#10 Video not visible

[Anonymous]

GOPchop starts normally and successfully opens MPGs.
After .gop generation the video-window pops up and play
works fine except that video-window does not shown
anything. There is only window decorations drawn and
the area inside them is not (re)drawn by GOPchop at any
time. If I drag a window over it, and drag it away,
the contents of the other window remain visible within
GOPchop video preview window.

GOPchop used to work. I have edited several videos. I
can not remember any particular action after which the
problems came. I have only aptituded my distro
up-to-date every now and then. I tried to purge
gopchop package and reinstall it, but it did not help.
Neither helped trying various different video output
drivers. In fact nothing changed. :-/

I have up-to-date Ubuntu Hoary

I have the exact same problem, using GOPchop 1.1.7 compiled
from the tarball. I run Linux 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 #3 PREEMPT

I was able to compile GOPchop 1.1.4 to 1.1.7, but each had
the same problem (no video). Versions 1.0.0 to 1.0.3 and cvs
did not compile successfuly.

I have the same problem with 1.1.7. I'm using Gentoo-amd64.
It's really weird. I tried removing the preference file with
no success. It seems there is another place Gopchop stores
state in. I'm trying to switch back to 1.0.0 now.

OK, I had no success compiling 1.0.0 either.
I tried rebuilding 1.1.7 (make clean; configure; make) with
no success.
While recompiling I noticed the following messages:

In file included from gtkspu.c:27:
../include/GOPchop.h:56:3: warning: #warning "Not compiling
for large file (>2G) support!"
In file included from gtkspu.c:37:
file_buffer.h:81:3: warning: #warning "Not compiling for
large file (>2G) support!"

I suspect some incompatibilities with new libc/libX11.

I compiled and installed GOPchop, and everything was working
fine.

Then, I added the Freshrpms repo, and the video window
disappeared.

Before I installed the Freshrpms, the system had
wxGTK-common 2.4.2-12. After I installed Freshrpms, the
system had wxGTK 2.6.2. I don't know, but I'm wondering if
that could be the cause of the disappearing video window.

I just downloaded and compiled the latest version and all
went fine. I have the same problem as the poster, i.e. that
no video is shown in the preview window. All other things in
the program seems to work, but no video. I have tried
changing to a couple of different display drivers to no avail.

Is there a way, using gopchop together with mplayer, to
figure out the GOP-positions so that I can do it "blindly"
in the app?

I get exactly the same problem, but running
gopchop -v x11 FILE
seems to work, (xv and xv2 give the no video problem,
and sdl gives a black screen).
Setting the preferences to the x11 driver doesn't
seem to fix the problem, it seems to need it on the
command line.

I have the same problem, running 1.1.7 on Gentoo-amd64.
Using the binary nvidia-drivers, it helped to use the reset button in the video (?) tab of the nvidia-settings program. Then xv output works, until I use mplayer again to play a video. Which can be corrected again by re-resetting.

With the open source "nv" driver the settings program does not work, though.
I tried the -v x11 command line from the first comment, and it works again.

I did not look into the code, but could it be, that some sort of initialization for xv is missing/incomplete/incorrect? Like a presumed default setting, which is touched by other programs (especially mplayer)?
