General :: App That Previews Video Files?
Jul 6, 2010
Is anyone aware of an app that previews video files, i.e. by showing thumbnails, with or without an embedded player?
Running KDE4, the preview setting in Dolphin is very, very slow to render usable icons (even on my reasonably fast / beefy system) and I'm wondering if there isn't something better than the preview modes of file managers in general.
I STFW already and couldn't find anything - there are plenty of picture viewers and plenty of video players, but I couldn't find any video previewers. The closest thing seems to be mplayerthumbs, but if I'm not mistaken, that's just the preview mode built in to Dolphin.

Gwenview has no thumbnail previews for videos (any type). I can play videos but its the previews I want so that I can open multiple clips into Openshot.
I have Ubuntu Natty 11.04 and I tried installing Kde multimedia and Kde-resources but to no avail.

Just wondering why Kubuntu 10.10 has a file manager that by default doesn't show the previews of video files? Or did I do something wrong during the install? Does extra software need to be installed to view video files as thumbnails in Dolphin? Or, am I doing something wrong and everyone else who uses Dolphin after installing Kubuntu gets thumbnail previews of their video files? See the attached picture showing a preview of a graphics file. Maybe I'm expecting too much because Nautilus (in Ubuntu), Thunar (in Xubuntu) and Windows Explorer (Win XP/Vista/7) all show thumbnail previews of video files by default.

I am using openSUSE 10.3.I play my video files using mplayer which I installed from tarball & necessary codecs.I can play my video files from command line nicely.Only one problem there are no thumbnail of any video file.Does anybody which software should I install so that thumbnail appear for video file in my nautilus file browser.The default player for GNOME desktop environment is totem which require internet connection to play file while my computer has no internet connection that is why I don't do anything with totem as it always says particular codec needed to play any audio or video file.

I've created some time-lapse videos from photos, using this command: ffmpeg -i IMG_%03d.JPG -s 1440x1080 -sameq video.MP4
And it worked great. Now I want to join several of these time-lapse videos to make a single, longer video (all the input videos have the exactly same format). I already tried using: cat video1.MP4 video2.MP4 > stitch.MP4
but the output ends up being equal to video1.MP4, I don't want to transcode nor changing any parameter of the video, I just want a end-to-end stitching, as if those videos were on a playlist.

A friend of mine put up a bunch of mkv files on a public server, how can i download them all with one wget command?
I have tried
wget -r [path]
which simply grabs the index file, robots.txt and skips the mkvs. I also tried
wget -r -A.mkv
If i try getting a individual file directly it works fine, what am i doing wrong here?

Have got a film broken up into 10 minute chunks a la ...... Tried cat file1.flv file2.flv > file1&2.flv but mplayer stopped, saying 'end of file', half way through playing file1&2.flv.
Is there some way to join them together into one, so the film may be played all the way through.
Just occurred to me you could use an * for the counting numeral in the filename e.g. mplayer file*.flv for file1.flv, file2.flv, etc..

In Nautilus->Edit->Preferences->Preview everything is set to Always and the size for previews is set to any files under 100Mb of size.
Still I can't see any previews. I am trying to look at the icons inside usrshareicons but all I get is a little icon that looks like piece of paper with an analog clock on it.I gotta see the images without having to open image viewer every time.

How can I join the two parts of a stereoscopic movie to get a side-by-side one?
I can expand the left file, that way all I'll need is to paste the second one on top of it, with something like this:
mencoder left-file.mkv -o side-by-side.avi -oac copy -ovc lavc -of avi -vf scale=1280:720,expand=-1280:0:0:0 -sws 3 -lavcopts vbitrate=16000
Any idea which tool should I use on a Linux system?

I am using debian 6.0.0 The video files are played by default in totem.I like gmplayer. Also I want to make script for intelligently guessing as follows Get all the names of file in <folder-containing-video>. See which of them (among *.srt.*.sub.*.ssa) has maximum number of characters matching with video name. That file will be parameter for sub option .
I saw a desktop entry for gvim which is like gvim -f %F -f means foreground I can try
gmplayer -vo xv -sub what-should-I-write-here %F

Show previews is checked. compiz settings: KDE Compatibility and Plasma thumbnails are checked output when running in window:

Edit: In all the threads about it, the selection Extras>Window Previews wasn't required. Selecting this under compiz-settings-manager worked for me.

when I freshly installed 10.10 on release date my AVI files were showing thumbnail previews fine as I had pretty much every AVI with a thumbnail to it.
Got some more AVI files today and now they are all just a blank icon (the standard film strip one). Anyone know a way I can fix this?

Today encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.
Code:
example
ls
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 280M 2010-12-07 20:23 irn2-cd1.mkv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:09 last-50M-cd2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:44 first-50M-cd1
file *
first-50M-cd1: Matroska data
last-50M-cd2: data
irn2-cd1.mkv: Matroska data

NOTE! To use previews you need to activate KDE Compability in compiz settings manager and under KDE Compability check "Support Plasma Thumbnails". (Alternatively you can use kwin as window manager instead of compiz. That will give you previews for minimized windows as well.)
How is this done? I have CompizConfig Settings Manager and I can't find kde anywhere.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (gnome)

My question is, why can't Xorg show live previews of minimized X clients? Mac OS X is the only OS that can, and I have no good idea why.

I few weeks ago DockbarX upgraded tyo 0.43, and since then it hasn't worked at all; not just no window previews, but no icons for open applications - absolutely nothing. This also applies when there's an applet in a panel, not just AWN. I've been through the forums, tried going into Compiz Settings and unchecking, then rechecking KDE Compatibility etc, but it does nothing. Edot - installed awn-applet-dockbarx and gnome-dockbarx-applet from Synaptic but it doesn't help.

What would be a nice, simple command to go through all files in a directory (no sub-directories), and change all the MP4 Video files I have to MP3 audio files (keeping the original filenames except for changing the "mp4" extension to "mp3")?
The files in question were videos taken with one of those Flip cameras, but I only need the audio off of it.

This is my first time creating a video DVD from other video files. I drag and dropped 2 .flv files to the area where it tells you to drag them. They appeared there. Then I clicked "Burn..." and brasero disappeared.
I ran it in terminal and this is what I got:

I'm looking for a Linux tool that allows me to transcode videos to a video codec that is highly compatible to the Windows platform. We produce large scientific videos from measurements and would like to show those videos during presentations and submit the videos to journals. We want to be as compatible as possible (we can not influence for example the codes installed on the presentation system or on the journal reviewers system).
Virtualdub suggests one of these codecs:
* Radius Cinepak
* Intel Indeo R3.2
* Microsoft Video 1
We tried ffmpeg, mencoder and Virtualdub under wine, none of those tools could produce videos encoded with the aforementioned codecs.

I installed Debian recently, and everything seems to be working fine, except some video games are unusually slow compared to what they would normally be. Tremulous, for example, worked reasonably fine on this computer with Windows XP, but now (Debian) for some reason it's laggy even on the title screen.
Something wrong with my video drivers?
All of the information I know:
The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000
RAM: 256mb? Gnome System Monitor says 247.1mb, SWAP: about 730mb
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.40GHz
HD: 25gb out of a 40gb HD free, and an external 1tb HD with about 920gb free
Debian Release 6.0 (squeeze)
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-5-686
GNOME 2.30.2 (I've tried LXDE also, no noticeable change)
Only linux on the machine.
glxinfo told me this:
Code:
64 GLX Visuals
128 GLXFBConfigs:

When hovering the mouse over a jpeg in dolphin I expect a thumbnail to pop-up. This works for png files but not jpg. JPEG images are enabled in previews and files above 5MB are enabled.
