mimictools 1.0.1 and mimicdecoder 1.0.1.1

[Kreuger]

Does anyone still use this? I tried recently to install the debs. After installing the libmimic one, I went ahead to install mimic tools but it said Im missing libmimic 

[alexandernst]

Maybe you should install libmimic-dev?  (I'm not sure though, just suggesting) I never used this tool

[Kreuger]

I havent come across any reference to libmimic-dev anywhere

[alexandernst]

Ok, you're right. I just tried to install it and I failed. I 'll play around with this and make it pyqt4 compatible, rebuild it and post it here.

ps: But this should wait ~14days, because I have exams.

[Kreuger]

No worries, no rush. I don't really need it at the moment. Just wanted to play with it again.

Hi Kreuger,

I installed it some times ago, and I remember facing such troubles.

Assuming you're using Ubuntu, here're what packages I got installed on my Ubuntu. I can now use the app', even if it always fails with one particular .cam file.

• libmimic 1.0.4 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120931&package_id=131853 or http://sourceforge.net/projects/farsight/files/libmimic/libmimic-1.0.4/libmimic-1.0.4.tar.gz/download )
• libmimic 1.0.4-2 (from Ubuntu Universe)

'cause my mimic-tools, installed from the deb linked at the beginning of this topic, claims to depend on libmimic1.0.4.

I think my problem (and so yours) was that the official libmimic was 1.0.4-2 and the mimic-tools wanted a libmimic 1.0.4.
So I found an old 1.0.4 and it worked!

At least, I hope it could help you... Otherwise, sorry for the false hope!

Hi, I would like to convert some logs, but I'm using Amsn on Windows XP.

Can someone compile mimictools and the decoder to make it work on Windows?

I've tried nmake.exe and minigw but I'm not able to use them properly...

I think only person that is on windows is LePhilousophe (and I'm not sure about that). So, no, I'm sorry
But if I were you I'd ask in our irc channel. Maybe somebody can help.

I've looked for that nickname on the Members page of this forum, but without positive results. I'll try in IRC. Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to convert a .raw stream (made with mimicdecoder) to an .avi file (using transcode).

The --use_rgb option doesn't exist anymore, so I tried doing the command without it, like this:

Code:

transcode -x raw,null -y xvid,null -g 320x240 -i ./in.raw -o out-rgb.avi

The conversion takes place, the file is some MBs big (so it's not empty), but the resultant video is all green.
This is because transcode uses -V yuv420p as its default internal video format (if I get transcode -h correctly).

So I tried the other two options: yuv422p and rgb24.

With yuv422p I get the same result as with yuv420p.

With rgb24, the conversion doesn't work. This is what I get as error:

Code:

$ transcode -x raw,null -y xvid,null -V rgb24 -g 320x240 -i ./in.raw -o out-rgb.avi

The output file is 2KB big, of course without the video.

Any way to solve this problem?
