Title: OGG cutscene doesn't play correctly
Post by: FreeSpaceFreak on September 14, 2009, 02:48:17 pm

So I'm make this intro cutscene, encode it to OGG, watch it with VLC (no problems) , watch it with Firefox (no problems) , then watch it in FS. And it breaks. It's as if the vid is stretched and skewed diagonally, and the colours are wrong as well. Retail intros, however, play fine.

I used SUPER for conversion (settings screenshot attached) , testing on 3.6.10 official. You can find a piece of it here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5z2d4yymeql) - made with the same encoding settings and does exactly the same thing, so this is reproducible. (You may want to turn the volume down before playing this, it's not corrected in this sample.)

And what resolution is your video in?

The video is 856x480, yeah. Could that have anything to do with it? The retail ones are 640 x 320, which isn't power-of-two either. Would FS only accept 2:1 aspect ratios? That would suck... Having to crop it all...

Anyway, pic attached.

From what I know it has nothing to do with a power of 2, since its only a video...
to what format did you encode the video before converting to OGG? (ogg is only a container format)

At this point, I would recommend trying to use first a standard resolution (Like 800x600, for example), and if that doesn't work, use the retail res. And yeah, ogg theora is necessary.

Okay, can you say that again so that normal people can understand it?

Had a bit of a poke around, video dimensions need to be a multiple of 16 (or FSO needs fixing to take padding by the libs into account :nervous:).

ok guys this sucks, this means no widescreen video as cutscenes... this is especially bad since im rendering an intro for ED at a native 16:9 widescreen rez of 1024x576... any chance someone will fix this??

*ahem* forget what I just said :D
