Batch processing FLVs on Linux

Hello,
Does anyone know of an application for Linux that can batch
process video files, or better yet 'watch' a folder for video files
to process, and convert to FLV files?
I know that Sorenson's product has this capability but it
doesn't run on the Linux platform. I am hoping to upload video
files to a server, have them automatically processed to FLVs and
play them back using the Flash Media Server app.
Thank you.

I would suggest you give Flix Engine a try. It is a
transcoder that works on Linux and I believe it can do what you are
looking for. The other solution that won't work on Linux yet is
called FlipFactory by Telestream. Flip is a transcoder that will
monitor specific areas you want and automatically transcode files.
I have been nagging Telestream to death to make a Linux port of it,
and yet they haven't.
Let me know what you come up with. I couldn't get Flix to
work properly on my Gentoo Linux OS, but it may work on yours.
Good luck.

  • Batch processing and replication

    Oracle 11gr2 (11.2.0.3) Linux x86_64
    I wanted to know if anyone has come up with a solution for replicating batch process data. Oracle recommends in the documentation (as a best practice) to not replicate batch processing data through streams, rather to run the batch process on the source and then on the dest database. If we cannot do that, what are our options for this?
    Thanks all.

    Anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

  • Batch process for setting document (language) and page (structure) properties

    I'm looking for a batch process or script that will take a folder of PDFs and add some basic properties required by Section 508 (for accessibility) automagically--such as Document Properties where language=EnglishUS, and Page Properties Tab Order=Use Document Structure.
    I'm not a programmer so any help is very much appreciated.

    well on unix/Linux/solaris there are no drives but storage heirarchy starts with a root directory represented with ' / '. and all files and directories are created in root directoy like
    /usr/local/bin
    /export/home/san
    etc
    also filesystem of unix consists iNodes rathar than FAT entries as in case of Windows.

  • Batch process video to swf with controls??

    Hi,
    I have hundreds of QT videos that I need converted to .swf
    video WITH control bar and a watermark logo.
    I can batch process them to .flv using the Media Encoder, but
    I need them to be .swf in order to use them in Director 2004MX.
    Plus, I don't see where I can add a watermark using Media Encoder.
    I have CS3 and CS4 Master Collections so I assume there's got
    to be SOME way to do this batch processing.
    I did a few sample tests in Flash, bringing in the .flv file,
    attaching one of the prebuilt skins, adding a layer for the logo
    watermark, then exporting to swf. It works beautifully in my
    Director project. But to do this process 500 times would take
    forever.
    Any advice on how to batch to .swf video with control bar and
    watermark would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Karen

    Thank you Heathrowe I appreciate it.
    I guess as far as using the hotspot slicer in Fireworks, if I
    export to an SWF it doesnt make that a clickable section in the SWF
    file. Oh well. Would be a nice feature in the next version of
    Fireworks.

  • Will After Effects execute a batch process on video?

    I apologize for posting this  question in more than one forum (I also posted in the Premier forum),  I'm just not sure which forum this questoin is suppose go in.
    What I'm trying to  do is batch  process a few hundred 10-30 minute videos and cut them  up into smaller 3 minute clips. I'm not familiar with After Effects and so I'm not  entirely sure that this is an After Effects task...
    Anyhow,  the source files are primarily WMV and  MPG with some AVIs in there, and we want to export to FLV. Since you  can batch process images from bridge using photoshop actions, I was  hoping there was something similar that could be done using After Effects.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    "Look, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but you're going about this all wrong. Since you're obviously not video savvy, you need to start at the end and work backwards."
    You are correct, I'm not a video guy. My forte is print, graphics and web layouts and I have very little profesional-level video experience. The reason for FLV files is very simple, consitancy. It was decided that we're going to use the FLV format a while back so that our flash guys could more easily incorporate them into "flash toys" later on (no, we don't know what that means yet). I don't know that the specifics within the FLV format are pertinant at this time, and I don't see what would stop us from re-encoding them later if needed.
    "That can be batched but the editing canot, that is strictly a manual operation."
    This is exaclty why I'm posting on lots of different forums trying to find a solution, because as of right now, we are manually splitting these videos up and it's a significant drain on our department resources. The new workstation is already a go (and no, it's not my money) so that's happening no matter what, now we're just trying to automate as much as posible so our guys are free to do "real" work instead of defining 3 minute clips, over, and over, and over, and over again.
    I understand what you're saying about multiple source formats causing problems, but I think you may be misunderstanding what we actually need. We already have a simple freeware ecoding program (Any Video Converter 3.0.2) that has handled every format we've thrown at it so far and batch processes them into FLVs no problem. Unfortunately it doesn't "chop" them up as well, which we need. If a freeware program has no problem doing this, I find it hard to believe the big boy apps will choke, unless they're being used incorrectly.
    "Try to relax and investigate this thoroughly." "You're going to be money ahead by hiring a consultant."
    Again, that's why I'm posting messages on forums. And thanks for the help, but I'm pretty positive we don't need to hire a consultant.

  • In Bridge CS6, the "Tools" tab is missing the "Photoshop" option to batch process image

    Hello!
    Does anyone know why in Bridge cs6 under the "Tools" tab, my "Photoshop" option is missing?  That is how I have always batch processed images.  In Bridge, I choose the images to process, go to the "Tools" tab, down to the "Photoshop" option then to "Image Processor" and process.  Now when I go into my "Tools" tab it only has the options: Batch Rename, 4 kinds of Metadata related options and Cache.  Can someone tell me why this has happened and how to fix it?  Thank you!!!

  • Batch process to add Javascript to PDF files

    Hi All,
    I have written a small piece of Javascript for my PDF files. The idea is to add a date stamp to each page of the document before printing. To do this, I have added the following code to the "Document Will Print" action:
    for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
    var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
    dateStamp.textSize=8;
    dateStamp.value = "Date Printed: " + util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy",new Date());
    My question is this: Does anyone know of a way to batch process a whole directory (of around 600 PDF's) to insert my Javascript into the "Document Will Print" action of each file?
    Many thanks for any information you may have.
    Kind regards,
    Aaron

    > Can I just confirm a few things please? Firstly, should I be going into "Batch Sequences" -> "New Sequence" and selecting "Execute JavaScript" as my sequence type?
    Yes, you are creating new batch sequence that will use JavaScript.
    > My second question is, how can I insert my body of script into the variable "cScript"? I have quotation marks and other symbols that I imagine I will have to escape if I wish to do this?
    You ca either use different quotation marks or us the JavaScript escape character '\' to insert quotation marks
    Your will print code will only work for a full version of Acrobat and not Reader, because Reader will not allow the addition of fields. Also each time you print you will be creating duplicate copies of the field. So it might be better to add the form field only in the batch process and then just add the script to populate the date field in the WillPrint action.
    // add form field to each page of the PDF
    for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
    var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
    dateStamp.textSize=8;
    this.setAction("WillPrint", "dateStamp.value = \"Date Printed: \" + util.printd(\"dd/mmm/yyyy\",\new Date());");

  • Opening and closing files very slowly -MAC - Batch processing broke illustrator...

    I have been batch processing between 15 and 30 thousand svg files over the past few days(simply centreing the orbjects on the art board mergring overlapping objects and saving as AI's) - the individual files are very small 20kb max. this was working fine for a while but suddenly illustrator now takes nearly 30 seconds to open any one individual file - svg or otherwise - and also when I look at illustrator in activity monitor as files are opened illustrator uses 100% of the CPU.
    I have no Idea if this is related to all of the batch processing Ive been doing lately but Its the last thing Ive done so...
    Also I have run disk utility on my machine uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator with no success..
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks!!

    Have you tried at least restarting AI or rebooting the computer?

  • Please Help, Issues when batch processing Multi Frame images in Fireworks

    I hope someone will know how to do this and tell me where I am going wrong.
    Objective 1
    I have a large number of images that all have the exact same number of frames (4) and are all exactly the same size that I want to get resized, cropped and water marked (when I say 'watermarked I mean have my websites logo pasted in a specificlocation on each frame, I have my websites logo as a seperate .png file which I copy from).
    Current Process
    I create a command which will crop the image then paste my companys url/log onto the first frame, move it to the correct location on the frame then copy it again and then paste it onto each of the other frames, the command then resizes the image tot he exact proportions I want.
    I start a batch process and use my command, making sure that I also export from the .png to animated gif (and I edit the settings to make it 256 animated gif).
    Error 1
    The process described above resizes and crops my images however it does NOT put the watermark in the correct place, it seems to put it int he right place on the first frame and then in a different place on all the followingn frames thus giving the effect of the watermark jumping around. Which is obviously NOT what I want.
    Question 1
    Please let me know what process I should be following to correct the Error 1 above.
    Objective & Question 2
    I want to do exactly the same thing as shown above but this time the files have a varying number of frames (from 2 to 45 frames (or instances as CS4 seems to call them)). Is there a way to paste my logo to the to the exact same location on ALL frames?
    Other information
    I have tried WHXY Paste extension and I can not see how to use that to solve the issue. I have also tried 'Paste in Place' however I can not see how to use the Paste In Place extension as it is not appering in my list of commands.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Andy

    Andy, you could start a batch process which will do most of the things you are asking for. THe batch process can be done using Fireworks. The right way to start is going to Archivo / Procesar por Lotes and then follow all the different option this tool has to offer.  Yes, I know I gave you the names in Spanish but that is the way I use Adobe Fireworks.
    I hope this was usefull for you!

  • How to extract data from offline PDF files as batch processing

    Hello.

    2. Users inputs data on their local PCs.
    3. Users upload these PDF files in one folder.
    4. Program can read data form PDF files on that folder. and put data to ERP at night.
    I' d like to know how to implement a program with Java or ABAP.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    It's possible to do it but first be sure that the SAP system can read the directory while your program is executed in background .
    Then you have to read the content of the directory and process each file you found.
    Look at this standard ABAP object cl_gui_frontend_services , you will find method for browsing a directory and retrieve list of file .
    Afterwards you have to process each file , for this have a look at this wiki code sample i wrote for processing inbound mail with adobe interactive form, it should help you [Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]
    Hope this help you .

  • Need help with batch processing picture packages

    Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2.  (Windows).
    I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
    I know how to create an action.  I know how to batch process from this action.  I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
    I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
    I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
    I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
    What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
    So is this possible to do??  I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
    Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
    Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
    Jodie

    hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
    At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
    Thanks for your assistance...

  • Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

    We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection.   My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more? 
    In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB.  I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper.  It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper.  I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
    I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how.   I would like someone to step me through the process.
    I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go for it; I'll listen.
    Thanks,  Bud

    Bud,
    BudV a écrit:
    I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go for it; I'll listen.
    You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
    Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
    - Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
    - From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
    Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
    Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
    Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
    - Absolutely do a full backup before
    - run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
    - If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
    That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!

  • How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

    I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
    Many Thanks
    Carlos

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..
