Re: IA Encoder Changes |
When the Archive derived this, it got the aspect-ratio wrong:
http://www.archive.org/download/Big_Combo_1955/Big_Combo_1955.mkvApparently, the program doing the deriving assumed that the pixels in the source file were square, despite the embedded aspect-ratio information.
(Later, I uploaded a version of the movie with square pixels and made the Archive derive it again.)

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
but you can see here, from:
http://catalogd.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=79015877that the video is *not* identified as rectangular pixels:
# Stream #0.0: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 576x432 [PAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 50 tbc
and JSYK, i take rectangular pixels *super* seriously 8-)
so there you've got detected square pixels (1:1) and a Display Aspect Ratio
of 4:3. that's straight up from libav/ffmpeg -- the standard used by most opensource tools.
what did you use to encode the video? did it *perhaps* not set the bit right? or do you think libav is not detecting right?
did mplayer/vlc or similar tool based on libav "play it right"?

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
well, then! just for you, bill 8-)
working on path that seems to id your vid a bit better (and instead
of trying to squirt out 90,000 fps will try an alternate method...)
i'm trying
The_Phantom_Empire_1935
now...

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
and btw...
if you *want* our ~768 Kb/sec .mp4 "derivative", since you're uploading
a file with a ".mp4" suffix,
you could rename it to a ".mpeg4" as a workaround to make sure *we*
make the ".mp4" named file...
and yah, we changed things, it's true -- like how to handle files with
suffix .mp4. there's tradeoffs either way, and a very hard "edge" to sort out
either way...
cheers,

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
I will remember to use the mpeg4 suffix in the future. Is there a way for me to rename a file already uploaded?

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
yes!
find the "Edit item" link (when you are logged in) near the upper right
"Upload" button when looking at the /details/ page
and then you can use the Edit files thingy to rename the file.
maybe try the other items that aren't:
The_Phantom_Empire_1935
http://catalogd.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=79206712and we can try from there?
(meanwhile trying to rederive the item mentioned above to see how that goes w/ some code changes in my dev box...)
thanks!

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
Changing the extension on "The Little Shop of Horrors" files worked(!), but "The Phantom Empire" now has a 2.6GB Ogg derivative.
later...
I deleted the OGV file, and changed the extension for "The Phantom Empire" to MPEG4.

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
ok, i *think* your items and derivs look good now?
the one i was most curious now about was
http://www.archive.org/details/The_Phantom_Empire_1935looks like you maybe removed the derivs and renamed your orig file from .mp4 to .mpeg4 and then a normal derive just kind of "worked" -- does that sound about right?
btw, i'm not sure this will work per se (depends a bit on the mpeg4 source) -- but do you know about "qt-faststart" (most easily found and buildable in source of "ffmpeg" as a subdirectory util). but in the future, you can often use it to move the "mov" atoms related to video information from the end to the start of the file. that will often make a video "play more instantly" when dropped into a mp4 playable browser like safari or versions of firefox-- and when dropped into a flash plugin (thought i saw some feedback in forums or on one of the items could be related?) (if, say, all that info is at the end of the mpeg4 -- the flash plugin or [video] tag in a /details/ video playback page will tend to require the client browser to *first* download the *entire* file before it will start -- eek! 8-)
just in case that helps at all!
cheers,
-tracey

Yes, I did those things.
Thanks for the info on qt-faststart. I
found a pre-built Mac app that I hope will fix the demuxed edited MPEG4 files I make as you describe. Very glad the .mp4 to .mpeg4 trick worked.

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
Ok. I renamed the two "The Little Shop of Horrors" movies. "The Phantom Empire" was already queued for derivation.

Re: IA Encoder Changes |
Misread your post. I thought you had asked me to start the derivation.
