• Does anyone know any filters for better low quality video ?

  7 septembre 2022, par kasten

  So maybe my question can be closed, but anyway I'm researching and looking for a tool that can do the following with video files :

  


  Here's an example of what I want :

  


  When you put a low quality video on your TV and look into a mirror that reflects that image, it appears to be sharper, acting as a filter to improve the video.

  


  I don't know if anyone has thought of this fact or if there is a software that does something similar. I know low quality video can't get any better, but why is there an improvement when looking in the mirror ?

  


  I appreciate if anyone can comment, as I'm not a professional in video.

  


• How should I write my privacy notice for Matomo Analytics under GDPR ?

  24 avril 2018, par InnoCraft

  Important note : this blog post has been written by digital analysts, not lawyers. The purpose of this article is to show you an example of a privacy notice for Matomo under GDPR. This work comes from our interpretation of the UK privacy commission : ICO. It cannot be considered as professional legal advice. So as GDPR, this information is subject to change. We strongly advise you to have a look at the different privacy authorities in order to have up to date information.

  A basic rule of thumb is that if you are not processing personal data, then you do not need to show any privacy notice. But if you are doing so, such as processing full IP addresses, then a privacy notice is required at the time of the data collection. Please note that personal data may also be hidden, for example, in page titles or page URLs.

  In this blog post, we will define what a privacy notice is according to GDPR and how to write it if you are using Matomo and you are processing personal data.

  What is a privacy notice under GDPR ?

  One of the most important rights that a data subject has under GDPR, is the right to be informed about the collection and use of their personal data.

  Here is what ICO is saying about the privacy notice :

  “You must provide individuals with information including : your purposes for processing their personal data, your retention periods for that personal data, and who it will be shared with. We call this ‘privacy information’.”

  “When you collect personal data from the individual it relates to, you must provide them with privacy information at the time you obtain their data.”

  Note that a privacy notice is different from a privacy policy.

  The privacy notice has to include :

  • the reasons why you are processing the personal data
  • for how long
  • who the different parties you are going to share them with are

  So whatever lawful basis you are using (explicit consent or legitimate interest), you need to have a privacy notice if you collect personal data.

  What does this privacy notice look like ?

  ICO is providing best practices in order to display the information :

  • a layered approach
  • dashboards
  • just-in-time notices
  • icons
  • mobile and smart device functionalities

  Once more, it really depends on the data you are processing with Matomo. If you wish to track personal data on the entire website, you will probably have an upper or footer privacy notice such as :

  

  If you wish to process specific data, you could also insert just-in-time notices such as :

  

  What is the information you need to disclose to the final user ?

  To us, there are two things to distinguish between the privacy notice and the privacy policy.

  According to ICO, the privacy notice needs to include the 3 following elements :

  • the reasons why you are processing the personal data
  • for how long
  • who are the different parties you are going to share them with

  But you also need to inform them about :

  • The name and contact details of your organisation.
  • The name and contact details of your representative (if applicable).
  • The contact details of your data protection officer (if applicable).
  • The purposes of the processing.
  • The lawful basis for the processing.
  • The legitimate interests for the processing (if applicable).
  • The categories of personal data obtained (if the personal data is not obtained from the individual it relates to).
  • The recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.
  • The details of transfers of the personal data to any third countries or international organisations (if applicable).
  • The retention periods for the personal data.
  • The rights available to individuals in respect of the processing.
  • The right to withdraw consent (if applicable).
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
  • The source of the personal data (if the personal data is not obtained from the individual it relates to).
  • The details of whether individuals are under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide the personal data (if applicable, and if the personal data is collected from the individual it relates to).
  • The details of the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling (if applicable).

  Pretty long, don’t you think ? In order to reduce it, you can either adopt a layered approach where your “pop-up” window will act as a drop down menu. Or from what we understood, page 5 of this document provided by ICO, a privacy notice can link to a more detailed document, such as a privacy policy page.

  Examples

  Let’s take the example of a website which tracks the non-anonymised full IP address, and using User ID functionality to keep track of logged-in users. Under GDPR, the owner of the website will have to choose either to process personal data based on “Legitimate interests” or on “Consent”. Here is how it will look like :

• Using ffmpeg on Ubuntu, how can the audio and video from an audio-video USB capture device be recorded ?

  11 avril 2022, par BlandCorporation

  I have a USB audio-video capture device, something used to digitize video cassettes. I want to record both the video and audio from the device to a video file that has dimensions 720x576 and video codec H.264 and good audio quality.

  


  I am able to record video from the device using ffmpeg and I am able to see video from the device using MPlayer. I am able also to see that audio is being delivered from the device to the computer by looking at Input tab of the Sound Preferences window or by recording the audio using Audacity, however the audio gets delivered from the device apparently only when the video is being accessed using ffmpeg or MPlayer.

  


  I have tried to get ffmpeg to record the audio and I have tried to get MPlayer to play the audio and my efforts have not been successful.

  


  The device is "Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 90/100/101" (as returned by v4l2-ctl --list-devices). The sound cards listing shows it as "DVC100" :

  


  $ cat /proc/asound/cards 
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0x601d118000 irq 171
 1 [DVC100         ]: USB-Audio - DVC100
                      Pinnacle Systems GmbH DVC100 at usb-0000:00:14.0-4, high speed
29 [ThinkPadEC     ]: ThinkPad EC - ThinkPad Console Audio Control
                      ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw N2LHT33W


  


  The PulseAudio listing for the device is as follows :

  


  $ pactl list cards short
0   alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3  module-alsa-card.c
14  alsa_card.usb-Pinnacle_Systems_GmbH_DVC100-01   module-alsa-card.c


  


  The following ffmpeg command successfully records video, but records severely distorted, broken and out-of-sync audio :

  


  ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -f alsa -thread_queue_size 2048 -ar 48000 -i hw:0 \
    -c:a aac -video_size 720x576 -pixel_format uyvy422 -i /dev/video2 out.mp4


  


  The following MPlayer command successfully displays the video but does not play the audio :

  


  mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:device=/dev/video2:width=720:height=576 \
    -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 -vf pp=lb tv://


  


  Now, when the above MPlayer command is running (not the ffmpeg command) and displaying the input video in a window, Audacity can be opened and set recording audio, and it records the audio from the device clearly and in good quality. While Audacity is doing this, the input device is listed in pavucontrol as "Dazzle DVC Audio Device Analogue Stereo". Equivalently, arecord can be used also to record the audio using the following command (with output shown) :

  


  $ arecord -vv -D plughw:DVC100 -fdat out.wav
Recording WAVE 'out.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
Plug PCM: Hardware PCM card 1 'DVC100' device 0 subdevice 0
Its setup is:
  stream       : CAPTURE
  access       : RW_INTERLEAVED
  format       : S16_LE
  subformat    : STD
  channels     : 2
  rate         : 48000
  exact rate   : 48000 (48000/1)
  msbits       : 16
  buffer_size  : 24000
  period_size  : 6000
  period_time  : 125000
  tstamp_mode  : NONE
  tstamp_type  : MONOTONIC
  period_step  : 1
  avail_min    : 6000
  period_event : 0
  start_threshold  : 1
  stop_threshold   : 24000
  silence_threshold: 0
  silence_size : 0
  boundary     : 6755399441055744000
  appl_ptr     : 0
  hw_ptr       : 0


  


  Looking at the output of arecord -L, I tried a variety of audio device input names with ffmpeg and none of them seemed to work. So, for example, I tried commands like the following :

  


  ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -f alsa -i plughw:DVC100 \
    -video_size 720x576 -pixel_format uyvy422 -i /dev/video2 out.mp4


  


  And tried the following audio device names :

  


  plughw:DVC100
plughw:CARD=DVC100,DEV=0
hw:CARD=DVC100,DEV=0
plughw:CARD=DVC100
sysdefault:CARD=DVC100
iec958:CARD=DVC100,DEV=0
dsnoop:CARD=DVC100,DEV=0


  


  So, how might I get ffmpeg to record the audio successfully to the video file ? Is there some alternative approach to this problem ?

  Unfortunately this hasn't worked.
