Springy Posted June 28, 2015 Hi, hi, I was wondering if any of you lads/lasses could help me with this as I appear to be having trouble with my set-up for converting .lmps to video in PrBoom + 2.5.1.4 but the thing is, it's set up exactly the same as my 2.5.1.3 folder which works but in PrBoom 2.5.1.4 it doesn't appear to output my video file. Screenshot below shows the codec stuff in my folder. -timedemo nameofdemo -vidump output.mkv is what I am using and it's usually supposed to go through a very slow process but it seems to play the demo very fast which suggests that something is a miss. I have noticed that video pipe failed has been output in the std.txt. My guess is that I am missing something, I would have thought ffmpeg but my set up for 2.5.1.3 does not have that. I have included the config set-up below, too.

Ryback Posted June 28, 2015 I can't see x264 in your 2.5.1.4 directory. Which would explain the below error: Spoiler I_CapturePrep: opening pipe "x264 -o output.mp4 --crf 22 --muxer mp4 --demuxer raw --input-csp rgb --input-depth 8 --input-res 640x480 --fps 35 -" I_CapturePrep: video pipe failed Copy that in and it should work okay 0 Share this post Link to post
Springy Posted June 28, 2015 I found it and copied it across and it works, thanks. I thought I had the folder set-up the same way obviously not. 0 Share this post Link to post
Springy Posted June 28, 2015 Sorry for the double post but I need a favour. I managed to get my Valiant map 05 demo converted but for some reason this cheeky little minx keeps crashing my laptop even upon completion of converting. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to convert this into a video for me, please. As I know a few people who like to watch them on my channel and aren't that familiar with doom demo files. 0 Share this post Link to post
Keyboard_Doomer Posted June 29, 2015 No one posted the video for you yet, so here it is from me. Let me know if you want the video in a higher screen resolution or something else differently. 0 Share this post Link to post
MD922 Posted June 30, 2015 Instead of making another thread, I'll just ask my demo outputting questions here. I have x264.exe, oggenc2.exe and mkvmerge.exe in the PrBoom+ folder and in the command lines I put -timedemo (for example) z301-04x149.lmp -viddump z301-04x149.mkv and I get no output in my PrBoom+ folder. I am using 2.5.1.4, and this is what video_stderr.txt says: x264 [error]: Unknown demuxer `..' mux_stdout.txt: mkvmerge v5.1.0 ('And so it goes') built on Nov 28 2011 23:58:28 Error: The source file 'output.264' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work.

Ryback Posted July 2, 2015 What are your video capture settings in prboom-plus.cfg, in particular cap_videocommand? From your log it looks like it's set to this: x264 -o output.264 --crf 22 --muxer auto --demuxer ..which is missing a few switches. It would probably work better with the line below: x264 -o output.mp4 --crf 22 --muxer auto --demuxer raw --input-csp rgb --input-depth 8 --input-res %wx%h --fps 35 - 0 Share this post Link to post

Let me know if you want the video in a higher screen resolution or something else differently. Sorry for the late response as it has been very busy at work (hot weather plus the systems I work equals very serious issues). Cheers for taking the time to do that. I would normally but I believe this laptop is on its last legs as it seems to crash quite often nowadays. 0 Share this post Link to post
