Gource video

[Jan Groenewald]

Hi

I am trying to create a new gource video.

From http://zomobo.net/www.sagemath.org :
The Sage library mercurial repository activity around 2010 * Every file is a dot, colored by file type * Directories are branches of the tree * www.sagemath.org Music from the album C-Sections by Matheatre * http * CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Visualized by gource * code.google.com ./gource \ --logo Sage-200x200-transparent.png \ --auto-skip-seconds 0.001 --max-files 0 \ --seconds-per-day 0.002 \ --hide filenames,mouse,progress \ --start-position 0.9 --stop-position 0.98 \ --time-scale 2 \ --camera-mode track \ -1920x1080 \ --font-size 30 \ --output-framerate 30 \ --date-format "%d %B %Y" \ sage-4.6.2/devel/sage/ \ -o - | ffmpeg -y -b 3000K -r 30 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - \ -vcodec libx264 -vpre placebo -threads 0 video.mp4

On Ubuntu that gives (removing the logo and using the ubuntu packaged gource)


0 jan@muizenberg:/srv/sysadm/sage/sage-5.3$gource \ --auto-skip-seconds 0.001 --max-files 0 \ --seconds-per-day 0.002 \ --hide filenames,mouse,progress \ --start-position 0.9 --stop-position 0.98 \ --time-scale 2 \ --camera-mode track \ -1920x1080 \ --font-size 30 \ --output-framerate 30 \ --date-format "%d %B %Y" \ sage-4.6.2/devel/sage/ \ -o - | ffmpeg -y -b 3000K -r 30 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - \ -vcodec libx264 -vpre placebo -threads 0 video.mp4
gource: log-format required when reading from STDIN

Apparantly that is a codec x264 problem, so I removed that, then had to add --log-format, and played aroudn until I get this:

0 jan@muizenberg:/srv/sysadm/sage$gource \ --auto-skip-seconds 0.001 --max-files 0 \ --seconds-per-day 0.002 \ --hide filenames,mouse,progress \ --start-position 0.9 --stop-position 0.98 \ --time-scale 2 \ --camera-mode track \ -1920x1080 \ --font-size 30 \ --output-framerate 30 \ --date-format "%d %B %Y" \ sage-5.3/devel/sage-main/ --log-format hg \ -o -

gource: unsupported log format (you may need to regenerate your log file)
Try 'gource --help' for more information.

1 jan@muizenberg:/srv/sysadm/sage$


Any idea?

Regards,
Jan
