I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool. Dolphin / Konqueror auidiocd:// KIO slave shows the mp3 folder, but when you move the tracks you get: Could not read some_song.mp3: encoding failed WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input. Compile without libsndfile if this is a problem. I'm running 11.3 (KDE 4.4.4) with K3B 2 from Packman (with the k3b 2 codec package) and K3B fails as does the KIO slave method above. Lame version is: lame-3.98.4-2.pm.4.1.x86_64 Restricted multimedia formats packages are installed from Restricted formats/11.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki Alsa works great otherwise, I have no sound issue, etc. - just can't rip anything to mp3 Seems like I'm not the only one who has had this problem, there are a few posts here on the Suse Forum, and others elsewhere, but the resolution seems to be nebulous at best. Sometimes lame 3.98 from packman works for some guys, other times not, etc. Unable to rip an audio cd into mp3's using 11.2 - opensuse.opensuse.org - ArchiveOrange

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3.
Either how can I get that encoder for vlc or what else can I use to convert wma to mp3?
I can't seem to watch video from CBC's video player - here's an example stream that should play now: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/Tim.../ID=1396204261

The only program so far that I've found that does this is avisynth but I can't seem to make it work at all. Does it even work under ubuntu? I've tried numerous guides and how to's but nothing seems to be working.
Basically I just need something that will take a video file, from several different sources (cameras placed around a car) and be able to place them in a grid form into one file. Basically in a format like this, where each letter is a different video file:
a b
c d
I have been doing some very basic editing in Pitivi and how to get it to encode to X.264. I'm encoding to 480p and I was wondering how do I change the setting to make make it encode to X.264 and look good at small or ok file sizes. 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.
i just want to know what is best to convert in linux ubuntu 10.04LTS to convert videos!?
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 can't seem to get DivX streams to buffer long enough to watch them. I have installed DivX plugins and tried to use VLC, neither which, allow me to pause the video and allow the buffer to load. On Winblows and Mac, There was a different player that handled DivX streams that allowed for large buffering. I checked the /tmp folder while attempting to watch and the stream is not there. Is there another folder I should see the stream in? Is there a bug with the software, or can you only buffer DivX streams as long as they are running? I have a slow DSL connection and have no other way, other than torrents, to watch movies. And I would much rather wait a few minutes to watch the entire movie, than wait a few hours for the torrent to finish downloading.

I even tried to install the Silverlight Plug-In without any result, does anybody know what I could do to make windows media audio streams work ? it is wierd because i seem to be able to watch windows media video streams from other websites, but i cannot listen to any stream from this one, it used to work for mp3 streams only, but after desinstalling/resinstalling the mplayer plug in, it doesn't work anymore on this website. I can listen to those streams without any problem under windows 7, so the problem isn't coming from the website.

Banshee (or totem) can't play mmsh streams. I have packman repositorie activated and have installed all gstreammer plugins plus ffmeg and ffmpeg related gstreamer plugins and libmms0.
I can play mp3, xvid and other formats, but these streams are the only thing that does not work.
This is an eternal problem with radio-canada streaming content, and it seems every new version of ubuntu we have to go through different processes to get it to work.In some previous versions, following the guidelines provided by radio-canada worked, but they are quite outdated now and some of the packages they refered to do not even exist anymore. I make regular reports of their website, but users complaining only end up by, if they answer at all "it works on our computers so it should work on yours" or "why don't you use windows".
Basically, their guides consist of removing the totem totem plugin, installing flash-plugin-nonfree and the mplayer plugin.I read somewhere the mplayer plugin is now gecko-mediaplayer, which I installed, but the videos still don't work.
I'm getting silence when trying to record output from pulseaudio on my laptop. This wasn't happening the last time I tried, which, I admit, was almost certainly a previous ubuntu release (I'm on 10.10).
My sound card is an Intel ICH8-family device, supported by the snd_hda_intel module. PulseAudio calls it "Internal Audio Analog Stereo".
I'm doing various things that I find on the onlines, a few main ideas:
1. parec
I use:
Code:
parec -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
When I search for 'monitor' in $(pactl list), the only thing listed is alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor.
I use sox to convert the output to wav:
Code:
sox -t raw -r 44k -e signed-integer -L b 16 -c 2 $RAWFILE $WAVFILE

I have a load of XViD videos and I want to re-encode them into x264 - when I say a load, I mean over 300, anyone have any programs they reccomend to do it?I want to make them into those "future-sized movies" (700mb --> 300mb, 170mb --> 95mb, 350mb --> 150mb), what settings should I use? I want to keep the quality of the originals intact, along with the video sizes if possible, but if not, I don't really mind, just make them smaller. Here are the settings some people use in windows:oh yeah, one last thing - fast encoders please, I know it'll take a good while, but I want it to take as little time as possible please
View 4 Replies View RelatedHandbrake simply will not encode. I've used it for a while now on 32 bit Ubuntu 9.10 and on 64 bit Windows 7 but since I've upgraded to 10.04 64 bit I can add a video as source and the encode button is grayed out. I cannot start encoding. The version of Handbrake I am using is 0.9.4.Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this issue? I am thinking of trying version 0.9.3 again.

ALSO IMPORTANT
MAke sure you have Lame installed on your synaptic the encoding relies on it for the lossy part and make it executable ALSO make sure you go into the terminal enter mp3hdEncoder and ACCEPT the agreement now i am seeking the same information for 3 other formats.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have been using Avidemux to encode edited video using x264 and the mp4 container for most of my videos. My PCs are not new, using single-core AMD Athlon processors.
In 9.04 and 9.10 (Linux Mint), encoding speeds ranged from 7 to 10 frames per second. In 10.04 these dropped down to less than 2 frames per second.
I booted back into Linux Mint 8 (9.10) and the same video encoded at the previous 7 to 10 fps.
I tried with other videos in different formats (mpeg2 and VOB). The results were the same - 10.04 was extremely slow encoding x264 but Mint 8 was "normal" at 7 to 10 fps.
With a dual-core notebook, however, the encoding speeds ran at 8 to 14 fps in 10.04.
Was 10.04 optimized for dual and multi-core at the expense of single-core? If so, is there a way to restore "single-core optimization"?

I 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.
