Software :: Using Ffmpeg For Cut First 1 Minute Of Flac Files
Mar 3, 2011
I have so many flac files. I want to have 1 minute samples of the files in mp3 and a bitrate of 64. (First 1 minute of all files) How can I do that with ffmpeg command?
I have some downloaded files of radio programme from BBC which are .aac. I have never come across this type before. Googled it so now I am a bit wiser and VLC seems to play them without problem but they are not accepted by my upnp client devices which are happier with flac or mp3. I would prefer flac but what is the preferred conversion software.
You will need "cuetag" for this which is part of the "cuetools" but since you already installed it (see previous seps), all you have to do is open the terminal, navigate to the folder where you just splitted some APE or FLAC files and type this:
Code:
cuetag *.cue split-track*.flac ;
(if you didn't change the file's name from split-trackNN.flac). All the split-track*.flac files will have tags in just a few seconds.so i did exactly what i was suppose to do but for some reason is still could not add the tags to my FLAC files..
Code:
kon@kon-laptop:~$ cd ~/Desktop kon@kon-laptop:~/Desktop$ cd *ora* kon@kon-laptop:~/Desktop/sDvorak $ cd *CD1*
Lately I've tried rsync for backing up my home partition to an external drive, but I've run into some problems with some flac files (there might be other problematic files though, these are the ones I know of). The external drive is formatted in ntfs. Now, when adding my whole music directory (within my home directory) first as a library to VLC and then copying to the playlist, some files are not playable. I discovered this at work in windows, and resaved all the flac files using ex falso to skip windows incompatible characters. The problem persisted though. I tried the same thing in VLC in Ubuntu, and got again a set of non-playable files, partly, but not completely, overlapping the set of files that were not playable in windows. The original files (on my internal drive) are playable in VLC in Ubuntu. What to do (except to go back to cp instead of rsync, rsync is faster, but if it doesn't copy correctly, it's not worth it)?
What do people generally do with FLAC files? Do they directly play them either with a stand-alone player or with the computer or, on the contrary, they first create audio CDs with them? Please understand my post is not about not knowing what a FLAC file is. I've used programs that create an audio CD from a FLAC file many times and also, others that haven't been converted, I play them directly.
Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Rhythmbox 0.12.8. First issue was I could not get MP3 to show as a "Preferred format", but then installed the "gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse package"; MP3 was then a "Preferred format" option. Now that MP3 is the preferred format, the CD is ripped in a "flac" format. Is there some conversion? I'm not well versed in music file formats.
I have about 50GB of .MOD video files that I need to compress to a smaller format. The only problem is that there are many files (30 second to 5 minute clips) spread out across several directories. I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that will recursively search the directories and batch convert all of the files? I'm open to anything including a good script for mencoder or ffmpeg.
I was hoping someone could help me, I am trying to upload files to ovi share(without using firefox), at the minute i have to right click the file then click send to then email, [URL].. click send, then it opens evolution and I have to click again to send. Does anyone know how I should be going about this? How do I make this simpler?
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 want to try Picard for tagging flac files. (Not sure it will work). It is available from RPM Fusion repo site. Can I use this with yast to install picard?
Amarok will play flac files just fine, but when i try to index them into the library via "Update collection" they are not added.
All other threads i can find on this kind of thing also have Amarok not playing flac....but if i drag and drop them in, they play just fine, so i know its not a codec problem.
Is there something i have to enable? Like in some media players, you can set which formats are scanned for...but i cant seem to find such a feature available in any of the Amarok settings...
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 just installed Ubuntu on a net book. I'd like hook it up to my car's aux jack and use it to play FLAC files in my car. Is there a an media player that would be good for that? If I could set multiple hot keys I could set one side of the key board for forward and back.
I just installed cplay on Slackware 13.1 but I ran into a problem and I am unable to figure it out on my own:
When browsing folders in cplay I went into a folder containing only .FLAC music files.. it was empty! I am unable to play any of these with cplay
If I cd into that folder through the terminal and play the file using ogg123 it works fine.. cplay is just a front-end to mpg123 and ogg123... I don't know why it isn't reading these files..
I dont know where to start... I was unable to find any documentation of config file for cplay (not even a slackbuild for it.. I installed it from source which I extracted from a Debian package)
I am looking for a command line command to convert ~2500 .flac files to .ogg files. All of the .flac files are in one folder and I would like to have the .ogg files put in a folder labled OGG - I would like to retain song information etc if possible.
All such conversions doesnt produce any *.flac file. It seems flac doesnt accept minus sign for the standard input although flac manual allows to use it.
So my question is how I can use the standard input in order to decode audio data with flac?
I've created some time-lapse videos from photos, using this command: ffmpeg -i IMG_%03d.JPG -s 1440x1080 -sameq video.MP4
And it worked great. Now I want to join several of these time-lapse videos to make a single, longer video (all the input videos have the exactly same format). I already tried using: cat video1.MP4 video2.MP4 > stitch.MP4
but the output ends up being equal to video1.MP4, I don't want to transcode nor changing any parameter of the video, I just want a end-to-end stitching, as if those videos were on a playlist.
one is : /home/pt/t/pa1.flv the other is : /home/pt/t/pa2.flv 1 o merge with ffmpeg ffmpeg -i /home/pt/t/pa1.flv -i /home/pt/t/pa2.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy /home/pt/t/dd.flv the problem is: the merged file ( /home/pt/t/dd.flv ) just contain one file--the first one /home/pt/t/pa1.flv,there is no the second file--/home/pt/t/pa2.flv in the /home/pt/t/dd.flv
I'm running ClipBucket on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server x64.Conversion of AVI to FLV works just fine, however when I try to upload an MPG file, it fails. Apparently I should recompile ffmpeg to allow for MPG > FLV conversions.
I use ffmpeg to convert my files, but when I do so, I lose the keyframes metadata from my flv files. The command I use right now is: $/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i %s -ab 96k -ar 44100 -b 500k -r 25 -f flv %sHow can I avoid ffmpeg to delete the keyframes info?
how to increase the volume of ogg and mp3 files using ffmpeg. Some of the podcasts that I listen to are not loud enough, and I have my media player set to the highest volume.
there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.
