Out-of-place stuffs…

In the original IPV4 scheme, there are 5 classes for IP addresses. NA= Network address, HA = host address. NA = 0 implies local network, HA = 0 implies broadcast, HA = 1 usually for gateways (router @ interface address).

1. CLASS A Format: 1-bit ID [0] | 7-bit NA | 3-byte HA ; Range: 1.x.x.x - 126.x.x.x (0.x.x.x & 127.x.x.x reserved) ; Net-Mask: 255.0.0.0
2. CLASS B Format: 2-bit ID [10] | 14-bit NA | 2-byte HA ; Range: 128.x.x.x - 191.x.x.x ; Net-Mask: 255.255.0.0
3. CLASS C Format: 3-bit ID [110] | 21-bit NA | 1-byte HA ; Range: 192.x.x.x - 223.x.x.x ; Net-Mask: 255.255.255.0
4. CLASS D Format: 4-bit ID [1110] | 28-bit multicast address
5. CLASS E Format: 5-bit ID [11110] | 27-bit reserved
6. Private Net Addresses (RFC1918) Range1: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 ; Range2: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 ; Range3: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Subnet Mask is a method used to obtain more network groups from existing classes. HA is masked with a subnet mask and used as NA.

In the newer IPv4 implementation, masks are no longer fixed - classes are no longer used to define a network. IPV4 notation takes the form of x.x.x.x/y where x is an 8-bit number and y gives the number of bits used to mask out the network address.

• used mainly in US, Japan
• 60 Hz, 525 lines at 30 fps (480i)
• resolution ⇒ 720 x 480 (DVD-NTSC?)

• used mainly in UK, Europe, SE Asia
• 50 Hz, 625 lines at 25 fps (576i)
• resolution ⇒ 720 x 576 (DVD-PAL?)

I got the following error message

convert-im6.q16: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `EPS'

I got the solution from here. It turns out, there is a security feature that we need to grant. Edit file /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml. Find the following line,

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="EPS" />

and change the rights value to read|write.

Dumping this here as it is for now…

# may run on ramdisk?

- hls?

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -strict experimental -pix_fmt yuv420p playlist.m3u8

- generic segmenter?

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format_options movflags=+faststart out%03d.mp4

- option to place keyframe every 2s (every 50 frames at 25fps)

  -c:v libx264 -r 25 -g 50

*note: segment_time should be multiple of keyframe interval

We need to modify /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf

AddType application/x-mpegURL .m3u8
AddType video/MP2T .ts
