[Mjpeg-users] Encoding large DV files to mpeg-1 and mpeg-2

[George K. <ko...@cs...>]

Hi,
      I have a large number of DV files to be encoded to mpeg-1 and mpeg-2.  
The DV file is large 13 GB (It is DV in avi).  I compiled mjpeg tools on 
redhat 7.2 and redhat 9. The glibc I have supports files larger than 2 GB and 
the configure in mjpeg tools shows that glibc supports files larger than 2 
GB.  But I find that the lav2wav and lav2yuv pick up only around 1 GB of data 
from the file -- I see only 4.42 seconds in the final encoded video. I did 
some searching around and found that DV had 1 GB limit and there is an 
opendml extension which allows for larg DV (in avi). I am able to 
successfully encode the DV with mencoder to MPEG-4. But I really need mpeg-1 
and mpeg-2.  Could someone tell me how to accomplish it.


Thanks,
George
