video sound track merger

Few “years” ago I made part of small promo project for Nestle Russia as subcontractor.
It was promo action, website with some videos. Kids make sound track and my task was to merge user sound track and original video soundtrack.
It`s really easy to do with ffmpeg or mencoder.

BTW: ffmeg much better it works o.k. with aac codec and mp4 container.

Code is VERY VERY dirty, we had absolutely no time, but it can be useful to someone. And I save it “just to remember”.

#!/bin/bash

( #start subprocess
  # Wait for lock on /var/lock/.merger-1.lock (fd 200) for 10 seconds
  flock -x -w 3 200
  if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then echo Cannot lock!; exit 1; fi
  echo $$>>/var/lock/.merger-1.lock #for backward lockdir compatibility, notice this command is executed AFTER command bottom  ) 200>/var/lock/.myscript-1.exclusivelock.

while true; do

if [ "$(ls -A $sourceaudio)" ]; then

  for i in `ls -1 $sourceaudio/*.wav | xargs -n1 basename`; do

  audioid=`echo $i | awk -F"--" '{print $2}' | awk -F"." '{print $1}'`

  sox $sourceaudio/$i /tmp1/$i rate 44100; mv /tmp1/$i $sourceaudio/$i; chown milkslice:milkslice $sourceaudio/$i || exit 1

And run screen with script. (alternative to upstart)

/usr/bin/screen -dm bash -c 'cd /root/merger-prod; /root/merger-prod/merger-prod.sh'
