Merging and Splitting avi’s

Everybody loves DIVX/XVID .avi files. Here’s a couple of useful tips when dealing with them. You may want to join together two halves or split a large video file into multiple, smaller files for easier handling between storage devices.

MERGING AVI FILES

install transcode (sudo apt-get install transcode)

avimerge -o merged.avi -i part1.avi part2.avi

Its as simple as that.

SPLITTING AVI FILES

To split a file into two pieces, install mencoder (sudo apt-get install mencoder) and execute the following commands:

mencoder -endpos 01:00:00 -ovc copy -oac copy movie.avi -o first_half.avi

mencoder -ss 01:00:00 -oac copy -ovc copy movie.avi -o second_half.avi

Done!

Edit wbar dock and conky in crunchbang/openbox

Besides editing the menu.xml to customise the menu, why not install wbar and edit /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar to add convenient quick launch icons to the wbar dock for the most commonly called upon apps. It’s even simpler than editing the menu.xml file, especially if you use vi.

My desktop is quite nicely themed and as conky shows, is very light on resources.

conky – the monitor on the left hand side of the screen can be customised by editing .conkyrc in your home directory. To install it, simply type sudo apt-get install conky then get hacking.
