How does one convert a video file into a DM355 mpeg4 decoder format?

the MediaComverter tool will produce an AVI file; you still need to extract the elementary video stream from the AVI file using FFMPEG or MENCODER

I have the same problem... When the video starts, I see a sort of slideshow, each slide displaying video, slites slowly moving from left to right.

What is the problem? And what is the solution?

The video is OK. I see the very good image but moving to right.

Thanks.

I think this means that somewhere in the process of making the file the width of the frames you are working with was wider than expected, even if you were a pixel off in width the image would creep to the right. As to a solution if we assume the problem is that the frame is too wide at some point we would either have to adjust the expectations of the receiver to be wider or adjust the actual source to be less wide.

Do you have a short clip of this you could share so we could see what you are seeing? If it is small enough you may be able to attach it to your forum profile, or if you could host it elsewhere or we can look into an alternate method to transfer the file.

ps.: I am a SARAN that said above. I don't know why I was logged like SARAN. My right sign is this one.

Bernie,

I am using only mencoder and venc application. I have a eval version of the MediaConverter. The video that I'm using has .mov extension and I don't use the MediaConverter to convert to AVI format, I use a mencoder directly and after the venc application. I was using the commands:

   on the Linux PC: mencoder <myfile>.mov -ovc raw -nosound -vf scale=640:480,format=UYVY -o <myfile>.yuv

and

   on the DM355: ./venc <myfile>.yuv <myfile>.mpeg4

Then happened the problem that I said. So I readed a mencoder guide in the link http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html and modified the first command to:

  on the Linux PC: mencoder <myfile>.mov -ovc raw -of rawvideo -lavcopts aspect=4/3 -uf scale=640:480,format=UYVY -o <myfile>.yuv

 on the DM355: ./venc <myfile>.yuv <myfile>.mpeg4

Now, the video doesn't move to right.

I am a engineer from Brazil and I am developing a product that use the DM355.

When we will have the tool from TI that convert directly one video to TI DM355 MPEG4 format that you said above? Is possible to decode in DM355 a MPEG4 file that contains audio and video together? I am worried with this.

Thanks.

xalexandregr,

Are you Alexandre Rabelo by any chance?  If so, you should have received instructions (from support@ti.com) on picking up the tool from one of our ftp sites on Monday.  Let me know if this is not the case.   

Juan,

Yes, I am Alexandre Rabelo. I received your email instruction and picked up the tool but I don't know why use MediaConverter if I can play my video in DM355 without use it.

Alexandre,

Are you saying you can take an MPEG4 stream (e.g. one found on the web for example) and use MENCODER to convert it to a format which plays on DM355.  If so, this is news to us and eliminates the need for MediaConverter.

As far as I know, we can only play MPEG4 stream encoded with DM355; if the MPEG4 stream come from some other external source, then you had to use MediaConverter to convert stream to a form suitable for DM355.  If you are saying all you need is MENCODER to convert the stream, then this is great news.  Please let us know if this is the case.

Juan,

I get this video .mov with my friend here. It is the new 007 movie trailer (properties: H.264 1280x532). I don't use the MediaConverter. I use directly in mencoder and after in venc. The video play acelerated and i don't know what is the problem. All videos that I tried play on DM355 played acelerated.

The MediaConverter can not convert this video that I said. The MediaConverter returned error but i didn't understand. It converted other videos. Has a MediaConverter any restriction with video format ou extension?

I am glad to hear that the new commands for mencoder fixed the right shifting issue, I imagine tht the old options may have left in a few bytes of extra data, as anything that makes the distance between lines longer could end up causing a rightward shift.

The codecs on the DM355 can only handle audio or video by themselves, to handle both you need a higher level piece of software to handle synchronization and demuxing (assuming audio and video are in a container format like .avi). The typical solution to this on Davinci is to use GStreamer, this tool allows you to use containerized formats like .avi to play both audio and video simultaneously with AV synchronization.

Mencoder is not actually reencoding the file to a DM355 playable MPEG4 format, it is just decoding the source video and dumping it into a raw yuv file, which can than be taken into the DM355 and encoded using the venc program to generate a DM355 playable MPEG4 stream. Essentially the process shold go: source video file -> mencoder -> raw yuv file -> venc program on DM355 -> DM355 compatible MPEG4 stream.

Alexandre,

This is great news. 

FYI, since DM355 plays elementary streams containing video or audio data only (e.g. if you notice, data passed to decoder is exactly the size of a video frame), it does not have any time-stamp information.  The time stamp information is probably stripped out by MENCODER; therefore DM355 will play stream as fast as it can (the way the decode demo is written).  You can certainly add delays in the demo if you want a slower frame rate.  Ideally, if you want to play the video stream at the proper frame rate, you want an application which can process transport streams.  This application will take the place of MENCODER and strip out the data that is not needed by DM355, but instead of throwing away that data, the application can use it to not only control the frame rate, but also sync audio and video streams.  I believe Gstreamer offers much of this functionality (except for transcoding MOV file to something DM355 can play); it may be worth taking a look at the following wiki article. http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=DM3xx_Gstreamer_Solution

I am guessing MediaConverter cannot handle MOV files.

Thank you for the description.  Now I understand why this is possible (I was missing how venc fit into the picture).

This solution using GStreamer installed on DM355 Board??

It can be installed on a DM355 board, the actual software is posted earlier in this thread here.

OK Bernie.

I will try using GStreamer solution.

First, The procedure to install the GStreamer for DM355 is make on the board or on Linux PC?

In the link http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=DM3xx_Gstreamer_Solution, MontaVista Pro 4.0.1 ARM toolchain is one system requirement. Need I buy a professional version to install the GStreamer or i can install with the demo version that come together the board?

Running the script to install the GStreamer BUILD-ALL.SH I get the follow error:

"Makefile:16: /home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/codec_engine_2_00_01/ex
amples/xdcpaths.mak: No such file or directory
make: Warning: File `xdccfg_linuxarm.mak' has modification time 1.2e+09 s in the
 future
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/co
dec_engine_2_00_01/examples/xdcpaths.mak'.  Stop."

The DVSDK_1_30_00_40 is installed in my LINUX PC and not in the DM355 board. I am using NFS. In the archive BUILD.CONF I set the variable TARGETFS_PATH with location in my host where is the file system. Why the instalation need this information? I am a little confused...

1) installation should happen in Linux PC

2) you should be abe to use the demo version

3) there must be a path setup incorrectly somewhere as the file "/home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/codec_engine_2_00_01/examples/xdcpaths.mak" should be present in dvsdk_1_30_00_40

4) The gstreamer DM355 port has dependencies on codec engine; it basically takes a media file (e.g. AVI) and extracts the audio and video elementary streams; it then passes these streams to the DM355 to be decoded via codec engine APIs.

You could build GStreamer on the DM355 or on the Linux PC theoretically, building on the Linux PC with a cross compiler is how this is setup to be built by default, it builds faster that way anyway.

The demo version of MV 4.0.1 should be just fine.

Are you trying to run this build command on the DM355 or on your host PC? The build needs to access other files from your DVSDK installation to build which is another reason you typically build this type of application on the host Linux PC, the build needs access to this because the GStreamer port utilizes Codec Engine so it can use the accelerated codecs.

I'm trying to run on the host PC. I'm getting a lot of problems with PATHS that are not included and archives are not been found. I'm stopped in a problem like this. The package 'ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem' can not be found and I see the error:

"js: "/home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/xdc_3_00_02/packages/xdc/xdc.tci", line 270: exception from uncaught JavaScript throw: Error: xdc.loadPackage: can't find package 'ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem' along the path '/home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/codec_engine_2_00_01/examples;

I found for this package using the LOCATE command but I don't found a package with this name. I found only this archives:

"alexandre@alexandre-desktop:~/montavista/dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3$ locate ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem

/home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/cmem_2_00_01/packages/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/package/ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem.sch"

I added the PATH /home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/cmem_2_00_01/packages/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/package into XDCPATH because was not there but I still have the problem.

Do you know anything about this problem?

Thanks

Two things worth mentioning

1) reference to codec_engine_2_00_01/cetools directory makes me think paths are still not defined correctly; try setting USE_CETOOLS_IF_EXISTS to '0' in your xcpaths.mak file.

2) 'ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem' is simply nomenclature that defines the direcotry hierarchy of cmem package; it does not mean it is a file you will be able to find.

I looked into /home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/xdc_3_00_02/packages/xdc/xdc.tci in line 270, where report the error and now is right.

 "var fname = qn.replace(/\./g, '/');
    var pdir = '/package/';
    var cname = xdc.findFile(fname + pdir + qn + '.sch');

    if (cname == null) {
        xdc.om.$require.pop();
        throw new Error ("xdc.loadPackage: can't find package '" + qn
            + "' along the path '" + xdc.curPath()
            + "'; try redefining the package path (XDCPATH).");"

The codig above, show how it look for the package. it take a qn variable ('ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem') plus extension .sch. This file I Know where is. My error was add the wrong PATH in the Makefile in dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3//libce/Makefile. The right PATH to this package is /home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/cmem_2_00_01/packages/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/package/ti.sdo.linuxutils.cmem.sch. I need add this PATH in XDCPATH into Makefile but only /home/alexandre/montavista/dvsdk_1_30_00_40/cmem_2_00_01/packages because the final part of the PATH already is the variables FNAME and PDIR.

It's a great fail of the GStreamer installator. This PATHS should be included.

Now, Is all OK and I'm downloading the packages form internet.

This is great news.  Thank you for sharing the solution; I am sure others will find it useful

I'm having other problem now with the glib-genmarshal.

what version of glib-genmarshal do you have (just go to corresponding dir and type "./glib-genmarshal -v").  The latest DVSDK has version 2.8.3

Juan,

The version of the glib-genmarshal is thi one, 2.8.3 but the message say that this version doesn't support. Say I need a newer version. ;/

This error is related to building GStreamer on DM355, correct?  If so, I will have to try this myself, but will probably not get a chance until next week.  You can also try posting your question on http://www.gstreamer.net/

Just to confirm, you did get the "dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3.tar.bz2" file from this post thread correct: https://community.ti.com/forums/p/935/4646.aspx#4646?

yes, I got this archive and I'm building using it.

Did anybody install the GStreamer correctly?

I am installing the GStreamer package and I have a problem.

I downloaded dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3.tar.bz2 from Bernie post. Into the directory /dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3/opensource/ exist the script make-os.sh that look for the some directory. It look for directory /dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3/opensource/libmad-0.15.1b and doesn't exist this directory. In the same form, doesn't exist the directory /dm355-gst-ti-0.2.3/opensource/libid3tag-0.15.1b. It's cause the error. If doesn't have this directory, can I think this directory isn't important and comment this code part?

Do you have internet connection from the machine where you are running the gstreamer build scripts? 

Please note that when you run the top-level "build-all.sh" script, it downloads all the files you are referring to via the internet.

Yes, i have connection to internet. The script downloaded the packages already.

This definitively does not look right and can be the cause of the errors you are seeing.

I do not have internet connection on my Linux host, but I have manually downloded the files listed in opensource/download.sh and ran

./download.sh -nd   (option that skip download and only uncompress and patch)

I can definitely see the directories you claim are missing.  Therefore, it appears something went wrong with the download process.  FYI, some sites did take a while to respond, hence maybe there was a network timeout that resulted in the missing files.

Juan,

Where need I put this packages to the download.sh uncompress and patch? Into /opensource?

you need to download the following files

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.16/glib-2.16.5.tar.bz2 

http://liboil.freedesktop.org/download/liboil-0.3.15.tar.gz

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-ugly/gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.8.tar.bz2

and place them under 'opensource/tmp' directory; them simply run "./download.sh -np".  FYI, The top-level script "build-all.sh" is supposed to this for you, but if something fails along the way, you can start tracing the scripts from this top-level script and see where things went wrong.  The fact that you have those missing directories tells me something went wrong in the "download.sh" script; since I do not have internet I downloaded the above files manually and ran the script manually.  It seems to work for me, so my guess is that there was a problem downloading the files (e.g. network timeout).

I am having other problem now. When I use the command:

./gst.sh 3 <avi file>.avi

I see the error:

"/usr/local/bin/gst-launch-0.10: error while loading shared libraries: libgstream
er-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Why this library can't be loaded?

Jeff,

It is great news that you got gstreamer working on dm355; as I suggested in an earlier post, we are aware there are issues with this gstreamer port and are working on a more robust port which will be hosted on Gforge and allow you to submit bugs against it.  Although I do not have an official release date, my best guess would be 1Q09.

"0:00:00.227574000  1130 0x19e88 ERROR         GST_PIPELINE ./grammar.y:494:_gst_

What is it? I think is the other think I need install!

You should set the environment of gstreamer. please set it as following:

export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10 (your gstreamer library directory).

How to create an avi file that be played on DM355 EVM? Thanks.

I'm having other problem now with the glib-genmarshal.

install -d -m 0755 /home/alexandre/workdir/filesys/usr/local/lib
install -m 0644 libce.so.0.2.0 /home/alexandre/workdir/filesys/usr/local/lib
ln -sf libce.so.0.2.0 /home/alexandre/workdir/filesys/usr/local/lib/libce.so
Error: glib-genmarshal does not supprt --internal option
Please upgrade to newer version

This binary archive in located in
/home/alexandre/montavista/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/bin/glib-genmarshal that is into the demo version of the montavista pro. So, How can I update this binary? I don't know how the montavista pro installation made this file.

I met just the same problem ...

I see that you have solved this successfully.

Could you please give me some advice  ?

This problem has puzzled for several days....

Thanks...
