Considering ffmpeg for mpeg cutting/splitting… too complex i think for such a simple task.
mpgtx.sourceforge.net is the way to go if are looking for simple operations like cutting/joining mpeg files.
Tool Summary :
This simple command(from a ruby script I wrote) will cut the full length videos into count_chunks pieces and store them under directory_writable, where count_chunks and directory_writable are both variables
[code]
Open3.popen3("/bin/mpgtx -#{count_chunks} #{_file_to_process} -f -b #{directory_variable}/#{game.file_path.gsub('.mpg','')} 2>> #{directory_variable}/split.log")
[/code]
RAILS_ROOT gives you relative path within the applications it works fine as far as you need the path within rails application.
How about getting absolute path to rails folder?
I found one way, and thats from the ENV hash.
You can use ENV['PWD'] to find absolute path to the rails folder.
Any other ways ??
*Update 4th Oct 2007*
Dir.pwd is a better way
Workaround:
_use_me = frozen_string.dup
page.redirect_to :action => ‘thanks’, :p1 => @g_resp.params["_code"], :p2 => @r_id
Fix:
form style=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;”
Mysql Getting Random Row: “order by rand()”
Problem:
[code]
text_field(:member, :dob,:size=>"20", :maxlength => "50",:tabindex=>"22") img_tag
[/code]
Fix:
[code]
text_field(:member, :dob,:size=>"20", :maxlength => "50",:tabindex=>"22") img_tag {:style="position:absolute"}
[/code]
Value State Description
0 Undefined Windows Media Player is in an undefined state.
1 Stopped Playback of the current media item is stopped.
2 Paused Playback of the current media item is paused. When a media item is paused, resuming playback begins from the same location.
3 Playing The current media item is playing.
4 ScanForward The current media item is fast forwarding.
5 ScanReverse The current media item is fast rewinding.
6 Buffering The current media item is getting additional data from the server.
7 Waiting Connection is established, but the server is not sending data. Waiting for session to begin.
8 MediaEnded Media item has completed playback.
9 Transitioning Preparing new media item.
10 Ready Ready to begin playing.
11 Reconnecting Reconnecting to stream.
Remarks
Windows Media Player states are not guaranteed to occur in any particular order. Furthermore, not every state necessarily occurs during a sequence of events. You should not write code that relies upon state order.
Example Code
The following JScript code shows the use of the player.playState property. An HTML text element, named “myText”, displays the current status. The Player object was created with ID = “Player”.
// Test whether Windows Media Player is in the playing state.
if (3 == Player.playState)
myText.value = “Windows Media Player is playing!”;
else
myText.value = “Windows Media Player is NOT playing!”;
