Video Toolchain

Phew. This is challenging.

Using my phone's camera (plus Blender for graphics), I am trying to get good at posting Youtube videos ( http://youtube.com/user/DrFooBarson ).

Here is the tool chain so far.

Audio(Edit)

My phone's "Voice Recorder" app produces .amr files.

I use the Mobile AMR Converter to convert them to .wav, then use Audacity to edit.

Video(Edit)

Conversion(Edit)

My phone's camera produces .3gp files, and so far I have found these methods of transcoding:

  • ffmpeg, e.g.:
    ffmpeg -i VIDEO_001.3gp Foo.wmv
    ffmpeg -i VIDEO_001.3gp Foo.mpg
    ffmpeg -i VIDEO_001.3gp -vf hflip,vflip -r 24 -vcodec rawvideo Foo.avi
  • Format Factory

Editing(Edit)

Amazingly, the only free video program I have found to remotely work is Windows Movie Maker.

But it barely works. When I import a .mpg, sometimes the video is worthless. When I import a .wmv, sometimes everything works except for, get this, saving the final movie. It takes a massive amount of determination and combinations of attempts to get something to work.

...more to follow.
