General :: Mass Editing Videos On Ubuntu?
Jun 3, 2010
i'm trying to add a watermark and a credits image to all of my old videos. i downloaded them off videos so they are all flv (h.264?). is there some software that will allow me do simple edits in batches? i know a little bit of python and tried looking at some of the library but they all seem like overkill (and way above my head). so is there a solution besides getting some software and going through all my videos and doing it manually?
they are all mostly the same length, but it would be nice to specify a relative position for my credits. e.g. show a static image for 10 seconds when the video is at 95%

I'm trying to find a program where I can edit some hd mkv files. I want to cut pieces of them out and put them together. I was using avidemux but when I went to save it again it said I needed the start point to be a keyframe. It allowed me to save it as an avi, but the color was distorted. I am fine with using avidemux if I can get around this keyframe problem.

I need a either a script or perl script that will allow me to mass rename files, folders, and sub folders. I need to replace special chars in the current file names with underscores. I was able to make this happen in a single directory, but not recursively.
Here is what does it in a single directory.
for file in *
do
mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9_.]/_/g')
done

I have a problem when trying to mount a memory card in my cell phone. I connect the phone with an USB cable, select mass storage as the phone prompts it, but no luck.
dmesg shows
Code:
[ 200.673190] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
[ 200.823377] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=1000
[ 200.823386] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[Code].....
Just to be sure I tried the same thing with FreeBSD, though I knew from past experiences what to expect from it. It just worked(tm) flawlessly, but I'd rather not keep FreeBSD just for the sake of one device I can't seem to get working with Linux. All I can guess it must either be a kernel bug that has persisted for far too long or a faulty udev rule.

* I am implementing mass storage device on a test board.
* It contains NAND flash.
* Using corresponding "udc driver" and "g_file_storage" I could make my test board enumerate as mass storage device on my Linux machine.
* my 16 MB pen drive (test board) is now ready for read/write.
But there are some Bad Blocks on the NAND.Hence copy is not complete. Although on Linux machine there is no error message. Now , what is there in a normal pen drive which manages the Bad Block or what am I missing so that such Bad Blocks are managed.
Here is the error I get on my test board :
mtdblock: erase of region [0x2c0000, 0x4000] on "Bon 2" failed
end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock2, sector 5664
Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock2, logical block 708
[code]....

How does the read & write request from a command prompt go to usb & retrieve the file ? When a read request is given , I/O manger sends the request to file system manager (FSM) and from FSM to mass storage device drivver and from there to mass storage , is this right in Linux ?

I've searched high and low, and can't figure this one out. I have a older Olympus Camera (2001 or so). When I plug in the USB connection, I get the following log output:
$ dmesg | grep sd
[20047.625076] sd 21:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0
[20047.627922] sd 21:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk
Secondly, the drive is not mounted in the FS, but when I run gphoto2 I get the following error:
$ gphoto2 --list-config
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
*** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') ***
What command will unmount the drive. For example in Nautilus, I can right click and select "Safely Remove Device". After doing that, the /dev/sg7 and /dev/sdg devices are removed.
The output of gphoto2 is then:
# gphoto2 --list-config
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/resolution
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/shutter
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/aperture
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/color
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/flash
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/whitebalance
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/focus-mode
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/focus-pos
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/exp
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/exp-meter
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/zoom
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/dzoom
/Camera Configuration/Picture Settings/iso
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/date-time
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/lcd-mode

/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/lcd-auto-shutoff
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/camera-power-save
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/host-power-save
/Camera Configuration/Camera Settings/timefmt
Some things I've tried already are sdparm and sg3_utils, however I am unfamiliar with them, so it's possible I just didn't find the right command.
# mount | grep sdg
# mount | grep sg7
# umount /dev/sg7
umount: /dev/sg7: not mounted
# umount /dev/sdg
umount: /dev/sdg: not mounted
# gphoto2 --list-config
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
*** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') ***

I have a fedora 14 system. I booted a suse installation that existed on an external harddisk and wanted to access my original fedora user home directory using non-root preveliges(so that i can use the gui file manager), so I searched on the internet and made a command to (chown -R mysuseUser:Users *) thinking that it will only affect the current mount permissions (not permenantly) put it did change the file system... i realized and cut it in the middle but some corruption was done. and then my fedora gui login screen was missing any username. tried to fix that by going to my fedora and executing chown (once using --from , and once without --from) and changed all root file system recursively to be owned by root and then changed my /home/myuserName ownerships all recursively to be owned by myUserName after that... still the system is corrupted..... when i login to genome i have several crash messages (gdiskutility is one of them) and networking is disabled (i cannot connect to neither wireless nor wired nor wireless broadband). also when i plug USB/esata harddisks nothing happens
now i can only do work from my external harddisk`s suse linux. what can i do to restore my system ? I have a previous dd image of my entire harddrive, but it is more than one month old and also I don`t want to do a restore to my entire harddrive.. can i clone some ownerships from files in dd image to their corresponding ones in my fedora system ? if so, how can i even mount a dd image ?

I would like to download a few (591)images from the Galaxy S phone. Samsung have advised me that to do that I need to place the Galaxy S phone on Mass storage, whivch I can do and plug the phone USB cable to the PC and manually mount the USB. The Galaxy S firmware 2.1-update1 doesn't support automatic mounting! The Galaxy S has an Android platform Kernel version 2.6.29 with root @SE-S604 #2. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ with 1G of ram. It's the manual mounting of the USB connection

I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the
Code:
i915.modeset=1
and added it to /etc/default/grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, just after "quite splash", just

In the process of trying to make Ubunti authenticate with AD2008, I followed some instructions and edited files as follows:
# /etc/pam.d/common-account
account sufficient pam_winbind.so
account required pam_unix.so
# /etc/pam.d/common-auth
[Code]....
After doing this I can no longer log in, it just hangs on the brown screen after logging in... it also asks me for my password twice before authenticating?

think of this directory as the current structure..
Quote:
|-- test
| `-- test1
`-- test.tar
test.tar is a compressed tar of /test/ (cvfz), now... I need to add another file called test2 to test.tar, WITHIN the test directory in the tar. Is this possible?

I have a load of XViD videos and I want to re-encode them into x264 - when I say a load, I mean over 300, anyone have any programs they reccomend to do it?I want to make them into those "future-sized movies" (700mb --> 300mb, 170mb --> 95mb, 350mb --> 150mb), what settings should I use? I want to keep the quality of the originals intact, along with the video sizes if possible, but if not, I don't really mind, just make them smaller. Here are the settings some people use in windows:oh yeah, one last thing - fast encoders please, I know it'll take a good while, but I want it to take as little time as possible please

Linux cares about case sensitivity. This is a problem when some picture upload services accept .jpg while my camera uploaded the thousands of pictures I have as .JPG.
I can handle this task fine PER DIRECTORY. The problem is, I still have a ton of directories. Is there a way I can select - Pictures - Mass rename EVERYTHING inside and everything inside all sub directories from JPG to jpg?
Basically I want to take the existing command:
rename 's/.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG
a step further.

I've got a bunch of wmv files that I'd like to re-encode to avi - about 50 of them. Is there a straightforward GUI application that does the same thing as Sound Converter does with audio files? As in, add a folder full of files, select the output format and output filename/folder, click "convert", and come back a few hours later.
Yes I know I can convert video files with mencoder and ffmpeg, but doing it file by file at the command line means I can't leave it running overnight or something.
I found something called Arista but the only output options are designed for specific hardware, ie. iPods and PSPs. I just want to convert the wmv's to avi's, not mess around with resolution etc. Also, with Arista you still need to add the files one at a time.

I recently backed up my home folder onto another HD. When I tried to transfer the files from the other HD back to the original HD after a fresh ubuntu install I noticed all my files were restricted to root access. Even after moving the files back via root access I can still only access them that way. Is there a way to mass change the permissions to all the files and folders within my original home folder?

Here's what is going on; I'll open any file in vim to edit, and then when I'm finished and I enter ":wq", instead of saving the file I was editing, vim creates another by the same name with a tilde.

I have samsung laptop and there is a nasty program called samsung recovery solution that changes the active partition to Windows each time you enter it. The trouble is: I have 2 OSes, Opensuse and Windows 7, and Grub that is installed in my Extended partition, so each time I enter this recovery program active flag is changed and Windows is loaded instead of grub. I have noticed some boot files in that program's folder, so the question is how can I edit them in most convenient manner? I have kde 4.5.3 is there some sort of included program that would help?

I am just entering the Linux world. All these years I wanted to test Linux but did not have the resources to make a new computer. Then I found Puppy Linux by chance. Nearly all the work I do with Windows 7/XP can be done with Puppy Linux. I am running it from a CD. I developed a smartfont for an Indic language called Sinhala, which uses ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1, SBCS) character set.It makes typing Sinhala, one of the more complex of Indic scripts, easy.
Essentially, this is a transliteration of the 'complex' script into Latin character set and then showing it back in the native script by way of the smartfont. See it here: [URL] Of course, you have no clue what it says. If you copy the text and look, you'll understand what is going on. You can type it with the dead-key keyboard. Only problem is that in certain situations, the font makes conjoint letters where you don't want them. You can prevent it by inserting the ZWNJ, Zero-width non-joiner (u200C), but the keyboard does not have it. Is there a way to edit the keyboard layout and make a modified key layout?

Under any of Firefox or Seamonkey web browsers, if I type the URL about:plugins, a list of the installed (I assume they mean "installed in my machine") plugins appears. How do you do if you want to edit that list. Say, to disable a mime type or just delete it from the list?

I have a removable SATA Mobilerack which i use to play with.It has redhat linux loaded on a 500GB disk and i made a new partition using fdisk and then made an ext3 filesystem with mkfs. I then tried to edit fstab to add the new partition but have obviously stuffed it up. When I tried to reboot I get the error fsck ext3: UNABLE TO RESOLVE `LABEL=/mnt'.

I just discovered that inserting any USB drive causes an immediate hang of the system. The keyboard caps lock and scroll lock lights blink. Only recourse is to power cycle the system. This is after installing Kubuntu 9.10 in January, I don't believe I had occasion to insert a USB drive until tonight. 100% reliable. No entries in logs, presumably because it hangs the kernel when it happens. The /var/log/kern.log file has been corrupted due to file system damage (1+ sectors of some other file inserted into chain) and probably other files as well.
I've not had occasion to report other bugs, but I've found no way to report anything other than application bugs. I tried using "ubuntu-bug kernel" which helpfully said there was no such application as 'kernel' and has been busy "collecting problem information" for the last half hour or more. Somehow I don't think its ever going to finish.
The crash only happens when booted into Kubuntu 9.10. If I boot off of 9.04 then USB drives work fine. Both USB drives I've tried reliably produce the crash. One is a random cheap USB thumb drive (imprinted "Cisco"), the other is a 16GB Corsair Voyager.

I have a folder with various subfolders of files. These files all have two extra characters on the end that I want to get rid of. How would I go about telling the terminal to go into X directory and every subdirectory of X directory, look for all files with the extra characters, remove them, and keep everything else the same?

I was trying to send a 4000+ mass email with Thunderbird, when it popped up an error saying that such and such email was no longer a customer and halted the program. Is there a plugin for Tbird that deletes these "bad" email addresses out of the Bcc line when sending? It would take a long time to go through the emails deleting customers that no longer have email addresses.
This was also done using outlook and the error did not happen.
