I have installed the latest ffmpeg using this tutorial : HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264.
What ever I do I always get the same error when trying to use ffmpeg with the new presets setting. I've searched forums and google the whole last day and now I'm pretty lost.
Here is the command I use (I've stripped it down to it's simplest form.):
Code:
$ ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/input.mkv -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_slow ~/Desktop/output.mp4
and this is the error:
[Code]....
I've tried changing the bitrate, adding -pass 1, bitrate tolerance, quality based etc... I've tried at least 60 different things... reinstall ffmpeg countless times using different tutorials. It's always the same error.
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.
The only preset for mobile phone is mp3. All video presets are gone...how to install them? Im using lucid atm

Code: Select allffmpeg -i infile -vcodec libx264 -vpre ipod640 -b 250k -bt 50k -acodec libfaac -ab 56k -ac 2 -s res.mp4
which works good. I was wondering if I could use larger resolution presets, but
find /usr -iname '*.ffpreset' only gives
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-360p.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-1080p.ffpreset

#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-720p50_60.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-720p.ffpreset
with only 2 presets for libx264.
I installed ffmpeg from deb-multimedia. Is there a package which provides further preset files? There should be e.g. hq, max etc..
[URL] In Windows just click "Oua ou vivo" (Listen Live) and away you go (WMP). Can also select one of "S os melhore" (Just the hits) and it plays. In Ubuntu I've downloaded Amarok, MPlayer, Rhythm box, Streamtuner, & VLC, but am not going to live long enough to figure out how to stream with any of them (although "S os melhores" plays OK). how to stream this & any other WMP station. No problem with Flash stations such as [URL] by the way.

How to get back my permissions?
I have had such good sucess with Ubuntu that this took me by surprise. Last week after an update I was suddenly without sound in Karmic Koala. Fortunately. I also have Lucid Lynx and the sound is OK there. I really gave it a dedicated try but was unable to get any sound.
[Code]...
Recently, I suddenly lost all sound coming in from firefox. Other sound works fine (e.g. Amarok), but I can't get any sound from type of source on the internet. There's also no sound coming from Opera.
Am running 10.04 from upgrade.
The startup sound just desappeared. The Gnome Login Sound is still on the list of starting programs and the command is right (/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play id=desktop-login description=GNOME Login). What makes it more weird is, that it works fine on all other users. I started to suffer from this problem since I tried to change the sound (I have done it before with no problems). At the same time with changing the startup sound I installed PulseAudio volume control. Could these things have something doing with my startup sound desappearence?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI think Virtualbox tried to do something to the kernal as I got an error refering to kernal version when I started Vbox.After that I had no sound.
I've tried to go through various sound fix threads but so far no success.
I've performed ALSA Upgrade:
Code:
paul@paul:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
Compiled on Oct 6 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-25-generic (SMP).
The output of aplay -l:
[Code].....
i am using ubuntu 10.04 lts "lucid lynx", and has been encountering problems with audio recently.
i found out for some reason that my system fails to produce sound through pulseaudio, especially when an application is using it (e.g audacious).
the details of the problem:
1. i am using the pulseaudio equalizer from the repository, and i set a program (e.g. audacious) to use pulseaudio so that i can activate the equalizer.
2. while playing, all of my other applications lose the ability to produce any sound, and changing back to alsa during playback (which is using pulseaudio) in audacious indicates that the device is busy. examples include the loss of sound while playing a video from videos.
rough breakdown of what i want to (be able to) do: have sound for all applications using it, for example being able to play a video in videos from my browser and play music in audacious simultaneously.
is there a workaround for this? i'd like to think that there is, but so far my search returned nil.
I'm having a bit of a furball trying to change a soundcard. I took out an Audigy card. KDE detected the removal of the old card and asked me if I wanted to remove the drivers. I said yes. I went into the bios and enabled the onboard sound. Now I've got no sound so I guess I've got some configuration to do. So far:
[code]....
My sound was working, but I got a new SPDIF cable, so I switched it to digital. It worked fine. But then I restarted and now it's gone.
aplay -l tells me I have no soundcard but lspci -v lists
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 836c

Memory at f9ff4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
So my soundcard is there.
I was trying to get help with video tearing but now I've lost all sound. This happened after using these two commands:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
I tried this:
ubuntu-bug audio
and got:
package audio does not exist
and:
ubuntu-bug -p alsa-base
and got:

Just upgraded to 9.10 and lost the ability to use my scanner with VueScan. No help at their site or the Avasys Corp. site, where downloads of the "driver" refuse to load due to various conflicts. Has anyone gotten VueScan to work with 9.10 and how on earth did you do it? (Scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Natty Narwhal and everything was working. Then I moved it to my HDTV, and I had overscan issues. Following some advice I found online, I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf with new information including a ModeLine.
Upon restart, I get my BIOS screen, the Ubuntu splash, then... nothing. The display goes to sleep. I can ping the computer, and everything seems to work except I have no video.
I did backup my xorg.conf file, but I don't know how to get to it without a display. Hindsight tells me I should have given myself a way to remotely control my computer before messing with xorg, but you live and learn.
I've read online that there is a way from the login screen to get to Terminal without loading the desktop environment, but I can't get to the login screen.
I've also tried using a Linux LiveCD to access my filesystem, and that works to view files, but I have no root privileges.
Is there...
...a way to get to Terminal without loading the login screen?
...a way to give myself root access to my harddrive from a LiveCD?
...something else to try?
The old Nvidia GT220 recently died in my HTPC and I replaced it with a new GT430. Sound over HDMI worked beautifully with the old card (after much trial & error,) but has now stopped working with the new card.Forgot to mention that everything appears to be unmuted in alsamixer. When I run "aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/ sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" I get no sound. I do however get sound from the headphone jack when I do the same command for the onboard sound card (0,0)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a very large graphics library that I use regularly, but all files are in WMF format. Prior to upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 (was previously on 10.04), these files would preview in Nautilus, and GIMP would automatically convert them when they were opened.
Now, these files no longer preview in Nautilus, nor do they open and convert in GIMP. Package libwmf0.2-7 is installed.
lost all sound on flash after firefox updated (or shortly thereafter)
in other words videos and the like are silent (which is a kind of a blessing, really).

flash 1.0.10 (tried r&r already)

sound works great everywhere else, including mp3's on web through firefox. i searched the forum, of course, but didn't find anything that seemed relevant or up-to-date.
I lost front audio after alsa upgrade to 1.0.23 headphone and mic doesn't work anymore . Anybody out there who can help a newbee.

I recently purchased a new motherboard and processor to replace an existing system. I transferred the video card. OS remains the same, Ubuntu 10.10 x64. Video worked fine in the first system (eVGA motherboard, Intel E6600 CPU, 4GB RAM), but the old motherboard had a SATA controller issue. New system: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5, AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb, 8GB RAM
Transferred hardware:
Graphics: eVGA nVidia 8800GT,
Monitor 0: Hanns-G JW199D 1440x900@60Hz
Monitor 1: Gateway FPD1975W 1440x900@60Hz
The Problem:
1. Fresh OS install, everything starts up as expected, login, etc.
2. I use the Additional Drivers link from the menu and select the recommended nVidia driver and enable it.
3. After reboot, the following things happen:
3a. BIOS
3b. Ubuntu startup scripts
3c. Ubuntu logo with spinning dots
3d. Monitor goes black
3e. Monitor notifies it has lost sync
I believe 3d is where I would normally get the login dialog. I can use failsafe mode, but everything I've tried to fix the graphics display hasn't worked. I've even tried to load the latest nVidia driver, nvidia-config, nvidia-settings, etc. There are some options I've tried where the nvidia-x command returns "can't find device". I've tried to modify the xorg.conf file, to no success.
Any ideas what I can do to resolve the error? I'm not that strong on the xorg.conf file, but all I've read is that it's not too necessary anymore. Though, it was modified in my old system to get Twinview working. I've looked through a bunch of log files, but I may not have been looking in the correct log file.
i lost my bottom panel while trying to configure. any way to get it back?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using XFCE on Debian Squeeze.
Last night, when I logged in, I only got the desktop with whatever icons I have set on the desktop. The menu bar and the taskbars have disappeared completely.
Is there a way to recover this? Is this a common behaviour? I used to get this problem when I tried out QIMO.
Alright so I just upgraded my 11.3 x64 to 11.4 using zypper dup and have now lost the ability to play digital output 5.1. Before doing the upgrade I was running alsa rather than phonon but apparently the upgrade decided to enable phonon, and I no longer show digital surround output. The soundcard I have is a CM8738 and I am using the coaxial output on it hooked into my receiver. In system settings->multimedia->phonon->speaker setup the soundcard shows and I have the ability to select different profiles.
However the digital output settings only show stereo and the sound output device the only one listed is CM8738 Digital Stereo (IEC958). I have selections for analog 5.1 and analog 7.1 but neither put anything out of the digital connection. As I said I was running alsa before and was able to do straight digital pass through which allowed my receiver to do the decoding and use all of my channels. How can I setup phonon to use digital passthrough, or switch back to alsa and get that setup again.
Im running 11.3 w/ KDE 4.6. I was using Kmix today without issue and accidentally (perhaps out of curiosity) clicked the 'close' box on the tab which presented all of the volume controls. The thing is, I cannot seem to find out how to recreate it. I seem to recall there was some option to create multiple volume control tabs, but I cannot locate.
Could someone point me in the right direction on how to recreate the tab or delete the kmix settings/config which I assume would re-create defaults?
On inspection I find that my collection of video files is a mixture of .flv and .mp4 formats. The latter play OK on my A110 network media player but the latter do not. There is no sound from either but I think that is another problem as VLC works well on all of them.
My question assuming I cannot get the media player to play .flv files is should I convert to mp4 and will the HD files suffer as a result? If it is OK to convert, which program to use. My system is openSUSE 11.4 with KDE desktop.
Since the update to Squeeze, I've lost the ability to paste text by pressing both right and left mouse buttons. I'm using an EeePC, so I have no middle (scroll) button. I use this a lot,because I copy-and-paste IPA pronunciations of words onto worksheets I use at the school I work for*. *input the IPA symbols myself aside from choosing them from lists of symbols in LibreOffice excruciating when you've got to do it every day...
