https://bbs.archlinux.org – ffpoth takes still images at a constant interval from video files.These images are then scaled and written as PPM (Portable Pixmap) to standard output.That makes ffpoth quite different.The use of imagemagick or graphicsmagick makes it quite easy to put the still images together.Examples:$ ffpoth big_buck_bunny_720p_stereo.avi | montage - -geometry +1+1 -tile 4x -quality 90 big_buck_bunny.jpg---$ ffpoth -b2 -e-100 -w200 -n24 big_buck_bunny_720p_stereo.avi | montage - -geometry +1+1 -tile 4x -quality 90 big_buck_bunny-a.jpgThis is a quite tiny tool and i am quite happy how it works right now.May (HowTos)

Iterate over n files? 45 weeks 2 days ago

I've got something fairly simple I want to do.

I'm using ImageMagick to convert some PDF to files to PNG images, and I'm experiencing some quality problems because the generated image has very low quality. I played with the density, resample, interpolate and filter flags of the convert command, but I did not manage in having an high quality image like I would make a screenshot from a PDF reader (which preserve the vectorial quality of the PDF

I can't help with you immediate issue, but I have used the ffmpeg library in my own programs before.  I learned just enough to do what I needed to do.If practical - or particularly if you will do this type of this more than once, and you know some C - you may want to write a small program that does this all in one pipeline rather than converting the entire video to images, imagemagick ea

I am converting images to pdfs.I use following command

convert page.jpg page.pdf

and then combine multiple pdf's generated accordingly by command

pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf output result.pdf

Camera TERRIBLE indoors? 36 weeks 5 days ago

Hi all,

Quick question about the quality of images on my HOX.

They are absolutely terrible, for a HOX, especially when one of their major selling points was the apparantly, amazing camera?

The quality of images out doors, is acceptable, but again for a camera such as the HOX I think they should be better.

But indoors, they are almost un-viewable they are that bad.

Imagemagick resize 23 weeks 4 days ago

I am familiar with convert-resize % for decreasing a size by percentage but what is the command to increase an image from say 700 pixels to 800 pixels??? Horizontal width should resize, too. I need to preserve the overall quality and look of the image as best as possible.

EDIT:

Mogrify -resize geometry

that appears to be what I need to resize the images.

Wherever there is data, there shall be analytics.
