i have installed transmaggedon software but it fails to convert because quicktime muxer plugin is not installed.
This plugin is not available in the repositories.
How can i get this video converter to work or what else can i do to be able to convert videos to 3gp format?
Can I ask for some advice in converting a video (from my phone) which is a 3gp file into something more universal. I use audokonverter for audio files and this gives me a menu right-click option to convert a song from (say) wav to mp3. Is there an equivalent for videos? I am using opensuse 11.4 64 bit and have mplayer, xine and vlc installed plus the necessary codecs. Or is it simpler to use ffmpeg in a c/l environment

At my work I am using lot of PDF files which are created using Openoffice Calc (Spreadsheet). I want to convert those PDFs to Calc file again for editing. Currently I am using a windows Machine with able2extract pdf converter for converting PDFs to .xls file. But it is not ideal solution for Linux and Openoffice users here.

Specifically, I hope to avoid having to untar the .tgz and simply convert it to the .tar.gz format.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to convert a 3gp (mobile phone video) file to PAL DVD format (which is I believe MPEG2 video and one of a few audio choices, in an MPEG PS container). But while the file plays fine in mplayer and vlc, my efforts to convert it, using either VLC or devede, always seem to result in either the converted video being speed up (noticeably, we're talking twice as fast or so not 5%), or in the audio going mickey-mouse. How can I get the file converted correctly? Bearing in mind it needs to be PAL not NTSC (so a lot of stuff I might find online isn't going to work as-is)

1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic
2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.
I have 2 drives mirrored via windows software raid and I plan to toss the drives into an Ubuntu server soon where they will also be mirrored. The server will have another drive for booting. What is the best way to get these mirrored drives into ext format while preserving my data? I plan to use software raid in Ubuntu as well. My only idea is to format a 3rd drive as ext and copy all the files over, seems inefficient though.

I have been searching for a while for a program to convert .flac files I rip off of cd's with my laptop (running Fedora 11) to a usable iTunes format for my desktop (running Win XP). The cd drive on my desktop is currently broken, so my fix of ripping on my desktop, then using Rhythmbox on my laptop is temporarily unavailable.
Any suggestions? I've tried audiokonverter, soundconverter, audio-convert-mod and each come up with errors or wouldn't install.
I need to manually convert an string ( like with echo ) to a DES crypt format to be inserted inside a /etc/shadow file, does anybody knows how can I do that?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIts no secret that flash video performance is sub-par in Ubuntu. I have a Zotac Mag HD ND01 that I have connected to my 40" LCD tv and have a minimal Ubuntu 9.10 installed running openbox and firefox/boxee/xbmc
My primary use for running a web browser is so I could watch live streaming hockey games in HD. However, thanks to Flash's performance (and yes, i've tried the latest versions, even the 091510 version in labs) in full screen mode, watching hockey is not possible because its way too choppy.
Now, on my desktop computer in my office, I can watch the same stream without issue. So, my question is, is there any way to take this live stream (which is using Flowplayer), and re-encode it on-the-fly so I can stream it to my htpc in a format it likes (such as MKV i guess, it can play 720p/1080p mkv files without issue)?
My desktop is a Core i7 920 overclocked to 4.2Ghz with 6GB DDR3 ram, so I would hope its powerful enough for the cause. Also, the desktop is running Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on a dual boot, so a method in either is fine.
I have a collection of music videos of various ages, and want to consolidate the codecs into mp4 files with the following criteria:
1) Retain the same directory structure and same name, hopefully with something like "/music/Videos (Encoded)/" and "/music/Videos (Failed Encoding)/" (Note: Using UTF-8 filenames)
2) Prefer to do this all in one batch; terminal commands/ bash script = awesome
3) Keep the highest quality video without having to encode everything the same (some widescreen, some hd, some with super low resolution)
4) Retain the audio stream untouched (plus, some help on what command to do to convert it to a good format) and, hopefully, to encode with settings that allow for universal apple playback (Handbrake as a great preset for this)
I'm converting a movie that is .mkv to .avi and it's taking a long time. I'm using a command. Could it be that it's a movie and it's a 720p movie?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recorded a TV show on my pc using mythbuntu software (ubuntu version of mythtv). It cut out all the commercials and then transcoded it to a nice 40 min nuv file that I put onto a usb thumb drive. Now it's portable and vlc can play the file...on a pc. I want to burn it onto a DVD so I can put it in any NTSC DVD player. Also, the file was recorded at 480x480 and I want to change the size to widescreen (16:9). Additionally, the top of the screen recorded a thin horizontal line of junk that needs to be deleted.
Now, I've googled around and found this line in ffmpeg that should work:
ffmpeg -i V-RedSky.nuv -croptop 4 -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 RedSky.mpg
The new 16:9 video size is great, the annoying horizontal line got cropped, and I got a nice mpg file...but the audio is now out of sync. I tried ffmpeg with fewer options and the audio still got out of sync.
So, I'm thinking I should try different software. Maybe mencoder. How could I put the above ffmpeg options into mencoder?
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a rmvb video converter that works with ubuntu. There is a windows rmvb converter, but when I try to use it through wine it either crashes while converting or just doesn't work period.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a way to batch convert 720p video files from avc1 to xvid in Ubuntu 10.04. I'm not terribly concerned about file size, but I do wish to retain the picture quality as much as possible. I believe the audio is encoded as aac, which is fine for my purposes.
What would be the best and easiest way to do this? I've tried using Handbrake. During my first attempt, I had it using ffmpeg to convert to MPEG-4, but that just gave me a super-low quality video at twice the file size. Trying h.264 now, so we'll see how that works out. But just in case it doesn't pan out so well, what other ways do you recommend?
I was thinking I'd write a bash script to reencode the files one by one, but the problem is that I have very little knowledge about codecs and containers and whatnot - so I wouldn't know what parameters I would pass ffmpeg/mencoder.

I am running Natty with the 2.6.39 kernel.
I'm finding it very difficult to play a video stream of .mov format. The Totem Media player gives me an error : GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file
Even Real Media Player for linux is giving me an error: General error: HXR_CORRUPT_FILE (0x80040091)
Even VLC hangs on trying to play it.
(BTW the file isnt corrupt though, its apple's last night's iphone press conference from their official website - [URL])
