Iphone – Converter MOV format movies

Copyright (c) 2008 Adam Nowak

The goal is simple: with a copy of a film from the local disk, the change of size, fit to the iPhone screen and implement appropriate codes to help you enjoy a good image and sound quality. At first, however, I would like to emphasize that considering the size of the film will not focus on optimizing the compression itself. Writing a script for this operation is useless – it's a line in the console: ffmpeg-i INPUT _FILE.AVI "-F mp4-vcodec mpeg4-maxrate 10000-b 7000-R-29.97 qmin 2-qmax 5-bufsize 4096-g 300 — acodec libfaac-ab 128k-s 480×320-aspect 4:3 "output_file. MOV" Of course, you have to install the appropriate codecs (unless already done) and the entry of the file (the film).

# Apt-get install ffmpeg libfaac0 FAAC mpeglib libmpeg2-4

After a long process that consumes enough, we get an output file. Then install the iPhone / / iPod Touch using gtkpod, for example. Voila!

Synchronize the phone book.

In Here the process is more complicated. You have to use the application installation MNPlight Repository: http://movenplay.gforge.inria.fr/iphone. The functions application are well described in the homepage of the project, I strongly believe, however, that you should have no problem understanding it. The application allows the import and export MNPlight the phone book format in Mozilla Thunderbird (Google Mail), and the export / Import format calendar in Google Calendar. It also has some other features that I personally have never used. I recommend visiting the website for more information.

Your MP3 ringtones to iPhone

Warning! This process only works with iPhone 1.1.1 software. iPhone uses sound encoded AAC. Most of us have in the *. mp3 or *. ogg. The conversion process itself is a complicated. First, to convert a sound file in format *. wav using mplayer, next to convert the *. wav by the appropriate encoder (FAAC), which creates an output file M4A. I wrote the script that automates the mentioned process:

# / Bin / bash # night Sebastian 'Auczak http://night.jogger.pl # # The conversion from MP3 to iPhone ringtone

echo "Enter the name of the mp3 file (without extension!)" echo-n ">" read IN OUT = "` ls | grep $ IN.mp3 `" echo "convert MP3 to WAV: mplayer-vo null-vc null-ao pcm: fast: file = $ $ out IN.wav FAAC 128-c-b 44100-W IN.wav rm $ $ IN.wav

You have to change the file extension output received from *. m4a to *. m4r and add a trailing space before the file extension, eg

Ringtone.m4a $ ls ringtone.m4a $ mv "ringtone.m4r" $ ls ringtone. M4r Now, let's iPhone 1. Download the corrected file MECA 2. Install the corrected file in: / System / Library / Frameworks / MeCCA.framework / 3. Install file m4r in the directory / Library / Ringtones / 4. Restart the phone

The tone should be available in the phone menu.

OpenSource tools, as we see, iPhone can use independently of iTunes and Apple products.
