hmm, -w "/home/mvergall/usa-new.mp3" i believe... can you try the same command line but with -a "/home/mvergall/usa-new.mp3" please?
Yes but would mean not using digikam ? that is what I was using to generate the mpg file. because there are 912 pictures in the slideshow... Michael
> Yes but would mean not using digikam ? > that is what I was using to generate the mpg file. because there are 912 pictures in the slideshow... Please it's a test to understand the problem, you can try with a jpg alone after being sure it fails as well.
ok no problem ... I didn't understand your request that's all.

Sorry which is the test you made? have you used -a option and failed? or just test with -w?

Hi Michael, would it be possible to modify bugs.sh so that mplex -v 3 .... is used to increase the level of verbosity to verbose/debug? If you want to shorten the time for the testing, you might just try out with a small number of images. Sounds like a problem/bug of mplex. Maybe re-encoding the sound file to a different format (ogg ?) would be a work-around? Most importantly: note, that Angelo asked you something different, see his first comment #c1, so maybe that should be tested first. Best, Arnd

It turns out that I can't get mplex to -v 3 due to the fact that images2mpg doesn't support verbosity level 3. Now I'll test with a .ogg file and see what happens...to me however it is starting to look like mplex is at fault for some reason. will report back when I've tested the .ogg file. Michael
> It turns out that I can't get mplex to -v 3 hmm can you try -v 2, that one should go i believe
If that does not provide enough output, you could just copy images2mpg to your home directory, edit the corresponding place in the script and run it via ./images2mpg (For the edit: just add VERBOSE_=3, and replace the two lines with $MPLEX_BIN -v $VERBOSE by $MPLEX_BIN -v $VERBOSE_)
Arnd Baecker wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] cheers that's what I needed to do ! I was looking for a way to do this but could not find it ... will do straight away. tried to create a .mpg using .ogg as sound source. it worked ok and created the test .mpg fine but when playing back the .mpg file the audio played back ok but then the video output did not. So now I'll do what you asked here...
Eh ... mplex 1.8.0 only has the max verbose level 2 will try with -v 2 and see what's up.

Should mplex be able to deal with mp3 at all? man mplex gives: """Mplex is a general-purpose audio/video multiplexer for MPEG-1/MPEG-2. It accepts one or more MPEG-1/2 video stream, MPEG layer I/II/III, DTS, AC3 and LPCM audio streams and multiplexes them into a combined program/system stream according to the constraints specified.""" No mention of mp3? Just wondering if this is relevant.
> No mention of mp3? Just wondering if this is relevant. mhmm don't know reaaly, sure i've found some mp3 that don't work.. There should be somewhere a tool called mp3check (i can't find it now here) that should check mp3 integrity... maybe a check could say more... > It accepts one or more MPEG-1/2 video stream, MPEG layer I/II/III, DTS, Doesn't MPEG layer III mean mp3 anyway? or am i wrong?
Angelo, of course you are right - sorry, need a holiday it seems ;-) To check mp3 inegrity: maybe checkmp3 ? (on debian: 'aptitude install checkmp3')
digiKam has a new Video Slideshow tool based on QtAV and ffmpeg which do not have this problem. Gilles Caulier
