create high quality video using ffmpeg

You can use the open source ffmpeg program to convert a media file from low quality to high quality format

[shellprompt]# /fullpath/to/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 19 destinationfile.flv

[shellprompt]# /fullpath/to/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -ar 22050 -crf 28 destinationfile.flv

Parameter explained
-crf XX is the quality of the video you are looking for. It’s between 0 and 51 (but between 17 and 23 it’s a reasonable range and the lowest the number is, the better quality the video is going to be).

For the -ar 22050 it’s for adjusting the audio sample range (audio quality). You can choose 11025, 22050 or 44100.

For many other example and details explanation refer Tutorial for FFMPEG

Replace any text from html text by tag name with specific attribute in php

function replace_tag_with_specific_attr_type( $tagAttribute, $tagAttributeValue, $subjectStr, $tagName=null,$replaceStr ) {
if( is_null($tagName) )
$tagName = ‘\w+’;
else
$tagName = preg_quote($tagName);

$tagAttribute = preg_quote($tagAttribute);
$tagAttributeValue = preg_quote($tagAttributeValue);

$match_regex = “/<(“.$tagName.”)[^>]*$tagAttribute\s*=\s*”.
“([‘\”])$tagAttributeValue\\2[^>]*>(.*?)<\/\\1>/”;

preg_match_all($match_regex,
$subjectStr,
$matches,
PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

$result = str_replace($matches[3],$replaceStr,$subjectStr);
return $result;
}

Usage :
Say for Example

$ActualStr : ‘<div class=’bannerpicsd’ ><span style=”margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width: 540px;”>something</span><p style=”float: right; margin: -240px 0 0; width: 200px;”>This is the actual String</p></div>’;
$StrToReplaceWith = ‘This is the replaces str’;

Now you want to replace all the text inside the div tags with class name “bannerpicsd” from $ActualStr with $StrToReplaceWith

Create template specific to node in drupal 6

If you want to have custom templates for your node. You can create templates specific to node ID as follows.

Add the below function in your template.php if its not exists.

function yourcurrentthemename_preprocess_node(&$vars, $hook) {
$node = $vars[‘node’];
$vars[‘template_file’] = ‘node-‘. $node->nid;
}

If the function already exists then add the two lines at the beginning of the function.

Then clear the cache.

So if you want to have a custom template for node id 3 (say for example) then create a template with name node-3.tpl.php in your theme directory.

Now you can customise your template as you need.

Keep Rocking…..Enjoy 🙂
