Mplayer Video Output module?

Hi.
I've been using Mplayer (via SMplayer) to play videos for a year and it works perfectly.
Since I got a laptop with a GeForce Go 7300 I always installed the latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers, so I thought that gl2 was the best video output module for me.
Today I was searching the Mplayer docs for encoding options and I found this:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/opengl.html
Player supports displaying movies using OpenGL, but if your platform/driver supports xv as should be the case on a PC with Linux, use xv instead, OpenGL performance is considerably worse. If you have an X11 implementation without xv support, OpenGL is a viable alternative.
So it seems that XV is the best option?
Do you know anything about this? What's the best?

xv is indeed the best -vo. Only use gl if you are having problems with xv, eg if you are running xcompmgr.

Lowlevel video output switch controls? Modulized, why?

Hi
Well, i use Arch on my laptop. And there is one thing, which makes me wanna jump on it. The Lowlevel video output switch controls kernel module. I need this activated in order to switch between the projector and my laptop, I have my finals soon so its important this works as it should.
Would it be possible to enable this module in later pacman-versions of the kernel? At the time beeing, I would have to recompile everything my self. Which I have yet to become successful at, something is always wrong. But I`ll summarize what I would like to do:
#Build a kernel with this option, choosing it from grub at boot-time. But still have the "pacman-version" in case i mess up somethings up.
NOTE I use luksEncrypted root, does this option do anything to the kernel? Since the installer asks if you need to boot from an encrypted volume. Just asking...
Anyway, can I just download the kernel source. Run make menuconfig, activate the Low level video output switch controls. Then -> make modules_install? And then copy the kernel-version over to boot, and use it? Or what else?
Thank you so much for helping, took me ages discovering this feature was disabled on purpose.

Not before next weekend. My best guess is next Wednesday or later.

[SOLVED] Faulty video output with mpv/mplayer, vaapi

Hi,
I have a HD6870 with the proprietary catalyst drivers installed, and the packages needed to enable vaapi. The problem I have is that every video application like mpv, mplayer or whatever refuses to give me correct video output with vaapi. mpv for example gives me these errors, depending on filetype:

mpv doesn't crash, it just falls back to software decoding and gives me a grey screen when it's not fullscreen, and when it's fullscreen it tears a lot and flashes random grey stripes everywhere - sound still works fine. Any ideas on what can be at fault here? The only video output that gives me an OK image without tearing or anything else is x11, but it's really slow.

Now try vainfo again. Instead of "Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.8.0" it should say "AMD MMD 1.0" or something like that.
Thanks, now VA-API at least gives me an output - but the video just flashes in fullscreen. I think another thing to notice here is that the video only plays correctly (gives me an output), if I play it on monitor 1 (I use three monitors) - but I can't get rid of the screen flashing.
EDIT: Fullscreen only flashes when I use mpv, with smplayer (+mpv) it works ok - but it lags from time to time. mplayer-vaapi won't give me a smooth playback either with -vo and -va as vaapi, and the screen also flashes when I'm using it.
Any idea on what's wrong? Is it my use of three monitors? This is really, really annoying.

You don't need to run it as root to get the correct information. For some reason the packages that got into extra didn't use ffmpeg correctly. Yours doesn't either.

Windows has a terribly broken privilege separation model. Well, the one they have now in 2000/XP/Vista is actually ok, but their legacy support makes it all but useless. Don't run ANYTHING as root unless it's absolutely required. It's not required to run VLC as root. Run it as a user.

Rebuild ffmpeg and vlc and you'll be fine. I left the PKGREL id the same, that way the arch team's next ffmpeg and vlc packages will replace mine.

Quicktime Export Error: "An output module stopped responding."

I'm experiencing an odd export error whenever I use any Quicktime codecs:
"After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects."
Similarly, Adobe Media Encoder hangs when outputting to Quicktime codecs. Neither program makes any progress at all before the hang occurs. At that point, I have to manually "end task" to exit. Also, it doesn't seem to matter what I try to export. In AME, for example, I can simply try to convert one video format to another and have it hang, so I don't think the problem is due to a problem with the source settings or effects. Also, I'm not attempting any multiprocessing since I don't really have enough RAM for that. Other output modules work, so I'm just exporting image sequences for the time being.
System specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i7-2600k processor
8 GB RAM
GTX 580 GPU
Software:
Adobe CS6
AE Plugins include Tracode Suite 12 and Optical Flares
Quicktime 7.7.3
Any thoughts on this? I've seen very few references to this error in other places, and not really found a solution that seems to apply to my situation. Thanks in advance for your help.
Josh

Thanks for setting me in the right direction. Clicking through to the 25 :: 101 error page (http://myleniumerrors.com/2013/01/06/25-101-4/) led me to a reference about other software, such as remote access software, using the same ports that AE needs for communication with its various processes. In my case, LogMeIn was the culprit. I had no idea that AE even used TCP for these types of operations, so that's very helpful to know.
*EDIT*
That worked temporarily, and now it doesn't work. I ran into a similar effect when I first disabled the Windows Firewall. But of course, as I type this and piddle around, it works again. It SEEMS like if I open AME and click into the output settings and scrub through the video preview, it makes everything work when I go to actually export. That's exactly the type of thing I would say is completely unrelated under normal circumstances, but at the moment all I know is that it is currently working and I don't want to test anything else until I finish the rendering I need to accomplish today. I'll work on it more later and post an update at that time.
Thanks,
Josh

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."
Screenshot of the error message:
I tried reinstalling QuickTime (7), repaired it, updated After Effects to the latest version(as I am writing this), checked firewall software, and used other formats such as AVI.
Adobe Media Encoder (CC 2014-latest version) won't work with me, either.
I sent the composition to Adobe Media Encoder, and this is what I got, no progress here.

Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

Hello,
I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
AEGP_SetOutputChannels
AEGP_SetStretchInfo
AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
The drop down list contains following format options
Adobe Clip Notes
Adobe Flash video
Quicktime movie
Video for Windows
I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
I follow below steps to do so.
1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
3. Add it to render queue
4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi Namita,
I am experiencing the same problem.
I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
It is always set to "avi"
I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
Does anyone know how to change this?

Multiple output modules cause render to fail?

Is anybody else having trouble with using multiple output modules in after effects? Let me elaborate: so I'm working on a 3d film, and my worflow is to simply work with the footage side by side in a single comp (we're at HD, so the comp size is 3840x1080). Very often, I need to fire off a quick render to show to the director. Most of the time, I just do the left eye by cropping to that 1920x1080 area in the output module. Other times I need to deliver both eyes, so instead of cropping to 1920x1080, I resize the frame in the output module to 1920x1080. Yea, we lose half of our horizontal resolution, but that's not such a big deal for us when just working on approvals.
Here's the thing: sometimes I like to export multiple variations of this at once (ie one output module for the left eye, one for the right eye, and another for the squished side-by-side left-right video). Whenever I try to output multiple modules with quicktime, it fails. Every time.
When it fails, I get two messages: the first (a warning) says "After Effects warning: last frame was written to one or more output modules, but not all! ( 26 :: 153 )"
The second message (an error) shows up once for each output module: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:\blahh blah blah\whereIputmyfiles\the_render.mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)." Once it fails, I cannot output to quicktime AT ALL (multiple output modules, or not) without restarting After Effects.
I tried outputting multiple modules as a PNG sequence... and that worked just fine (if "slow as hell" can ever be called "fine" .... but it worked! )
I tried outputting to the multiple formats I wanted with one output module per render item (rather than having one render item with multiple modules) as quicktime, and that worked just fine (of course... it takes N times as long though... for N number of outputs).
I am on Windows 7 64-bit... running After Effects CC 2014... I never had this trouble back when I was working on the CC version (the not 2014 cc version... that is too confusing...). However, I just went back and tried it with the older version, and it no longer works there either! What gives?
When outputting quicktime, I'm using the h.264 codec.
And before anybody suggests it, no I can't just use AME because that can't resize video (it forces you to keep the aspect ratio through letterboxing) or crop video.

>The most likely culprit is the h.264 Quicktime. It should have never been included as an option. It doesn't even work well in Quicktime Pro or in Final Cut...
I'll come to Apple's (partial) defense here:
Their H.264 codec was written and released at a time when it was difficult to imagine that mainstream computers would have as many CPUs as they do now, so it's somewhat understandable that the severe failures that this codec has with large numbers of threads occurs. Of course, we may all wish that Apple hadn't decided to end development on the QuickTime platform, since this has meant that bugs like this are likely to persist.
That said, this is why we increasingly recommend that people use other H.264 codecs and not use QuickTime for such things. See the H.264 options currently in Adobe Media Encoder.

Gatos - how to enable s-video output for ATI

i need to make s-video work on my laptop (want to connect laptop to big screen to present things - unfortunately this screen has no VGA but s-video)
in [extra] there is atitvout that should do this and also do so on my old computer (ATI mach64 chipset)
atitvout does not work on my thinkpad a31p - it does not recognize the card correctly and fails. for x.org i use the radeon driver and this works fine. it's a ATI FireGL 7800 that works fine with the "RV200" driver. but "radeon" does not have s-video output as far i know - no options how to enable s-video-out
after a long search on the internet, reading that most users that have my laptop never tried to make s-video work, i found GATOS:
under:
http://gatos.sourceforge.net/theater_out.php
there is a module that, if i understand it correctly, should make s-video work
what i don't know:
- how do you build this driver?
- how do you use it?
(anyone able to make a pkg work with newest xorg?)
nowhere documented is how to use it with xorg >6.8.0
anyone can help me?

atitvout just works with the vesa driver ...
and try the option "atitvout -f t" (and remember to put the tv connected before booting)
but the gatos drivers would be much better

Embed VLC video output into a Scene Graph

Hello,
I'm trying to embed a VLC player in a JavaFX 2.2 application.
For that I'm using the libvlc.dll library's API.
VLC provided two ways to render a video:
1. Call API function that takes HWND: +libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd (libvlc_media_player_t p_mi, void drawable)+ Set a Win32/Win64 API window handle (HWND) where the media player should render its video output.
2. Register a callback that gets called every time a frame should be rendered: +libvlc_video_display_cb (void opaque, void picture) Callback prototype to display a picture.+
With the HWND approach, I managed to extract an HWND pointer of the Scene using Glass framework, causing the video to render on the whole scene, no other nodes are visible.
With the Callback approach, and by using JavaFX 2.2 new javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas node, I was able to throw pixels at the canvas, but it turns to be very inefficient in terms of memory and thread usage.
I would love to have a solution as with AWT + JNA: the HWND can be extracted from java.awt.Canvas component (using JNA), and be given to libvlc API function. This canvas can be placed anywhere in the frame, not occupying all the entire window.
Hard Guidelines:
1. Integrating AWT/Swing with FX application is not an option, I want it to be a pure JavaFX application.
2. Using JavaFX Media API for playback is not an option, since I have a requirement to modify the media player's source code.
3. The video must not occupy the entire window, allowing other components to be visible.
Possible solution is to create my own node or control that will wrap Glass component View that has a HWND but I don't know how to bind and make it work with other Glass components.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Eli.

I would be interested in a solution for this as well.
I've already done a lot of experiments in this area trying many frameworks/players (Xuggler, GStreamer, VLC (VLCJ), MediaPlayer Home Cinema, DS4J, MPlayer) and it seems to be very hard to do what you ask. Best chances at the moment are to use GStreamer, which I've succesfully been able to overlay with JavaFX components in the same window (with a stiff CPU penalty though).
The other frameworks all have their drawbacks (Gstreamer as well). Most are low level which makes things like switching streams or doing subtitles a lot harder, some have poor control interfaces that donot expose enough functionality, etc). GStreamers main drawback is efficiency when using the Canvas (about 50% slower than native) but solvable by throwing more hardware at it. Also until recently its builds were not very up-to-date. I intend to soon test it again and see if I can get a fully working Canvas style solution with it.
Currently I use VLC (with VLCJ) and I play back videos in a seperate Frame, and have a second window (a Stage) that is transparent on top of it. This way I can mix JavaFX controls and a video. It is hackish and also annoying that you have to juggle two windows but it works fairly ok. This approach might also work for you if you resize the Canvas in the seperate frame to where it needs to be displayed and keep that area transparent in your JFX frame... but it is hardly optimal (but very fast since it can do direct rendering).
I haven't tried recently to mix it directly with JavaFX, but from what I read it seems possible now... but I'm pretty sure it will incur the same kind of CPU penalty as with GStreamer's Canvas :(

Cannot use Bridge after output module added. VERY frustrated. Thoughts?

I've followed the instructions for adding the output module. I've done it 3 times. Once the process is finished, Bridge will not open.
Not sure why the option wasn't included in the CC version of Bridge, but I'm getting really frustrated, and wondering why I'm paying for this.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

After Effects Audio Output Causes Render To Hang Then "Output Module Failed"

So I have been working on this video for a few weeks now, no special effects just 3D layers and text.
I had set it to render Thursday afternoon and it finished Friday night after I left work.
So today I came into work played the video and I realized I didn't render the audio. (NICE!)
So I reset the render que (didnt change anything but render audio settings) and the render
doesn't even start, it just stays at "Stage: Compressing and Writing" for a few minutes then gives me
the good ole' output module has failed.
Ive already restarted AE, and my comp, I also purged the memory.
Im running windows 7 (64 bit) with 8gb RAM and Intel Core i7-3770S CPU @ 3.10ghz
It is definitely the audio output, I tried rendering without it and it started up just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

just updated to 11.0.2 and still nothing
I click Render and it just says rendering but nothing changes
not even time elapsed or est. remaining
just stays on compressing and writing and my ram used doesnt even start going up

Output Module Settings for QT?

I am trying to set the output module in AE CS3 for HD in Quicktime but cannot find any combination of settings to make the final movie come out as HD. Details, original footage *.m2t (1440 X 1080 p30). The render seetings are Best Settings using the defaults. In the output module, I select format as QT Movie, video output as default which is compression DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, progressive, 16:9. I get the same results if stretch is checked off or on. If off, it comes up 1440 X 1080 custom, lock aspect ratio to 4:3. If on, I have tried HDV 1080 29.97 which changes nothing, and HDTV 1080 29.97. I note that the later does change the module to 1920 X 1080 lock aspect ratio to 16:9. IN EVERY CASE, the QT movie comes out as a 4:3. When played in the QT Pro player is it 4:3. When reinput to AE it is 4:3. When a single frame is saved and opened in photoshop, the canvas size is 16:9 but only partially filled with a 4:3 image (i.e., it has white columns on the sides). So is there anyway (or set of settings) that will give me a genuine, 16 X 9 movie that I can use in QT. I note that I have no trouble getting exactly the right output when I set it for *.avi. Help...Thanks, dale

Thanks Rick, I understand your ideas. My ultimate goal is personal
entertainment using BD disks and my HD TV. Eventually, possibly entering
amateur contests such as sponsored by Videomaker Mag or Muvipix.com. The
reason I'm pursuing QT is simply there is no better way to learn than to
work a problem until it is solved. I am using AE CS3 to implement visual
effects vignettes which is where my real interest lies. To get to BD, I use
Adobe PE4 as my NLE which is more than adequate. In so far as I know, AE
and PE work equally well with avi as with QT so I'm OK. On the other hand,
I also use PS CS2 which is married with Image Ready which seems to prefer
QT. PS is great to roto with it's many tools. I realize the new PS has
incorporated the Image Ready functionality and Image Ready is no longer
supported. Nonetheless, It's what I will have for the foreseeable future.
If worse comes to worse, I can always use AE (or PE) to output a sequence of
stills that can be imported into Image Ready and then shifted to PS for
work. If I had QT available, QT Pro outputs image sequences more quickly.
Image Ready, however, only outputs QT as footage. Dale
