Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I installed into my PC (-WindowsXP) ImageMagic-6.6.8-Q16 and Ghostscript901. I tried to trasform some files type PostScript in a file type mpeg but it does not work.

do you have an mpeg delegate installed such as ffmpeg?

convert -list configure

look at line starting with DELEGATES. Does it show mpeg?

or

convert -list format

Does it list:


MPEG MPEG rw+ MPEG Video Stream
MPG MPEG rw+ MPEG Video Stream

do you have an mpeg delegate installed such as ffmpeg?

I think I succeded, See the following lines
FFmpeg version SUN-r23418
......
ffmpeg_output @ 01bbf940 autoinserting filter ' auto inserted scaler 0' between the filter ' src' and the filter 'out' .....

Does it list:


MPEG MPEG rw+ MPEG Video Stream
MPG MPEG rw+ MPEG Video StreamFred's ImageMagick Scripts

Yes , this works.

What is your exact command line?
What error message do you get?
Do you have ghostscript installed

type

convert -list configure

look at line starting with DELEGATES. Does it show mpeg and gs?

From the notes on mpeg and other video output....
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#mpeg

To avoid heavy pixelization.... or directly use ffmpeg

Our exact command line and error message are :
D:\mac_fontana>convert *.pgs fontana.mpeg

Line starting with DELEGATES does not show mpeg nor gs.

Ghostscript installed is 901

Thanks a lot for your help.

If the line starting with DELEGATES does not show mpeg or gs, then IM does not recognize them or they are in the wrong place or you installed them after installing IM. Try reinstalling your delegates, make sure they were installed successfully and then reinstall IM. All of what I tell you is based upon my experience on Mac/Unix, so if you are on Windows, things may be different from what I tell you. Then perhaps you need help from some one more experience with Windows/IM/delegates.

The ffmpeg delegate is not a library delegate but a command delegate. that is it actualy runs the command "ffmpeg".

<delegate encode="mpeg:encode" stealth="True" command=""ffmpeg" -v -1 -mbd rd -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -pass 1/2 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z""/>

Not quite certain what all that means, but the command itself appears to be... I think! Never seen a "mpeg:encode" name for a delegate, and there does not appear to be a output filename. Perhaps it is a pipeline delegate?

However the delegate.xml file does say that the normal rules do not apply for mpeg formats.
