MOV to kino approved format
|
|
| sk8r-365 2007-11-23, 1:15 am |
| Have this great digital camera which makes *only* MOV format movies. I
want to convert them to a file format kino can use (PAL, NTSC). However,
after many hours scouring the Web, I've found no useful means to do so
on Debian Etch.
I'm open to FOSS suggestions suitable for use on Debian Etch
- tried WinFF (.31-i386 on an Athlon CPU), but it fails whenever
I clicked the 'Add" button:
GTKWindowStateEventCB :TPromptDialog new_window_state=0 changed_mask=1
GTKWindowStateEventCB :TPromptDialog 0 [RMVDStPr]
TGtk2WSCustomListBox.SetBorder TODO

I guess you want to convert from .mov to .avi? I am not familiar with
kino but a quick look at the web site seems to indicate it will work
with avi.
mplayer should do this but I don't know what sort of codecs are
shipped with Debian. Might be better to use the svn mplayer and the
codecs from mplayer:
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rel...0071007.tar.bz2
It can be a tricky compile though; my experiences in my sig file.

look at transcode and/or mencoder (mplayer).

Andrew,
Appreciate that you answered and your reply indirectly assisted in
finding a solution:
using this script from http://en.linuxreviews.org/MPlayer
How to convert a directory full of Apple Quicktime .mov files to avi and mp3
for fl in *.mov
do
mencoder ${fl} -o ${fl/mov/avi} -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc
mplayer -ao pcm -vo null -vc dummy -dumpaudio -dumpfile ${fl/mov/mp3} ${fl/mov/avi}
#rm ${fl/mov/avi} <-- don't want to rm original
done
Thanks to Gunnar Wrobel !
And, by following these instructions from http://wiki.debian.org/MPlayer
I added mplayer and mencoder. Plus, because the camera uses capital
letters in the file extension, it was necessary to rename them to lower
case for the script.

Excellent! Glad you found a solution fairly quickly. The mplayer saga
is not confined to Debian, thanks for the link where I read a little
more carefully the Debian angle.
Mind you if you ever become addicted to mplayer / mencoder / gmplayer
don't forget that the svn mplayer is the version as the makers
intended and it is truly a wonderful piece of work. In its unretouched
form it will probably never feature in a major distro though. Can be a
bit of a bugger to compile: I wrote a walkthrough for Ubuntu
before I moved to Slackware that may have some relevance to Debian:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=558538
All the very best,
Andrew

I have won; but my victory is soiled, and has no pride.
