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

debian/ubuntu get installed nvidia driver version from terminal

i've been writing a bash script where i needed to query the installed version number of the nvidia driver when it's not loaded. Unfortunately i have not found a easy way of doing this. If i'm a stupid person, please enlighten me of a better way ;)

High resolution video screen recording

$ gorecord foo.mp4 I've tried all of the screen recorders available for Linux and this is easily the best. xvidcap segfaults; VNC is too much hassle. There are alternatives of this command already here that I am just too lazy to reply to. Messing with the frames per second option, -r, 25 seems to be the best. Any lower and the video will look like a flipbook, if it records at all - -r 10 won't - any faster is the same, oddly enough. Edit: CLF doesn't like my long command to add audio, so here it is in the description. $ goaddaudio() ${ $if [ $# != 3 ]; then $ echo 'goaddaudio < audio > < src video > < dst video >' $ return $ fi $ $ f=goaddaudio$RANDOM $ ffmpeg -i "$2" &> $f $ d=$( grep Duration $f | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d ',' ) && $ rm $f && $ ffmpeg -i "$1" -i "$2" -r 25 -ab 192k -ar 44100 -sameq -t $d "$3" $}

Convert a bunch of HTML files from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 file encoding in a folder and all sub-folders

This is my first attempt at converting all HTML files to UTF-8 file encoding, including all subfolders. Theres probably a much more compact way to do it, but I'm quite proud of it with my windows background ;)

Grab all .flv files from a webpage to the current working directory

I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines... http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1006/grab-mp3-files-from-your-favorite-netcasts-mp3blog-or-sites-that-often-have-good-mp3s Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.

return external ip

Find the top 10 directories containing the highest number of files

It can be used to pinpoint the path(s) where the largest number of files resides when running out of free i-nodes

Which processes are listening on a specific port (e.g. port 80)

swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"

recursively change file name from uppercase to lowercase (or viceversa)

Example of zsh globing, glob qualifier, and substitution: -Q state that the parameter will contain a glob qualifier. (**/)(*) is recursive (.) is our glob qualifier, with states the match is a file "." The first parameter $1, is then substituted with $2 but with lowercasing '(L)' ... a (U) would of course be from lower to upper.

Convert CSV to JSON

Replace 'csv_file.csv' with your filename.
