Easy way to make a video for your Z

[alan]

Hi guys !
Googling aound, i found a little script on this site

http://cmisip.home.insightbb.com/

Here it comes :

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#version 1.1
#Changes 1-1.1
#Added aspect ratio.  There will be black bars on top and bottom to keep the resolution at 320x240 to avoid software scaling on the Z.
#Fixed AV_DELAY


#This script should convert any mplayer playable video file (audio + video) to ogm format playable on the sharp zaurus 5600 using mplayer with Tremor codec support. You need mencoder and mplayer of course, plus oggenc and ogmmerge.  


#Variable assignment
ENCODE_RATE=22050
AV_DELAY=200
VIDEO_BITRATE=150
OUTPUT_FPS=15
BRIGHTNESS=15
AUDIO_QUALITY=2
X_RESOLUTION=320
Y_RESOLUTION=240




#Check the command line arguments
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
              echo "Usage is 'createogm   ' "
              exit
              fi

if [ -z "$2" ]; then
              echo "Usage is 'createogm   ' "
              exit
              fi

if [ -f "$2" ]; then
              echo "The file $2 exists. Aborting "
              exit
              fi

#find $1 2>/dev/null
#if [ $? = 1   ]; then
#              echo "Cannot find source file. Aborting"
#              exit
#fi

#Check the source audio rate

AUDIO_RATE=$(mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 0 -identify $1 2>/dev/null | grep "ID_AUDIO_RATE" | sed "s/ID_AUDIO_RATE=//g")


if [ -z $AUDIO_RATE  ]; then
              echo "Cannot detect audio in source file. Aborting"
              exit
fi



#Delete log files from previous encodes

if [ -f divx2pass.log ]; then
rm divx2pass.log

if [ -f audiotmp.wav ]; then
rm audiotmp.wav

if [ -f videotmp.avi ]; then

if [ -f audiotmp.ogg ]; then

It works fast and very well. It produces light and beautiful movies : a 20min episode of futurama is 30mo and Metropolis (2 hours) is 190 mo. To use it, it's simple :

Code: [Select]

sh createogm
One thing is to be noticed yet : you should edit the "Y_RESOLUTION=240" line in order to keep your aspect ratio.

This leads me to a request : could someone optimize this script so that it automtically keeps the video aspect ratio or automatically crop depending on the output ? I don't know a lot about this, but i'm trying to learn , any help would ba appreciated.

PS: feel free to mail the author of this script, he did a good job !
