I´ve also been looking for ogg support youtube-like alternative sites. and lol, wtf with the passive agressiveness? <div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/30 Máirín Duffy <<a href="mailto:mairin@linuxgrrl.com">mairin@linuxgrrl.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Mon, 2009-11-30 at 15:12 -0500, Gregory Maxwell wrote: > 2009/11/30 Máirín Duffy <<a href="mailto:mairin@linuxgrrl.com">mairin@linuxgrrl.com</a>>: > > Hi, > > I just posted a 15 minute 'fun things in Fedora' video.

As noted, the videos were created in Fedora 12 using PiTiVi. I attempted to encode them 3 times, for a total of 3 hours rendering time (I let the last one render overnight last night since I had wasted hours already) using an Ogg container, Theora video codecs, and Vorbis & Celt sound codecs. Every single time, the video rendered completely out-of-sync. Even though gstreamer was used to render it, it refused to play in gstreamer players, only playing in mplayer. I finally had to render it using an avi container / mpeg2 / mp3, and that only took 15 minutes to render. I attempted to upload it to <a href="http://blip.tv" target="_blank">blip.tv</a> at first, as I already noted, and after 2 failed attempts (a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes of my time) I gave up and had it uploaded to YouTube in 30 minutes. Whenever I have to upload something to YouTube, I always make an ogv version available (you can see in my past blog posts where I've done this) but in this case it simply was not possible as it would not encode successfully. You can ask anyone who knows me - I am insanely religious about software freedom and codec freedom. After spending hours filming, editing, rendering, and uploading these video (I would guesstimate about 12 hours total, during my holiday vacation time) I became impatient and just wanted to share the video instead of putting myself through continued pain trying to do it the right way. Can you help me get this working with ogg & <a href="http://blip.tv" target="_blank">blip.tv</a>? Is there a bug in PiTiVi or F12's theora / ogg / celt / vorbis encoders that resulted in my having such a poor experience? What do you suggest? I used all of the default settings in PiTiVi as I wasn't sure what encoder settings to tweak (and at ~1 hour rendering time per attempt making wild guesses would not be a prudent usage of my time.) ~m <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com">Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
