Linux – Automated video encoding linux

encodinglinuxvideo

I am looking for a program/utility which will automatically take whatever video file I give it and transcode it into another more suitable format for a web site.

Anyone know of a good linux (prefer ubuntu) utility?

Thanks,

-Adam

Here is how to learn mplayer ( it works best with ALL types of video ), first install acidrip from repos and get that working on the basics.

Once its going ok, use the Queue tab to be able to see the commands that are written. The commands are very long and this is the only place I have been able to see the FULL command with ease. This can then be fed into an automated tool.

The debug button in acidrip is also very handy to see what is going wrong when it does. Check your quality on playback as it can vary wildly depending on encoder, bitrate, etc...

have fun with it.

Set your locale date environment variable LC_TIME to "en_DK" Set it in your .bashrc or similar, or check man locale for how to set it system-wide.

On ArchLinux all of the Locale settings are in /etc/rc.conf and customisations are set up in /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/bash
# Local multi-user startup script
export LC_TIME="en_DK"

Linux RTSP server

Two obvious choices are Adobe Flash Media Server and Red5 - open source and free. FMS is a better and more advanced product, while red5 is free, written in java, and is open source.
