VideoFileClip error #49
Comments
Thanks for the feedback. It's a strange error, like if FFMPEG couldn't read the first frame of the file. One possible reason would be that you don't have a recent version of ffmpeg (if you are on ubuntu/debian, the version in the repos is deprecated, you need to download a recent version on the website). If it's not that, could you provide a file for which it doesn't work ? |
Huh, fixed ? |
That has got to be the fastest fix ever. It was what you said. |
Yeah ! I will see what I can do to improve the error messages. This one really sucks. |
Hi, These two are probably going to remain forks for a couple of years, is it possible to support libavs ffmpeg library ? |
Hi, |
Ah in the end I tried this. Just with the default ffmpeg it doesn't work, was wondering if it's possible for it to work with the default setup. |
Just to be sure, it worked when you updated ffmpeg, right ? I don't think it is a good idea to try and make it work with avconv. I spent a lot of time understanding the subtleties of ffmpeg (it's trickier than it seems) and I really don't want to spend more time doing support for avconv. I believe that using one single software like ffmpeg (i chose ffmpeg over avconv because it is more common on all platforms) makes the code more coherent, I would have to code alternative commands for almost all the i/o functions if we were to make moviepy avconv-compatible. The current situation is only damaging for Ubuntu/Debian users (I am on Ubuntu, btw), but that is because the packagers have decided to completely deprecate ffmpeg, even in the repos, which is completely nuts imho. |
It did work with ffmpeg in the end. Given enough time the forks will reconcile I guess. |
Hi when I try to pass a .mp4 file to VideoFileClip I get the following backtrace in iPython:
Edit: I got it fixed by building/installing the latest version of ffmpeg from github. The one in the ubuntu 12.04 repo is out of date.
