I've written an article about some tricks you can do with ffmpeg, in today's article, I will show you another trick - compressing avi and mp4 video files with a simple command with a only a small loss in video quality.
If you dont have ffmpeg already installed, you can run this command to install it in Ubuntu and other Debian-based distros:
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
To compress an avi
I'm trying to send a 10 second video I recorded to a friend over text message. I used to have an iPhone and when I would do this the iPhone would automatically compress the video for me.
Why doesn't Android compress the videos so it fits?
Is there a program or something I can use on my phone that will compress it for me? I used to send videos all the time.
I have a security question regarding the mime types.
I have a website on which users can upload videos. Prior to encoding with ffmpeg, I make a mime-type check to be sure the video file is really a video file and not a weird file or even an exec with a video file extension.
Nevertheless sometimes, mime-type aren't recognized, especially with mkv containers.
So what I wanted to do is compress files (using 7zip) and split a 600MB folder into 199MB parts, but sadly when I tried to do this task with archive manager it gave me an error, but I know that if I use terminal it will work.
Ok.. whats going on here :s
Im trying to run a yum update but getting stopped by dependencies.
I have access to a server via SSH, I download files from it over SFTP or HTTP. I want to pull down a 4.4GB .mkv file but I have limited bandwidth.
I have used zip, gzip and p7zip, but the file is always 4.4GBs after the compression process. After fiddling with some of the CLI args I managed on one attempt to get the file down to 4.3GBs.
Ubuntu is great but I cannot edit HD video or compress video files. I tried video editing using avidemux but the audio comes out too fast. I am also trying to compress video files but nothing seems to work. I tried transmageddon and when I press the transcode button the progress meter doesn't move and nothing happens.
I know how to optimize and compress png images using optipng command. line tool. I have lots of images in JPEG format. How do I compress and optimize JPEG images on my amazon cloud account so that I can save bandwidth on cloudfront cdn account?
