Is there any single application that convert all the following video file formats (3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, gif, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid) to Flv?
I am trying to capture a live video from my digital camera using Windows 7.
Live Movie maker and Windows Movie maker 2.6 do not have "capture" menu item.
Apparently, Windows Movie maker 2.1 has a "capture" menu item. However, I don't know how to download it on Windows 7.
Any suggestion?
I am using ffmpeg like this e.g.:
ffmpeg -i input.wmv -ss 60 -t 60 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.wmv
to cut out a section of a large file. The -ss part works fine but the -t is ignored. That is, it correctly removes the first -ss seconds but then just keeps going to the end of the input with the copy.
Is there a way to use ffmpeg to cut off the end of a video without recoding it?
I'm trying to build a simple video chat client on the mac as a little project and I want it to be able to go over my own little server and arrive at the other end (so going over the internet rather just locally). So my question is if there are any references I should look for online on how to handle something like this on the server side and such. Any links or pointers would be a great help, thanks!
I have heard that video editing uses the processor, while gaming uses the graphics card, and the more RAM the better for both. Is this true, and is it different for certain operations, like rendering and effects?
I'm looking for most common video format that will run most of PDA's, ipod, iphone, symbian devices, google android, palm etc.
I want to convert some divx movies, but I don't want to convert them again and again for new device.
Thanks
i made a web-application that upload on my server some images and a mp3 file!
i want to make a video/slideshow from several images with some effects on linux!
what programs do u recommend except ffmpeg?
I'm watching something on my MCE and I can jump back to see something. How can I (if at all) extract a piece of that video that is recorded on my drive somewhere?
If I press record it starts recording from now and past live buffer is lost. Is there a plugin that can do this?
I'm about to launch a new site that allows user to both upload/stream audio and video and I don't know anything about the server side of things. My original plan was to just use a dedicated server through Hostgator but from what I'm reading, Cloud hosting or Load balanced clustered is the best way to go for what Im trying to do. All the articles seem to have an agenda to sell you on an affiliate web host so how do I really need to do this?
hi all,
i'm looking for a hardware-videoplayer with the following features:
support for all kind of video formats from the web (xvid, divx, mpeg ..) w/o problems
slots for memory cards like cf/sd
usb connector for external devices like hd/usb sticks
updateable firmware
support for .srt files (subtitles) - option to change eg. fontsize
currently i'm having a dvd player with memory slot but it only supports a few formats and it's very annoying having to convert anything - mostly it doesn't work.
thx in advance
I'd like to encode uncompressed video into compressed avi or mpeg4. Was wondering what program I should look at getting to do such a task. Videos are between 3 and 20 minutes long, and range anywhere from 1.3 to 10 GBs in uncompressed .avi form (fraps).

Hello,
I'd like to take audio track from a video clip in FLV container and save it to something playable by portable music players. Are there any easy to use tools for that? I know how to do that using console tools (mplayer+lame/oggenc), but I'd like to get something clickable, preferably for GNOME.
Thanks!
I have a video file where one audio channel is much louder than the other. Which app can I use to allow me to take the louder channel and place on the low channel? I know it won't be stero anymore but mono sound on both channels is better than unbalanced stereo channel
Hi.
I've just made the switch to Ubuntu on my main PC and I've been looking for a media player that can:
Play all the usual video formats
Rate (and ideally, tag) each file
Display thumbnails for each file
Other than that there isn't much I'm after.
Banshee comes close, but doesn't display thumbnails.
I've Google'd lots but I'm running out of search terms to try.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers!
Probably a rookie question but here goes...I am looking to buy a new video card for a few year old PC which will be used as a media centre. The card I am looking at is this one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173708, with the main aim being to play blu-ray films. In the product description it states that the card has 7.1 audio channel support, does this mean it will play the sound from the blu-ray through the HDMI, or do I need a separate sound card?
Is there a way to convert video, lets say, from .vob to .avi? (and to make it 'smaller', for ex. DVD 4.2 GB to .avi file of 700 MB)
If it is possible, which one would you recommend, as being the best, for the Windows XP?
I'm interested in some simple program, something that beginners can easily use.
I have h264 videos, and currently we're using Apple's HTTP Video Streaming tools and mediafilesegmenter to segment these files.
What I need to do is to switch to alternative segmenter based on this very popular open-sourced segmenter
The problem is that this segmenter does not just take any video, but takes only MPEG-TS videos. So I have to convert my h264 videos to TS first.
I can do that with ffmpeg. I'm using this:
ffmpeg -i encoded.mp4 -vcodec h264 -i encoded.mp4 -sameq -acodec aac -strict experimental -f mpegts output.ts
But this creates fairly larger output. And the reason is that Apple's segmenter keeps the same codec - AVC and the same audio codec - AAC, whereas ffmpeg changes video format to MPEG Video.
The question is: can I somehow keep the same AVC video codec and still convert video to a transport stream?
So my goal is to keep the same video quality and same video codecs as Apple's medifilesegmenter does.
UPD: Okay... it seems that ffmpeg CAN split videos into segments:
ffmpeg -i encoded.mp4 -c copy -map 0 -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_list test.m3u8 -segment_format mpegts segment%d.ts
That's still has one problem:
it doesn't create http live streaming index file. (-segment_list creates a file with list of segments, but it doesn't look like HLS index). So, you still have to create index file
I have a Panasonic HDC-SD5 video carmera which records in HD format to a memory card. It also came with a DVD burner which burns this format to DVD which I need a blu-ray player to view. I can get about 30 min worth of video on 1 DVD.
My problem is the software that comes with the camera is not very good at all so I am constantly just using the 'backup' feature in the included burner (connect drive to camera, push backup, and it spits out up to 4 DVDs worth of HD video). Now that I have the video backed up on DVD in the HD format (blu-ray), is there any free software that I can use to edit this video and create other HD DVD's with my own menus, transitions, etc?
I was considering buying Pinnacle Studio but I wanted to exaust any free options before biting the bullet.
Any suggestions for software I could use or anything else I could do to make dealing with this AVCHD format any easier that I am unaware of?
Edit: Sorry forgot to include that I am running Windows Vista 64-bit.
Edit: Still haven't found anything that is truely free. Everything has limitations by either time, watermark the video or degrade the quality.
Edit: So I still haven't found really anything, so is there some software I can use to convert the video to another format that I then could use to edit the video?
