| schestowitz | If possible, the angle we're interested in is how free/libre software enables databases and user data to be freed, in the sense that the user has the ability to move around with the data. Little attention is typically paid to this issue, until of course people find out that "cloud computing" takes away all their data, "sucks" it even. | May 27 11:26 |

| schestowitz | TechBytes Video needs to be properly set up. YouTube channel with link to it and formats... simple frame would do. Right now we're stuck with non-consistent SUP. I've uploaded TWIT interview, but it's still messy when it comes to editing video. Every video editors I found was hard to use. | May 27 14:02 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: ok | May 27 14:40 |
| schestowitz | I am workinh on it now | May 27 14:43 |
| schestowitz | Getting some help in the mplayer channel | May 27 14:43 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: uh right ok | May 27 14:45 |
| schestowitz | I'll paste here when it's sorted out | May 27 14:57 |
| schestowitz | [14:18] <schestowitz> hi, does anyone know CLI s/w for making video with one frame and audio? I was told mencoder can do this. | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:19] <schestowitz> 'mencoder "mf://*.JPG" -mf fps=3 -o test.avi -ovc lavc' won't do | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:19] <schestowitz> I need to give as input one audio file (ogg) and one or more images to just be the persistent image/s with the sound playing in the output video | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:20] --> GabrielYYZ has joined this channel (~gabe@230tdev04.codetel.net.do). | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:22] <Kamijou_Touma> schestowitz, have you tried -loop 0 ? | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:22] <Kamijou_Touma> also you will need to set when to stop encoding | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:22] <Kamijou_Touma> not sure what switch that was | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:22] <Kamijou_Touma> else it will go on forever | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:24] <Kamijou_Touma> also you should probably consider using x264 as it can likely encode it with great efficiency | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:24] <schestowitz> yes, that too I can use | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:24] <schestowitz> For input and/or output | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:24] <schestowitz> Thanks | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:24] <Kamijou_Touma> but don't use it with avi | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <schestowitz> so if I have input audio, then an image, how would I put them in the command? | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> either matroska (mkv) or mpeg4-14 (mp4) | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> errr | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> eitehr use one of those | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <schestowitz> mencoder does not accept the syntax above | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> -loop 0 | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> ? | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Lobs> Kamijou_Touma: -loop is not a mencoder option | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> eh? | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Kamijou_Touma> then how did you do that? | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:25] <Lobs> schestowitz: you can do what you want using -fps | May 27 14:58 |
| schestowitz | [14:26] <schestowitz> mencoder VIDEO_FILE -loop 0 OUTPUT_File ... | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:26] <schestowitz> Where would the image go? | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:26] <Kamijou_Touma> schestowitz, as Lobs already pointed out -loop is not supported by mencoder | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <schestowitz> Oh. | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <schestowitz> let me try with mp4 | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <Lobs> schestowitz: i cant remember the order, but to say make a 30 second video from a single frame using mf:// you could use -fps 1/30 (or it could be -fps 30/1, i cant remember atm) | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <schestowitz> " | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <schestowitz> Ogg file format detected. | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:27] <schestowitz> Video stream is mandatory! | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:28] <schestowitz> " | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:28] <schestowitz> That's what I always get | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:28] <schestowitz> I was hoping to combine the audio with a given image (or images) | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:28] <Lobs> schestowitz: -audiofile yourpornoaudio.ogg | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:28] <schestowitz> and image as input_file? | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:29] <Lobs> yes, mf://porno*.jpg -audiofile yourpornoaudio.ogg -ovc blah -oac blah -fps 30/1 -o dirtymovie.avi | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:30] <schestowitz> Hehe. No pr0n | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:30] <schestowitz> Let's try | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:30] <Lobs> i may heve the -fps wrong tho. | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:31] <Lobs> but if you just want to make a video from an image and make it match the audio length ffmpeg may be better, iirc it can loop the image till the video ends with some magic commands. | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:31] <Kamijou_Touma> <Lobs> schestowitz: -audiofile yourpornoaudio.ogg <--- i see what you did there | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:31] <Lobs> if you need to use filters that ffmpeg does not support then mencoder may be better | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:32] <Kamijou_Touma> schestowitz, it's also possible to mux audio in later | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:32] <Lobs> Kamijou_Touma: who you talking to? | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:32] <Kamijou_Touma> nothing, i'm just trying to stop thinking about how delicious boiled lobsters are | May 27 14:59 |
| schestowitz | [14:33] <Lobs> are they? | May 27 15:03 |
| schestowitz | [14:33] <Kamijou_Touma> aren't they? | May 27 15:03 |
| schestowitz | [14:33] <Lobs> never had one myself, nor ever wanted to. | May 27 15:03 |
| schestowitz | [14:33] <Lobs> cant stand seafood. | May 27 15:03 |
| schestowitz | [14:37] <schestowitz> [14:31] <Lobs> but if you just want to make a video from an image and make it match the audio length ffmpeg may be better, iirc it can loop the image till the video ends with some magic commands. | May 27 15:03 |
| schestowitz | [14:37] <schestowitz> Yes, got there now | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:38] <schestowitz> it just does about 3 frames for 3 images, then stops the audio | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:40] <Kamijou_Touma> Lobs, but don't you live near sea/ocean? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:40] <schestowitz> If I give it one input image it gives me a 1-frame video | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:41] <schestowitz> :-) I could make a directory with a million duped files :-) | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:41] <schestowitz> But there has to be a better way ;-) | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:41] <schestowitz> To ensure it plays the sound | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:43] <Lobs> schestowitz: i told you how to make it produce a longer file, use -fps | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:43] <Lobs> you may also need -vf harddup to make sure duplicate frames are encoded, | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:44] <schestowitz> Lobs: ah | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:44] <Lobs> Kamijou_Touma: yes i do, infact i have two sea/oceans within walking distance from each other (if you dont mind a long walk) or a 20 min drive (if traffic is good) | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:44] <schestowitz> I think it mistook the number you -fps | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:44] <schestowitz> maybe I can specify fractions? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:45] <Lobs> schestowitz: what do you mean? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:45] <schestowitz> like 0.0001 frames per second? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:47] <schestowitz> I can do -fps 0.1 | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:47] <schestowitz> ir works in the sense that it makes frames 10 secs apart | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:47] <Kamijou_Touma> Lobs, indian and pacific? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:47] <Kamijou_Touma> but that doesn't make sense | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:48] <Kamijou_Touma> pacific and.... | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:48] <Lobs> schestowitz: why would you do that? | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:48] <Lobs> schestowitz: do as i said, -fps 1/30 (to make a 30 second video from 1 frame) | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:48] <Kamijou_Touma> to make one image span multiple seconds, i presume | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:48] <Lobs> or if you had 2 frames it would be a 60 second video | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:51] <schestowitz> Lobs: oh | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:52] <schestowitz> I thought you typed 30/1 at first | May 27 15:04 |
| schestowitz | [14:52] <Lobs> schestowitz: i typed it both ways, i forget which way it goes, and i have been working since 7am and it's now 1:51am | May 27 15:04 |
