My app for video-cutting (kdenlive) cannot handle the avi-file, that Nexuiz creates through capturing. Maybe it is an ffmpeg-issue.
When i drag a captured video on the timeline and play it, the programm crashes, when the timeline reaches the end of the file.

To which format can i convert these raw avi-files, so that the loss of quality is as small as possible?

First, try just rewriting the AVI:

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o new.avi dpvideo001.avi

If that won't help, use any format with a selectable VBR quality factor:

mencoder -ovc lavc -oac pcm -o new.avi -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vqscale=1 dpvideo001.avi

(typo fixed, thanks)

Yes, copying the file was my first idea, too. But that does not work. I will try it with this:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i dpvideo007.avi -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq neu.avi

Btw, you mad a typo. It should be "-ovc lavc".

Thx for your help.
