Slightly OT - MP3 encoding ffmpeg and lame

by Ken Smith

Hi All, I'm trying to get ffmpeg to encode to mp3 format on a Centos 5.5 system. I have an FC6 system with lame 3.97 and ffmpeg 0.4.9 and a FC8 system with lame 3.98 and ffmpeg 0.4.9 both installed from RPM's found at ATrpms. On both FC6 and FC8 systems I can transcode a mpg file (captured by MythTV) to mp3 like this /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i /mnt/store/20560_20100621190000.mpg -ar 48000 -acodec mp3 -ab 128k -f mp3 test.mp3 But with ffmpeg 0.4.9/0.5.2 and lame 3.97/3.98 from either ATrpms or RPMForge on Centos 5.5 I either get an error message about ffmpeg not recognising the mp3 codec or a floating point exception. I must be missing something obvious, but what. Would building either package from source be a better route? Thanks in advance Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Nils Hammerfest

Get Denemo 0.8.18 http://denemo.org/index.php/Get_Denemo Release Notes: -Default behavior is now non-modal * You can choose one out of four Shortcut systems, including the "Classic" one. * an easy to understand and very slick interface via keyboard * seamless integration with MIDI controllers -Better Paste command. -Musical Snippets - store musical riffs/motifs to be pasted at will or as rhythmic templates for playing over. Maximize the space for the score (with/without user's choice of menus). * Standard View - window size, zoom, number of systems etc * No-Menu version of this view * Page View - user chooses a window size, zoom and number of systems, which is stored with the movement for instant recall. * Single keyboard shortcut for toggling between these views (Esc by default). -MIDI transport work for JACK users. -Fix Chord Symbols for music starting with triplets, grace notes etc. -Fix display of dotted rests -Arbitrary Tuplets built in: correct MIDI output as well as engraving, of course. -Diatonic Transposition: Shift notes and chords up and down respecting the current key signature. -Support for figured bass extenders, including those with no starting figure. -Cursor can be highlighted, making it easier to locate -Page turning is animated: as the last line starts to play, the page visibly turns at the top. -Purely rhythmic notes playback using percussion - click tracks more easily generated. -Split Notes and Chords to smaller notes while preserving the original duration (make a quarter note two 8th or tuplet of 8th or 7-tuplet) -Duplicate a Note or Chord as command -Command line interface for interactive scheme use -Support for the "French" clef (G on bottom line)

Linux DaftPunk-ifier?

by Ken Restivo

Is there any way to get the weird electronic vocal effect that Daft Punk (over)uses, via LADSPA plugins glued together (or some other Linux-y means)? Thanks. -ken

Linux-driven show this Saturday in NYC

by Luke Peterson

You, on the motorcycle!...You two girls, tell your friends! You, running the realtime kernel! This Saturday night is linux geek night at Pianos! Linux audio enthusiasts in New York interested in catching a jam-funk show this Saturday night featuring a bristol-and-fluidsynth-driven keyboard should head over to Pianos on the lower east side to see my band, Bonjour, Ganesh!, make our first headlining appearance in Gotham. (show details: http://www.pianosnyc.com/showroom/bonjour-ganesh-071010) We're a many-piece Washington DC-based group who always create a lot of fun for our audience and have a lot of fun doing so. Have a listen to our last big gig at DC's legendary Black Cat: http://www.archive.org/details/bongan2010-05-21 Musician-techies will have a blast watching me juggle live musical performance and computer control: simultaneously keeping my netbook from producing unappealing sounds and noises while also keeping myself from playing wrong notes and chords. The show starts at 8pm with Brooklyn's Remy Balon (http://www.remybalon.com/), and then transitions to three DC-based groups: The Jones at 9pm ( http://www.myspace.com/thejonesmusic), Once Okay Twice at 10pm ( http://www.myspace.com/onceokaytwice), and us, Bonjour Ganesh! at 11 ( http://www.bonjourganesh.com). A free dance party closes out the night when our set ends. Cover is just $10! Pianos is located at 158 Ludlow at Stanton. By Train: or to 2nd Ave/Houston St. Exit at Allen St end of the station and walk two blocks east on Houston to Ludlow, then one block south to Stanton. or to Delancey/Essex. Exit at Delancey/Essex and walk two blocks north on Essex to Stanton, then one block west to Ludlow. By Bus: or to Essex/Houston. Exit onto Essex and walk one block south on Essex to Stanton, then one block west to Ludlow. to Allen/Houston. Exit onto Allen and walk south to Stanton, then east two blocks to Ludlow. See you there! ----- Luke Peterson
