I have a problem with it in combination with dvdrip, the graphical frontend. dvdrip has a cluster mode which distributes the encoding work on several nodes, where each node gets several thousand video frames to encode with transcode. The problem is that the transcode processes on the nodes sometime stop when they have finished their work (100% done) but they don't exit, so the cluster control can't assign new jobs to them. I tried to run the respective commands that dvdrip generates by hand on the nodes and I get the same behaviour: some chunks encode without problems, some encode up to 100% but then the process hangs around idle. The commands I use look like this: `which nice` -n 10 transcode -i /hugo/bla/vob/002 -a 0 -w 1504,250,100 -b 128,0,0 -s 2.963 --a52_drc_off -V -f 25 -Y 12,5,12,11 -B 27,10,8 -x vob -o /hugo/dvd/avi/002/chunks-psu-00/bla-002-00003.avi -y xvid -S 0 -W 3,11,/hugo/dvd/tmp/bla-002-nav.log && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS I asked on the dvdrip list, but they said it's a transcode problem (which I can comprehend), and I asked on the transcode list, too, but got no response. I suppose it's a problem with FreeBSD. I use transcode v0.6.0pre5. Any ideas are appreciated, regards, le PS: Please keep me CC'ed. --=20 Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX-Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Zentraler Informatikdienst (ZID) Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 der Universit=E4t Wien http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
