LA CROSSE, WI (WTAQ) - A $1 million bond has been ordered for a La Crosse man accused of killing another man at a Kwik Trip convenience store last weekend.
25-year-old Mitrel Anderson made his initial court appearance Wednesday on a charge of first-degree intentional homicide.
Also, Anderson's girlfriend – 23-year-old Brittany Jones of La Crosse – appeared on a charge of aiding a felon. She was accused of helping Anderson leave La Crosse on Monday.
Both were picked up later that day, when police caught them leaving a Madison apartment building. A $50,000 bond was ordered in her case.
Both are due back in court next Wednesday, when a judge will decide if there's enough to put both defendants on trial.
Authorities said Anderson stabbed 24-year-old Demario Lee of Rockford Illinois early Sunday, as Lee was in La Crosse to visit family members.
Friends of both Lee and Anderson reportedly went on Facebook to urge their supporters to appear in court. WXOW-TV said officials were ready for tensions, but there were none.
The station said police escorted Lee's family in and out of the courtroom – and officers made sure those people safely got into their cars and drove away after the hearing.

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy can do the Falcons a real solid.
Word out of Green Bay is that Packers head coach will play to win the game against the Detroit Lions. (Guess he doesn't like them very much or something like that.)
My guys up there are not exactly sure what that means — playing to win. They are not sure if he'll play his starters just a little bit or let them go the whole way.
My folks could see him playing it like a preseason game and yanking his studs at halftime.
The big question is whether if he's going to allow wide receiver Greg Jennings, tackle Bryan Bulaga, defensive linemen Ryan Pickett and running back James Starks to play, all of whom are coming off injury.
The speculation is that Jennings, Bulaga and Pickett will play a little and Starks won't play at all.
Offensive tackle Chad Clifton is going to play for the first time since the Atlanta game, but he likely won't start.
The word is that McCarthy really wants to win the game and he won't rest massive amounts of guys. But he's not going to be stupid either.
The Falcons need to win and have the Packers beat the Lions to move into the fifth seed for the playoffs. They'll likely get the Giants-Cowboys winner if they can move up. If they stay put at No. 6, then they are back off to New Orleans for a rematch with Drew Brees and the Saints.
–D. Orlando Ledbetter, The Atlanta Falcons beat blog

We really need them to beat Detroit. I'd hate to see New Orleans again in two weeks! Oh, by the way, first!!!
December 28th, 2011
5:41 am
The way we looked on MNF we can't look forward to playing the Giants/Cowboys winner either. But maybe we were just playing vanilla in order to not tip our hand to anyone. We have to be concerned though.
December 28th, 2011
6:42 am
The Falcons want a rematch with the Saints. Not sure why other than statisically the odds have to favor them not getting beat 3 times in one season by the same team.
Atlanta is capable of beating any team on any given Sunday, however, I like a matchup with Cowboys/Giants more than with the Saints.
December 28th, 2011
6:57 am
The Falcons don't really want to go back to New Orleans. Trust me. Especially, Mike Smith and Brian Van Gorder. They best to pray the Packers win.
December 28th, 2011
6:59 am
The Falcons wouldn't beat the Giants either.
December 28th, 2011
6:59 am
The real reason I believe the Packers want to win this game is:
By winning, that would send Detroit to New Orleans and the packers figured that the Lion are the only other team capable of eliminating the only threat to them (the packers).
So it makes sense to send them to New Orleans in hopes of the Lions eliminating the Saints
December 28th, 2011
7:01 am
Other than the Packers. only the Lions have a chance of beating the Saints in New Orleans.
Therefore its a good idea for the Packers to beat Detroit and send them to New Orleans rather than trust that the Falcons to take care of The Saints on behalf of the Packers.
December 28th, 2011
7:06 am
I wonder why the Falcons don't play to win? It seems the coaching staff is more interested in yards, time of possession, and letting M. Turner be the one-man team.
December 28th, 2011

Don't forget the FG aspirations also, Me Too. Coaches Smith and Mularkey love them some FGs . . .

December 28th, 2011
7:29 am
By the way, McCarthy is going to play to win,……….. just not with his starters.
December 28th, 2011
7:31 am
It will probably be one and done as last year. You win championships and playoff games with good defense. We don't have a good defense! The Giants came very close to beating the Packers two weeks ago. But I do think we have a better chance of beating one of the teams from the NFC east.
I like M R as a leader of our team but have to agree on his inability to connect with receivers on the long ball. Other things I've noticed that 8 out of 10 throws to receivers he doesn't lead them so they can continue to run. They're having to stop and reach back or slow down waiting on the ball. You never see this with Brees, Brandy, Manning, and other good QB's. Even Cam Newton as a rookie leads and hits the receivers in stride.
I am thankful that we are a much better than teams we have had in the past. I remember the years of 2 and 12, 3 and 13 all to well. Maybe next year we can somehow make the needed changes to build a better defense and offense play calling to have a real chance of doing something in the playoffs
December 28th, 2011
7:33 am
The Falcons had no incentive to beat the Saints, Let the Packers and Saints expend their energy and risk injuries to key players by winning these last two meaningless games. It will just make it a little easier for the Falcons in the playoffs.

Sound of crickets …
December 28th, 2011

Face it, the Falcons died on the MB SuperDome field, don't expect them to come back and do any damage in the playoff's, then on the bright side we had another winning season, which of course isn't worth a dime if you can't move forwad and win playoff games, which is the whole idea.
December 28th, 2011

@Me Too
Michael Turner hasn't rushed for over a hundred yards in the last five or six games. I wouldn't really call that a "one-man team"

That is what makes the NFL so much better than the college game, you can't hide!
December 28th, 2011
8:16 am
Pretty sad when you have to wish for other teams to win or lose in order for this team to get into the playoffs. How about next year the falcons try winning more games. That has always been a formula that seems to work. Just ask the packers.
December 28th, 2011

"But maybe we were just playing vanilla in order to not tip our hand to anyone."
You guys say that every year, and each year that team keeps showing you that they have only one flavor, and it is as tasteless as growl!

Quite simple – here lies the FAILCANTS, one and done, their soul taken by the Saints.
December 28th, 2011
8:33 am
As far as I'm concerned, I believe that if Sean Payton and his coaching staff were coaching this same Falcons team and Mike Smith and his band of Clowns were coaching the Saints, the score of the last game would have been reversed.
This is not to say the Saints don't have better players than the Falcons because man for man they do, but I still believe that Sean Payton and his style of aggressive play calling will put this Falcon team in the best position to win and "make plays to score touch downs" and not fkucing field goals. and that to mean is the biggest difference between these to teams.
For the most part, as LONG as the Saints have Sean Payton, they will own this division unless another dynamic coach comes along and challenges him.
By the way, who is the offensive coordinator of the Saints? Why isn't he mentioned to become a head coach some other place. The Saints don't really need him.
December 28th, 2011
8:34 am
So, the Falcons didn't try to beat the Saints? Didn't have an incentive to win?
If you nuts can't see that the Saints, from waterboy to Head Coach, are head and shoulders better than the Falcons, you are dumber than you seem.
The only way the Falcons win a playoff game this season (or any other) is to play the Cowboys, then sit back and wait for Romo to choke the game away.
Mike White = Marty Shottenheimer. If you guys are too young to remember Marty-ball, google him and read up on his coaching career. He turned teams around fast, won lots of regular season games vs inferior competition, never won a playoff game.
Sound familiar?
December 28th, 2011
8:48 am
Our coaching staff is good enough to get us winning seasons but we won't win anything of significance without a drastic change. MM & BVG need to improve but Mike Smith is the one giving the direction for this team. He needs to step back and let his coordinators do their thing without interference. If they fail, they fail and you find someone else.
I am not absolving MM or BVG but facts are facts. Not utilizing the no-huddle enough and implementing a soft zone defense with only 4 pass rushers are both Mike Smith decisions.
The success of the no-huddle speaks for itself. The lack of use is indefensible.
The soft zone is the sole reason why teams routinely convert 3rd and longs against us. The fact we force SO MANY 3rd and longs is a testament to solid defense on 1st & 2nd downs. 3rd down, we just undo all the good work we got done on 1st and 2nd.
This coaching staff is scared to win a big game. Sean Peyton, Bill Belichick, and Mike McCarthy aren't. They know it's time for contenders to step up and get into form, that's why Peyton had the Saints put the stamp on us at the end with the game already over…Message Delivered.
December 28th, 2011
9:02 am
No way Green Bay play their starters for more than 1/2 this game. A Rodgers will break the Passer Rating record even if he sits. They will not risk him losing that record. Rodgers may play a quarter or two, but that's it.
The only way I see Rodgers playing that entire game is if they want him to get 50 TDs or more….but he is 5 away from that record and that would be foolish to try for that record in the last game of the season.
Lions will win that game and Falcons will be heading to N.O. next week. Where I expect they will not get the beat down they got on Monday night….but they will lose none the less.

Falcons4Eva, I think the Falcons do have better players overall than the Saints except for QB and TE. Brees is on another level over Ryan at this point but Tony G isn't far behind the Saints TE even at his age. The Falcons receivers are better but poorly utilized; the RB position is different for each team but overall a wash; slight edge to Saints in O-Line; &the Falcons have a far more talented defense. the problem with the Falcons is the conservative approach by the coaching staff continues to under/mis-utilize our players.
This makes your point even truer in my opinion. Peyton can take a roster like the Saints have and make a more talented team, the Falcons, look bad.
He's a Damn good coach and he has a damn good QB

In my opinion the main difference is at the QB position. Yea the defense gave up too many points. But it's not like the offense gave them any help. The Falcons offense went 3 1/2 qtrs without scoring a touchdown. This is absolutely unacceptable. The Saints don't even have a good defense. Matt Ryan does not take chances and as a result our receivers never catch the ball in stride. Instead, most of his completions are check downs to Tony Gonzolez or curl routs while the receiver is running out of bounds.

It's The Line
Willie Coyote – the Saints have three offensive linemen voted to the Pro Bowl. Bushrod, Nicks and Evans are as good as it gets and Strief is a mountain.
The New Orleans defensive line is not composed of big names but is dominant with superior depth. Shaun Rogers is a planet.
December 28th, 2011
10:17 am
Doesnt matter who we play. We're one and done. Turner is hurt and it shows. He hasnt had a hundred yard game in a good stretch here so we need to get away from having him as the main focal point…but we wont. Why? Because our offense is circa 1980. We dont have the coaching to get to the next level as far as Im concerned. I'll be more than happy to eat a little crow if we do win one or more…but highly unlikely. I look at this team logically vs emotionally and they arent a title team right about now.

The Saints are deeper and have more talent across the board. The running backs are three deep in quality. Ivory, Sproles and Thomas are high quality backs. Mark Ingram, another quality back, (injured) is not missed. The Lions just signed a player from the Saints practice squad, Joique Bell, who steps immediately into the lineup. That is quality.
The Saints defensive front has an unknown player in Junior Galette who has more speed than Ray Edwards. He had 2 tackles for losses on Monday. First rounder Cam Jordan is improving with each snap. The defensive line depth keeps everyone fresh.
But more important, the Saints are playing for something greater than just a paycheck. They are playing for an entire region. They are playing for a cause.
The Falcons have not connected with the community on a spiritual level where they play for something greater than themselves. It is a collection of individuals.
The Saints are a team.
December 28th, 2011
10:26 am
The Falcons are done regardless of who they play. Any team that can run the ball and pass it good enough will give the Falcons fits. Maybe the Falcons can play the Titans, Jaguars or the Colts. Is that possible?

Falcons got smacked down Monday night, no doubt about it. That said, I think that a 1st round playoff game is winnable even in NO. We know that team and have matched up well with them over the last few years. Monday was their night, but they can be beat…just like we did in NO last year and just like Seattle did in round 1 Jan'11.

I know its fun to bring up the Seattle playoff game from last year to tease Saints fans, but you're kiddiing yourself if you think this Saints team is the same. They lost 3 starters in the season finale to injury, lost 2 more rb's in game (Heath Evans, a fb, was playing rb in the 2nd hlf), and had 2 other starters playing with significant injuries.
Health plays just as big a part in success as everything else. The Saints are healthy and playing at HOME where they have been unbeatable this year. Good luck with trying to get a win in NOLA come playoff time. The score may be different but the Saints OWN the Falcons and have gotten in their head, the result will be the same, a Saints win!
Debacle in The Dome Part Deux!!!!

Am I the only one who REALLY wants to play the Saints again in the playoffs?
If you want to be the best…

it would be nice if the Falcons gave a sh#t about us fans who support them year after year, game after game, who purchases tickets, who buys and wears their caps, jerseys, tshirts only to be laughed at for being a Falcon fan. I as a fan since 1966 am so tired of being the doormat to other teams that seem to have more drive, more football give a damn than our Falcons, good grief charlie brown. As one of my Falcon friends said, its like Charlie brown and lucy when he is trying to kick the football,"maybe this time" Lucy is Arthur and Charlie is us suffering Falcon fans.\
youtube it and watch…..

Jamaaliver – Saints are tough especially at home but you have a point. Despite Monday's beat down we normally play them close and the odds of three in a row are slim. Dallas or NYG likely an easier win but you're going to face a tough team at some point either way so why not the first game. I'm a true fan and believe in the team but need to see some fire. The Falcons better go out and play that first playoff game with reckless abandon. If Brees is going to pick you apart either way then I say send the freaking house and at least hit the guy as he throws. Get physical and stop with this soft zone crap!

Well put MG3 .Blitz the heck out of them.I'd rather they go down swinging than sitting back and getting picked apart.

The team with the best chance of beating the Saints … is … the Falcons.
Detroit is horrible on the road and the Packer's D is worse than Atlanta's.
Falcons need to invent a pass rush and the O-line needs to run block. That will beat the Saints. It's that simple.
December 28th, 2011
12:00 pm
"Shortly after their stunning loss Monday night, some of the Falcons were calling for a rematch with the New Orleans Saints."
Bet cha COACH CLEAN SHOT and FUTURE GOLF PRO MELT aren't asking for a rematch cause these beat downs are not an "aberration" as Coach Smith in his coyness tried to convey post game interview…
LOOK, the Falcons are pretenders! When you go 2-8, last 10 games against the winners that proves it! You are what most think you are now..The masses in Atlanta, even the fanatics now know the truth. They were in denial but most have come around begrudgingly to see what this team represents! Garbage!
Melt is elite in your and his dreams…He aint the one GRASSHOPPER!
Melt is an ELITE QB from the 20 to the 20!!
A FG expert! 7 is always greater than 3 in this time line…….
Stick a fork in Abraham and Edwards. Line play was and is HORRIFIC on both sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUT Schemed, OUT Coached!! ET AL…..
Until Arthur cleans out Rich Mckay's desk, expect more of the same……For years to come….

Federal Voices: Speaking out on first week of furloughs
Friday - 10/4/2013, 5:12pm EDT
Federal buildings are eerily quiet. At the Merit Systems Protection Board, "There's no mail. There are no calls. There are no pleadings that are being filed and there are no e-appeals," said Chairman Susan Tsui Grundmann. She is one of three appointed board members working, along with a handful of staff. "Teamwork and a sense of humor" are helping them get by, he said. The board members are deciding cases, only to put the files in an empty room because there is no one to publish them.
Similarly, while the military is not furloughed, Army Assistant Secretary for Installations, Energy and Environment Katherine Hammack described her office as "a bit of a ghost town." About half of the service's civilian employees are on furlough, she said. Thus, when she needs research or data, she has no one to turn to. Her big plans to celebrate Energy Awareness Month through activities on bases, at schools and in military communities will have to wait as well.
"Some things may never get done, and that is unfortunate because there are people who put time and effort into this," she said.
But the hardest part, Hammack said, is the financial uncertainty. "Many civilians are working on IOUs," she said. "I'm coming to work with no guarantee of a paycheck."
Federal employees at home this week also told us they worried about money. But, it's not all grim. An anonymous federal employee who identified herself as a GS-15 called Federal News Radio's comment line to say she needed this break from her normally hectic work routine.
"I'm completely overwhelmed, overworked in my regular job," she said, adding that she got up to 400 emails a day and never felt completely caught up. "When I heard Congress was shutting down government, I was so excited," she said.
We caught up with Janet Benini as she was painting her kitchen a "terra-cotta" color. She had already tackled the living room. "My husband is a little worried because I'm running out of rooms and I'm not sure how I'll work out my anxiety after that," she said.
As the Transportation Department associate director for international preparedness, Benini had expected to spend this week finalizing plans for two high-level international emergency-planning events. She conceded that the shutdown made the United States look like "a bunch of idiots who can't get anything done" to her counterparts in the Chinese Ministry of Transport and elsewhere.
For other federal employees, this week has recalled memories of the last government shutdown in 1995-1996.
Cindy Blythe is a management program analyst in Topeka, Kan., for the Coast Guard. She said she may have to cut back on Christmas presents for her grandkids if the shutdown lingers. But she offered these words of advice for fellow feds: "This too shall pass."

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
As Kauffman Labs helps grow and educate the entrepreneurial community through programs, events and workshops, we came across an aspiring gentleman with an idea. Nodir Abdullayev (Bek) has just recently found out about the entrepreneurial community in Kansas City and has made strides to become engaged since finding his first event through Kauffman Labs. Learn how Bek's first experience made him go from an aspiring entrepreneur to lean entrepreneur.
Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.
After selling her first company, a newly wealthy software entrepreneur felt that writing checks to charity wasn't enough. So, she set up a nonprofit that runs a business employing disadvantaged young people. Then she joined an organization advocating economic fairness in society. Now she's providing for her daughter's education and learning about investment strategies.

How do you know when it's time for life after entrepreneurship? Selling the most important asset in your life - the one you've poured heart and soul into - shouldn't be tied to the day Social Security kicks in. It should be a process started three to five years before the final event, as the planning for life after entrepreneurship is equally as important as your first business plan.
As an entrepreneurial company grows and adds layers of management, it can and should consider policies that address work and family issues or risk inconsistency across departments, writes the founder of a human-resources services firm.

Entrepreneurs should cultivate relationships with outsiders who can offer support and advice, even though "mentoring," as it's often called, is typically considered an instrument of corporate career-building. In this insightful article by an entrepreneur who founded a non-profit organization to pair owners of young companies with seasoned business owners, the author advises entrepreneurs to seek help from peers as well as superiors and from several outsiders rather than a single guru.
A helping hand from a beloved family member gave this author a gift more precious than a paycheck: the time and attention she needed to rebuild her career -- and her belief in herself.

A bachelor pad on its way up
With condos getting smaller and our need for consumption ever-growing, it's time to look at displaying our stuff up and off the floors and tables. Freeing up the floor, counters and tabletops is the best way to make your space look more spacious and organized.
Listen up
Investing in wall-hung electronics keeps consoles clutter-free. Just remember to hide the cords. Flat-screen TVs, stereos and speakers are all available to be hung instead of taking up valuable console space. The BeoSound 8 from Bang & Olufsen ($1,200) can be wall-mounted and displays tablets and plays other sound devices.
Entertain it
Creating an entertainment centre doesn't mean adding another cabinet to the living room; simply mount everything under existing cupboards. Under cupboard racks and wall shelving keeps all bar accessories at hand. The 6-bottle Wine And Glass Rack from Bed Bath & Beyond ($40) keeps the well-stocked bar in view at all times.
Hang it
Hooks keep everything off the floor. Put them everywhere: behind doors, inside the walls of closets and under the island bar; a great place to hang a purse or shopping bag.
The Flip Coat Rack from UMBRA ($30) has hooks that hinge down when in need and tuck away when not in use. No more sore shoulders on the way to the bathroom at night.

Canada kills its penny
The coins, which cost 1.6 cents apiece to make, will be gradually withdrawn from circulation this year.
By Jacqueline Thorpe, Bloomberg
Canada will withdraw the penny from circulation this year, saving taxpayers about $11 million annually and forcing retailers to round prices to the nearest nickel, the government has announced.
The Royal Canadian Mint, which has produced 35 billion pennies since it began production in 1908, will cease distribution this fall due to the coin's low purchasing power. Production and handling cost for the 1-cent coin are a $150 million drag on the economy, according to a 2006 study by Desjardins, a financial institution based in Levis, Quebec.
"Pennies take up too much space on our dressers at home," Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said in the text of his budget speech in Ottawa late last month. "They take up far too much time for small businesses trying to grow and create jobs."
Business groups welcomed the announcement, which follows similar moves by countries such as Australia, Brazil and Sweden. Economists said the phase-out would have little impact.
"If there's a rounding up, you'd see a rounding down somewhere else," said Craig Wright, the chief economist for the Royal Bank of Canada.
The savings to financial institutions alone may be about $20 million a year as banks reduce transportation, storage and handling costs, the study estimated.
It costs the government 1.6 cents to produce one penny, which has been made of copper-plated zinc and copper-plated steel since 1997.
Withdrawn from circulation
The penny, with two maple leafs on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other, can continue to be used in payments. As the coins are gradually withdrawn from circulation, price rounding on cash transactions will be required, the government said.
The calculation of the federal goods and services tax and provincial sales taxes will continue to be calculated to the penny and added to the price, with rounding taking place on the total payment.
Noncash payments on checks and credit cards will continue to be rounded to the nearest cent. (Post continues below.)
"If businesses round cash transactions to the nearest 5-cent increment, any gains or losses relating to cash transactions (a maximum of 2 cents per transaction) will balance out over time," the government said in its budget documents.
Retailers and other businesses can continue to price goods and services in 1-cent increments, and there will be no need to reprogram cash registers, according to the government.
Increase efficiency
Catherine Swift, the president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said the move will increase efficiency.
"It has been a long time coming," she said. "It's been a real pain more than anything else. We've actually polled our members on this, and they're supportive."
The mint used 3.3 million pounds of steel, more than 154,000 pounds of copper and 50,700 pounds of nickel last year to make pennies at its facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It put 1.3 billion coins in circulation in 2011, half of which were freshly minted and half made from recycled materials.

How to use FFMPEG to convert video via Ruby on RailsPublished: June 27th, 2007
Use FFMPEG to convert videos in your Ruby on Rails applications, and even take screenshots.
So lately I took it upon myself to play around with some video transcoding.
If you don't already have ffmpeg, you're going to have to get the source somewhere.
I do it through subversion in my /usr/local/src directory (where I put all the stuff I want to compile)
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
Then you're going to need to configure and compile it. Unfortunately it isn't THAT simple, reason being that some libraries are needed to have audio in your conversions. Specifically, you have to download the LAME MP3 library, and anything else that your video's may need, or codecs that you do require.
Since I basically only require the LAME library. Go ahead and download it from the sourceforge page.
untar it:
tar zxvf lame-3.xxx_.tar.gz cd lame-3.xx ./configure make sudo make install
You should now have the LAME mp3 library, you're good to go on compiling FFMPEG w/ LAME support.
There's actually a really simple way to get a good build of FFMPEG, and that's to use darwinports. If you do have darwinports you can do the following and be good to go:
sudo port install ffmpeg
In fact, I'd seriously recommend using Darwin Ports for installing FFMPEG, as it does a lot of the pre-requieste libraries (like mp3 lame) for you, but if you can't, then go ahead and continue compiling FFMPEG by doing the following:
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg cd ffmpeg ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-static --disable-vhook make sudo make install
You should now have a functioning FFMPEG program. Try this in your console to verify it:
sparta@phalanx mojobabyt $ ffmpeg --version FFmpeg version SVN-r9374, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-libmp3lame --enable-shared --enable-encoder=libavcodec libavutil version: 49.4.0 libavcodec version: 51.40.4 libavformat version: 51.12.1 built on Jun 20 2007 14:44:55, gcc: 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367) ffmpeg: missing argument for option '--version'
Now, I am not going to get into specific tutorial-like examples of how you should set up your model to handle videos, or file uploading, or anything like that. What I will tell you will work, if you have a somewhat basic understanding of Rails, and Programming in general.
Basically, what you're going to need is some way to upload a file, then in your model do something like this:
Create an after_save in your model, I did something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
def after_save logger.debug "testing the status of the current file #{self.filename} #{self.content_type} #{self.public_filename} #{self.full_filename}" if movie? convert_video_to_flv grab_screenshot_from_video end end def movie? if self.content_type == "image/jpeg" false else true end end private def convert_video_to_flv logger.debug "currently trying to convert the video ( #{self.filename} ) path ( #{self.full_filename}) from content type of #{self.content_type} to flv" # system "ffmpeg -i #{full_filename} -ar 22050 -ab 32 -y -f flv -s 320x240 #{full_filename}.flv" system "ffmpeg -i #{full_filename} -r 25 -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -y -s 320x240 #{full_filename}.flv" # system "flvtool2 -U #{full_filename}" end def grab_screenshot_from_video logger.debug "Trying to grab a screenshot from #{self.full_filename}" system "ffmpeg -i #{full_filename}.flv -s 320x240 -vframes 1 -f image2 -an #{full_filename}.jpg" end
Now that's a good snippet that you can use to convert a video file, into an flv, and then it also grabs a screen-shot that you can use as a thumbnail, or whatever fancies your desires.
I hope this helps, I just wanted to share how simple it was, without getting to detailed. Let me know if you have some specific questions and I may take the time to help you out.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Memoir (from French: mémoire: memoria, meaning memory or reminiscence), is a literary nonfiction genre. More specifically, it is a collection of memories that an individual writes about moments or events, both public or private that took place in the author's life. The assertions made in the work are understood to be factual. While memoir has historically been defined as a subcategory of autobiography since the late 20th century, the genre is differentiated in form, presenting a narrowed focus. Like most autobiographies, memoirs are written from the first-person point of view. An autobiography tells the story of a life, while memoir tells a story from a life, such as touchstone events and turning points from the author's life. The author of a memoir may be referred to as a memoirist.
Historically, memoir has been defined as a subcategory of autobiography. While the art of memoir is nonfiction and written from the first-person point of view (much like autobiography), memoir is differentiated in form from autobiography. Rather than summarizing a life in whole, the memoir offers a much more narrow form. An autobiography tells the story of a life, while memoir tells a story from a life. Memoir is more about what can be gleaned from a few years or a moment in the life of the author, than from the author's life as a whole. In his own memoir Palimpsest: A Memoir, the author Gore Vidal writes about the first 40 years of his life. In narrative, he gave a personal definition of the art of memoir. "A memoir is how one remembers one's own life, while an autobiography is history, requiring research, dates, facts double-checked."[1]
The term memoirs has often been used to describe works that are more properly defined as autobiography, than the literary memoir. Memoir has been used interchangeably with autobiography or "memoirs", generally referred to in the possessive, "my memoirs" or "his memoirs", which were much like a collection of different memories from the author's life and thrown together.[2] Katharine Hepburn's book, Me: Stories of My Life, has often been referred to as Hepburn's memoirs. Hepburn herself warns the reader that the book fails to follow a pattern common with the memoir. She refers to the book as "stories of [her] life. And when I say stories I'm afraid I mean flashes—this—that—no no the other thing."[3]
Memoir has been written since the ancient times, as shown by Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, also known as Commentaries on the Gallic Wars. In the work, Caesar describes the battles that took place during the nine years that he spent fighting local armies in the Gallic Wars. His second memoir, Commentarii de Bello Civili (or Commentary on the Civil War) is an account of the events that took place between 49 and 48 BC in the civil war against Gnaeus Pompeius and the Senate. The noted Libanius, teacher of rhetoric who lived between an estimated 314 AD and 394 AD, framed his life memoir as one of his literary orations, which were written to be read aloud in the privacy of his study. This kind of memoir refers to the idea in ancient Greece and Rome, that memoirs were like "memos", or pieces of unfinished and unpublished writing, which a writer might use as a memory aid to make a more finished document later on.
In the Middle Ages, Geoffrey of Villehardouin, Jean de Joinville, and Philippe de Commines wrote memoirs, while the genre was represented toward the end of the Renaissance, through the works of Blaise de Montluc of France. Until the Age of Enlightenment encompassing the 17th and 18th centuries, works of memoir were written by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury; François de La Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac of France; and Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon, who wrote Memoirs at his family's home at the castle of La Ferté-Vidame. While Saint-Simon was considered writer possessing a high level of skill for narrative and character development, it wasn't until well after his death that his work as a memoirist was recognized, resulting in literary fame.[4]
Over the latter half of the 18th through the mid-20th century, memoirists generally included those who were noted within their chosen profession. These authors wrote as a way to record and publish their own account of their public exploits. Authors included politicians or people in court society and were later joined by military leaders and businessmen. An exception to these models is Henry David Thoreau's 1854 memoir Walden, which presents his experiences over the course of two years in a cabin he built near Walden Pond.
Twentieth-century war memoirs became a genre of their own, including, from the First World War, Ernst Jünger (Storm of Steel) and Frederic Manning's Her Privates We. Memoirs documenting incarceration by Nazi Germany during the war include Primo Levi's If This Is a Man, which covers his arrest as a member of the Italian Resistance Movement, followed by his life as a prisoner in Auschwitz; and Elie Wiesel's Night, which is based on his life prior to and during his time in the Auschwitz, Buna Werke, and Buchenwald concentration camps.
With the expressed interest of preserving history through the eyes of those who lived it, some organizations work with potential memoirists to bring their work to fruition. The Veterans History Project, for example, compiles the memoirs of those who have served in a branch of the U.S. military – especially those who have seen active combat.[5] Many public libraries give Memoir Writing classes that are geared towards senior citizens.[6]
