need some video help

together with my friend i made a harsh noise soundtrack to
a movie (guinea pig - a japanese gore flick).

the movie is a avi file with some weird codec and i recoded
it with some free software into mov so i could toss it into
ableton and master the soundtrack there.

now ableton has a feature which allows to create a video
file. the problem is just that whichever codec and settings
i choose the movie ends up either pixelated or huge as hell.


so i tried to put the sound alone and the movie into sony
vegas but i still can't really find a good setting.

now what i'm asking for is if someone is able to download
two files i put up on the internet (300 mb for the original
movie file and a 600 mb wav file) and mix it down in any
software so that the output quality of the movie is similar
to the original and the audio is unaltered as much as
possible.

yeah Ableton is not exactly the best software to compress
video files.
have you tried h.264 codec in Quicktime?

i can try it if you like..

yeah i tried actually - on medium settings the movie part
takes up somewhere about 50 mb and on high 700-800. i tried
something in between but it still looks like ass.

i try to upload the stuff i just have to make a package and
break it into pieces so rapidshit will take it.

without a premium account there is no way of downloading
something from rs. the changed their rules about half a year
ago. befor that i had 150 kb straight from them and always a
free slot, now suddenly - no free lots. coincidence?

anyways mu is the way everybody knows it.

thanks anyways - how much does the file take ?


 

offline Terence Hill from Germany on 2010-01-23 12:37 [#02361413]
Points: 2070 Status: Lurker



602MB..
did it with ffmpeg, tbh i never used it before. Was
really straightforward.. just copied the raw data as is
without altering a single bit.

if you are watching it with our soundtrack than keep your
volume low

okay that was fun and noisy :]

i liked the music in the 'collection' part best, but it was
very effective throughout.

LAZY_TITLE

hope i did this right: i stripped the audio of the original
flick and replaced it with your soundtrack.. no
actual mixing involved.

this came out absolutely how it was supposed to be ! thanks
bunches.

is it possible for you to elaborate how you did that exactly
? this would come in very handy in future projects.

also - may i use that link to share it with a few people -
or are there any limits or do you want to delete it soon ?

okay that nvm that dropbox was a breeze to install actually
and i have already uploaded the movie so you can delete it
from your folder.

yo i had installed the command line version of ffmpeg the
day before just out of curiosity.. this is the most
difficult part especially if you're unfamiliar with the
matter (compiling from source) as i am, but there's
instructions for all OSes … took about 30 minutes an
Mac… (the Windows install looks more complicated
though…) But it seems worth it, really fast and flexible
with tons of options.

basically you navigate to the folder containing your
material and then tell it what to do i.e. for your vid it
was:

"ffmpeg -i input.avi -an -vcodec copy output.avi"
means take the input file, remove the audio (-an), copy the
video as is (-vcodec copy) and save it to a new file.

and then:
"ffmpeg -i output.avi -i audio.wav -vcodec copy -acodec copy
mix.avi"
take both the new video file + the audio file as input, copy
both their raw data and create a new .avi file from that.

etc etc...

i wanted that second command line to put some audio back
into the video because i coudn't find it on cdm.

awesome stuff - as i said this came out exactly as it should
with the quality of the video unaltered and the sound
uncompressed so it sounds harsh.

thanks bunches i owe you one.
