  • Rewrap an AVCHD (MTS/M2TS) video as MOV

    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

  • Remove excess noise from a set of mp4 videos.

    Full command: for f in input/*; do BN=$(basename "$f"); ffmpeg -i "$f" -vn "temp/$BN.flac"; sox "temp/$BN.flac" "temp/$BN-cleaned.flac" noisered profile 0.3; ffmpeg -i "$f" -vcodec copy -an "temp/$BN-na.mp4"; ffmpeg -i "temp/$BN-na.mp4" -i "temp/$BN-cleaned.flac" "output/$BN"; done This was over the 255 character limit and I didn't feel like deliberately obfuscating it. 1. Create 'input', 'output' and 'temp' directories. 2. Place the files that you want to remove the hiss/static/general noise from in the input directory. 3. Generate a noise reduction profile with sox using 'sox an_input_file.mp4 -n trim x y noiseprof profile', where x and y indicates a range in seconds that only the sound you want to eliminate is present in. 4. Run the command.

  • Convert SWF to video

    This will dump a raw BGRA pixel stream and WAV which must then be converted to video: ffmpeg -f rawvideo -c:v rawvideo -s 1280x720 -r 12 -pix_fmt bgra -i "${i%.*}".bgra -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -qp 0 -movflags +faststart -i "${i%.*}".wav -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 384k "${i%.*}".mp4 ; rm "${i%.*}".bgra "${i%.*}".wav Our example generates an x264/720p/12fps/AAC best-quality MP4. To get dump-gnash, first install the build-dependencies for gnash (this step is OS-specific). Then: git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnash.git ; cd gnash ; ./autogen.sh ; ./configure --enable-renderer=agg --enable-gui=dump --disable-menus --enable-media=ffmpeg --disable-jemalloc ; make

  • 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

What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

Share Your Commands

Check These Out

this toggles mute on the Master channel of an alsa soundcard

Get your outgoing IP address
should be very consistent cause it's google :-)

Adjust display hardware brightness [dbus way]

Find usb device in realtime
Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

Password Generation
Produces secure passwords that satisfy most rules for secure passwords and can be customized for correct output as needed. See "man pwgen" for details.

clear current line

Print out a man page
man -t manpagename gives a postscript version of said man page. You then pipe it to ls, and assuming you have cups set up, it prints in your default printer.

Netstat Connection Check
This command does a tally of concurrent active connections from single IPs and prints out those IPs that have the most active concurrent connections. VERY useful in determining the source of a DoS or DDoS attack.

Find and copy scattered mp3 files into one directory
No problem with word splitting. That should works on many Unix likes.

Prepare a commandlinefu command.
This command will format your alias or function to a single line, trimming duplicate white space and newlines and inserting delimiter semi-colons, so it continues to work on a single line.
