What is an easy way detect corrupt movie file during or before using ffmpeg to encode them? is there a command I can use to check if the file is not corrupt and then pipe it ffmpeg or standard input?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a script that will trawl through a directory structure looking for VOB files, convert them to AVI and place them in a ./converted/ sub-directory of the the original source folder. I've knocked up the script below which appears to work fine when I place an "echo" in front of the actual ffmpeg encode line, I get the output on the screen with ffmpeg finding all the VOB files in the directories and looking to convert them to the correct sub-directory. Yet, when I remove the echo and run the script for real, ffmpeg converts the first file and then stops. No errors. Is this something to do with ffmpeg or a problem with my script below?
Code:
#!/bin/bash

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 after using 10.04. While using 10.04 I used ffmpeg quite a bit and just a few days ago I was using ffmpeg to encode video with the h263p codec.Anyway, for some reason ffmpeg no longer seems to want to decode h263p anymore. If I type "ffmpeg -codecs" to get a codec list, I get" EV h263p H.263+ / H.263-1998 / H.263 version 2"When it used to be "DEV" for decode / encode video. But now just " EV"Even on the ffmpeg website here http://ffmpeg.org/general.html#SEC3 it says ffmpeg should still be able to decode h263p. Yet, it can't!I've tried installing all sorts of codec libraries and I even followed a guide to download and compile ffmpeg myself. Nothing seems to change.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot windows xp/ubuntu64 9.04 rig at home. Ubuntu is installed alongside windows(if i worded that correctly?). well last night i got the infamous error #15. so i popped in the live cd and messed around with grub. well i changed grubs boot to point to h0,5 which is where ubuntu resides and as you can guess i can not boot. i want to change it back to h0,0 or h0,1 however the hard drive is undetected.
I tried windows repair console but same thing cannot detect the drive. I pulled the drive out slipped it in my other machine and still same thing. so my question is how can i go about editing the grub menu.lst if i can't mount the drive?
Maybe i can just install a new grub/mbr? but i cant figure out hot to mount the drive.

Recently I tried to convert a .flv file to an mpeg file using ffmpeg. Although I changed directory to the directory in which the.flv file resided FFMPEG said the file did not exist. However when I gave the "ls" command the file was present. Where is my mistake?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire One running NBR 9.10. A few days ago it "went wonky", wouldn't boot and would just seem to start and then shut off before getting to the logon screen. I managed to boot from a USB stick and run check and fix in Gparted. It found a slew of errors in the file system. Unfortunately, it still won't boot, now it just hangs. I assume some of boot files were damaged.
Now I have two problems:
1. Is there a way to repair the damage? Or just wipe the disk and start over?
2. I need to get my e-mail off of the hard drive. I can mount the drive after booting from a USB stick, but the thunderbird directory is locked. Is there a way around this?
Yesterday, the file system of my mp3 player went corrupt. So I tried to format it to vfat, which in the past hasn't solved the problem and instead just made another corrupt partition. I have fixed it before by using dereks boot and nuke (dban) and filling it with only zeros so its ready to be repartitioned.
Now this time I tried to save some time by using dd instead of dban.
So I did dd if=/dev/zero of/dev/sdb
The process got interrupted by my system shutting down after about 15 min.
Now when I plug in my usb, it doesn't get recognized. It doesn't show up in gparted or fdisk. I looked at dmesg and all it gave was: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
On my backup drive I can no longer see any files. According to Testdisk program the master file table (MFT) is bad. How do I restore or rebuild the MFT?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got openSUSE 11.2 set up on my home server. The machine has two 2TB HDDs, the first (/dev/sda1) is partitioned thusly:
10GB /
1GB swap
1.82TB /home (/dev/md1 in RAID1 array)
[code]....
basically the situation I'm in is someone mistakenly expanded an NAS without unmounting the drive on the server. This corrupted the superblock and its apparent that all the backups are no good. The drive in question was expanded from about 800gigs to 1.8TBs, its done via an NAS.
At this point I'm most concerned about getting the files off the drive, I can deal with resetting the file system but I really need those files. This happened within a week of me joining this group so I'm kind of doing damage control here, backups were not taken of this particular drive.
I created a pendrive USB Fedora OS, worked fine. Installed a few bits and pieces, but when I used it again most of the files have disappeared (corrupt, deleted?). This happened before, just after I put a load of updates on. I am certain it cannot be rescued, but how can I prevent this (apart from backing up)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday afternoon, I was playing around with updating my system with RPMs from the openSUSE RPM Search. I had bash v 4.0.18 (I'm running a decaboot, the primary OS being openSUSE 11.2, where the issue is) and I installed a package that was bash 1.0.36. I restarted my Yakuake terminal to see the new bash. Immediately, I noticed the Yakuake terminal flashing rapidly, and the terminal wouldn't go down when I used the key that brings up and down, so I controlled-alt-escaped it and killed it off. Then I wondered if it was just me, so I hit ALT-F2 and logged in as root. It quickly said some symbol file (Something)_(Something)_REWRITE(maybe) then disappeared, giving my the login prompt. I though, well, OK maybe I have to restart it to get it to work. Init said "there is no more processes left on this runlevel" and I had to Power-Button it and reboot. When it rebooted, or tried to, I was greeted with "KERNEL-PANIC Tried to kill init"
I panicked with the kernel, and I went into my 11.3 Milestone 4 installation, tried to chroot it, but I received the same error as when I tried to log into root and was returned to my 11.3 session.
I later tried to do a mock update with the 11.2 DVD, and tried with the YaST package manager to downgrade BASH, but the RPM installation failed, even on good DVDs. I tried the rescue, but it said BASH wasn't a "critical file" while things I don't even use were checked (like openssh)
From 11.3, I tried linking sh from bash to ksh (Korne Shell). For all I know, it is just like bash. It didn't work. Same kernel error.
I relinked sh and bash together, and I am using SUSE 11.1 in the meantime, but does anybody know how to fix this without reinstalling my SUSE 11.2 completely.

First off I must state that I am basically completely foreign to linux. I have 2 hard drives, one with windows 7 and storage partitions, and the other with my linux partition, linux swap, and unpartitioned space.I initially partitioned my drives with Disk Management in Windows 7. I created an NTFS partition on sda and installed Ubuntu from within Windows (a Wubi install I suppose). I originally intended to install by booting from the iso I burned onto a CD,but the installer was failing to load (fonts would change and it would error message). LiveCD was failing to load too in the same fashion. After hitting alt and tweaking the F6 settings, LiveCD successfully loaded (my very first taste of Ubuntu, albeit somewhat bland). I then decided to reinstall Ubuntu with proper linux partitions from within LiveCD. Now when I select Ubuntu in the Windows Boot Manager, a WBM screen says the file:
ubuntuwinbootwubildr.mbr is missing or corrupt. I do not know if this file is the problem or merely a symptom of it Below I have copied my Boot Summary (my apologies for the length and extra partitions):

I'm getting some funny behavior from ffmpeg when I'm trying to increase the volume of an mp3 file and have it overwrite itself. For example, if I execute the following command:

it will code the first 5 seconds or so and then quit with:
Code:

i try to split mpeg file using ffmpeg. The splitting itself works OK, but the quality is lower. What should I do in order to keep the same video quality?
