on2 vfw vp6 bonkers guied for idjits

i'm sorry i like my video right side up.

on2 vfw vp6 bonkers "flv" guide for the rest of us

work around

( mux flv example source sound ) with ffmpeg. ==================== (0) CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP avs crap example $ wine ffmpeg -b 128 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -i "temp-vp6.avi" -vcodec copy -i "example.avs" "example-vp6.flv" CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP. fixthis crap :? move on to part one. skip part zero. fix: (1.........................) fix this by using my ffmpeg taget vcd-ntsc workaround. (2.) open vcd with " virtualdub mod ". flip the video with virtualdub streem filters. save as on2's vp6 / avi. (3) now use sh0dan's patched win ffmpeg binary. fix: new: $ wine ffmpeg -b 128 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -i "new-vdub-vp6.avi" -vcodec copy "new-ffmpeg-vp6.flv" ====================== it all worked after some detective work. LINKS-1: http://sh0dan.blogspot.com/2006/09/command-line-flash-8-flv-encoding.html LINKS-2: (patched ffmpeg) http://klauspost.googlepages.com/ffmpeg-VP6-FLV.zip ===================

mencoder allso works nicely.

(4) CODE: mencoder *.avi -oac copy -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec=vp6vfw.dll -o out2.flv (5) #OR: $ mencoder *.avi -nosound \ -vf flip -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec=vp6vfw.dll -o out1.flv ================== so why waste all this time tweaking with ffmpeg with wine on my linux system ? while a native mencoder feels a little easier. But virtualdub is fun to play with some times. ooh pretty gui fun. 10moy2009

exaile failes to wow on debian5 lenny

===================== exaile fails to wow . exaile failed to load shoutcast , the shoutcast plugin failed. I ended up removing exaile-shoutcast and i installed streamtuner... streamtuner defaults to xmms to play the shoutcast streams but debian dropped xmms support with debian5. ? but they did not change the default settings for streamtuner. STREAMTUNER must not be maintained actively @ debian. SO change the ( ~/.streamtuner/config) file to use audacious. """""""""""""""""""""""" action "play-m3u" { command "audacious %q "; """"""""""""""""""""""" action "play-stream" { command "audacious %q "; """""""""""""""""""""" WHATS streamtuner ? # It, just pops up audacious with the streamcast link place into audacius's playlist. # streamtuner is not a player it just seeks out stream-links and sends them to your player. # think middle man. (audacious) adjust audacious : lower audacious/s stream setting buffer so it doesn't freeeze up when seeking and buffering streams. ============================================== ============================= Exaile did not wow me. I'm not a big fan of python aps. try using ( streamtuner) for your shoutcast needs. And try using (gmusic broswer) for simple music library playback.
