FFConvert - multimedia converter
Can FFConvert be modified to also use avconv?
Hi Shinobar:
With Ubuntu (and I think debian) now building using the avconv fork from ffmpeg, some newer Pups --those based on Ubuntu (and perhaps debian) binaries may lack ffmpeg but include avconv. See my post here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 377#795377 and the links it gives. Although using winff as I suggested there is one possibility, it would be preferable to have a "home-grown" pet usable in most Puppies, regardless of their derivation. I couldn't find any way to configure ffmpeg so that it would alternatively use ffmpeg or avconv.
Thanks in advance,
mikesLr

ffconvert doesn't do anything "special" besides wrapping calls to binaries. So long as the 2 different forks still use the same arguments, all you need is a symlink or hard link to the other.

Re: Can FFConvert be modified to also use avconv?
ffconvert v1.3 and later supports avconv(libav).
# v1.3 - 17 Jun 2012: support avconv, fix unsupported codec error message, gtkdialog to avoid yaf-splash incompatibility, vcd for the default

Can I use FFConvert on puppy to convert mp4 to 3gp?
I don't see such a choice in FFConvert.
I tried and directly with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.3gp
and returned me an error:
"Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height".

I installed and used a windows application through Wine, Winx video converter.
It took 96 minutes to convert a 120MB movie from mp4 to 3gp.
At convertfiles.com it took me 28 minutes, from which upload was the 25 minutes
and 3 minutes download(74MB),
So I guess the online converter is a better solution, I thought that the conversion in the pc would be much faster.

Hi there,
i'm new on linux. would like to convert a video to watch it on my mobile phone, i tried 1.4.2 but it converted it well, but the mobile unable to play this converted video. i attached a pic this settings works well. how i convert video with codec FFODIVX?

Nokia Asha 302 setups
Playing with FFConvert in Precise Puppy, I managed to make some setups to convert videos for Nokia phones. I named the setups as Nokia Asha 302 because that's my phone model and I'm not sure if they will work for other models and brands (I think they might do the job at least for most mobile phones with 320x240 screen resolution). The widescreen setups are configured to convert HD videos while maintaining the original proportions, as by converting to full screen they would expand and look narrow. Since HD videos are made for screens wider than the ones of these Nokia phones, videos converted with the widescreen setups will not fill the phone screen, but play with a top and bottom black frame.
I also made a setup, named HD2CRT, to adapt HD videos to 1024x768 monitors. Because they're made for wide LCD/LED monitors, videos in high quality 720p and 1080p are usually played with delays or stutters under a 1024x768 sized screen (often CRT but also some LCD monitors). With this setup the videos will still be high quality and big, that's why they will take a lot of time to convert, yet they'll be in most cases smaller than the original file. Also, the videos won't fill the screen - you will get a top and bottom black frame, since the original videos were recorded for wide screens.
Always remember that the time it takes to convert a video and the file size of the resulting video will depend on the duration of the video in minutes, the quality settings for the new video file, the target device (phone, computer, etc.), and the speed of your computer microprocessor.
To add these setups to FFConvert:
- If FFConvert is running, close it. Then type in console:
- Copy & paste the following at the end of the file:
- Save and close. Then you're ready to start using them.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you apply a setup, make sure that the default video screen size and audio bitrate values are correct. For example, in the screenshot below, you can see that FFConvert did not apply the default screen size configured in the setup, it set the screen size used for the last file conversion instead! And the Adv. options field must be blank, otherwise conversion stops with an error.

You seem to have libxvid on the ffmpeg you have.

Hi William, thanks for the link. I am really struggling to understand the finer points of codecs/containers etc. My aim is to re-format some of my videos so that they will play on my Samsung xcover B550 phone. I am trying to understand the parameters/format of a video that I took on that phone (if I can duplicate that format I hope the phone will play videos loaded from external sources as well as it's own internal videos).
Here is a screenshot of the output from two differnt programmes (gnome mplayer and ffconvert) showing the supposed parameters used to create the phone's internally recorded video.There seems to be a slight bit of discrepancy between the two.
I don't yet understand the relationship between divx, xvid and MP4V so will continue to experiment with conversion.
I also don't know if the phone may have some form of DRM protection which is blocking me - but when I try to play the converted videos that i load from external sources the phone tells me "unsupported file type" - even though the file has a .mp4 suffix just the same as the internal vids. I'm obviously using the wrong codec inside the mp4 container.
I'm also trying to understand the difference between MP4V and M4V - I have found some information but by crikey there is a lot to understand. Posing a valid question is hard when you can't see the wood for the trees.

Yes, it is tricky. Could you post the results of:
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i some_video_that_works_on_your_phone
May not help find the conversion details to use for ffconvert, but may help if different from your ffconvert info you already posted screenshot of.
William
EDIT: It could be that your player needs that FourCC specified (-tag:v DIVX maybe), but bit rates and frame rates and more could also be critical (for both the video and the audio):.
You also might need to adjust the resultant video quality (once you get the codecs etc correct) - that might mean encoding with -q:v numeric_quality_value (e.g. -q:v 5 or higher quality: -q:v 3 etc) but I'm not myself sure since I'm more used to encoding with libx264, which probably doesn't work on your Samsung xcover device. Maybe something here will have something useful:
http://superuser.com/questions/309822/f ... rt-to-divx
And the following is quite informative:
https://evilsoup.wordpress.com/2013/02/ ... g-guide-2/
EDIT2: I think something like the following might work for you greengeek (if suits your device) since your ffmpeg seems to have libopencore-amrnb enabled, which is a narrow band speech encoder (the ffmpeg I use doesn't have that enabled, but the following convert commandline works on my linux using libmp3lame for audio instead though I also had to use an mkv (output.mkv) container rather than output.mp4 (output.avi also worked). You'd maybe still have to tweak the command or find something similar in ffconvert:
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -y -i video_to_convert.mp4 -r 15.214 -s 320x240 -c:v libxvid -q:v 3 -tag:v DIVX -c:a libopencore-amrnb -ac 1 -ar 8000 -b:a 12k output.mp4
I don't, however, have a Samsung xcover device to test on so may be other issues. And, note that with some much older ffmpeg there is a chance the order of the command arguments would need modified (I can't remember). Hopefully okay though. Note that if libopencore-amrnb isn't accepted (though I think it will) you could try simple audio encoder called pcm_s16le or perhaps libmp3lame - if your Samsung can decode these (for these latter you'd probably want to change audio bitrate/quality settings though).

I just tried looking through the presets in ffconvert and found one for "LG Chocolate" so I gave that a try - thinking with LG and Samsung both being Korean phones there may be some common ground, and sure enough the converted video did play successfully on the Samsung.
Just for the record here are the specs of the converted file. It might not be 100% what the Samsung wants but hey it works so it gives me a workaround. Thanks for the help!
(I don't understand how the vid specs say it uses mP4v when my ffmpeg told me it did not have that codec available, but oh well, it seems to work...)

Although it seems to work I am finding some videos end up with the sound fully muted when played on the phone (an icon of a muted speaker shows up when I try to increase or decrease sound). I don't understand this as some videos work perfectly - and all videos play audio correctly when run on the PC - it is only when on the phone that the sound is gone.
If I use ffmpeg to examine the encoding parameters of these "audio muted" files they appear to be using "5.1" (maybe that's something the phone doesn't like)
I wonder if there is some way to switch off the 5.1?

Hi Greengeek,
in ffconvert 'Detail' tab you should check Audio 'Channels' and probably make sure it is 'mono', or 'stereo' (or on ffmpeg command line, same thing really, use -ac 1). You possibly, currently, have it as 'Same as source'.
You can fine-tune most ffmpeg conversion parameters in that ffconvert Detail tab (also screen size, for example).

Thanks William - changing the "same as source" to "mono" sorted the problem out nicely and got rid of the "5.1" from the ffmpeg output.mcewanw wrote:in ffconvert 'Detail' tab you should check Audio 'Channels' and probably make sure it is 'mono', or 'stereo' (or on ffmpeg command line, same thing really, use -ac 1).

Here is the comparison:
The file with fixed mute sound showed this line:
Code: Select all
# ffmpeg -i /mnt/sdd3/dvdriptemp/B2TF2_2.mp4....

but screencasts are very tiny.
v1.3.1 - 31 Dec 2012: capturing parameters, auto cropping whole foler, fix was failed with spaces in filename (thanks to smokey)
1.3.1 is the version with Fat Racy 5.5, not bad but screencasts are very tiny. Perhaps my settings are bad, but if i change somethings, Ffconvert does not work more anymore.
I translate here above topic if any solution yet given to users.
