MediaCoder Profile for N800 Video Encoding 9

I use MediaCoder for most of my encoding/transcoding of video for playback on my PC and other devices. The N800 has a peculiar set of parameters for it’s video – if it doesn’t match up then it either won’t play back or will be very choppy. I ended up selling the N800 but I thought I would pass this profile along to anyone who might use it. 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <MediaCoderPrefs>   <node key="overall">     <node key="generic">       <node key="autoRevert">         <value>Never</value>       </node>     </node>     <node key="ui">       <node key="optionTab">         <value>3</value>       </node>       <node key="param">         <value>1069,767,47,50</value>       </node>       <node key="noWelcome">         <value>4068</value>       </node>     </node>     <node key="task"/>    ….

Bash Script to Interface with Rsync Command 1

I created this Bash script as a project for the system administration course I’m taking for the summer. I’m sure there are bugs in it, so let me know if you find any. It basically uses an XML configuration file, which includes the source, destination, and any excludes from the transfer. You then pass either -u or -d (upload or download) and the options -x (delete if not in source) and -f (force). Destination can be local or remote, but source must be local. Here is the code: 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144145146147148149150151152153154155156157158159160161162163164165166167168169170171172173174175#!/bin/bash ## Transfer Script ## By David Drager ## CSC586: Summer II 2008 ## Requires: xml2, rsync ## Settings tempdir="/tmp/" rsynccommand="/usr/bin/rsync" ## Usage command usage="usage: transfer.sh [options] <config-file>.xmlnoptions:n  -d or -u:t download or upload, resp. one and only one must be presentn  -f:ttforce transfer regardless of ‘newness’ of filen  -x:ttdelete items in target not present in source" # Check to make sure….
