I've mostly mp4/flv media files,i need to convert them to mp3 to put in my mp3 player but at the same time i like to adjust the mp3 bitrate to save space and maintain quality sometimes. How do i actually do that in Linux. Is there any GUI program that performs the job for me quickly ?
View 14 RepliesI've seen posts with similar titles on these forums, but I know nothing about the plethora of codes out there and all those thread seem to be way over my head. I've installed ffmpeg (an unrestricted version) but I can't convert m4a audio files to mp3 audio files. I installed a package called 'libavcodec52' from synaptic because it came up in the search results for 'm4a' and its description said something about m4a and ffmpeg but still no luck..
View 9 Replies View Relatedim setting up an external hard drive for movies and music to connect to my ps3. the majority of the movies work just fine (they are in mpeg format). but over half of them are HD and take up somewhere in the range of 5 to 8 gigs. since ps3 only supports fat32 externally i can only have file sizes up to 4 gigs. so i need to split the oversized videos into two parts, but i dont know how to do that. ive tried using avidemux (which is a pretty cool program and actually taught me alot) but i cant seem to get a correct format that will work with the ps3. playstations website listed several formats the ps3 is supposed to recognize but none seamed to work for me (maybe i did it wrong though).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI couldn't really decide where this should be posted, but this is the most general of the forums. Anyway, I've been playing a wargame on intruded.net in which some of the challenges require me to pass hexvalues into the programs as character values. All is well with this, and usually I would use the shell to pass it in, but most of these programs use the gets() method to get my input.
Here comes the problem... The other day I was using my desktop which runs slackware 64 13.1 to do these challenges. My method was to use "echo -e 'xefxbexadxde'" to print them to the shell's standard output and then highlight and copy the resulting values to paste to the program. This works just fine on slackware, but when I repeated the same processes on Ubuntu 64 10.04 (which runs on my laptop) the 'xde' always turns up to be 'x00'. Then I tried some other levels with similar responses, not all the hex values convert to the correct ASCII characters.
I understand that .tar.gz and .tgz are equivalent to each other.
I did some checking as alway online. I am however stuck how to you make files with a tar.gz extenstion become .tgz. In the case of it being a compressed file is there a right and wrong way of doing this.
it seems that I always encounter things slightly off the beaten path, against my less then optimal knowledge of the man pages.

With all the recent claims of executive authority in the name of cyber security and govt eavesdropping I am interested in finding a more secure op sys. Windows is to vulnerable. I have an HP7845 Sound Blaster 64 Sound card. Radeon 9800 video card. I have a large volume of videos and media/research reports I cant afford to lose. How easy is the conversion? And also concerned with software. Will programs work the same or at all?Is my equipment even compatible with other opsystems. Is there a risk of glitches that would curtail my efforts after attempting the change. I KNOW NOTHING about other systems hell I can barely run XP. However I would hate to lose files or go through a months long debugging venture.

I've been looking for a way to run windows-only vst plugins nativley on linux as well as to find a linux driver for my 1394 audio interface with little luck; I would like to do so without relying on wine, and have come across an idea to work out after stumbling on a utility that converts dll to lib (called dll2lib). The idea would be to convert the dll's for a proprietary fw audio dev and dependent MS libraries and manually change what's needed to make it compatible with linux env. is this possible; will I be able to achieve source code from this? if not, what is the primary point of converting a dll to lib in the first place.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a way to batch convert 720p video files from avc1 to xvid in Ubuntu 10.04. I'm not terribly concerned about file size, but I do wish to retain the picture quality as much as possible. I believe the audio is encoded as aac, which is fine for my purposes.
What would be the best and easiest way to do this? I've tried using Handbrake. During my first attempt, I had it using ffmpeg to convert to MPEG-4, but that just gave me a super-low quality video at twice the file size. Trying h.264 now, so we'll see how that works out. But just in case it doesn't pan out so well, what other ways do you recommend?
I was thinking I'd write a bash script to reencode the files one by one, but the problem is that I have very little knowledge about codecs and containers and whatnot - so I wouldn't know what parameters I would pass ffmpeg/mencoder.
I thought this question's best category would be in the newbie sectionBasically I have a C code, (for simplicity is only prints a few lines), called printx.c that I would like to convert into a binary file so whenever I have to type "printx" in the command line it would execute the programofcourse gcc will give me a binary file if I do a "gcc printx.c", but even the output file (e.g. print.outwould have to be executed following manner./print.outI only ask, because I notice programs like mailx (which is written in C) is a binary file that could be run in this manner (at least that's what I notice on my ubuntu distro)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm rather new to linux, and I have a dedi server. I know how to browse, install, remove etc, all the basics needed to use it. I've installed flvtool2, memcoder and ffmpeg, and at the moment im converting avi files in to flv. Im then passing metadata using yamdi.
However, this process is very timely as im converting loads of avi files at a time.Im looking for a script, or a way where I can execute one command/script and which will convert all files in the directory I specify, then run those converted files through yamdi.Im guessing it would be some sort of loop, and then changing for each file?

And I mean what the thread title is sayin', when new version of the distribution is released? But I don't think that it would be bad if they all would have some general promo video. I think of it as a nice way to promote your distro and I also think that that kind of promotion would attract more users. As an example, here's the link to Sabayon 5 promo video; [URL].
I find it to be very simple, short but at the same time great. And I like it very much. In my opinion, all that should be said, considering all the facts that is, was said in that video and in a very nice way. I think that there was no inner distro things in it for a reason, if you understand me. Anyhow, my vote goes for that kind of promotion, but sadly I have seen only few of that kind of videos on the net.
Whether I'm using mplayer, kaffeine, or vlc, I can't seem to play videos for some reason. For instance,
Code:
mark@debian:~/stuff/flashcrap/music$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
[00000271] main playlist: nothing to play
Above I tried to play an flv video that I had, which I used to have no problem with, but now it does not work. I use Debian Lenny.
When I was running Windows OS on my laptop I was able to buffer and pause movies I watch on Dvix. Now that I'm running Ubuntu, I cannot pause the movie anymore. Whenever I pause it, I have to watch the movie from the beginning. Also, I cannot let the movie buffer to completion.
