I'm trying to get my kids' DVD's backed up and converted for use on their little video players. The players as best I can tell will only play movies encoded in wmv3 (I think essentially the same as VC1?). ffmpeg apparently isn't capable of encoding to either format and mencode seems to have the same issue. Does anyone know of a Linux option for encoding into this PITA format?

I'm trying to encode a wmv file to flv with ffmpeg. The video codec is WMV3 and the audio codec is wmap (Windows Media Audio Professional). The command I use is:
Code:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i <input file>.wmv -s 640x350 -b 1024k -r 25 -ar 44100 -ac 2 -y <output file>.flv
Output:

As you can probably see the audio codec is not supported. Is there a way to encode WMV3+wmap with ffmpeg or any other tool in Linux? Windows Media Encoder in Windows is able to encode such files to a supported codec. For example: WMV3+WMA2/WMV2+WMA2, I could then encode it in Linux. I'm trying to find a way to directly encode WMV3+wmap in Linux.
I just installed ubuntu in a dual boot with Windows 7, I have a new emachines pc compact with 3gb ram 2.8 amd processor, and nvidia 6150 integrated. I cannot see the boot menu, so now I cannot go back into windows anymore becaue I am receiving the message "monitor out of range change to 1600x900" so it just automatically boots into ubuntu. I have searched alot on this topic, and have tried giving terminal commands specified for thiis issue, but the termnal does not recognize the commands. I am logging in and am typing "sudo" before I go into configutration. I am BRAND NEW to linux and am really struggling with this.

when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirst and foremost is Avidemux. Somewhere between Fedora 11, 12 and 13 Avidemux lost the capability to encode audio streams in AAC format. I've installed all pertinent packages for it and for AAC, and even though AAC is available to other programs (Banshee, SoundJuicer, etc), alas it is not in Avidemux. I read somewhere that since the newer version of Avidemux now uses a plug-in architecture, support for a lot of formats might be missing as they get ported.
I use Avidemux as usually I rip my DVDs into .mp4 files which I serve up from a Linux box at home and stream them to my PS3, or simply to load a bunch onto my laptop to watch on the move or when I'm on call at the hospital (like I am right now)...
Kind of related to this that I remember not too long ago, I was able to convert a DVD into PSP's mp4 format from DVD::Rip, IIRC directly from the application, but last time I used it, it only seems to have support for AVI, OGM and MPEG container formats. Maybe somthing changed along the way that I'm not aware of.
It looks to boil down to the fact that the package avidemux-plugins from RPMFusion is missing the necessary plugin... I'll go check why is that.
I'm trying to convert Flac audio file to AAC file using command line. It's working fine. Now I want to do the same using fifo And it's freezing.So could you tall me what I'm doing wrong.

I will be uploading these to ..... and want them to look sexy.
And if X.264 can't encode to X.264 then at lest how do I turn the quality up in the formats that it does support.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm copying an animated TV series from DVD to my computer. The DVDs are encoded at 29.970fps, which I find strange because animation usually uses 23.976fps. Anyway, what I have done is de-interlaced and re-encoded it to H.264. Now it is set to 59.970fps, which I think is higher than what I want. I'm seeking advice on whether I should leave it at that or change it to one of the lower frame rates. Another question: Do you think that I should be encoding to H.263 instead? This is just to have copies of the videos on my hard drive.
Note: I used Avidemux with the Yadif filter using the bob method to de-interlace the film. I think the bob method preserves the actual 60 fields and converts them into complete frames. I'm guessing that the temporal spatial check would halve the frames and give me the 29.970fps.
I wanted to know how to determine the encoding of a file which was uploaded by FTP. I found the thread /newbie/47637-how-check-encoding-text.html which points to the right information (by using the command file) but it doesn't help me in my case. Take a look yourself:Code: # file testutf8.phptestutf8.php: PHP script text As you see, Linux (Debian Lenny in my case) detects the file as PHP script text because of the code within the file (that's my guess at least).Is there another way to check how this file was encoded?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing some difficulties accessing some of my drives which have folders/files whose names include special characters. That problem has appeared just now, in Fedora 11, and just in XFCE4 (it somehow got stuck with the English default). In neither GNOME nor KDE happens.
The problem is not narrowed down to Thunar because even the terminal fails to recognize the special characters in XFCE4.
I guess that is simply solved by editing some configuration file, but I can't seem to find it.
What do I need to do to allow XFCE4 recognize special characters?
EDIT: It's definitely XFCE4, because if I open Thunar or xterm from GNOME, they recognize special-characters-filenames very well.

I know it isn't the file, because the file looks normal if I open it by going to /var/www/html/index.html I looked at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and it says that it is using UTF-8, which I'm pretty sure is normal. I don't remember it doing this before I installed kdewebdev and ran Quanta Plus, although I have no idea how it could have caused this. Has this happened to anyone else?
I have two machines in a local network and want to share files among them. Since I don't want to bother configuring NFS right now I am using ssh and scp to transfer files among them. There is a little problem though: the machines have different *nixes. One machine has Fedora 12 (Spanish) and the other one has PCBSD 7.1.1 (English).The problem is that both machines have different character encoding and while the Fedora machine can perfectly handle names with special characters, the BSD machine can't and in fact upon doing ssh to the Fedora machine filenames (with special characters) appear wrong and prove difficult to work with.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using 11.2, KDE 4.3.5 with Grip and Flac to rip and encode CDs. Two questions:- Have read flac -help and do not understand the -o option which is used in a few example threads. The man page suggests that -o should be used with subsequent parameters such as --output_name=FILENAME for example. In the example posts this general option is used on its own. What for?
The installation when first used, already had a string of options including --best on the command line. I cannot find any documentation for this. I assume it is a preset in the same way as for example --preset extreme in lame.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn W7 and WXP when you tried to open an image or non-text file using notepad, the software would guess at the character encoding and show a bunch of gibberish. this allowed you to edit the image to make it corrupt or (what I am trying to do) hide a message or text within an image file and still have the image display. Is there any way to do this with gedit or another text editor in the repositories? I'd prefer to not use a command line text editor such as vim or emacs.

I have a file of words and want to encode them in a numeric form, based on position.This is best explained by example:

P was first encountered at position 1 so it is encoded as 1.
E was first encountered at position 2 so it is encoded as 2.
