One-line command to shrink some AVIs?

Hey,
I ripped some television episodes from DVD, 22 mins each at a bit too high quality, they're 500-700MB each. I would like to free up some of that space, any idea what a one-line mencoder or transcode or whatever command would be to shrink them down a bit? I tried the man pages for the above, but they just confuse the hell out of me.

try a vist to Simplerip for quick generation of a one liner.
I use
mencoder
- noskip
--vf harddup
-vf scale
-xy 640
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000
-oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=2:cbr:br=128:vol=0
infile -o outfile
for quick recodes

How can "multiple folders/files" be deleted in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE

I can delete remote folders/files via bat command with psexec (below) but;
It takes a little time because of the 9 different folders. Maybe, looping of txt file can be used for different folders.
So how we can delete multiple folders in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE?
Here my working code but it does its job in 9 steps :(
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\1*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

How to get the results in one line

Hi
if i use the script below i get the name of path and then : and in next line i get the results.is there a way to get the results from every path after the : and not in the next line?
another question - is there a way that the script will not show the server name on every path?
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances | Get-Counter
THC

If you take you script and pipe it to get member, it will give you a list of various script properties.
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances | Get-Counter | get-member
You will see that the object type returned by "Get-Counter" is Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.PerformanceCounterSampleSet.
TypeName:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.PerformanceCounterSampleSet
Name MemberType Definition
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
ToString Method string ToString()
CounterSamples Property Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.Perfo...
Timestamp Property datetime Timestamp {get;set;}
Readings ScriptProperty System.Object Readings {get=$strPaths = ""...
You can try grabbing different properties, and they will print out differently, displaying the data on the same line in some cases. For example, pipe your output to a "foreach-object" block, and then for each object print out the CounterSamples property.
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances | Get-Counter | foreach-object { ($_).CounterSamples }
This should all print on one line now. However, you also asked if there was a way to not have the server print out on every line. The way to control the format of these outputs is to use the "format-table" cmdlet. So you would pipe your output to format-table
and then give it various options. This is how you would pipe it (without any options).
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances |
Get-Counter | object { ($_).CounterSamples | format-table }#OR USE YOUR ORIGINAL CODE(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances |
Get-Counter | format-table }
Now, it's up to you to give format-table the options you want. With no options, output will look unchanged. To see what options are available to you, use get-help.
get-help format-table
I hope this helps!
Thank for all the info...

Multiple paragraph styles in one line

I'm creating a training manual and I am having trouble with paragraph styles. Here's an example of what I am trying to do:
"The Dog walks up the hill"
In the above example, I have created a style for the bolded text and connected it my table of contents. The idea is when I create and update the TOC, "The Dog" will be the entry with the remaining text omitted from the TOC. The issue I am having is because the text is on one line, I cannot have multiple styles. I've tried writing just "The Dog" and then either changing the style or deleting the paragraph break to connect the text below to the main line. Once I erase the paragraph break and the text is on one line, only ONE style is maintained. Now, I can modify the character style; however, because the paragraph style is still the one connected to the TOC, the entire paragraph appears in the TOC.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere to no avail.
Thank you very much for your support.

It depends on the breed of dog.
Is the paragraph always a single line?
Is this dog the leader of the pack? IE, does the phrase you want to keep always begin the paragraph? If so, then you can separate the dog from the pack in the TOC. One way is to surround the pack with a unique character or marker in the main text, like End Nested Style Here, - one after dog, and another after hill, and create a paragraph style for the doggie paragraph to use in the TOC. This paragraph should contain a nested character style that applies microscopic text properties, like paper character color, font .1pt, and horizontal scale .1%. The TOC entries should use nested paragraph styles; the source paragraphs need you to insert the End Nested Style Here markers. The nested style definition in the TOC paragraph styles should apply no character style through the first end nested style marker, then apply microscopic through the next end nested style marker. This will shrink the walks...hill text to an invisible speck, so small that it shouldn't interfere with tab leaders and page-references.
Another approach is to use a single-row table for the heading, with the dog pent nicely in the left cell, and the pack in the right cell. Each cell contains a paragraph, so only extract the dog to the TOC.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign hide part of paragraph in toc knowhowpro," "InDesign suppress part of paragraph in contents knowhowpro," "InDesign two paragraph styles on one line," and similar phrases without quotes for some good discussions and a variety of approaches that include layers, anchored frames, and conditional text.

How do I scroll one line at a time in Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lion but need the functionality of the scroll bar arrows. I have learned that the functionality of the arrows is part of the core operating system and is not being replaced. Any suggestions as to any add-on devices that would allow this function?
Thanks,
Rich

If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

Bash script question, how do I create multiple directories on one line

I am making a package for amavisd-new (yes I am aware that there is one in community but I can't say I like the way it is done).
I have an install script from which I want to create multiple directories if they do not exist.
So I want to create a directory /var/spool/amavis with subdirectories of var tmp virusmails spammassassin .
I can't seem to be able to find a way to do this on one line.

Good one!
Also, it's by far the more dynamic method.
If you want to get pedantic, it's also far less efficient in terms of execution time: each iteration of the loop forks a new process, whereas using a single mkdir command forks only once. The "best" way is the curly-braces method demonstrated above by chimeric.

HTML code displays on one line in browser view source

Hi,
In Dreamweaver, my HTML code displays returns, spaces, etc. However, in the view source option in a browser (Firefox in particular), all the code is displayed on one single line. I only found about this because I was having problems with my Google Ads not displaying. (A Google customer service person helped me to find a workaround for this since I still haven't figured how to get my code to display correctly.) So I have gone to Preferences in DW and changed my Code Format Line Break type. The result is the same with each of the three options: the code is all on one line when you check it under view source in a browser. (The server is Linux.)
Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, I think I know how this happened in the first place. I copied my code to TextEdit for a quick backup the other day, and then I pasted it back to DW. Bad idea? Is the only way to get the code back to normal to re-write it in a new HTML file in DW?

Pssh. Problem solved, but I'm not quite sure how. I did go back and try to clean up some redundant CSS and other things, but the HTML/CSS validator still shows that I have this one invalid <header> tag (www.nextmontenegro.com), but since that was written as part of the DW template, I just left it. Weird. Anyway, the code flows down the page now.
Thanks for the quick replies and helpful hints:-)

How can I make a custom one-line-per-test rpt using TestStand?

I have written a 1-line-per-test report in another LabView application. How can I do the same within TestStand 4.0? I would like to display the usual information: Description, Measurement Reading & Units, Pass/Fail, Lower Limit, and Upper Limit all in a concise, one line rpt. Isn't most of this data available within TestStand?

I would have figured this to be a pretty common use case, so I was wondering if anyone has made/edited a report sequence that does this?
For example, the default report text looks something like:

Fillable pdf's returned by clients are readable only one line at a time

We have been emailing fillable pdf questionnaires to our customers for them to complete and return via email. When some of them have come
back, they are only viewable one line at a time, we need to highlight the fillable field that the customer completed so we can view their answer.
Does anyone know why this occurs and why it would be isolated to a few cases? Thanks!

Photo printing slow one line at a time

My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer, etc.....
That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

More than one VAT code on one line item?

Hello,
Running ECS SRM 5.0.
Is it absolutely impossible to set more than one VAT code on one order line in a SC or PO?
Can this be acomplished by using a user exit or anything?
This demand comes from a public sector company which pays different VAT dependent on what they use as account assignment. In some orders when split account assignment is used, it might be two different VAT codes on the same line.

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
As far as i know, this is standard SRM functionality as it not feasible to have multiple VAT codes against one line item.. This is not possible .. Please confirm the same with SAP by creating a Customer OSS message.. Do let me know...
However this is possible by making the code as per your business requirments using BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.. However, since i have not tried this.. You need to try this yourself..
Hope this will answer your query..

INDESIGN GLITCH: Creating an XML file from Indesign Layout - Issue "Using more than one line of GREP" & "Map Styles to Tags"

I currently create XML from InDesign CC by Mapping Style to Tags.
- The Paragraph Styles are manually apply to text. These styles include multiple lines of GREP to automatically apply character styles.
- I map some of the paragraph and character styles to prebuilt tags that have the same name "Map Styles to Tags".
I have found through trouble-shooting that InDesign is unable to "Map Styles to Tags" for more than one line of GREP. I therefore have to chose which line of GREP to automatically tag and which lines to manually tag.
Please can anyone help, I need to automatically map tags to at least two character styles in one paragraph via GREP.
Thanks,

OK. The best I can suggest is running a Find/Change like this:
Which will actually apply the character style to the italics (and I would do the bold as well just to make certain). Then run the Map Styles to Tags again, using the Apply by Name. Which will tag the italics.
I don't know why ID can map to the bold and not the italic character style. It either should do them both (as in this instance) or none at all as the character styles are not actually applied by the grep, just the styling from the character styles.
