the current frame (I think, I am not sure honestly).

Code:
Overlay(last, Loop(2,0,0).ColorYUV(gain_y=-220, cont_u=-220, cont_v=-220), mode="subtract").ColorYUV(gain_y=40, cont_u=40, cont_v=40)
I was wondering if this could be used to only subtract B from C, then delete C/D so its back to 24 fps?

Video player with analog output.

Hello.

I am trying to figure out if there is a device that would be able to play various formats and resolutions of video (until someone properly recomends me what format should I use for mastering in other thread) and has analog output of S-video and audio, connectors are irrelevant. Built in TBC is welcome. The analog output will be fed to VCR.

Also, if there is a device that can work in both ways to playback video file and record analog to digital, that would be perfect. I was considering to use Blackmagic's Intensity, or Teranex and Hyperdeck to record, but what about playback of video masters rendered in PC?

But the main goal is to avoid several machines and achive playback of video master and analog out withi one device.

Playback from SSD or SD.

Built in monitor would be a blessing, but ref output is also usable, maybe HDMI, so as not to use SDI with a converter to HDMI.

Looking for Vapoursynth filter alternatives/ports for some Avisynth filters

Hi, I'm trying more and more to get rid of Avisynth and switch to Vapoursynth, but for some filters/scripts in Avisynth I really haven't found any alternatives/ports.
Does anyone know ports for:I know some of these filters/scripts are rather old, but I use them from time to time and would prefer not to having Avisynth just for these few.

Cu Selur

Ps.: Note that I loading a Avisynth filter in Vapoursynth isn't really an options since I'm often using Linux (which is why Vapoursynth is really interesting) and I haven't found a way to get it working without running Vapoursynth and Avisynth with Wine (which isn't really stable; or in a VM).
