This tutorial will explainhow to convert an OGV file to FLV. You will need the ffmpeg audio and video encoder.

Install ffmpeg in debian

#apt-get install ffmpeg

To convert an OGV file to flv file use the following command

ffmpeg -i input_file.ogv output_file.flv

You can shrink the size of the output file using the following command

ffmpeg -i input_file.ogv -s 800×600 output_file.flv

This also reduces the size of the Flash video file.

I find bash as one of the most fluid languages. Problem is when ever I come accross people that say they know bash but do not use it because they prefere perl or php. They say they use perl or php because of easy database access and how you can split strings. Today I will explain how to split a string in bash, from a stream even, so you don’t have to load whole files. I will use /etc/passwd as an example so you can follow along.

PIDA is the Python Integrated Development Application. It is an IDE (integrated development environment) written in Python and the GTK+ graphical toolkit.

Pida is an IDE, but one that is slightly different from other IDEs. Rather than attempting to write a set of development tools of its own, Pida uses tools that the developer has available. In this regards Pida can be used as a framework for putting together your own bespoke IDE.
