=====Conversion Instructions=====
 +
======'''Step 1'''======
 +
#We recommend that you dub/record using '''''Audacity'''''
 +
#:(It is available for all OS : Linux Distributions, Windows [all versions] and also for Mac OSX)
 +
# After you record in '''''Audacity''''' -
 +
#* Click on '''File -> Export -> save as *.mp3'''
 +
#* This will export the final audio as an "*.mp3" file
 +
# If you are using '''''Movie Maker''''' -
 +
#* Convert the output file as an "*.mp3" using '''''Any Video Convertor (Free Version)'''''
  
−
----
+
======'''Step 2'''======
 +
# Now '''download the original ".mov" English video''' from this link  [http://spoken-tutorial.org/english-videos http://spoken-tutorial.org/english-videos]
 +
#Place the '''dubbed audio''' file '''''(.mp3 format)''''' and the '''downloaded English video''' file '''''(.mov format)''''' in the same folder
 +
#:'''Please Note''' - You have to use '' [http://ffmpeg.org FFmpeg]  Command Line'' for the following process
 +
#:So ensure that it is installed on your machine
 +
#Do the following in a Linux machine -
 +
#*Open the '''Terminal''' and go to the folder using '''cd''' command
 +
#:For e.g. '''''cd Desktop/linux'''''
 +
#Here '''linux''' is the folder in which I have saved the audio and video files for conversion
 +
#:In my case, the file names are :
 +
## '''English Video''' : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov
 +
## '''Dubbed Audio'''  : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3
  
−
===Conversion of video from wmv to mp4 format ===
+
======'''Step 3'''======
−
Most of the time, when we dub the tutorials into other languages we find that the filesize of the resultant tutorial is high. Since, these dubbed tutorials will not be used for dubbing into any other language (always use the original tutorial for dubbing purpose), here is a method by which one can reduce the filesize of the dubbed tutorial.
+
#First : Remove the '''English''' audio from the downloaded '''English mov''' video
 +
#:To do so, type the command :
 +
#:'''ffmpeg -i linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov -an -vcodec copy linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov'''
 +
#:This command will remove the audio from the input video ''(linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov)'' and
 +
#:save the output video ''(linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov)'' in mov format itself
 +
#Second : Merge the dubbed audio with the English video without audio
 +
#:Type the command :
 +
#:'''ffmpeg -i linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov -i linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov'''
 +
#:This command will merge the dubbed audio (in .mp3 format) with the English video with out audio (in .mov format) and
 +
#:save the output in .mov format (linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov)
 +
 
 +
======'''Step 4'''======
 +
#Convert the dubbed mov file into ogv video
 +
##We have the dubbed video in '''.mov''' format with the same quality like the original English video
 +
##But we need it in '''.ogv''' format
 +
##To convert '''mov''' into an '''ogv''' video, use "[[https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html | ffmpeg]]" or any other online video convertor tool.
 +
 
 +
  So finally we will get the dubbed video in '''OGV format''' in '''GOOD QUALITY''' with '''LESSER FILE SIZE'''
 +
 
 +
=====Upload Instructions=====
  
−
Ideally, save the movie in '''BEST QUALITY''' in Windows Movie Maker.  Then convert the output '''.wmv''' file to '''mp4''' format using '''ANY VIDEO CONVERTOR'''.    The settings for this are as follows –
+
# Login to the website

  9. Do this till all the audio clips are placed at the noted time intervals
  10. Play the whole movie back and confirm that the dubbed audio and video are in sync
  11. Save the movie as per the instructions given in "How to use Audacity and ffmpeg"
  12. Review the resultant movie against the Dubbers' Checklist and make the required modifications

Conversion Instructions
Step 1
  1. We recommend that you dub/record using Audacity
    (It is available for all OS : Linux Distributions, Windows [all versions] and also for Mac OSX)
  2. After you record in Audacity -
    • Click on File -> Export -> save as *.mp3
    • This will export the final audio as an "*.mp3" file
  3. If you are using Movie Maker -
    • Convert the output file as an "*.mp3" using Any Video Convertor (Free Version)
Step 2
  1. Now download the original ".mov" English video from this link http://spoken-tutorial.org/english-videos
  2. Place the dubbed audio file (.mp3 format) and the downloaded English video file (.mov format) in the same folder
    Please Note - You have to use FFmpeg Command Line for the following process
    So ensure that it is installed on your machine
  3. Do the following in a Linux machine -
    • Open the Terminal and go to the folder using cd command
    For e.g. cd Desktop/linux
  4. Here linux is the folder in which I have saved the audio and video files for conversion
    In my case, the file names are :
    1. English Video : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov
    2. Dubbed Audio  : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3
Step 3
  1. First : Remove the English audio from the downloaded English mov video
    To do so, type the command :
    ffmpeg -i linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov -an -vcodec copy linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov
    This command will remove the audio from the input video (linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov) and
    save the output video (linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov) in mov format itself
  2. Second : Merge the dubbed audio with the English video without audio
    Type the command :
    ffmpeg -i linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov -i linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov
    This command will merge the dubbed audio (in .mp3 format) with the English video with out audio (in .mov format) and
    save the output in .mov format (linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov)
Step 4
  1. Convert the dubbed mov file into ogv video
    1. We have the dubbed video in .mov format with the same quality like the original English video
    2. But we need it in .ogv format
    3. To convert mov into an ogv video, use "[| ffmpeg]" or any other online video convertor tool. 
  So finally we will get the dubbed video in OGV format in GOOD QUALITY with LESSER FILE SIZE
