Converting video on the tablet?
 
I'm looking for a way to compile a series of JPEG images on my tablet into a video file. On my desktop, I'd use FFMpeg or MEncoder, but I haven't been able to find versions of these tools compiled for Maemo. I'm not looking to convert video on my desktop for playing on the tablet; I'm away from my computer for a month, and would like to use my tablet to do the video processing.
Does anyone know if there are maemo packages of FFMpeg or MEncoder? If not, are there other tools that would do the same thing?
Thanks!

An ffmpeg binary would be great. Thanks for the fast replies!

ffmpeg.zip

Sorry, no package. Needs few extra libs:

and libfaad2-0 from extras:

Code:

apt-get install libfaad2-0

I'm not a linux person much but I think it needs to be chmod +x to be able to run... Im still a chmod noob though so don't take my word!
Edit oh... extract mencoder... perhaps it has a make or something in it? don't chmod the archive.

i'm hoping to try this binary too but i'm stumped. could someone please explain how to "install" it?

getting the two libs are easy, i'm just stumped as to what to do with the "ffmpeg" file thats inside the zip archive.

thanks!!

Re: Converting video on the tablet? ffmpeg2theora
 
btw, whether in PC (Linux, Windows, ...) or in tablet (if you get ffmpeg2theora compiled), I've found ffmpeg2theora to be best transcoding software for videos to be watched on N900.
http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/download.html
(If you install to Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu, look from your repositories first as it surely is there also and it is more secure way to install anything that way.)

For example:
Code:

$ ffmpeg2theora -p padma anyTypeOfVideo.avi
Will ouput anyTypeOfVideo.ogv which has Theora as video codec, Vorbis as audio codec and the resolution is correctly resized to be good for N900 (800x480) and it knows how to handle both 4:3 and 16:9 sources. If you have interlaced video, it may recognize it correctly, but you can also force deinterlacing with --deinterlace option.
Quote:

$ ffmpeg2theora -p info
...
padma Video: 640x360 for 16:9 material, 640x480 for 4:3 material
Quality 6
Audio: Max 2 channels - Quality 3
(For 16:9 material someone may want to tweak more)

i'm trying real hard to figure out how to use this ffmpeg "binary." google found this for me:

Quote:

1. Copy ffmpeg to /usr/local/bin.
2. Execute the following in Terminal (as admin):
Code:

  sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
  sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Now you have a working version of ffmpeg in the Terminal.
although i used gainroot and used this code instead:

Code:

sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

it didn't work for me, but am i going in the right direction?
