Re: How to convert and edit HD videos

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:48:11 -0700

Thanks for your sharing.And I wanna to talk about my experience.I have used Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for two years.For me,it is really a perfect program.It surely can convert btween almost all the popular video formats.What attracts me most is its powerful editing function.The trim function allows me to get a specific length of video accurately since its inner seek function can capture any key frame of video, while with crop, you can cut off the black edges and unwanted video area easily. I also can join multiple videos into one bigger file for conversion, as well as replacing the original audio with other music or sounds I like. It really brought me a lot of fun.
That's just my own some idea.Hope those who have the same interest friends have a try:)

Re: C/C++ sound/music programming

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:27:06 -0700

Typically programming with third party platform compatible libraries is the way to start with. Libraries such as RTMidi, JDKMidi etc...

JDKMidi is better than RTMidi in its capabilities. If you wish to not learn about MIDI complexities, and purely want to concentrate on programming the Music, then you can consider the CFugue MusicNote library.

Popularily referred to as CFugue, meaning Carnatic Fugue or the C/C++ replacement of JFugue, MusicNoteLib is a high level Music Programming Library. This library makes it possible to play music notes directly from C/C++ programs, without ever having to deal with the low-level MIDI complexities. This library provides a beautiful abstraction that lets you concetrate on programming the music rather than worry about the MIDI nuances. Provides features that makes it possible to use this library directly from many platforms, including but not limited to ASP pages, .Net applications and even non-Windows based systems.

For usage samples and further details, please refer to the documentation at http://musicnote.sourceforge.net/docs/html/index.html

Using this library to play music is as easy as writing plain music notes. Just create a Player object and call the Play method on it supplying the Music notes to be played. Simple.

Example Usage:

MusicNoteLib::Player player; // Create the Player Object
player.Play("C D E F G A B"); // Play the Music Notes on the default MIDI output port

With built-in support for both Carnatic and Western Music alike, this is the first and only one of its kind.

If you wish to take part in building this world class library, join the CFugue project development team at: http://musicnote.sourceforge.net/

My objective is to make a speaker recognition program using Delphi.

So far, I have managed to record my voice through a microphone into a .wav file. However, I get confused about how to process the .wav file using FFT to get the frequency domain. I have read several papers about FFT, yet they are too theoritical and when I find it difficult to put it into Delphi codes.

Hi,

I think this example should help:

Simply play audio?

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:48:45 -0700

Is there a simple/efficient way to play a frequency at a volume using c++? I need a way to play sound through the speakers so I don't think Beep() will do the job, but I want to have access to the audio in the memory so I don't thing PlaySound() will work either. I do not want to use any libraries either. I just want to play a frequency, I can load the input file myself. Is there some way I can do this by just using the libraries that come standard on windows XP OS?

Re: You tube Video Downloads

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:52:06 -0700

Hi..hope this little tip could help you..
No need to download any software...just try
visiting this URL..

1. Go to keepvid.com
2. Enter the URL in the box with the Download button.
3. Click on the type of website you are downloading from, like YouTube.
4. There will be a box that lets you choose from high/low quality .flv and high quality .mp4 videos. Choose .mp4 videos, as this is the format that itunes supports.
5. Click save to save it onto videos (on your computer), then rename it to the title. Make sure to save it into your videos folder so that you can find it easily.
6. On iTunes, go to videos, click open, and you will find the video!

This is the easiest method, because the only thing you have to download is the video. It doesn't require you to download anything else. Also, you don't get problems, like in the other YouTube video downloaders.

mp3 audio xing header TOC specification/information

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:03:25 -0700

Can anyone point me at the definition/specification of the contents of a Xing header TOC please.
I've spent hours googling for this and can only find
"Every TOC entry contains the size of the n-th frame. Calculating the position of the 3rd frame should look as following: header_size + toc[0] + toc[1] + toc[2]"
which obviously isn't correct as there is always 100 TOC entries (and the calculation example would give the start position of the 4th frame).
Ive investigated existing Xing files and the TOC contains 100 bytes, the first being zero and each incremented by 2, 3, 4 etc.
Example 0, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11 ........ 248, 251, 253.
I am writing a C program which creates a .mp3 audio file from extracts from various other .mp3 files and so the result will be a Variable Bit Rate file.
I've everything working now and the result plays fine. However, I need to allow positioning within the file when being played (e.g. by Windows Media Player) which I think creating a correct TOC will do.
[If anyone is interested the program produces music to run to: selected tracks with 'timers' inside telling you your remaining duration etc. Once working I will be giving it away for free, including the C source if required.]

Re: You tube Video Downloads

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:47:28 -0700

Hi..Just a simple problem..All that you have to do is to
follow these steps..:

Step1 : Get the URL of the Video (not the embed one)

Step2 : Visit this site - http://www.vconversion.com/

Step3 : Paste the URL and convert.After that save it.

Step4 : Visit this site - http://media-convert.com/convert/

Step5 : Browse and select 3gp on the bottom box. And wait until it
finished downloading.

Hope that it helps !

Re: blending audio data

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:03:36 -0700

Hi,

Mixing (or blending) digital audio is just the sample-by-sample sum of the audio values. So if you have two buffers of audio data, create a third buffer of the same size and for each position in the new buffer, add the 2 values of the other buffers together and copy this new value into the third buffer. The third buffer will then contain the 2 channels mixed together.

Out of interest, what API / library are you using to process audio data?

Regards,

Daire

blending audio data

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:45:40 -0700

hello,

can someone tell me how to blend audio data (its voice data actually) from a byte array point of view ? so lets say ive got 2 arrays of audio data, and each array is 10 bytes long:

array1 -> 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05
array2 -> 0x06, 0x05, 0x09, 0x05, 0x04, 0x10, 0x0A, 0x06, 0x0B, 0x03

what i want to do is to blend/combine/merge these into one array. note i dont want to concatenate one onto the other, to give me a 20 byte array, i want to play both arrays at the same time. for example, if array one was someone saying 'hello', and array 2 was someone saying 'goodbye', then in the merged array you would hear both people saying 'hello' and 'goodbye' at the same time. is this even possible ?

a bit of background on what im doing - im making a VOIP system using the WAV api in a C# app. im using the GSM610 codec, and the result is that the average bytes per second recorded from the microphone is 6500 bytes. because the buffer size is 650 bytes, so each client sends 650 bytes of voice data to the server every 10th of a second, thus resulting in 6500 bytes per sec.

the server must then forward these 650 bytes onto all other clients. so if only 2 clients are connected to the server, this is fine, because client A sends 650 bytes to the server, and the server forwards these onto client B. in this case client B is playing client A's voice data at the same rate as client A recorded it. however when a third client C is introduced, now both client A and client C are sending 650 bytes to client B = 1300 bytes. if another client connected, this would now be 650 * 3 = 1950 bytes and so on....but each client only processes 6500 bytes per second, hence things start to sound wrong.

so i need a way of merging each set of 650 bytes into one set of 650 bytes, and then send this merged set to each client. is this performed using a bitwise operation on each byte for example ?
