Ubuntu Multimedia :: Encoding To X.264 In Pitivi?
Feb 15, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Re-encoding Animated DVD?
Aug 8, 2011I'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.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Mass Encoding Into X264?
Jan 3, 2010I 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

May 7, 2010Handbrake 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.

Jul 18, 2010rubyripper is designed to be the EAC for linux and in this thread here mc4man very kindly gave me the other box encode line for mp3HD slightly modified to give a 320kbps on the lossy aspect of the file
Code:
mp3hdEncoder -br 320000 -if "%i" -of "%o".mp3 - -Title "%t" -Artist "%a" -Album "%b" -Track "%n" -Year "%y" -Genre "%g"
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.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Very Slow X264 Encoding Using Avidemux In 10.04
May 8, 2010I 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"?

Oct 16, 2010I recently upgraded to Maverick and am loving it. Converting over my various scripts to work on the new box I notice that my video trascoding script, which uses mencoder to re-encode video as h264, now does not work.
Code:
mencoder $inpfile -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:q=3 -ovc x264 -x264encopts crf=22:threads=auto:subq=4:bframes=2:b_pyramid:weight_b:turbo=1 -ofps 25 -o $outfile
For a long time this has worked just fine but the command basically bombs out every time with
Code:
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
I tried using the medibuntu mplayer/mencoder but still no dice.
Does anyone know how I can get this important functionality back?
OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Encoding With Flac - Presets?
Jan 22, 2011I 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.

Aug 1, 2011It is well known that mencoder can be used to encode video to be burned on DVD with a tool like dvdauthor. The whole procedure is described here:
7.8. Using MEncoder to create VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant files
Sound for a DVD is normally encoded with AC3. I encountered some cases where the encoded sound was badly distorted. As it seems, the default for the input changed to float at some point. The fix for this is to use:
Code:
acodec=ac3_fixed
instead of "acodec=ac3".
Debian Multimedia :: Avconv - Two Pass Encoding MOV To WEBM Not Working
Jan 11, 2016I am trying to perform a 2-pass encoding of a video from .mov to .webm, but it looks like that the 2-pass encoding is much worse than doing a single pass encoding. Here are the two commands I use:

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Can't Rip Mp3 With Kio Slave Or K3b - Libsndfile Error - Could Not Read Some_song.mp3: Encoding Failed
Mar 3, 2011I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool.

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.

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

Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue." lame my.ogg my.mp3: "sorry, vorbis support in LAME is deprecated." audicity (via GUI): success..but I'm now going to have to somehow script it. This is very annoying. It makes me want to rip directly into mp3 from now on. Is there an easy way to convert an ogg file to an mp3 from the command-line?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: No H264 Encoding In Ubuntu 10.04
May 9, 2010After installing Ubuntu 10.04 no mp4 encoding works anymore. After googling around I tried installing h264enc, x264 and libx264-85 but with no result. In synaptics all these codecs are marked as installed. Playback of H.264 worked out-of-the-box.
Previously, on Crunchbang 9.04 and Kubuntu 8.10 H.264 encoding worked fine. Where can I find a suitable encoder for H.264 ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Get AVI Videos To Play At All
Apr 4, 2010I cannot get AVI videos to play with the Totem movie player that comes bundled with Ubuntu 8.04 on the Dell Mini 9. I keep getting: "Could not determine type of stream." Randomly, one or two of the dozen or so videos on my SD card will work, but most will not. This is very frustrating because all the videos I download are always in AVI format.
I tried used the synaptic package manager find an alternative player and tried MPlayer, but that didn't do anything. I'd just get a blank screen on everything. Using the tutorial in this forum, I got GNOME Mplayer, which also didn't work, but even a video that worked with Totem would only play audio with GNOME Mplayer.
I looked in the repository for video codec updates but didn't see any. What do I do? Is there like a Winamp for Linux? This is a total bummer. I just want to play AVI files that are so commonly used for video.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Editing HD MKV Videos ?
Apr 14, 2010I'm trying to find a program where I can edit some hd mkv files. I want to cut pieces of them out and put them together. I was using avidemux but when I went to save it again it said I needed the start point to be a keyframe. It allowed me to save it as an avi, but the color was distorted. I am fine with using avidemux if I can get around this keyframe problem.

Jul 31, 2010I have used ubuntu for a long time but always using either a live CD or my Flash stick.
On past Thursday i decided to install ubuntu on my laptop and i did it . It is light and healthy (ha ha). Any way, I would like to play AVI, MKV, RMVB, and MP4 videos but i couldn't. I tried a lot of debian packages and drives (i.e. files with .deb extension) but no result except installing RealPlay that i am using it to play mp3 files only.
can you give me some packages to play those files. (I can't connect my laptop to Internet for the time being). In addition, I have Huawei E1750 USB Modem but the system does not recogize it. Is there any way to play those videos and surf the net using the modem in UBUNTU 10.04 LTS.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Convert Flv Videos To MP4?
Aug 30, 2010I've been trying to convert flv videos to MP4 so that I can load them onto my iPod Classic 160 G (video).
So far no program has successfully converted an flv file to a usable mp4.I've tried Avidemux (both gtk and qt), Kdenlive, WinFF, Mobile Media Converter, DownloadHelper (FireFox addon) Tragtor and of course the King of them all- FFMPEG. Not one of the previously mentioned programs has successfully and consistently converted an FLV to mp4 for my ipod.
It could be that I'm doing something wrong with FFMPEG or don't have the correct codecs (whatever the heck they are?!) installed or that I voted for McGovern in '68. The "help" from FFMPEG both IRC and their obnoxious email list is beyond deplorable.
Anyway, I need to know a reliable and consistent way to turn flv or any other videos into an MP4 format that will run on my iPod. The program must reside on my machine and not some online converter service. If I have to use FFMPEG (which I understand most programs use as their core) I need to know how to do it....and for God's sake don't tell me to read the online documentation at FFMPEG..

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Cli Program To Cut Videos?
Oct 25, 2010I have some 10hrs videos with around 6GB in size. Unfortunately avidemux2_cli runs into problems copying certain parts of it into an output file (frames get blur).
So I tried ffmpeg, but even if I use the sameq switch (same quality as source video), the output video is not a 1:1 copy of the source video. In fact the output video is encoded again (and sound is not as in the source video) and that takes ages against a copy activity by avidemux. Is there any other cli program for simply copying parts out of videos?
