• Diamond Rio Artifacts

  30 août 2012, par Multimedia Mike — Multimedia History

  Remember the Diamond Rio PMP300 ? It’s credited with being the very first portable MP3 player, released all the way back in 1998 (I say ‘credited’ because I visited an audio museum once which exhibited a Toshiba MP3 player from 1997). I recently rescued a pristine set of Rio artifacts from a recycle pile.

  
  
  

  I wondered if I should scan the manual for posterity. However, a Google search indicates that a proper PDF (loaded with pleas to not illegally copy music) isn’t very difficult to come by. Here are the other items that came with the unit :

  Ah, more memories (of dialup internet) : A tie-in with another Diamond product, this time a modem which claims to enable the user to download songs at up to 112 kilobits per second. I wonder if that was really possible. I remember that 56k modems were a stretch and 33.6k was the best that most users could hope for.

  There is also a separate piece of paper that advises the buyer that the parallel port adapter might look a bit different than what is seen in the printed copy. Imagine the age of downloading to your MP3 player via parallel port while pulling down new songs via dialup internet.

  The artifacts also included not one, but two CD-ROMs :

  One is a driver and software disc, so no big surprise there. The other has a selection of MP3 files for your shiny new MP3 player. I’m wondering if these should be proactively preserved. I was going to process the files’ metadata and publish it here, for the benefit of search engines. However, while metadata is present, the files don’t conform to any metadata format that FFmpeg/Libav recognize. The files mention Brava Software Inc. in their metadata sections. Still, individual filenames at the end of this post.

  Leftovers :
  A few other miscellaneous multimedia acquisitions :

  
  
  

  I still want to study all of these old multimedia creation programs in depth some day. Theatrix Hollywood is a creative writing game, Wikipedia alleges (I’m a bit rigid with my exact definition of what constitutes a game). Here is an example movie output from this software. Meanwhile, the Mad Dog Multimedia CD-ROM apparently came packaged with a 56X CD-ROM drive (roughly the pinnacle of CD-ROM speeds). I found it has some version of Sonic Foundry’s ACID software, thus making good on the “applications” claim on the CD-ROM copy.

• how to extract audio from video with xuggler in Java ?

  24 juin 2013, par Syed Sabhi Xaidi

  Actually i am extracting mp3 from flv it makes the mp3 file but with 0kb so please tell me what i do ?

  public class sasas

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  
      IMediaReader reader = ToolFactory.makeReader("D:/frames/mk.flv");
  
  
  
      IMediaWriter writer = ToolFactory.makeWriter("D:/frames/as.mp3",reader);
  
  
  
      int sampleRate = 44100;
  
      int channels = 1;
  
      writer.addAudioStream(0, 0, ICodec.ID.CODEC_ID_MP3, channels, sampleRate);
  
  
  
      while (reader.readPacket() == null);
  
  
  
         }

• How can I transcode a file with FFMPEG and stream the output file in the response of a Java servlet ?

  6 octobre 2012, par user1700589

  Basically, this is what I'm trying to do :
  1. User passes a URL as a GET parameter to my servlet.
  2. Servlet uses a ProcessBuilder to convert the media contained in that URL to a valid media format (ie : MP3).
  3. The servlet streams the output file being transcoded by FFMPEG back to the browser.

  1 and 2 work fine, but it is 3 I am having a problem with. The best I can do is create a FileInputStream to the output file being transcoded and send that as the response but it is not working. My guess is that it is because the file is being written as I'm trying to stream it.

  Is there anyway to intercept the output file argument in FFMPEG and read it into an InputStream ? In my mind it does not seem that it should be difficult to take input file A, transcode it to output file B, and then stream output file B back to the client, on the fly.

  ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("ffmpeg.exe", "-i", url, "file.mp3");
  
      Process p = pb.start();
  
  
  
      final InputStream inStream = p.getErrorStream();
  
  
  
      new Thread(new Runnable() {
  
  
  
      public void run() {
  
              InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(inStream);
  
              Scanner scan = new Scanner(reader);
  
              while (scan.hasNextLine()) {
  
                  System.out.println(scan.nextLine());
  
              }
  
          }
  
      }).start();
  
  
  
      ServletOutputStream stream = null;
  
      BufferedInputStream buf = null;
  
      try {
  
  
  
          stream = response.getOutputStream();
  
          File mp3 = new File(file.mp3");
  
  
  
          //set response headers
  
          response.setContentType("audio/mpeg");
  
  
  
          response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=file.mp3");
  
  
  
          response.setContentLength(-1);
  
  
  
          //response.setContentLength((int) mp3.length());
  
  
  
          FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(mp3);
  
          buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
  
          int readBytes = 0;
  
          //read from the file; write to the ServletOutputStream
  
          while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1) {
  
              stream.write(readBytes);
  
          }
  
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
  
          throw new ServletException(ioe.getMessage());
  
      } finally {
  
          if (stream != null) {
  
              stream.close();
  
          }
  
          if (buf != null) {
  
              buf.close();
  
          }
  
      }
