    Default [TUT] Create screencaps on linux

    We're going to use here mtn instead of mplayer which could not work on ur vps or server coz of something.

    What's the advantage of using it?

    • No gui required,
    • quite simple usage,
    • very fast time of getting caps 0,5-5 seconds (on standard settings)

    So here we go:
    Part I - Installation

    Update your repositories:
    Code: 
    vi /etc/apt/sources.list
    Ubuntu 9.10:
    purge everything from there and enter:
    Code: 
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic universe multiverse
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic universe multiverse
    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe
    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates universe
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates universe
    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse
    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates multiverse
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates multiverse
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security universe
    deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security universe
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security multiverse
    deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security multiverse
    For older versions read here:
    9.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverg...iguration.html
    8.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverg...iguration.html
    8.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg...iguration.html

    Other distro?
    Hm well u gotta google

    Update everything
    Code: 
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    Install required stuff
    Code: 
    sudo apt-get install -y libgd2 libavcodec libavformat libavutil libswscale
    Download and unpack movie thumbnailer (mtn) binary:
    chmod and alias it!
    Code: 
    chmod 777 mtn
    
    vi /your_user_name/.bashrc
    add line:
    alias mtn='/your_destination_path/mtn'
    plus run that command in shell

    Ok installation done.


    Part II - Usage
    Now how it works?
    simple usage:
    Code: 
    mtn moviename.avi
    You'll get moviename_s.jpg as result

    Still u can get some errors with fonts it happens sometimes so use eg.:
    Code: 
    mtn moviename.avi -f /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/VeraBd.ttf
    or other font just make sure that u'll include absolute path to font file.

    Useful parameters:
    Code: 
    -b 0.80 - will skip screen cap if 80% of screen is blank
    -c x - use number instead of x, that's number of columns
    -j 90 - jpeg quality in %
    -r x - number of rows same as columns
    -T text - addtext above output image
    Need something different? Check help, just enter mtn and you'll get a lot more options.

    NOTE - want to get caps of all files in directory and subdirectories? use eg:
    mtn ./*.avi ./*/*.avi
    Got questions? Feel free to ask

    Well u cannot make screencaps from packed files but u can eg. unpack them all and then as source use *.avi or path of folder with movies.

    I usually use the following parameters: -c5 -r10 -h 100 -f ~/Cyberbit.ttf -b 0.6 -D 6 -j 90 -g10

    Check http://moviethumbnail.sourceforge.net/usage.en.html for more info.
