Auto-Deploying Blogs to GitHub Pages with Travis CI

GitHub Pages doesn't support jekyll-archives now PR. We can use Travis CI to build it and push to gh-pages branch.

There is already some gists talks about this topic using bash. However, Travis now support deploy in .travis.yml , which is super easy to set up. (Deploying to GitHub Pages is experimental now [2018.07.25])

Create `.travis.yml` File

Here is an example.

Converting mkv to mp4 with `ffmpeg`

Essentially just copy the existing video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business!

The easiest way to "convert" MKV to MP4, is to copy the existing video and audio streams and place them into a new container. This avoids any encoding task and hence no quality will be lost, it is also a fairly quick process and requires very little CPU power. The main factor is disk read/write speed.

With ffmpeg this can be achieved with -c copy. Older examples may use -vcodec copy -acodec copy which does the same thing.

These examples assume ffmpeg is in your PATH. If not just substitute with the full path to your ffmpeg binary.
