Ubuntu Networking :: Encoding Video With Handbreak Over Network
Jul 17, 2011
I have a Windows machine with a 2TB hard drive containing several raw videos I want to encode with Handbreak. I have two laptops I want to use to cut down on the time. These laptops have very small hard drives, and probably can't hold more than one or two videos at a time. I was wondering if there is a way to keep all the videos on my Windows machine and just use the laptop's to encode over the network, or at least have it automatically copy the raw videos, and put the encoded ones back as needed. Long story short: one big hard drive, three CPUs to encode, need to split the work up quickly.
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 record mydesktop to record what i do in mydesktop. But when i stop record. This box appear. I wait... wait... and wait. But the process encode never complete .
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".
Is there an app or find parameter that can search for video files using a specific (DivX for example) encoding? On Windows, you can do this, so I was hoping there would be some way on Linux whether it's with find or another app. I want to find all (*.avi OR *.divx) on my file system with the DiVX fourcc tag (i think that's what its called)
I'm trying to encode a wmv file to flv with ffmpeg. The video codec is WMV3 and the audio codec is wmap (Windows Media Audio Professional). The command I use is:
As you can probably see the audio codec is not supported. Is there a way to encode WMV3+wmap with ffmpeg or any other tool in Linux? Windows Media Encoder in Windows is able to encode such files to a supported codec. For example: WMV3+WMA2/WMV2+WMA2, I could then encode it in Linux. I'm trying to find a way to directly encode WMV3+wmap in Linux.
I'm trying to encode music videos in a way I can watch them on my Zicplay Zicone Mp4 player. This player seem to have a Rockchip RKNano chipset and is said to support mpeg4 videos. The sample video that came with it seem to have been encoded with xvid and has a resolution of 160x128@15fps. Audio seems to be mp2.
However, when I encode a video with mencoder it will play but with video only sporadically showing and playing way to fast. Does someone know if some special options are required? I'd prefer not to use the Windows utility that came with it.
Basically I've just set up a very basic network connecting my vista laptop to fedora 10 laptop via ethernet. I download from the fedora box to an external hd which I can access from both computers. So, my question is, is it possible to have the same video play on both machines, in sync?
Regardless of distribution, but not Windows, there would be this a/v computer that has a sound card and video card for which any other Linux computer would have access to these two devices. How do I achieve this mess?
I was primarily thinking of having a share on the a/v computer that would expose links to the sound card and video card for which the other computers could simply link to these devices. Does this sound kosher besides the conflict of concurrency?
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 installed qemu/kvm and created a Bridged network connection which works just fine(Windows 7 VM won't work in NAT mode.)
But when I try to use NetworkManager it says that I have no network connection because the network isn't managed, (I set the settings in ifcfg-br0 and ifcfg-eth0 to be managed)
The real problem is that now I can't use my VPN connections (I have many) in NetworkManager.
Is there a way to have both of these pieces of functionality?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
I have been having a problem with K9 Copy whenever I try to convert a DVD to MPEG files using the method without encoding, but for some reason lately it seems to be splitting each episode into about 6 or 7 pieces instead of just one. I never usually have a problem with this, but for some reason it seems to be doing this whenever I try to rip something. On a side note, I am running on Obuntu 9.10 and have K9Copy version 2.3.0 installed. I have tried installing several other versions, but it does the same thing with each.
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 using using ubuntu 11.04, and im using Avidemux (GTK+) whatever date that is, got it a couple days ago from the software center.
I attached some .a/s/s subtitles to the video, and the preview looked great. Encoded the video, and the audio plays like two times faster than the actual video, so by about halfway through the video, the audio is done and im left in silence with the video still going.
I set the video to MPEG-4 AVC, attach .a/s/s subs, leave audio alone, and encode using default option (Single pass-quality quantisizer)
I have been trying to download a .tar.gz file for a while, and gedit says it has not been able to detect the character encloding. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 5730z.
I am looking for a method to add new encoding to Gnome Terminal.The encoding i want to add is MIK (Bulgarian DOS cyrillic encoding) and it is not found in Terminal -> Set character encoding -> Add or remove list.Is there a way to add this encoding to the list ? Or is there some other terminal or telnet / ssh client which allows me to add encodings ?
First and foremost is Avidemux. Somewhere between Fedora 11, 12 and 13 Avidemux lost the capability to encode audio streams in AAC format. I've installed all pertinent packages for it and for AAC, and even though AAC is available to other programs (Banshee, SoundJuicer, etc), alas it is not in Avidemux. I read somewhere that since the newer version of Avidemux now uses a plug-in architecture, support for a lot of formats might be missing as they get ported.
I use Avidemux as usually I rip my DVDs into .mp4 files which I serve up from a Linux box at home and stream them to my PS3, or simply to load a bunch onto my laptop to watch on the move or when I'm on call at the hospital (like I am right now)...
Kind of related to this that I remember not too long ago, I was able to convert a DVD into PSP's mp4 format from DVD::Rip, IIRC directly from the application, but last time I used it, it only seems to have support for AVI, OGM and MPEG container formats. Maybe somthing changed along the way that I'm not aware of.
It looks to boil down to the fact that the package avidemux-plugins from RPMFusion is missing the necessary plugin... I'll go check why is that.
I'm trying to convert Flac audio file to AAC file using command line. It's working fine. Now I want to do the same using fifo And it's freezing.So could you tall me what I'm doing wrong.
I wanted to know how to determine the encoding of a file which was uploaded by FTP. I found the thread /newbie/47637-how-check-encoding-text.html which points to the right information (by using the command file) but it doesn't help me in my case. Take a look yourself:Code: # file testutf8.phptestutf8.php: PHP script text As you see, Linux (Debian Lenny in my case) detects the file as PHP script text because of the code within the file (that's my guess at least).Is there another way to check how this file was encoded?
