#!/bin/sh ## ## Nautilus ## SCRIPT: 30d_1mkvCapFile_CONVERTto_FLV-VP6F-MP3_ffmpeg2pass_PRELIM.sh ## ## PURPOSE: Using 'ffmpeg', this script converts an input movie file ## to a '.flv' container movie file. ## ## This script is intended to use as input '.mkv' (Matroska container) ## movie files that are 'lossless' H264-and-PCM ## screen-and-audio-captures from a 'XscreenANDpulseAUDIO_CAPTURE' ## script --- but it may work with other movie file inputs, that is, ## different container formats, such as '.flv' or '.avi' or '.mpg'. ## ## The input video stream (possibly near LOSS-LESS) is converted to ## a *LOSSY* VP6F video stream and the input audio stream (possibly ## near LOSS-LESS) is converted to a *LOSSY* MP3 audio stream. ## ## METHOD: Uses 'zenity --info' to show info on how this utility works. ## ## Uses 'zenity --entry' to prompt for an image size (x,y-pixels) ## for the output movie file. ## ## Runs 'ffmpeg' in two passes --- once with '-f flv -an -vcodec vp6f' ## parms (no audio) --- and once with '-f flv' and '-vcodec vp6f' and ## '-acodec libmp3lame' parms. ## ## Runs 'ffmpeg' in an 'xterm' so that messages can be seen. ## ## When the conversion is done, this script ## shows the '.flv' file in a movie player. ## ## REFERENCES: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1392026.html ## "HOWTO: Proper Screencasting on Linux" by verb3k ## Also web search on terms like 'ffmpeg flv vp6'. ## ## HOW TO USE: In Nautilus, select a (.mkv) movie file. ## Then right-click and choose this script to run (name above). ## ############################################################################## ## Started: 2011may17 ## Changed: 2011dec11 Removed '--no-wrap' from the 'zenity --entry' prompt for ## image size. '--no-wrap' is not implemented for '--entry'. ## Changed: 2012may24 Changed script name in comments above and touched up ## the comments.

Example: -acodec libmp3lame ## -ab val = audio bitrate in bits/sec (default = 64k) ## -ar val = audio sampling frequency in Hz (default = 44100 Hz) ## -ac channels - default = 1 ## ## -vcodec codec - to force the video codec. Example: -vcodec mpeg4 ## Try "ffmpeg -formats" ## -r val = frame rate in frames/sec ## -b val = video bitrate in kbits/sec (default = 200 kbps) ## -s val = frame size, wxh where w and h are pixels or abbrevs: ## qqvga = 160x120 ## qvga = 320x240 ## cif = 352x288 ## vga = 640x480 ## svga = 800x600 ## xga = 1024x768 ## sxga = 1280x1024 ## uxga = 1600x1200 ## ## Some other useful params: ## ## Audio: ## -an = disable audio recording ## ## Video: ## -vn = disable video recording ## -y = overwrite output file(s) ## -aspect (4:3, 16:9 or 1.3333, 1.7777) ## -croptop pixels ## -cropbottom pixels ## -cropleft pixels ## -cropright pixels ## -padtop (bottom, left, right) ## -padcolor <6 digit hex number> ## -ss position = seek to given position, in secs or hh:mm:ss[.xxx] ## -t duration - format is hh:mm:ss[.xxx] ## -fs file-size-limit ## -target type - where type is vcd or svcd or dvd or ..., then ## bitrate, codecs, buffersizes are set automatically. ## -pass n, where n is 1 or 2 ## ## Other: ## -debug ## -threads count ####################################################################### ############################## ## Show the OUTPUT movie file. ############################## if test ! -f "$FILEOUT" then exit fi # MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/vlc" # MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/mplayer" # MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/gmplayer -vo xv" # MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/smplayer" # MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/totem" MOVIEPLAYER="/usr/bin/ffplay -stats" xterm -fg white -bg black -hold -geometry 90x32+100+100 \ -e $MOVIEPLAYER "$FILEOUT" ## NOTE: 'totem' (based on gstreamer, version ?) tends to play ## only a second or so of an mpeg1video that I created ## with ffmpeg. ## But 'ffplay' does a good job.
