@Rounin did a pretty good job.

“Formats” is really “Supported Formats”
I think『24時間ワンセグ野郎』 is the name of the actual project, so I’m not sure if it should be translated or not. “24-hour 1seg Guy” sounds good enough to me. I think in this case, though “24-hour 1seg bastard” might be closer.
「野郎」 is kinda derogatory, and the project does look kinda hackey that way, it’s just a bunch of receivers in hubs.

“It was the only language I could use freely.”
I’m not positive about this translation, but I have no idea. how did you translate 「くらいしかなかった」 ?

the second line, I’d write as
” I was thinking, “If it can be done in ruby, then why can’t it be done in perl?” ”

I don’t think this is about shitting on ruby, I think it’s because the author used RubyIZUMI as a reference for this project, and the two languages are similar enough that porting code shouldn’t be hard.

finally,
“Intrigued by “24hour1segGuy” I made a 24 hour 1seg recording server, for Linux.”
It might be ‘inspired by’, ‘for’ or ‘starting off from’. not sure. But the “for linux” part is a separate sentence , and I think this is intentional.
maybe: “Inspired by “24hour1SegGuy”, I made a 24 hour 1seg recording server. But for Linux.”

Most of the stuff you could watch on OneSeg is up on youtube or ニコニコ anyways… some evenings you can catch some crappy american action film dubbed by what sounds like drunken salary men though, which is good for a laugh.

What a dry translation.. e.g;

>If similar things can be written
>in ruby why not in perl.

>rubyで出来るならperlでも出来るんじゃないか、と。

[If Ruby can do it, even Perl can do it right?]

Sounds like he’s shitting Ruby to me, you wouldn’t get that from your translation though.

IIRC the law in Japan is that the 1seg channel has to carry the same content at the HD channel it shares with.

I wonder how much storage that takes up? I guess 1seg isn’t that much to begin with but how much hdd space can that take if he’s recording a bunch (8?) 24hrs a day?

Any way here is my translation:

perlRTMP

RTMP server written in perl.

Formats

* MPEG2-TS (.ts) MPEG2-TS (. Ts)
* MP4 (.mp4) MP4 (. Mp4)
* “24hour1segGuy”(.ts & .idx)

Why perl?

It was the only language I could use freely.
If similar things can be written in ruby why not in perl.

Why MPEG2-TS?

Intrigued by “24hour1segGuy” I made a 24 hour 1seg recording server, for Linux.
To watch via streaming (or progressive download) from a Windows box it ends up having to be converted to MP4, and that takes time.
And when converting to MP4, some VFR stations will end up with video/audio syncing problems, and trying to prevent that by extrapolating time and re-embedding to sync takes too much time again.
A stream which transmits video and audio simultaneously will not have that problem, so I was left thinking it would be nice to have a RTMP server that could handle MPEG2-TS directly.
