That is good to hear. I suggest watching videos:
https://media.libreplanet.org

> > https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/freesoftwarepresentation

On that hyperlink I would tell for Paul that it is better to separate
FreeSoftwarePresentation with spaces as it will be better picked up by
search engines.

Good for privacy. Email is not safe anyway, but you know how to use
PGP when necessary. It is great communication medium to send any kind
of files. Email message is truly an exchangeable shareable
hyperdocument that advanced collaboration in the world.

I would like, with some next funds available, to open up GNU Free
Software club here and there and let people promote GNU Free Software
in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda as in those countries it is
needed. It would be especially useful to have such club nearby
universities so that it is self sustained providing some services and
allowing people to learn programming and obtaining free software.

I was holding computer club back in time, two-three times, and would
like to establish new.

Re: Colonizing education

2020-12-09 Thread Paul Sutton via libreplanet-discuss 

Hi All

The links to the resources are below,  the shoetool, rewind and 
university of costumed heroes videos are all on the fsf website anyway, 
Just spotted the tedx talk, which I didn't know existed so I can add 
that to the dvd perhaps.


https://www.fsf.org/resources/videos/

Not too sure where the creative commons video is  I downloaded that one 
years ago.   If this dvd resource is OK I can perhaps download the tedX 
talk.


The dvd iso is here on disroot it is 447 MB in size,  it may expire 
Thursday Am UK time, as I don't think i set the expiration long enough.


https://upload.disroot.org/r/XwQ25NVu#J6sNZWToFgqbWbLYYfOr7em1+VzpnvAuBRrN3El5T/I=


I am not sure how to resize a video, kdenlive converted the downloaded 
video files to vob for me, (what ever vob is) and just walked me through 
making a title page which I had done before so understood the basic 
idea.  They play full screen anyway or they can.


My main reason for doing this is that having them on a physical dvd I 
can play anywhere,  the iso the same, right click, open in vlc.




Hope this helps

Paul Sutton

Hi
Happy to share just trying to figure out the best way to share it  it is
about 415mb in size, so I can upload to https://upload.disroot.org/
which has a max upload size of 2gb and send the link over.

Then take it from there.

I have used kdenlive in the past for making dance videos
(shellblade.net/shuffle.html), and it's legit stuff. At some point I
also tried OpenShot, but the performance was rather sluggish at the
time. With kdenlive that wasn't a problem, and there were also no
surprises in the rendered output in terms of the audio/video
synchronisation (which is important for dance videos, as you can
imagine.)

I recommend that you first resize the video, as even with small video
size we can already see something. Then if you do wish to upload video
then I recommend using Mediagoblin instances or OpenTube.

MediaGoblin instances
https://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Live_instances

Open Tube - video publishing on free software
https://open.tube

Here is a handy Emacs function that can help you convert multiple
videos one by one in background:

(defun video2webm-dired ()
  "Converts any video to webm"
  (interactive)
  (let* ((bitrate (read-number "Bitrate: " 300))
 (videos (dired-get-marked-files))
 (videos (mapcar 'video-mime-type-p videos))
 (videos (seq-remove 'null videos))
 (async-shell-command-buffer 'new-buffer)
 (command (format "ffmpeg -y -i `?` -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v %sk -pass 1 
-passlogfile `?` -speed 4 -c:a libopus -f webm /dev/null -async 1 -vsync 
passthrough && ffmpeg -y -i `?` -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v %sk -pass 2 -passlogfile 
`?` -speed 1 -c:a libopus \`?`.webm -async 1 -vsync passthrough && rm 
`?`-0.log;" bitrate bitrate)))
(dired-do-async-shell-command command nil videos)))

(defun video-mime-type-p (file)
  "Determines mime type of video"
  (let ((mime-type (rcd-mime-type file)))
(if (string-match "video" mime-type) file nil)))

(defun rcd-mime-type (file)
  "Returns mime type of the file"
  (let ((file-command (executable-find "file"))
(mimetype (executable-find "mimetype")))
;; TODO:
;; There is much work to do here to work on various systems for
;; example there may not be same output on BSD and GNU systems.
;; Additional problem is file quoting.
;; file and mimetype may give different results
(if file-command
(string-trim (shell-command-to-string (format "%s -b --mime-type '%s'" 
file-command file)))
  (if mimetype
  (string-trim (shell-command-to-string (format "%s -b '%s'" mimetype 
file)))

You would open up directory, mark the files you wish to convert to
WEBM format and it will start converting. Once you do not see any more
.log files the conversion have been finished. You can try with bitrate
of 500 and it will be I guess good enough. Size will be so much less.

0. Put those functions in a file and load file into Emacs with L in
   Dired or just evaluate functions.
   
1. C-x C-f with Emacs

2. Find directory where is video located

3. Move cursor to directory or mark files to be converted with m

4. M-x video2webm-dired and choose 500 bitrate

Remember that people watch videos about 50% on their mobile phones and
your original video size does not really matter. When video is watched
on computer screen it is still pretty much viewable with some
degradation even if it is smaller in size.
