I use Google talk for chatting with other gmail users. Is there a way tha I can use audio and video in Google talk as well so that they can see my picture and hear my voice?
These answers don't satisfy MY needs. My mobile supports .3gp and .avi formats
3gp files are always smaller in size but with least quality (especially audio part)
Avi (certainly) exhibits better quality but the video converter I am using (namely Xillisoft VidConverter) outputs avi file with very high size, which isn't suitable for portable devices
So I'm looking for (essentially free or open source) software that creates smaller files with a better quality than 3gp!
thank you :-)
I'm trying to convert some video to H.264 and play it on my Android mobile phone.
I have Adobe Media Encoder and can easily create files that play on my PC but when I copy them to the phone the media player app just complains that it can't play them.
Are there some particular settings I need to use in the encoder?
Is therer a way to make pause ques in Windows Media Video, like sprites in Quicktime?
I want to be able to run a wmv file in Windows Media Player that stops automaticly on a text, then I click and the film starts again and goes on to the next text and stops, and so on.
If I load and play a long (2 hr) DIVX movie in the browser using the mplayer-mozilla plugin, the player stops playing after a period of time and resets itself, losing the loaded video buffer, so that the movie needs to be re-downloaded.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10

Hi all, just wanted to ask about Hardware-assisted 720p video playback on an Intel Atom D510 machine, running on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. When I use Boxee with Hardware Assisted Decoding activated, I am able to play 720p videos -- whether on the local harddisk drive or on a remote server, through LAN. However when I play the same 720p videos through Totem or through Gnome MPlayer, the resulting playback suffers from stuttering and slideshow-like slowdowns. Would it be possible to make 720p video playback on Totem and Gnome MPlayer more smooth given that my machine's processor in the Intel Atom D510? If yes, how? Boxee seems to manage, so I assume it should also be possible to tweak Totem and/or Gnome MPlayer to be able to do the same.
As an added note, I the machine's OS is Linux Mint 8. Installed RAM is 2GB.
I need the best Nvidia Graphics Card for Encoding and Video editing. The budget is anything lower than $75. I need the card to be able to play 1080p videos full screen, and encode HD videos quickly and smoothly. Whats the best card for me?
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
Can anyone recommend a basic video card that will run a Dell 3007WFP at 2560x1600 well enough for a business workstation? I don't need anything fancy, just a cheap VGA AGP card that won't stutter while I'm programming.
Thanks!
Edit
I meant to say AGP rather than VGA.

I'm looking for a chat protocol which:
Has easy to use clients which will run on both Windows and Linux.
Has a server which I can run myself on Linux (preferably easy to set up).
Supports duplexed voice and video with minimal hassle (optional).
Is open source/free software.
Is there a protocol that fulfils these requirements?
I have received permission from someone to translate the audio in their movies. The problem I am facing is that the video quality is quite poor and the author does not have the original videos any more.
How can I replace the audio in the YouTube videos without further degrading the quality of the videos?
Thanks,
Tom
I have a small video that I would like to convert to black and white. I'm on Ubuntu, and I've avidemux installed. I will be OK if it can be done with some other software if not avidemux; basically, using some open source or free software, not a software for which I've to pay.
I have this 356MB .rmvb file that I converted to .avi and it became 2Gb.
But the size is still the same, and the quality still sucks. Is there any tool that could increase the resolution and quality of this video so that it would fit with my monitor.
I tried to do this with ffmpeg but failed (i also failled making animated gifs). Is there a simple to use free program (command line is ok) to convert videos to animated pngs?
As long as it doesnt dump the video frame by frame into png files and create a monster size png then i should like it.(I didnt see an option to make ffmpeg not dump every frame)
From the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG
I am trying to use wax to speed up a video. I do not see an option for this. I searched [google] but all I could find was to turn up the frame rate. I don't see an option for this.
I have a bunch of avi's I am converting to m4v, and I can do this in QuickTime by opening the video and then go 'Save As', select a folder, select the type (iPhone, Movie, etc), blah blah blah. But I have around 100 videos I want to do this with. Command line options? Or batch processing options in the GUI? Enlighten me, please.
This is QuickTime X on Snow Leopard.
I am looking for suggestions for video editing programs like iMovie, which are dead simple to use. We just need basic editing and titling features for making videos of our kids slightly more watchable. Nothing too fancy. The major requirement is that it needs to be extremely easy to use even without prior editor experience.
We're running Windows XP on some machines and Vista the rest.
Free is preferred however ease-of use trumps price.
This might be an impossible question to answer remotely but I figure there may be some common causes that people can suggest so I think it's worth asking...
Video no longer plays smoothly on my laptop. It used to but not for a while now. For example, playing a video on YouTube is pretty typical: I press play (making sure it's not on HD or even HQ) and the video buffers a little then starts to play. At first it plays fine then the video starts to stutter, turning into a slideshow while the sound continues to play smoothly. If I try playing the same video on my Playstation 3 (which is linked to the same network) it plays smoothly so it can't be the connection.
Another example is streaming DivX videos. Again, I wait while it buffers and it starts but very soon, instead of a slideshow, this time the video just plays slowly while the sound continues as normal (instantly getting out of sync). Even if I let the video fully load before pressing play (i.e. it's no longer streaming), it still behaves the same way. I can even let it load 100% then save the file to hard disk and use VLC player to view it, and the same thing happens.
I'm using an old laptop running Windows XP. For the past several years it's been connected to the router via Wi-Fi but in the past few days I've changed that to a network cable (like my PS3) but that hasn't helped. Yes, I regularly install various bits and pieces of software but nothing that I can identify as being the cause.
So, are there known causes of this sort of behaviour and if so, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks.
Update to answer a few questions...
Laptop Spec' (note: video has played back fine for the majority of time I've had the laptop)
Toshiba Satellite 1900-603 (possibly called something else outside the UK)
Intel Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz Processor
Originally had 512Mb memory but recently doubled that to 1 Gig of memory
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 16Mb DDR VRAM
Windows XP SP3 (Home edition)
Over the years I've done several things to speed it up (disabling indexing etc) and am generally happy with the performance. I also regularly have a clear out of old software (if for no other reason than the laptop only has a 40Gb hard disk) and use CCleaner and Glary Utilities to strip out much of the crap from my system.
Also recently (after doubling the memory), I've tried a few new things which might be likely candidates for slowing the video down such as Rocketdock, Jingle keyboard (which gives an old style 'clacky' typewriter sound when I type - love it), SugarSync, Taskbar Shuffle. However, the video doesn't play smoothly even when I try quit all these apps.
What is the best CLI tool (preferably Linux based) that will allow concatenating video files, and also compressing them on the client-side for YouTube upload?
Thanks
I would like to make a six second video using six images. Each second is sliding over one image from its top to its botom. Or some other motion effect – I would like to try several.
I tried
kdenlive
Imagination
Videoporama
PhotoFilmStrip
The first one has not enough settings (don't remember what exactly) and all those have rather poor quality – the resized picture is very "aliased" (like no quadratic filter was applied during resizing).
Is there any single application that convert all the following video file formats (3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, dv, dvx, flv, gif, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, wmv, xvid) to Flv?
I've used mencoder's speed parameter to generate a video which is played at half the speed. This basically means halving the framerate of the video. But I'm interested in software that could convert a 30fps video to another 30fps video with half the frames interpolated, maybe using the motion information stored in the video stream per se. I think this is called intra-frame interpolation, but I haven't found anything practical other than research papers.
Any pointers to such software?
