Re: [Condor-users] Rendering

[Thomas Luff <Thomas.Luff@xxxxxxx>]

I'm clueless on rendering but using the below approach mentioned by Edier you could do something like follows

split video.avi into x parts. each with the name video.1.avi, video.2.avi, video.n.avi or similar

Then your condor submit file would like

# ffmpeg Submit File
Universe=Vanilla
Should_Transfer_Files = Yes
When_To_Transfer_Output = ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT
Transfer_Executable=false
Executable=ffmpeg
Log=Global_Job_Log.txt

Arguments= "-arg 1 -arg 2"
Input = video.$(PROCESS).avi
Error=Error.$(PROCESS).txt
Queue 10


The `Queue 10` will then submit 10 jobs, each with the same Cluster ID but a different Process ID, then `$(PROCESS)` will be expanded to the job's process id, and only fetch that video part.

Obviously `Queue 10` can be substituted for however many video parts you may have.

It may also be worth looking at http://www.cirquedigital.com/products/gdiqueue/ - A tool built on top of condor that claims "Distributed rendering made easy".

Assuming you have ffmpeg in all your nodes I think you could run something like this:
#
# ffmpeg Submit File
#
Universe=Vanilla
should_transfer_files = Yes
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT
transfer_executable=false
Executable=ffmpeg
Log=Global_Job_Log.txt

Arguments= "Your arguments + Your Video File to 1st Run"
Input = You_Video_File
Output=File_To_Save_Output$(process) # Maybe you don't need this one.
Error=Error$(process).txt
queue

Arguments= "Your arguments + Your Video File to 2nd Run"
Input = You_Video_File
Output=File_To_Save_Output$(process) # Maybe you don't need this one.
Error=Error$(process).txt
queue
.
.
.
# End of Submit File
condor_submit submit.condor (I recommend make a folder and save the submit file, and other required file in it, and run condor_submit from there)

Bye.

Hi Nicholas,
1. which program will you use to render the video? ffmpeg?
2. That program have Linux and Windows version?
3. Explicitly what do you mean by Render a video?
    Can you paste an example of the command you use to render it manually?

Bye.
