“Convert the XVID files in my Downloads folder to NIST”
Or run it yourself:
filestarcli -i file.xvid -c "convert to nist"
Runs in Filestar's cloud and needs a Filestar plan.
Can my AI agent convert XVID to NIST?
Yes, with a paid Filestar plan: this skill runs in Filestar's cloud. Install the Filestar CLI with npm install -g filestar and your agent can run filestarcli -i file.xvid -c "convert to nist".
Xvid-encoded video files are digital video files that have been compressed and encoded using the Xvid codec, an open-source video codec designed for compressing video data in order to facilitate faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Xvid, which is a reverse spelling of "DivX," emerged as a popular format due to its ability to compress video files without significant loss of quality.
SPHERE (SPeech HEader Resources) is a file format defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and is used with speech audio. SoX can read these files when they contain μ-law and PCM data. It will ignore any header information that says the data is compressed using shorten compression and will treat the data as either μ-law or PCM. This will allow SoX and the command line shorten program to be run together using pipes to encompasses the data and then pass the result to SoX for processing.
