Ubuntu Multimedia :: External Encoding In The Rubyripper?
Jul 18, 2010
rubyripper 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.

I'm kind of frustrated about the CD ripping programs I've tried - one doesn't stop ripping at the end of the CD, the other one doesn't rip at all. In the past, I used to use Grip, which was perfectly fine, but it's no longer available for Ubuntu 9.10, so I had to move on to other programs. Since I cannot compile from source (tried a couple times in the past, always screwed up badly), SoundJuicer - which is supposed to be really great - is not an option for me (anybody aware of a deb?). Rubyripper looks great, but when I tell it to rip, it simply doesn't do nothing.
RipOff is more simple and basic. It rips, but a) only at, like, 2.3x speed (how can I speed it up?) and b) at the end of the CD, it just continues ripping and never finishes. I end up with e.g. a 5:30 minute OGG for a song that runs for 4:10 minutes. The song itself is perfectly fine and completely present, the OGG just goes on in silence for another minute afterwards. This happened twice so far. It just doesn't stop when the CD is over. How can I get a CD ripping software that does its job flawlessly?

I've been using the rubyripper gui on 10.04 for a while now, using my samsung se-so84 external dvd writer and I really like it. The problem is, I seem to have found that a small handful of my CDs will not rip at all. it says that it is ripping the first trial of the first track and never progresses past this. I check the files and the temporary .wav file. usually, when this file is created it is of size 44 bytes and increases to a number of MB in a matter of seconds. in the case of the albums that do not work, the file remains very small, all being 32KB, with the exception of one that is 64KB and another that remained 44 bytes. I check the log files and they all read:
Code:
STATUS
Starting to rip track 1, trial #1
Filesize is not correct! Trying another time
Starting to rip track 1, trial #1
However, this appears to be normal as I checked the log of an album that ripped correctly and it started with this.
So I tried using the command line mode and that didn't work either. the ouput was:
Code:
STATUS
Ripping progress (0 %)
Ripping track 1
Expected filesize for track 1 is 66389948 bytes.
and then it exits. in the directory, an empty temp folder has been created and the album's folder contains a log file that ends after STATUS. I tried using a CD that works on the gui and the command line did the same thing. could this be something to do with the incorrect filesize that the log showed for all CDs?

I loaded RubyRipper today so I can rip some music, but don't know where it went. I extracted it, but don'y know what to do now. If it is not a straightforward install, where I just click install and it does the rest, I am lost. What do I look for, and what do I do?

I have read several threads on the subject of installing rubyripper, and following the instructions seems to work for a while, but at the end of "sudo apt-get install rubyripper" or some variant like -gtk I get the return: "Couldn't find package rubyripper"
I have tried this through the Ubuntu software center, terminal, Synaptic, etc, and do not know anywhere else to go and look for it.

rubyripper starts ripping but then it seems it stops during the analyzation.No action noticable and it does not finish.The last message in the log is: analyzing the files for not matching chunks.I left it for hours and nothing happens.It happens with all formats and with all CD's I have.No error messages or other.With opensuse 11.2. there was no problem at all.
rubyripper version 0.6.0
Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-12-desktop x86_64
Distribution: openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64)
KDE: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 7"
Does anybody have an idea or need any logfiles?A similar problem I have in k3b when ripping audio cd's. It hangs up during analyzation.

I've been using rubyripper quite happily on Karmic, now I've moved to Lucid and discovered a bit of an issue. rubyripper will pause for several minutes between tracks with ruby 1.8. If I upgrade to ruby 1.9.1 the gui client won't run due to an issue with libgtk2-ruby not being available for 1.9.1.
The cli version of rubyripper under 1.9.1 is blazingly fast, so that is what I'm using at the moment, but I do prefer the gui.
Anyone have any insight into this? Googling suggests there may be a bug in ruby 1.8.7 that caused the long pauses, but it was supposed to have been fixed in 1.8.7.249 i.e. the default Lucid version.

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'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 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

Handbrake 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.

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'm trying to encode a video using only one image during a complete audio file, but a can't find the way to do it. What I need to do is to extend the duration of the frame up to the duration of the audio file. How do I do that with mencoder?

I use the script h264enc (installed from the repos) to encode my dvds into avi and mp4. It was working flawlessly under 9.10, now I get the error that MEncoder doesn't support AAC encoding? I have installed all the restricted drivers and I can play dvds, mp4's, .

I 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?

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.

It 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".

I 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:
Code: Select allavconv -y -i input.mov -r:v 25/1 -c:v libvpx -minrate 400k -maxrate 600k -b:v 400k -s 640x360 -force_fps -b:a 80k -pass 1 output.webm
avconv -y -i input.mov -r:v 25/1 -c:v libvpx -minrate 400k -maxrate 600k -b:v 400k -s 640x360 -force_fps -b:a 80k -pass 2 output.webm

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

I have a few ogg files that I want to put on my phone. My phone doesn't play oggs, so I need to convert. It's just an audiobook so I really don't care about quality. Oddly, nothing I try seems to be up to the task. Here's what I tried so far:
sox my.ogg my.mp3: "sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `x.mp3': SoX was compiled without MP3 encoding support" mencoder: wants video too?? Wha?? vlc (from GUI): "p, li { white-space: pre-wrapStreaming / Transcoding failed: It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.
This is not an error inside VLC media player. 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?

After 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 ?

In 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'm trying to convert the encoding of multiple files in a directory and I try to do it as follows.
Code:
#/bin/bash
find . -type f -name *.txt -exec iconv -f GBK -t utf-8 "{}" -o "{}.utf8" ;
find . -type f -name *.utf8 -exec mv -f "{}" `echo "{}" | sed 's/.utf8//'` ;
The first command goes well by generating utf8 files from all txt files, but the second command fails with error message. Could someone enlighten me about the mistake in the command and share a workable solution?
