[27] FFMPEG : dvp640 mpeg1 vcd.



Jessica Simpson. Sweetest Sin. live at Miss teen U.S.A @youtube
WARDCRAFT:
I down loaded some video from youtube then converted them to
avi and tried to watch them on my tv set.
'but they would not play on the Phillips dvp640'.

The FLV files from youtube would not convert into an
AVI file that was readable on the dvp640.
THE AVI files did work on my computer just fine.

WORK AROUND:

FLV to MPEG1 / then MPEG1 to AVI.
by converting the youtube FLV file to MPEG1 first
I was able to get the files to play on my divx/dvd player.

FFMPEG NOTES:
# first convert the FLV video to mpeg1 ntsc.
# make the first pass 1

$ ffmpeg -i youtubevideo9mb.flv -target ntsc-vcd -pass 1 new-video-pass1-30mb.mpg

# then run the second pass 2

$ ffmpeg -i youtubevideo9mb.flv -target ntsc-vcd -pass 2 new-video-pass2-30mb.mpg
------------------------
------------------------
Most divx/dvd players can read a mpeg1 file.
NOTE: you can now rip the ntsc-vcd into a divx/avi file
and the divx/avi file will now
work on the 'Pillips dvp640 divx/dvd player'.

WARDCRAFT:
I don't now why the FLV video files nead to be converted to
a ntsc-vcd mpeg first before I rip them for my TV.
AFTER I rip the file I then transcode them into div3/msmpeg4/AVI
to save them onto CD.I like having a small div3/AVI video that
will play on just about any computer.

I have not uploaded any more videos to youtube in a while.
Youtube feels a little slow. It's to bad that youtube does not let you download AVI files.Some of the FLV file I find on youtube are real
real real low quality.
I nead to find a better file dump thats fast
and lets people 'upload and download' Higher quality vids.
#thx for sharing videos on youtube.

FFMPEG : cmp 2 test on dvp642

WARDCRAFT: I tried a couple more setting on (Phillips dvp640) divx DVD player to see if they would work. --
-- NOTE using ffmpeg: final video will be 352x240 ntsc cif - div3 avi and it will play on this divx DVD player (Phillips dvp640) but the player is junk and will probably brake on me any day . Do a Google search on the player and on Phillips they do not have a good track record. --

ffmpeg -i *.avi -vcodec msmpeg4 -ab 128 -b 592 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -precmp 0 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x208 -padtop 16 -padbottom 16 -padleft 16 -padright 16 -t 00:24:04.6 new-DIV3--[at512ab96]msmpeg4.AVI
-- 
-- The video did not scale well on my computer but it did scale well on my TV. - I padded the video so that the divx player on my TV would not cut of the sub tittles. -
- "what is cmp 2"
- Comparison Function for Motion estimation. I tried using cmp and I think it made the video look a little better. -
- cmp 0 = default *
* cmp 2 = handamard = anime ? *
* cmp 3 = dct =? and good for live action I think.*
* -*
* subcomp 2 ? Is good for anime, acording to some video site I read.*
* "subcomp 2 good for anime." -*
* precmp 0 - is the default and fastest . 0 is sufficient for precmp. I don't know why it's just something I read online. -*
* mbd 2*
* mbd 2 = High Quality Macroblock Decision Algorithem. mbd 2 is the same as vhq.*
* -*
* mbd 1 is faster but not the best quality.*
* -*
* THE video I tested on my player was 352x240 ntsc and it looked OK.*
* The final video size ended up at 126MB . -*
* I all so test 640x480 video . playback looked good but my computer is slow 800mhz so I'm not going to code a lot of video at 640x480.

DIVX DVD player with usb flash drive reader.

*(removed adds 2007oct) $ $ $$ $$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$ If I had extra money to spent ? I would blow a few bucks on a new divx dvd player. . _ I like the idea of playing divx video off of the usb flash dive. - It should costs just under 100 $

DIVX - VIDEO ,I'm downloading and watching.


DIVX - VIDEO . I'm downloading and watching
video.
-
WARDCRAFT:
I don't watch a lot of pod cast or iptv
but I do watch DL.TV
It's a good tech and gadget show
-
Take a look at their site if you like tech click on the link below
http://DL.TV
-
One the best part of the show is the viewer emails with makes the shoe interactive.
DL.TV has current info on news, tech and consumer grade electronic gadgets
such as PCs - TVs -cellphones and other gadgets.
---------------------------------------------------------
NOTES - personal info:
I'm downloading divx video from dltv because their new flash player is busted.
The new flash player no longer works with Opera.
The new dl.tv does not work with Linux flash 7 anymore ether.
When I try to use "Linux flashplayer 7" I get the "Black screen of doom" and nothing loads up.
-
I can view the show using GNU Iceweasle browser using
the adobe flashplayer9 beta but the videi is so chopy it makes watching the video annoying
-
So I decided to download and watch the Divx video from dl.tv........
If they fix their flash player I will go back to using it.
If they get it to work with Opera again that would be even better.

Wario Blogging for money."blogging sux"


"Do you belive this sh*t."
How do blogs make money.
I think it's just a lot of B.S.
-
$
-
I read a few blogs every now and then that claim
that their making lots and lots of money.
But usually I have never read of any of these blog sites
becasue they suck.
-
WARDCRAFT:
so what if I'm impatient.
Make money now.
spam spam spam
-
money site are usually just a pile crap links any way.
Just look at some of the sites that claim to make money.
-
What the f.u.c.k. is a (blog roll)
-
Blog roll are just a fucked up way of trading links to improve search engine rankings
and thus get a bigger audience to make more money.
-
MONEY BLOGGERs:
f.u.c.k their sites they suck every time I look at them.
-
HERETICS PARTING SHOTS:
A pure blog is broke and done with a passion - not with a eye on your wallet.
money bloggers you suck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WARDCRAFT" bloggers suck:
I'm back updating this post and some reviews.
I took a look at (www.Blogads.com) and read some of their propaganda.
The trick is not to blog but to become some sort of marketing guru

Vivid Life and death in the tabloids.


Vivid Life and death in the tabloids.
-
Anna Nicole smith.
-
WARDCRAFT:
EDIT:
I'm reposting new comments here
on the news.
I turned on the local 10pm news and before the first break they lead with
4 stories that were about death.
As the news went on they kept piling on stories that were about death.
I can't watch that kind of news so I turned of the news channel and turned on my computer.
The vultures of the network news are no better than snuff film pornographers.
I know some people get of on snuff films
and I bet a great many of those people work in the news Media.

[8] Garbage. you look so fine. music video.

Saturday's update - youtube -
SATURDAY:
I decided to up load another video to youtube
but damn it if youtube's upload speed was any slower.
/
Darn the tubes.
YouTube is slow and that sucks.
/
but it's free for recycled music videos
#----------embedded music video ---------
# remove but the video is still up at youtube.
#----------------------------------------------------
Garbage - you look so fine - music video.[live]
-
http://youtube.com/user/thornwolf
-
I recycled this video from a previous download
-
NOTE:
note the video was flash.flv then i converted it to
mpeg1 ntsc-vcd using ffmpeg
and then I uploaded the video back to youtube.
-
FFMPEG NOTE:
ffmpeg -i *.flv -target ntsc-vcd new-video-out-file.mpg
-
PARTING SHOT:
I like using ffmpeg on video's and it is that simple for converting
small video clips.
bash shells can be simple.
-
" I'm using damn small linux " ffmpeg is the best
video transcoder I tested on it this distro."
other transcoding programs for this distro just don't
work as well or simple.

Friday. Moderate Without A Cause

Friday. Moderate Without A Cause : I can't find a reason to blog this sh*t is starting to bore me.

Friday update

WHAT'S THIS: I decided to dress my site up with some ads from amazon. / WHY? I did this because the ads that i was getting from Google AdSense sucked. none of that ads from Google had any real personality. / Who clicks on the ads from Google AdSense ? / PARTING SHOT: How Quackery Sells If this blog will not make money at least I can make it look good. "sXE sells"

google hacks

GOOGLE HACKS: ----- one ----------- define:google ------ two ------------- youtube filetype:flv ---------------------- " and now for the best google hack turn of java script if you don't wont to see their stupid ads." ----------------------- ----- three ---------- one more hack: "google sucks" = google-sucks

Wednesday sex spam

Do i have to spam this blog with sex just to get anyone to read it. Or should i just post naked pictures of your dirty Aunt? There's like a million crappy sexblogs out there . So whats one more crappy blog about sex worth. - PARTING SHOT: I'm getting bored with the you tube music video channel. I will keep down loading videos to watch on my pc and TV but I'm done uploading music videos if i don't get any feedback.

Wednesday blog - the music industry hates the internet -

------------------ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$-------------

The music industry hates the Internet and anyone who uses it.
-
Will Youtube.com and other Viral Video sites escape the greed of the Music Industry?
Or will Youtube.com revolutionize the way the music industry promotes music?
----------------$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$-------------------
Evolution Youtube has plans to share revenue with
power users who upload and share their videos on Youtube
-
$
-
Can you see the Music Industry uploading their own Viral Music Videos to youtube?
The Music Industry is not going broke any time soon .

The internet has not hurt the music industry.
Torrents have not hurt the Music Industry.
And Viral Video sharing sites have not hurt music industry.
-
$
-
I quit watching music videos on TV a long time ago before Youtube was
ever invented .
MTV became a pile of GENERIC POP GARBAGE in the late1990's
so I gave up on MTV a long time ago.

I'm not the only one that gave up on MTV .
The local generic radio station is not that much better when it comes to
exposing listeners to new music
-
$
-

Exposing listeners to new music and new things via video ads on Youtube.com may be
the killer app that makes Google evolve the way the Music Industry thinks.
Do you realy wont to go to war against Google.com

The Music Industry geting D-Listed by Google.com would not
be good for the Music Industry but it might be a good thing for Indy Music.
--------------------------------------------------------
My Parting Shots:
hello Viral Marketing.
I will try to add some indy artist to my blog.
If the mainstream videos get yanked off of youtube.com
hello indy crowd.

[7] Garbage (mpeg1) right between the eyes



href= http://youtube.com/

-
http://youtube.com/user/thornwolf
-
I posted a mpeg1 video to youtube to see if it
will get converted or spit out for not being
divx or xvid .avi file
-
NOTE :
this is just a test.
-
the 49 MB mpeg1 ntsc-vcd video took a while to upload
but it plays good.
So I might not have to convert my videos to avi.
Thats good because I got a hand full of 352x240
vcd mpegs that I might upload youtube.
-
Uploading copy righted music video's to
youtube that =
free advertising for the music industry
Can't be as bad as all the pervs that try
to upload pron to youtube.
---------------------------
So enjoy the music video channel / free advertising /
while it last.

"It's no secret the music industry
is greedy and paraniod."
-
good Internet companies try to practice revenue
sharing with average joes.
such as Google Adsense.
-
Do you think that the music industry will
ever catch on to sharing with the average joe?

Tuesday blog - update - OLD OPERA BLUES

Tuesday blog update. What's wrong with my good old opera web browser. - I like to surf the net with OPERA 8.xx on my Linux box but it's starting to age poorly. My site does not render well in opera 8 since I added some videos from youtube. In the beginning it didn't do a good job logging in to sites so I used FireFox to log in and post my blog. - I have used newer version of opera but I did not not like the built in features like bit torrent. I like using a light browser that don't use up RAM on my old PC box. - FINAL NOTES : opera works greate for me at youtube.com I like the look and feel of opera but some time I need to use Firefox for site like my blog that don't render right for opera. - " The irony of it all."

Magnavox MWD7006 (dvd player) tech review

" It's OK" I bought the Magnavox mwd7006 divx dvd player over a month a go as a gift (back in December of 2006). COST: $37.73 at walmart. - NOTES: I bought the Magnavox DVD player / divx player and gave it a test. - PROS : 1. Yes it will play DIVX video and XVID videos plus my fav "DIV3 msmpeg4 .avi". I like anime videos in DIV3 small files low bit rate butI like my TV and movies in DIVX or XVID. 2. The on screen menu - disk browser will display long file names of AVI files. 3. The remote is basic and better than my crappy Phillips dvp640. 4. THE video scaled OK on this unit but 320x240 videos start of small and you need to use the zoom button on your remote to get full screen. once full screen the video looked ok. -------------------------------------- CONS : I could not gate this unit to play my VCD's 1. MY VCD's did not have a menu so the play chokes on the disk and never played any video. The same VCD's from my collection worke greate on three other dvd players in the house. 2. This player just did not like any of my vcd's but that's not all. The player did not play msmpeg4v2 video either. MY crapy Phillips dvp640 played msmpeg4v2 video but the Magnavox MWD7006 did not. 3. The player physically fills very light and cheap. THE box displays the unit weight @ 2.9 lbs. (1.3kg) the unit is all plastic ------------------------------------- torrent info : HOW ABOUT video downloaded from torrents? Yes I gave a few torrents files a try from goups like (VTV) (xvid-notv) (eztv) (XOR). - THE player takes a few seconds longer than I like for it to load up the video but once they start to play the video looks good. - FINAL NOTES : if this player craps out and dies like my BRO'S Phillips dvp640 I will gave up a WARNING cry not to buy it.

There are a couple more music videos I wont to upload
before posting some more DVD reviews stay tuned for more

[1]Shakira don't bother - youtube. (FFMPEG test)

---------------removed video ------------------------ I did not do a good job encoding the video so i romoved it. --------------- removedvideo --------- http://youtube.com/user/thornwolf - Shakira don't bother music video. - TEST NOTES: 1.Download video from youtube. 2.Trans code the (flash-video.flv) to (new-div3-video.AVI) with ffmpeg. 3.Test the (new-div3-video.AVI) with xine and or mplayer for quality. 4.Upload the video back onto youtube. 5.Post the video on my blog and write a review notes. ------------------------------------------------------------ ffmpeg -i flash-video.flv -vcodec msmpeg4 -b 512 -bufsize 4096 -r 23.97 -s 320x240 -acodec mp3 -ab 160 -ac 2 -t 00:04:29.8 new-div3-video.AVI ------------------------------------------------------------ THE REVIEW. Step 1# and step 2# went OK. - But step 3# reviled that the audio bit rate (-ab 96) was to low for a music video next time i will use (-ab 128) that usually sounds better. The low audio bit rate sounds off but I did not try to fix it on this test. - Step 4# went OK but uploading was a little slow. youtube ask for divx or xvid avi file to upload but I uploaded my (div3.avi) and it worked fine. - CONCLUSION. The test video came out OK if you consider the starting video quality was all ready junk because I downloaded it from youtube and re-trans coded the video. - UPDATE. I will download and trans code a few more videos for this blog and test adding a (youtube music video channel) and maybe a couple other video channels.
