Ubuntu Multimedia :: Change MP4 Video Files In A Directory To MP3 Audio Files?
Apr 29, 2011What would be a nice, simple command to go through all files in a directory (no sub-directories), and change all the MP4 Video files I have to MP3 audio files (keeping the original filenames except for changing the "mp4" extension to "mp3")?
The files in question were videos taken with one of those Flip cameras, but I only need the audio off of it.
Ubuntu :: Cannot Find Zipfile Directory In One Of Dzoni Downloads

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

Debian :: Turn A Bunch Of Files/folders Into A .deb?
Jan 26, 2010I have been playing with JWM source and found this cool tutorial at Debian Forums about how its easier to generate a .deb vs installing from source in the traditional manner (./configure, make,etc)[URL] My problem is that when doing the command

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
it starts over, destroys the previous jwm stuff, including my custom files and generates a .deb so, how do I stop it from "cleaning" when i run the above command?
General :: Keep A Backup Of A Bunch Of Files On A Flash Drive?
Apr 29, 2011I keep a backup of a bunch of files on a flash drive, so that whenever I change distributions I can just restore all my Android stuff (saves on re-downloading everything). One of these is the Android SDK.
In my ~/.bashrc I add the paths to some executables in the SDK, only if the directory exists, and only if the path is not already in $PATH. For the Android NDK this works fine, but for the SDK I get this:
Code:
snfo@snfo:~$ adb devices
bash: /home/snfo/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory
snfo@snfo:~$ ls -F /home/snfo/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb
/home/snfo/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb*
Everything else is fine though, just that one path is causing trouble.
Now, I've saw something similar to this before whenever you move an executable from one place to another. If you don't re-source your bash config it will continue to keep looking wherever it used to be located. But I've never moved these files.
General :: Renaming A Bunch Of Files Using For-structure And The Mv Command?
Feb 3, 2010Basically I need to rename a bunch of .doc files using the for-structure and the mv command (w/ wildcards) in bash. I guess this would be a bit easier if I'd use the rename command, but since this is a school assignment of sorts I need to use for & mv. The .doc files are named "1filename.doc", "2filename.doc" etc. And I've got to rename them to "aaa_1filename.doc", "aaa_2filename.doc", "aaa_3filename.doc" and so on. Tried to dabble quite a bit with the for and mv commands, basically just got a bunch of errors. Every damn time. For 2 hours. The most common error was "mv: missing destination file operand after ..."
View 6 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Batch-convert A Bunch Of Old Wma Files To Ogg Vorbis?
Jan 15, 2010I'm not asking for help here, just documenting something I just discovered. Yesterday I wanted to batch-convert a bunch of old wma files to ogg vorbis. Not wanting to go through intermediate wav files, I tried to use ffmpeg to do it in one go. I first tried using the following command (in a loop, which I won't print here).
Code:
ffmpeg -i $file -f ogg -acodec vorbis -ab 192k outputdir/$file "vorbis" turns out to be the built-in libavc implementation of the codec. In the process I discovered that the -ab value is always ignored. No matter what value you put, the output is always the default 64k (average, but of course it's vbr). You can however use the poorly-documented -aq option to set the audio quality used. The values don't correspond to the oggenc values though, being a number ranging from 10-100 (or more, I don't know what the maximum is). It's not exactly clear what number corresponds to what average bitrate, so you have to experiment. ~30 seems to give you an average-rate file, while anything above 60 is probably overkill.
Switching to the external libvorbis gave me more flexibility, although at a cost of much longer encoding times (note that ffmpeg must have been compiled with libvorbis support first).
Code:
ffmpeg -i $file -f ogg -acodec libvorbis -ab 192k outputdir/$file
ffmpeg -i $file -f ogg -acodec libvorbis -aq 6 outputdir/$file
I could use both -ab and -aq (with the numbers corresponding to the oggenc values), with no problems. ffmpeg does display some wrong values in it's output text, however. In addition, there's one more difference. The vorbis (libavc) codec provides an entry in the header of the ogg container reporting the average bitrate, but it doesn't appear to provide a similar bitrate header in the vorbis stream itself. Some programs may not report the bitrate value because of this.
libvorbis provides both headers, avoiding that problem. So to summarize, libvorbis appears to be a better codec choice than vorbis.
General :: Osx - Move A Bunch Of Hardlinked Files From A Box Onto OS X Mac And Preserve The Hardlinks?
Dec 8, 2010I have an rsnapshot backup that I need to move off of a corrupt Linux file system. I need to preserve the internal hardlinks. I've tried rsync -H and using a newer rsync and neither preserve the hardlinks on OS X.
I tried to get rsync -H working and I've isolated it to the file system mounted. I can preserve hard links copying locally (HFS to HFS) but it doesn't preserve when I try to rsync off of a SMB file system mount or AFP file system mount. Is there some mount option solution to getting OS X rsync to obey -H?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Record Through Microphone - Bunch Of Static In The Background
Sep 1, 2011I just bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu onto it. Everything is working fine except for the microphone. Every time I try to record, there's a bunch of static in the background. I've tried changing the sliders on "alsamixer", which helps a little bit, but it never completely goes away. I know it's not a hardware problem because it perfectly clear on Windows (I'm dual booting). I've used Ubuntu a lot in the past, but I don't know much about audio drivers, or even how to figure out which one I'm currently using. My laptop is an Acer AS5750-9851 and I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit.

General :: Script That Displays A Bunch Of Junk (pwd, Date, Yadda Yadda) And Then Prompts The User To Enter A Directory?
Mar 28, 2010I'm still pretty new to linux, and burning through a unix/linux course offered at the local JC. I'm working on an assignment for shell scripting and I need to make a script that displays a bunch of junk (pwd, date, yadda yadda) and then prompts the user to enter a directory so they can view the contents. If it's valid, then it displays the contents. If it isn't then it throws an error message and the script stops. This is done using if, then and else. The problem is, my script always shoots straight to the else, even if the subdir entered IS a valid subdirectory.Here's what I have:

Ubuntu Installation :: Linuxdc++ Deleted All Files From The Downloads Folder
Sep 1, 2011There is some issue with the latest version of LinuxDC++ (version: 1.2.0~pre1~bzr Core version: 0.75). I have upgraded to the latest version a few days back from launchpad repos due to the frequent crashes and system hang-ups. My complete and incomplete downloads folder are same. While my download was going on, LinuxDC++ deleted all the files from the downloads folder.
After about half an hour of tweaking, I updated my database using updatedb, and found my files in ~/.dc++/Filelists/anantwqqwe.BMIU2NFCFXB7ERTSG62PRSQPRJIN63A56EEGO6Q . What does that supposed to mean and why its doing this way? This is the second time this has happened to me, the last time I was unable to locate the deleted files on my system and I suppose they were not there. I use 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10(maverick).

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Wget Downloads Corrupt Files; Gwget Doesn't Work At All?
Dec 26, 2010In order to download files from a particular website, I have to include a header containing the text of a cookie, to indicate who I am and that I am properly logged in. So the wget command ends up looking something like:Code:wget --header "Cookie: user=stringofgibbrish" http://url.domain.com/content/porn.zipNow, this does work in the sense that the command does download a file of the right size that has the expected name. But the file does not contain what it should--the .zip files cannot be unzipped, the movies can not be played, etc Do I need some additional option, like the "binary" mode in the old FTP protocols?I tried installing gwget; it is easier to use, but has no way to include the --header stuff, so the downloads never happen in the first place

Apr 3, 2011The only thread on creating a contact sheet appears to be years old & locked:- (photography) how to create a single jpg /tif contact sheet? So may I ask what's the most common method today of creating a set of contact sheets of a directory of, say, 500 photos (on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid)? The only thing I really want to specify is the grid (e.g., 4 photos by 6 photos, or something like that).
imagemagick

For example:
Code:
montage -label "%f" -frame 5 -pointsize 10 -geometry +4+6 *.jpg index1.jpg
This supposedly creates an 4x6 grid of images with a label under each image (of pointsize 10).Here's another example from the net:

Software :: Variables In Moving / Renaming Files - CURL Downloads
Aug 29, 2010curl -L http://URL/file[1-2].txt -o $(date +%m-%d-%y) newfilename{1,2}.txt
Basically, this command goes to URL, downloads file1.txt and file2.txt, however it saves BOTH files as newfilename1.txt. I would like the script to name the second download (file2.txt) newfilename2.txt. So, before you say to use the -O switch in Curl, please understand that I wish to rename the files so that they are not what they were on the server (names are too long). So file1.txt becomes newfilename1.txt, file2.txt becomes newfilename2.txt. Is this possible? The command I listed works only until the newfilename{1,2}.txt, it always saves as newfilename1.txt

Ubuntu :: Eclipse Plugins Don't Work / Doesn't Install A Bunch Of Libraries And Eclipse Cannot Recognize Standard Java Files?
Jan 19, 2010I have been using Eclipse to program in Java for a long time, and have been using Jigloo for most of my GUI design. Recently I decided to try out the C/C++ plugin. I tried installing it, but it did not work. After many attempts, I finally gave up. However, after uninstalling it I found that Jigloo had stopped working. Any other plugins I try to install now also don't work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling plugins, and reinstalling eclipse, but nothing I have done fixes it. Although eclipse says that the software has been installed, nothing shows up in the features list or the plugins list.
Another problem: When I install eclipse from the repositories, it doesn't install a bunch of libraries and eclipse cannot recognize standard java files.
