ffmpeg & transcode on tremulous
first of all i need to thank codernem for this nice mini-howto.
yesterday playing at tremulous i have tried a new mod, benmachine mod.
i think it was in testing cos wasn’t very playable.
however i have recorded demos, /record /stoprecord.
after this i have thought to make video, /video /stopvideo while playing /demo.
i have recorded the videos but they was so much large, 2giga every 5 minutes asdasd.
now start the mini-howto to make videos smaller, remember that i’m a linux user. my os is Archlinux.
this mini howto is made using ffmpeg & transcode with their respective depends.
i have followed this 2 simple step:
1) ffmpeg -i video.avi -ar 44100 -b 2048 -f mpeg -s 800x600 video2.mpg
to make the mpeg4 from an mjpeg
2) transcode -G 0.5 -i video2.mpg -o videofinal.mpg -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -w 2048
to make video lighter
the matter is that tremulous split video recording every 5 minutes. so after the first step i have joined the frame into one with Kino, importing the mpegs and appending them into one project to exports to mpeg again, and finally the second step to make lighter the video.
finally i have uploaded my videos.
