pyTivo list of supported audio and video location?

[toddhutch]

I've ran into much fun trying to figure out which of my video archieves I will be able to transfer to my newly purchased S3 for HD viewing.

Is there a list of the ffmpeg_mp2.exe compatible encodings?

I recently ran into an error with what appears to be the audio using pyTivo.


Duration: 02:18:14.7, start: 5.000000, bitrate: 7629 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Audio: 0x0162, 48000 Hz, 5:1, 768 kb/s
Stream #0.1: Video: vc1, yuv420p, 1280x534, 24.00 fps(r)
Output #0, vob, to 'pipe:':
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 1440x720, q=2-31, 16777 kb/s, 29.97 f
ps(c)
Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5:1, 448 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.1 -> #0.0
Stream #0.0 -> #0.1
Unsupported codec (id=0) for input stream #0.0


Suggestions would be apprecieated.

Not sure what an 0162 audio stream is supposed to be. Looks like ffmpeg is also confused as the file does not correctly identify the audio codec.....just guessing from the text above. Also if you have a S3 then there is no need to convert the video resolution or frame rate here.

Just another guess, but maybe ffmpeg is expecting the video stream to be 0.0 and the audio stream to be 0.1, instead of the reverse. But I have never paid attention to see if that matters. The previous poster may be correct in that ffmpeg does not recognize the audio codec. Try manually encoding with ffmpeg and see what happens. You might try WinFF to see if you get a similar error encoding to NTSC DVD format.

ffmpeg got the track mapping OK -- looks like the audio format wasn't recognized.

The documentation for ffmpeg is ***here***. (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/documentation.html). The codecs and file formats handled (a lot of them!) are listed in the General section while the many (but not all!) command options are in the ffmpeg documentation section. The documentation is terse and probably somewhat lagging the continued rapid development but, after all, most of us are in the "you can't handle the truth" category anyway! With ffmpeg you "pays yer money (nothing) and takes yer choices."
