03:13 < pabs3> <pixelbot> pixelgeek ... Had A Error In Setting Mask For Ident
03:17 < pixelgeek> yes, I've noticed that.  It seems to be trying to log me in before I actually arrive
03:18 < pixelgeek> Need a 'wait 3 seconds and then send this string option'
03:18 < pixelgeek> How's Linux conf?
03:20 < pabs3> pretty good so far
03:20 < pabs3> needs moar beer though
03:20 < pabs3> huge amount of talks though
03:21 < pixelgeek> Moar beer over here!!!  
03:21 < pixelgeek> pixelbot: sudo make me a drink for pabs
03:21 < pixelbot> Coming right up!
03:21 < pabs3> :D
03:21 < pixelgeek> Anything interesting in the talks?  
03:21 < pixelbot> is better than nothing
03:22 < pixelgeek> (Oh dear - pixelbot's going senile again)

03:35 < pabs3> heh
03:36 < pabs3> ipv6 stuff was kinda interesting
04:13 < AkhIL> http://akhilman.googlepages.com/spill.zip
04:13 < AkhIL> this is example
04:14 < AkhIL> if you know how to make spill effect beter pleas say me
04:14 < AkhIL> in this example only with two objects hierarchy comes mess
04:15 < AkhIL> moreover adding more objects to exported canvas not very friendly
04:16 < AkhIL> and with a lot of HDRI bitmaps synfig will eat a lot of memory
04:40 < pixelgeek> Ah
04:40 < pixelgeek> Oh - sad news.
04:42 < pixelgeek> Won't mean much to anyone else here but me and dooglus, I suspect, but Tony Hart died yesterday.  :(
04:44 < pixelgeek> Anyone growing up in the UK in the 70's and 80's will have been inspired with his love of art (and the introduction of Morph a claymation character)

06:52 < VotGs> Can someone help a very new and not very skilled person with what might be a silly question?  I'm having issues rendering.
06:52 < pixelgeek> I was heading to bed, but I may be able to help with a quick question.
06:52 < pixelgeek> What are you trying to do?
06:53 < VotGs> This might be quick.  I've got the prebuilt Windows version, an I've made an animation, and I'm trying to render it to mpg
06:53 < pixelgeek> Ah - you need ffmpeg?
06:53 < VotGs> I have ffmpeg, I just don't know how to....um...connect the two?
06:53 < pixelgeek> make sure that ffmpeg.exe is in a directory that's in your path
06:54 < VotGs> As in the folder to which I'm sending the rendered file?
06:54 < pixelgeek> no
06:55 < pixelgeek> The PATH is the list of directories that Windows looks through to find where you executables are.
06:55 < pixelgeek> If you go to a DOS prompt and type PATH
06:55 < VotGs> Okay--
06:55 < pixelgeek> it will show the list for you./
06:56 < VotGs> Okay, I've got a list.  There's several different paths--which one should I note down?
06:56 < pixelgeek> mine says 
06:56 < pixelgeek> C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>path
06:57 < pixelgeek> PATH=C:\GTK\bin;c:\program files\imagemagick-6.4.2-q16;c:\Program Files\Synfig\b
06:57 < pixelgeek> in;C:\Program Files\ImageMagick;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System
06:57 < pixelgeek> 32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\Program Files\ATI
06:57 < pixelgeek>  Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin
06:58 < VotGs> Okay, I don't have one for Synfig, but I do have one for GTK
06:58 < pixelgeek> As long as FFMpeg.exe is in one of those dirs windows should be able to find it.
06:58 < pixelgeek> That'll work.
06:58 < VotGs> Sweet!  Let me go test this out.
06:58 -!- pabs3 [n=pabs@169.222.9.155] has quit [Read error: 113 (No route to host)]
06:58 < VotGs> Thank you so  much!
06:58 < pixelgeek> No worries - I''ll stick around for a bit to hear if it works
06:59 < VotGs> Okies....brb
07:00 < pixelgeek> (I actually have mine in my imagemagick dir - for no better reason than they're both image manipulation programs and installed ImageMagick first.  Ideally you'd add whateve dir ffmpeg.exe is in to your path, but....)
07:02 < VotGs> Darn, no mpg.  I got an error that says 'unknown input or output format:  image2pipe'
07:02 < pixelgeek> Huh
07:03 < pixelgeek> what version of ffmpeg are you using?
07:04 < pixelgeek> Go to a DOS prompt and type ffmpeg
07:04 < VotGs> ffmpeg-15815
07:05 < pixelgeek> Hmmm....   I'm using 13712
07:05 < pixelgeek> You have a link for the one you downloaded?
07:05 < VotGs> I don't, off hand.
07:06 < AkhIL> much simpler will be render image sequence and then convert it to any movie format
07:06 < VotGs> Okay, I know I can render to png
07:07 < VotGs> And I know this is a synfig chat room, but how do I convert it after that?
07:07 < pixelgeek> You could use ffmpeg standalone....
07:07 < pixelgeek> :)
07:08 < AkhIL> ffmpeg -r 25 -i image%04d.png [some output options] movie.mov
07:08 < pixelgeek> (It's the swiss army knife of movie file conversions)
07:08 < AkhIL> or you can use avidemux
07:08 < VotGs> Avidemux?
07:08 < AkhIL> ouch
07:08 < AkhIL> virtualdub
07:08 < VotGs> I am a daughter of the Windows generation; command lines scare me.  :-P
07:09 < pixelgeek> AkhIL's suggestion will give the best results
07:10 < pixelgeek> By default Synfig's ffmpeg target renders to mpeg1 video, not the higher quality mpeg2.
07:10 < VotGs> Ohhh....
07:10 < pixelgeek> Ummm - shot in the dark, but have you evr used Blender?
07:11 < VotGs> Nope.  I'm a brand-new baby.
07:11 < pixelgeek> Awwww...   ;)
07:11 < pixelgeek> Blender can import a series of images and export them as a movie.
07:11 < VotGs> Well,  I'm going to go play around with the options you all have given me; I'll come back if I can't absolutely figure something out.  Thanks so much!  :-D

07:12 < VotGs> *adds Blender to her list*
07:12 < pixelgeek> Try virtual dub - it's pretty simple
07:12 < pixelgeek> and doesn't involve a cmd line
07:12 < VotGs> Okies.  Thanks!
07:12 < pixelgeek> And come back and visit soon!
07:12 < pixelgeek> 'night all
07:12 < VotGs> Will do. :-D
