I need to remove sections from video files (from the middle and the end) on the command-line. Generally these will be mp4 and avi files.
For instance, I have a .mp4 file which is 32:30 minutes long. I'd like to remove from 2:49 to 3:20, and remove the last 60 seconds.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
Tool like Media File Segmenter for Linux
I know that one can use ffmpeg to extract a smallfile.avi from a largfile.avi. But What I am looking for is an tool/command to split a large file into several files of a given size.
I have a text file with 3 million urls that I want split into chunks of 5,000.
Anyone have idiot proof simple instructions to accomplish this in the command line?
i want to upload my iso collection to adrive(.)comi have a slow upload and i want to split each iso file in chunks of 100 MB so they upload while every browsing session of mine.i figured i should use split and cat commands to do that.but i cant afford to upload some corrupt archives, so how may i go about checking the small chunks to the original file before uploading

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a simple bash script and I would like it to be able to to execute top (that's the easy part) and then to supply the parameters to top
programatically.
Here is the explanation:
Top is an interactive program that requires user input to do stuff, sort etc. I would like to programatically do so, for example:
top;
supply input;
get info;
quit;
Is it possible with simple bash?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a bash script that needs to know whether or not a device node is part of a RAID array. I'm just curious if anyone knows of a good way to determine if a device node is in a RAID array. I know that you can run mdadm -Q or mdadm --examine on the device node and that will tell you. But I don't want to rely on screen scrapping and would rather have something that would return a boolean. Any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am very much new to Linux programming. My question is Is there any way to read UUID of a device or partition in linux programatically. Is there any c/c++ API for user-space applications. I found some commands "sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda1", "sudo blkid", "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/". But all are commands which we need to run in terminal. But i need to achieve this from a c/c++ program. Can some one help me in this problem.(FYI: I need to read uuid of root filesystem ("/") where Linux has been installed.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a hard drive with a bad PCB board. It stays on when not under heavy load and it will restart if I copy too much data off it. So far I have had good luck doing folders under 500 MB in size if I copy one folder to my good hard drive, wait five minutes, copy another, etc.
If I mount the bad drive and try to copy a folder of several GBs in size it will start and then stop as the hard drive restarts. When I try to mount the drive again Linux says it can't read the superblock. I have several folders with over 30 GB of data in many different folders.
What I am looking for is a way of copying a folder in Linux such that the commands grab the whole folder in chunks with a timed break in-between.
I want to copy about 40GB - to a partiton. There are two hard drives in my box one won't boot but I can aaccess it and mount partitions and I aim to move data from it to a new bootable hard drive. Doing a simple cp copy command may not be the best way to copy and paste such a large chunk? Also I want to backup the data I plan to copy/paste using a USB hard drive to backup. But I could also paste data from the backup to the new drive instead of from old internal hd to new hd. - that's another option.

As a curious side project I'm playing with mzXML data(an xml format for holding mass spec data). A typical scan can be quite large, even up into GB size. I'm wondering how would one go about parsing an xml file in sections, one section at a time. The idea being if the computer doesn't have enough memory to load up the entire data file, work on chunks of it at a time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to check the contents of a text file for a specific string and remove it from the file from the command prompt. I would basically be searching through a number of files and if a specific string is found I would like it removed automatically. pretty much a find and replace, were the replace is nothing. any one got any ideas on how you would do this. I already have the search part sorted just need to be able to remove the string I don't want from the multiple files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am writting a script to allow uploading of certain files. I want to limit the files by their filename and mime type, and by making sure the two match up.The first thing I need to do is make sure I've got all the mime types I need added. I have never done this before, but I understand that 'file' (which is what PHP's mime-type finding is based off of) uses magic databases that tell at which point in the file should have signatures of the filetype.
My trouble started when I was unable to determine the filetype of any of my video files. Currently, I have some .MOV and .MP4 files that I am using to test.
I want to be able to play a video file on my pda(Tungsten T5) but from memory the only video file i have seen playable on it was the asf file that is used when it starts up/reboots. I tried other file types in the past that were suggested in maybe a manual or forum or something but they never worked/played. I think it is because of the player installed and i tried installing another player but from memory that didn't install properly or just did not play anything. So if anyone knows of a way to convert files maybe using winff or mencoder i would love that info. I have been googling and have found nothing specific to what i am asking. I do not see anything in winff to convert to asf and cannot remember ever using mencoder.

I was copying an .avi file to an external hard drive and half way through the copy the drive reset and required remounting. Consequently I have an empty .avi file on the hard drive. I tried to recopy the file and overwrite, but I keep getting 'Could not write to media/harddrive/filename.avi'. I tried to rename to file to be copied but got the same response, I cannot delete the empty file either, as I get an error telling I cannot delete it. I have tried to do this as the user and root with the same result.Any other file I tried to copy onto the external hard drive is fine, just this one zero length file and the file I was trying to copy, the original of the file. I also tried to delete the file on another computer but couldn'tExternal hard drive is a WD elements ntfs, which works great except for this glitch.

I installed the wrong file and now I would like to remove it. It was one of those .tar.gz files you have to install with ./configure, make, make install.I suspect files were installed all over the place.Is there a utility for removing a .tar.gz file ?
