Homebrew Ubuntu + Moonshell + DPG = ??

[Pippin666]

I tried this without luck : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDs-mPeG#For_Linux

Is there anything easy to encode dpg file under Ubuntu ??

I've not come across any other ways, always have to jump onto my win2k3 machine to do it...if you are 'stuck' in Ubuntu how about running dpgenc.exe in wine?

 

[Pippin666]

I did try dpgenc.exe under Wine, but I am always getting an error from ffmpeg.exe and the program closes.

So let's say, that I have an divx (.avi) in my /home named 123.avi, I would simply have to open a terminal and type

mencoder 123.avi -o out.mpg -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:vrc_maxrate=512:vbitrate=256:vstrict=-1 -ofps 18 -vf scale=256:192

If yes, would this directly give me a proper file ready to use in Moonshell ??

In any case, if I do I get this error :

pip@pip-desktop:~$ mencoder kop4b.avi -o out.mpg -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:vrc_maxrate=512:vbitrate=256:vstrict=-1 -ofps 18 -vf scale=256:192

You should install a version of Windows. Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution will fail.

No, I'm afraid not, if you look at the command all it's doing is converting an .vi to a .mpg. The whole process is multi step. Here's the best tut I've found: http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7897, and the second best: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=852999

 

[Pippin666]

The tuto from the ubuntu forum is easy to set up, but the link to dpgconv-0.43.py is down !!

Google seems to think this is it:

[WalterCool]

Please, NO!

Avoid wintroll comments...

For ubuntu, you can use that application: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7WJ3VBA3

You must use a shell or console for that.

If you want install it, please do that:

sudo su
mv dpgconv /usr/local/bin

now on shell you can do dpgconv , and you will get a dpg video =P

 

[DanTheManMS]

As far as I know, DPGConv is the best way to convert to DPG in Linux, as WalterCool stated. Give it a shot before trying other methods.

 

[ChuckMcB]

Yup, WalterCool's app that he links to is the same as dpgconv-0.43.py. Are you saying that you do not need to Follow the other 'setup' steps listed here
