Hi

Forking from another thread, I am unable to run ELAN on suse 11.3. When I try to open a file, it just hangs at the initialising stages.


Here are some outputs:

Looking at the log, it could be to do with the file format. The file I'm trying to load is a .wav extracted from a .wmv using ffmeg. Ideally I would analyse the video file itself but I know ELAN doesn't support wmv so I extracted the audio as a first stage to try ELAN out with.

Hi Caroline, you write:

"Looking at the log, it could be to do with the file format."

The log says so, but it seems to be about a simple uncompressed WAV so it is odd that there are problems opening that. You could try mplayer -identify on the WAV file.

"The file I'm trying to load is a .wav extracted from a .wmv using ffmpeg."

Which command did you use?

"Ideally I would analyse the video file itself but I know ELAN doesn't support wmv"

ELAN should support any format which is supported by the used media framework. With the ffmpeg-based FOBS (Linux) and with Windows Media Player (Windows) you should have no problems with WMV. Of course on MacOS with QuickTime, there might be a problem. Older versions of ffmpeg had problems with newer WMV variants but I would say things work most of the time now. You can also try by testing whether the WMV plays okay with mplayer, videolan VLC player or ffmpeg, given that they use ffmpeg for many (but certainly not all) formats.

Eric

PS: If you only have a WMV but no WAV, ELAN will not display the waveform. If ELAN does display the waveform of a WAV, you can be almost certain that the WAV is uncompressed and linear and should play on all media frameworks on all operating systems where ELAN works.

Hi

I used ffmpeg -i file.wmv file.wav. To complicate things, I have ELAN 3.7 on my 32 bit Lucid Lynx laptop and that can open the wav file, so it's not a problem with the wav per se. For some reason the laptop is refusing to open the wmv even though movieplayer will, but that's by the by, because it's my 64 bit work computer that I need to get working.

Here's the output of mplayer -i file.wav

Hi, comparing to Ubuntu, I get the impression that "not supporting formats" for formats with expected support can just mean "no formats supported at all" which would in turn mean "some library is missing". For Ubuntu Lucid, yet another user had this problem yesterday and it got solved by installing one single library: libstdc++5 (from lucid-backports, in universe, see also packages.ubuntu.com)... Not sure what is still missing on SuSE, though. Are you sure all libraries are there and with 32 bit support?

Eric
