Narcissism go

I just added a twitter feed to the blog and will probably put more personal stuff there than I've posted in my blog so far. Still in Japan, living it out in Tokyo.

Adding Sound to Theora Screencast

Finally figured out how to dump audio from no$gba running through wine into a file for screencasts. Adding the following to my ~/.asoundrc stores all sound played through the default ALSA device into file tap.raw in my home directory:

pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm "tee:hw,/home/user/tee.raw"
   }
}

This will store all audio output from now on in tee.raw, so don't keep it like that permanently! I copy that to the file when I need to dump audio, and remove it after... not really a perfect setup, but can't seem to instruct wine to chose another device, not matter how i set $ALSA_PCM_DEVICE or try to fiddle with winecfg.

After getting the raw audio, I trim it using audacity, converting it at the same time to ogg vorbis. I get the theora video out from the screencast using oggzrip, and then combine that with the audio using oggzmerge.

oggzrip -c theora -o video.ogg original_recording.ogg
oggzmerge -o final.ogg video.ogg audio.ogg

The result is final.ogg, containing ogg vorbis audio and theora video, which can then be directly uploaded as a video on blogger/blogspot, and I would assume youtube.

Back?

Okey, it's been a few years since I tried out my blogger account, but I'm getting fed up with some wordpress issues and decided I should give blogger a second chance. I'll probably do more technical stuff here, if I do anything at all... like playing around with DS programming and stuff like that.

First post

Okey, I finally succumbed to this blog-stuff... (ob-rant), so we'll have to see what comes of it.

At first I guess it's just a way for me to vent some annoyances and post a few pictures in an easier way than mailing people, but maybe I'll figure out more stuff to say after a while.
