2008-08-17 17:05:53 Guillaume Martres medibuntu: statusexplanation Recent versions of ffmpeg except the -ab argument to be in bytes, not kilobytes, so you should use "-ab 64000" and should probably report a bug to the any2dvd developers.

2008-08-18 15:04:37 Adam Buchbinder description Create a wav file: $ ecasound -i null -t:20 -o test.wav Attempt to encode it to ac3: $ ffmpeg -y -i test.wav test.ac3 This works. But attempt to specify bitrate--even the default bitrate--and this happens: $ ffmpeg -y -i test.wav -ab 64 test.ac3 FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaadbin --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-xvid --enable-x264 --enable-liba52 --enable-amr_nb --enable-amr_wb --enable-shared --prefix=/usr libavutil version: 1d.49.3.0 libavcodec version: 1d.51.38.0 libavformat version: 1d.51.10.0 built on Jul 29 2008 18:21:25, gcc: 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) Input #0, wav, from 'test.wav': Duration: 00:00:20.0, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1411 kb/s Stream #0.0: Audio: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, stereo, 1411 kb/s Output #0, ac3, to 'test.ac3': Stream #0.0: Audio: ac3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 0 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height This bug breaks the any2dvd script; removing the -ab options in menu_audio() fixes it, but this also fixes the audio bitrate to the default, 64 kbps. I'm running 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 on Hardy. ffmpeg 0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1's man page documents the -ab switch as taking a value in kbits/s; new versions take bits/s. So "-ab 64" in old versions should read "-ab 64k" or "-ab 64000" in new ones.
2008-08-18 15:04:37 Adam Buchbinder title -ab switch is broken for ac3 output Man page documents -ab switch improperly.

2008-09-07 18:00:41 Lionel Le Folgoc medibuntu: statusexplanation any2dvd is unmaintained; I was patching it to work on my system. The man page for ffmpeg is incorrect; I'll attach a patch against ffmpeg_0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1 momentarily, and change the bug description.
