The Little Guy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think that maybe their should be a board (if non-existent) for command line code... I don't know too many, command line software, but off the top of my head: FFMpeg FFServer ImageMagick Zip Tar And many others...

trq Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My linux system has 1211 commands within /usr/bin, should we have a board for all them? Seriously, this is primarily a php forum. If you have questions about any of those commands, there is always the Linux board.

corbin Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Also, most of those commands are self explanatory with a simple read of --help. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-672686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well, I mostly wanted some FFMpeg help, but didn't know what type of board to post it in, and I can not for the life of me find a Community specifically for FFMpeg, other than some MacOSX FFMepg board, but that is for some Mac sort of Mac FFMpeg software, and not command line.

DarkWater Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ffmpeg is a program, not a built-in "command line" thing, so go read the man pages on ffmpeg. man ffmpeg And I just wrote a Perl script to count my files in /usr/bin and I have 2203. >_< Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-673057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 I did, and they don't have an answer for my type of question... and FFMpeg is ran through the command line/terminal. What is man ffmpeg? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-673087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 And I just wrote a Perl script to count my files in /usr/bin and I have 2203. A perl script? Why? ls -l /usr/bin | wc -l Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-673098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 man some-program opens up the manual for whatever program you tell it, as long as the program has a man page. @thorpe: I was already doing some stuff with Perl anyway, so I just wrote a one-liner. I could have used wc too. xD Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-673105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 1824 So where can I ask my FFMpeg question? what would be the best board? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129705-exec-software-board/#findComment-673108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm pretty sure that a thorough reading of the ffmpeg man page would give you a pretty good understanding of what you want to do with it, but if you really can't get it, I'd probably post in the Linux board.

The Little Guy Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here would be my question: I would like take my current command, and make it better. I have many videos, all videos convert to about 10-15MB with about the same quality of YouTube, yet YouTube's files are about half that size. Off-Topic: What would be the best way to add the videos? I currently upload to a subdomain temporary folder, then every 5 minutes run a cron to convert the file to flv, then take a snapshot of a random frame in the video, then delete the original file. How should I manage the files? Is this the best way to manage videos?
