General :: Process Is Very Timely As Converting Loads Of Avi Files At A Time
Oct 12, 2010
I'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?

I want to limit the time a grep process command is allowed to run or be alive.For example. I want to perform the following:grep -qsRw -m1 "parameter" /varBut before running the grep command I want to limit how long the grep process is to live, say no longer than 30 seconds.How do I do this?And if it can, how do I return or reset to have no time limit afterwards.

Possibly related to this previous question, I would like to be able to run a task for a specified amount of time, then stop/kill it, then start it again. Specifically, I run the Folding@Home application on my Linux workstation. Periodically, it will have trouble logging-in to the home server, and will sit idle for a long time, but not release memory/resources it has claimed (yes, I realize this is likely a bug in the tool, but I can't fix that currently). Typically just the act of killing and starting the tool will allow it to check-in again. So, I would like to be able to run something like:
run_for <time> ./fah6
Does such a tool exist, or should I write a wrapper than nukes the fah6 client after, say, a week and restart it?

I'm converting a movie that is .mkv to .avi and it's taking a long time. I'm using a command. Could it be that it's a movie and it's a 720p movie?

I am currently struggling with one of my tasks.I was asked to find a way how to determine how much time an _already running_ process is spending in user and kernel space.E.G. <some tool> <pid>[Control] + [c]<pid> spent 12.1 seconds in user and 1.52 seconds in kernel space.Does something like this exist? Basically I guess I am looking for something similar to time, except that the process is already running.So..a) Is there a tool which fulfills this task?b) Is there a way to write your own software which does the job? Is it even possible to code something I am looking for?I recently found strace -c -p <pid>, but well, this is not exactly what I was looking for.

I have log files that everyday are downloaded from my webserver in the format: Code: samplesite.com.xxxxxxxxxxx.gz xxxxxxxxxx is a 10 digit epoch time. I am trying to figure out a way in batch to:
1. find all of exisiting files containing the pattern (after the first run it will only be one a day)
2. Isolate the epoch string
3. convert the epoch string to human readable date/time
4. rename the original file as samplesite.com.mmddYYYY.gz

i need a command line application for converting .pptx (PowerPoint 2007) Files into .ppt (PP 2000/2003/XP)Files.
Is there any tool existing or is it even possible to do the convert via openoffice?
The only requirement is, to do that via command line or a script which can be executed from the command line.

I have heard that tclient v2 is much better than the one that comes with ubuntu or even remmina and have found a rpm package for it.
I search and found I should use alien to convert to a deb so I can install; I am getting the following error :-
sudo alien -k tsclient-2.0.2-1.fc11.src.rpm
error: incorrect format: unknown tag
mkdir: cannot create directory `tsclient-2.0.2': File exists
nable to mkdir tsclient-2.0.2: at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
I am running alien from the directory where the .rpm file is and while the extraction is done the creation of a deb file is not.

I copied some songs off a CD and wanted to convert them to mp3. Is there a program that I should have used to rip them that would have done that or is there a program that will convert them for me?

Is there a way (strictly in Ubuntu -- well I am viewing the noteworthy files under wine) to convert these files to lilypond format? I have tried the nwc2ly converter, but so far without any success. Any thoughts, or suggestions? You see I have a friend that has done a lot of Orthodox Music in NWC, but I want to get it into Lilypond as it will look better, and then I can easily convert to pdf, and easily change things if needed, etc. But I would rather not have to print and retype it all.

I have some random files in a folder. I want to rename all of the files in a batch process. I have a text file that contains the Currentname of all the files in the folder, as well as a text file with all of the Newname of files in the folder. I want to replace Currentnames with Newnames.
For example, here are the names of the files in the folder:
1.mp4
2.mp4
3.mp4
I have a text file with the Currentname of all the files in the folder:
1.mp4
2.mp4
3.mp4
I have a text file with the proper Newname of the file:
a.mp4
b.mp4
c.mp4
I want to rename Currentname with Newname in the folder. So when I go to the folder the Newname of the files are:
a.mp4
b.mp4
c.mp4

What's the accepted method for converting Mythtv's nuv files to avi files now?
I ask this because nuvexport seems to be unsupported these days. The last released version removed support for using transcode to convert the files. This leaves only mencoder and ffmpeg, and these have the following problems:
1) mencoder is much, much too slow. It takes about five times as long to convert a file as transcode ever did.
2) Ubuntu's ffmpeg is crippled, and doesn't work. I realise that there are instructions for installing a version of ffmpeg that works, but as this does not provide any method for creating Debian packages of it, I do not wish to pollute my filesystem with a mish-mash of manually installed software.
Is there any way to convert nuv files with transcode?

I am looking for a nice and simple GUI app that can handle multiple audio formats and convert between them, something like Xrecode in windoze. Maybe by any chances you know about such alternative or similar application
If no such application exist, then i would like to find some solution for easy conversion for these scenarios:
Mainly i keep my music collection in flac format, so i mostly care for conversion from other formats to flac.

I've been a Linux user for 5 years, though this I only recently started using RPM based distros. I'm still in my first week using Fedora and I love it. Hats off to the development team. Now, onto my question:
I have a rather large collection of music in three different formats: MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I'd like to shrink my library by converting all the flac files to ogg. However, since I don't want to convert from lossy to lossy, I'm going to leave the mp3s alone. Is there a program that will allow me to do this quickly and easily? I'd prefer a GUI, though I'm comfortable working with the terminal if needed.

I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L.
1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic
2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.

I downloaded a couple of TTA files and they are just static on playback. Do I need a different codec or something? Converting the files to FLAC yielded the same results. I'm running a 10.04 64bit machine.

I'm tryin' to convert media files to other formats using winff.But nothing happens ! I mean a terminal window popping up and then nothing happens to the files , I tried many formats like (wmv,avi,flv,mp3,wma etc.) to others , and I have all prerequisites . I'm not sure
- ffmpeg (Multimedia player)
- Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin (Codecs to play formats)
- libmp3lame
- libmp3lame (DEV - I thought that this could be useful)
and this is an image off winFF on my desktop ,

I'm writing a C++ application and need to work with process substitution in the Bash shell. I'm trying to find a way to validate the paths passed as arguments to my program, some of which point to FIFO files created by process substitution.
Is there a shell (or C++) way that I can check if the system creates these files in /dev/fd or if they are created somewhere else?
