Hi, today on #debconf... <h01ger> Womble2, the dvd looks great. problems: doesnt play the streams right with kaffeine (vlc works here, you tested with mplayer?), problem2: some people are missing in the credits (will fix that and send you a diff), problem3: you mention copyrights but not the licence... besides that: wow :) <Womble2> h01ger: I have tested with two Panasonic DVD players and briefly with totem. Unfortunately my DVD-ROM drive can't read burned discs and the computer with the DVD writer is a bit slow to play them. <Womble2> Are people missing from the video team credits? I took the list from wiki.debian.net. The organisers are obviously incomplete and I have asked on debconf5-team for a list. <Womble2> I did mean to include licence text but just haven't got round to it yet. <h01ger> i meant the organizers.. <Womble2> Do you have problems with all streams in kaffeine, or just the wide ones? I think I may need to do something diferent for them. <h01ger> hm... i only checked two talks... Search_Engines_in_Debian and Debian_Development_in_the_Third_World_Latin_America <h01ger> the wide ones are the pal ones ? <Womble2> The DebCamp ones are wide (~16:9) <Womble2> What goes wrong in Kaffeine? <h01ger> sort of big pixels (20x20) with finer stripes <Womble2> Oh yeah, something like that happened in totem too on one of my computers <h01ger> btw, the graphic-credit is for the debconf-logo ? or what for ? <h01ger> s/debconf-logo/debconf5-logo/ <Womble2> I'd put it down to a Xine bug (both totem and kaffeine use it) <Womble2> Yes that's right <h01ger> it happens also on talks taken with the ntsc camera (small room), just tested abas-volantile-talk <h01ger> but that error with totem only occured on one of your machines ? the other totems are fine ? <Womble2> On the faster machine with the DVD-ROM I've played the recoded video files with totem, and they are fine <Womble2> On the slower machine with the DVD writer I've played a burned DVD with totem, and the video is weird <h01ger> kaffeine here also plays the .vob files fine, just not from dvd :( <Womble2> So quite what makes the difference, I don't know <Womble2> Perhaps when Xine is instructed to play a DVD it assumes the streams won't be MPEG-1. <Womble2> Do the DebCamp videos play correctly (they are MPEG-2)? <h01ger> yes, they do <Womble2> from the DVD? <h01ger> yap <h01ger> Womble2, (why) cant we just convert all videos to mpeg2 ? <Womble2> Because we'd have to double the resolution, and the results are terrible at such low bit rates <Womble2> That's what I tried initially <Womble2> (Note, MPEG-2 is a superset of MPEG-1; where I've said MPEG-2 above I mean video using the MPEG-2 extensions) <h01ger> ah <Womble2> The VOBs clearly have MPEG-2 headers <Womble2> and I can't find anything obvious in the Xine source that would make it behave differently when reading from DVD. regards, Holger
