The One Script to rule them all…

Updated today Nov. 17, 2011

This post will be the natural successor to this one.

## Source of inspiration.
/etc/init.d/SCRIPT -> /lib/init/upstart-job

I took the liberty to recombine my three most used scripts into one.
Its usage is simple:

## The scale and quote scripts take additional parameter(s).
## For 'scale': 4cif, pal or hd are the only options at the moment.
## But feel free to add your own.
## All others: script.name file.name
you@somewhere:~$ ./scale.avi name-of-your-movie.avi (4cif, pal, hd)
e.g.: ./scale.avi name-of-your-movie.avi hd # Upscale file to "$HD" i.e. 1280x720
you@somewhere:~$ ./quote.avi name-of-your-movie.avi (Start End (Either in whole seconds or HH:MM:SS.MSS))
e.g.: ./quote.avi name-of-your-movie.avi 30 60 # Starts at 30s and has a duration of 60s.
e.g.: ./quote.avi name-of-your-movie.avi 60 # Starts at 0s and has a duration of 60s.
you@somewhere:~$ ./xtract.z.avi name-of-your-movie.avi
## Or: (if the script is within your "$PATH"?
scale.avi name-of-your-movie.avi hd # Upscale file to "$HD" i.e. 1280x720
quote.avi name-of-your-movie.avi 30 60 # Starts at 30s and has a duration of 60s.
quote.avi name-of-your-movie.avi 59,04 # Starts at 0s and has a duration of 59.040s.
xtract.z.avi name-of-your-movie.avi
xtract.z.flv name-of-your-movie.flv # I.e. Youtube or equiv. ; - )
## 'z'? equals 'from' ; - )

As for one’s “$PATH”.

# http://linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php
## His Pah is very strong. : - )
## Insert the following in your ~/.bashrc
## Preferably at the end!
## What I use.
# PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.usr/bin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/your/folder/of/choice
export PATH
## Then all scripts you create and which are placed in "$PATH"
## Can be executed from anywhere you have permission to execute those.
#
## Otherwise you'll have to 'cd' to the folder where your script lives and
## do: ./your-script with-whatever-options-you-have-concocted with-file.ext
## Oh, don't forget to do: chmod u+x on your script first.

In my enthusiasm to post this asap I forgot to mention that for one this script allows you to copy and paste directly from e.g. nautilus.

But (what I as well forgot to mention):
Your folders and files will be RENAMED if either of those contains space(s)!!! If you don’t want that to happen then simply renaming your file(s), and if applicable your folder(s), before running this script should do the trick.

## When copied from nautilus:
## From:
file:///your/file/at%20some%20where/with%20nasty%20spaces.ext
## To:
/your/file/at.some.where/with.nasty.spaces.ext
## When using tab completion in your shell.
## Type and, if exist, tab until completion.
## From:
/your/file/at\ some\ where/with\ nasty\ spaces.ext
## To:
/your/file/at.some.where/with.nasty.spaces.ext

You might just want to save the following few lines just below for posterity’s sake!? Why? Well… In order for the script posted on this page to work you’ll have to embrace the concept of linking!

## You might just want to save the following few lines just below for posterity's sake. ; - )
SCRIPT="$(basename "$0")"
for FILE in quote.o{ga,gg,gm} quote.flac quote.avi quote.m{p2,p3,p4,pe,peg,pg,kv} quote.w{mv,av};do ln -s -T "${SCRIPT}" "$(echo "${FILE}")";done
for FILE in scale.o{gg,gm} scale.flac scale.avi scale.m{p4,pe,peg,pg,kv} scale.wmv;do ln -s -T "${SCRIPT}" "$(echo "${FILE}")";done
for FILE in xtract.z.o{gg,gm} xtract.z.avi xtract.z.flv xtract.z.m{p4,pe,peg,pg,kv} xtract.z.wmv;do ln -s -T "${SCRIPT}" "$(echo "${FILE}")";done

Questions, suggestions, bugs found!? Feel free to let me know at this address: http://wp.me/PNJrg-p. Will I answer? That depends entirely upon you. ; - ) If you found a flaw/bug and you want me to point you out for that on here, then just say so. Otherwise all other email will be processed confidentially.
