sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

# video converting with ffmpeg
The default ffmpeg installation does not support all features so do this way:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52

#Change flv/avi files to mp4(parameters customized for nokia 5800 mobile phone)

ffmpeg -f mp4 -vcodec libxvid -s 640x360 -b 768k -r 25 -aspect 16:9 -acodec libfaac -ab 96k -ar 44100 -ac 2 output.mp4 -i input.avi/flv

#change to mp3 (more info in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125181 )

ffmpeg -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128 -vn -y output.mp3 -i “mysource.flv”

# bash scrit to convert all files in a folder to mp4 using the above method

for i in *;
do ffmpeg -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 2200k -r 30 -s 640x360 -acodec libfaac -ar 32000 -ab 128k -ac 2 "_$i.mp4" -i "$i";
done

# convert all files in the current folder to mp3

for i in *;
do ffmpeg -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128 -vn -y "_$i.mp3" -i "$i";
done

Python : split any file (binary) to different pieces and join them

This python program takes an input file and then splits it into different smaller chunks. Next it can collect all the different chunks and join it to get the original file. -------------------------------------------------------- # define the function to split the file into smaller chunks def splitFile(inputFile,chunkSize): #read the contents of the file f = open(inputFile, 'rb') data = f.read() # read the entire content of the file f.close() # get the length of data, ie size of the input file in bytes bytes = len(data) #calculate the number of chunks to be created noOfChunks= bytes/chunkSize if(bytes%chunkSize): noOfChunks+=1 #create a info.txt file for writing metadata f = open('info.txt', 'w') f.write(inputFile+','+'chunk,'+str(noOfChunks)+','+str(chunkSize)) f.close() chunkNames = [] for i in range(0, bytes+1, chunkSize): fn1 = "chunk%s...

calculate hop count in a graph using python

The following program finds out the hop count of the nodes in a connected network. Hop Count means the number of point to point connections in a graph of network. For example, in the graph shown below the hop count from node a to node b is one, node b to node c is two, etc. This program assumes the graph given above. usage : getHopCount(dictNeigh, node1,node2) Where: dictNeigh : dictionary of list of neighbor of each node in the network node1 and node2 are the nodes for which hop count is calculated by the program Exception: if the nodes are not connected then it returns Zero import copy dictNeigh = dict() # dictNeigh defines the neighbors dictNeigh['a'] = ['b','c','d'] # neighbors of 'a' dictNeigh['b'] = ['a']# neighbors of 'b' dictNeigh['c'] = ['a','d'] dictNeigh['d'] = ['a','c','e'] dictNeigh['e'] = ['d','f'] dictN...
