Bytessence AMVConverter 1.1 (Windows) doesn't produce AMV

[itspete]

Hi.
I've tried Bytessence_AMVConverter_1.1_(Windows) and it does not produce and AMV file that will play.
Are there any know issues with this routine? and if so, any solutions?

All the best
Charles

Hi itspete, did it throw any error ? There might be problems with some files, not all of them can be converted. Also, if it converted sucessfully, are you sure your player was intended to use AMV and not AVI files?

I'll investigate this further.

The AMV player is the original one for that format.

The file used is a straight MPEG1 Audio layer 2 which should convert.

FFMpeg shows the following:-
confuguration..enabling memalign hack ..enable gpl..enable liba52..enable libmp3lame..enable libxvid..enable libogg (can't read the rest)
crash
Not a bug in libavcodec..but in compiler.
and so on....

Hope this helps.

Oh, in this case there's not much I can do... It's a FFMpeg problem. I do not work with C/C++ so I can't fix this bug. It is indeed known to crash with some video files (randomly).

About that warning message, with the "enablememhack", that's not a bug. In order to be able to compile FFMpeg on Windows, that flag must be specified. Absolutely any FFmpeg build for Windows will show that. Again, this is the way FFmpeg has been ported and not an error in the converter. It's just a needed "hack" in order to make it compile on this platform.

Anyway, when the next version is released, I'll recompile FFMpeg from the latest SVN, maybe it will fix some of these random errors. I am sorry I can't help more with this.
