Discussion:
[CinCV] Render error - file writing

Hi,

I'm not a regular user of Cinerella, but today I created a small project
and failed to render it. Rendering to m2v file, first the video, using a
shell script that used to work in the past gives me a "write error".
Does this something have to do with permissions? I'm working in my home
directory, and Cinerella had no problem recording the xml project file.
Only the rendering part fails.

As I said, rendering has worked a few years back with the same script,
so I don't know what's going on now. Have I messed up something since
last time it worked?

Thanks for anyone's input,

Janos

I would certainly look at the script and check permissions on every file
it touches. Perhaps it has a hard-coded temp directory that doesnt'
exist or your account doesn't have write permissions on?

Hi

I would export that to a more robust codec like a quicktime mov or mjpeg
then use ffmpeg externally for your final rendering..
cheers

Hi Janos,

Are you calling mpeg2enc from your script? If yes: do you have
mjpegtools installed?

Btw, I have a problem with mjpegtools since a couple of years anyway.
The official mjpegtools package doesn't seem to be compatible with
cinelerra anymore, in fact it generates a video output as if it was
scrambled. I guess dimensions of the output video are corrupt. I could
find only one solution: building cinelerra from source, so that it uses
its own private version of mjpegtools.

I'd be interested in a smoother solution, please let me know if you have
an idea. I'm using SuSe.

Thanks,
Bye, Joe
