Compile all jpegs into 1 video by alphabetical order @ 50 fps

Most of the commands require the jpegs a certain format, not this, it just follows alphabetical order. The same order you follow if you do "ls -lisah" from top to bottom, top frame is first, bottom is last... This goes perfectly with a webcam timelapse... I have just the script for it: http://www.kossboss.com/linux---app-script---timelapse---capush Show Sample Output

This *does not change the video encoding*, so it's fast (almost purely I/O-bound) and results in a file of nearly the same size. However, OSX (and possibly other programs) will more easily play/seek the file when wrapped as MOV. For example, you can QuickLook the resulting file. This basically does the same as the commercial ClipWrap program, except using the free program ffmpeg. Show Sample Output

ffmpeg -i "input.mts" -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_s16le "output.mov"

replace audio track in a video file

The "map" may be different depending on the .wmv file. run `ffprobe` to see which is the video-track in the .wmv file usually this is "0.0". Stream #0.0: Video:... Stream #0.1: Audio: .. and "1.0" corresponds to the 2nd input file - your new audio. You may want to add "-acodec wmav2" and "-ar 128k" options for 128kbit/s Windows Media Audio 2 or whatever audio-codec/quality your want. `ffmpeg -codecs | grep "EA"` gives you a list of available codecs for Encoding Audio. Try using '-sameq' instead of '-vcodec copy' (re-encode the video with same quality rather than a bit-exact copy - this often solves muxing issues but will cause a small loss of either video quality or increased bandwidth). and also try a different output format eg. 'new_video.avi' or '..mov' instead of 'new_video.wmv'. you may need both, this should work: ffmpeg -i vid.wmv -i aud.wav -sameq -map 0.0 -map 1.0 output.avi

Using parcellite, indents the content of the clipboard manager

This command takes the content of a Parcellite-managed clipboard manager and add one level of indentation to it. It may be useful to indent a block of code which will enter inside another, already indented one but I use it mostly to indent code I will post in Stack Overflow questions and answers.

Multiple variable assignments from command output in BASH

No command substitution but subshell redirection

Sending a file over icmp with hping

you need to start a listening hping on the reciever: hping3 --listen 10.0.2.254 -I eth0 --sign MSGID1 then you can send your file: hping3 10.0.2.254 --icmp --sign MSGID1 -d 50 -c 1 --file a_file

Generate MD5 of string and output only the hash checksum in a readable format

Generates the md5 hash, without the trailing " -" and with the output "broken" into pairs of hexs.

Extract IPv4 addressess from file

lotto generator

Ease your directory exploration

Usage : tt [OCCURRENCE] tt will display a tree from your actual path tt .svn will display only line containing .svn

move contents of the current directory to the parent directory, then remove current directory.

I think this is less resource consuming than the previous examples

Both view and pipe the file without saving to disk

This is a cool trick to view the contents of the file on /dev/pts/0 (or whatever terminal you're using), and also send the contents of that file to another program by way of an unnamed pipe. All the while, you've not bothered saving any extra data to disk, like you might be tempted to do with sed or grep to filter output.
