Ubuntu Multimedia :: Best Way To Duplicate A DVD?
Feb 23, 2011
I finally got round to transcribing our wedding video from VCR to DVD. Now I would like to duplicate that video a few times and pass copies round the family, more to preserve it than to bore the relatives.
I dragged the DVD icon from the desktop to a thunar (file manager) window and it created a folder containing this lot code...
Total size 1.3 GB.
But I have no idea what to do with these files.
I tried this command code...
and ended up with a 4.4 GB file, which Archive Manager says contains the above folders, and presumably also contains an image of 3.1 GB of formatted but unused disk.
What's the best thing to do here? The ISO file will presumably burn a good DVD copy but it's a waste of disk space to keep it, (I'd like to keep a copy on hard disk too) and I guess will also take needlessly long to burn.
Can I create a smaller ISO from the file folders? If so, is there an app to edit the titles before I do so? The recorder put a second title "Empty Title" on the title page which I'd like to get rid of. I discovered by accident that the VOB files play in parole media player - one is the title screen, and the other two contain about half the video each. So I don't know what all the other files are about.

I'm looking for a program to remove songs I downloaded more than once. They're all tagged differently, and some are of varying sizes/lengths/types.

I'm using a Realtek alc888 sound chipset (integrated on GA-P965-DS3 mobo) which is capable of 8-channel output (front, side, rear, center/sub). The front-out jack on my mobo is disfunctional and thus can't be used (aweful distortions and such dueo faulty connection), thus it needs to be reassigned to another jack, but simulating a 'front-out' jack. I was able to do this in windows using the Realtek HD Audio application that comes with the drivers (reassigning jacks) and need to do something similar in ubuntu.I've searched through a lot of ALSA documentation, tried to take examples of switching channels using asound.conf and modify them to my needs, but nothing has come of it. As such I've resorted to asking here.Another less important issue is doing something similar but duplicating front-out and mapping it onto the side-out jack, for headphones.

I just imported a large set of photos into Shotwell on Ubuntu. The popup on completion says:
Quote:
Import Complete
749 duplicate photos/videos were not imported:
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
(and 745 more)
How can I get a full list of the 749 photos and videos that were not imported?

I'm using Debian Jessie, KDE 4.14.2. At some point over the last 6 months or so a couple of related problems appeared on my desktop...
1) Sometimes sound appears not to be working and I have to go to change the output device to get this to work (right click on kmix, audio setup, hardware setup, device conguration dropdown to change between analog output and speaker.. -see screenshot [URL] ....). This is often a problem but is particularly a problem if I boot up with a headphone/speaker plugged into the jack...then if I remove this, it doesn't output to the laptop built-in speakers unless I change the settings.
What I want it to do is fairly straightforward, I just want it to use the laptop speakers when nothing is plugged in, but use headphone/external speaker output if i put something in the headphone jack.
2) I have lots of sliders when I click on kmix in my taskbar - I don't really understand what all of these do, they seem like duplicates...and also, sometimes sliders for specific applications seem to behave independently, defaulting to very quiet, or so on - generally behaving strangely! see: [URL] .... for a screenshot.
Similarly, when I click the button to go to mixer, I get multiple duplicate tabs, some with lots of sliders again - some with none: [URL] ...., [URL] ...., and [URL] .....
I also have a problem, much more minor, but perhaps related: when I'm playing music in banshee, if I reduce volume using the system volume (keyboard shortcuts/ kmix), it goes down in banshee...but doesn't go back up again. so if i mute system sound then unmute it, banshee stays muted and i have to use the specific setting within banshee...
I'm not sure where these problems came from as it all previously worked fine within kde for me. Perhaps i messed something up intentionally or perhaps an update caused this ...

I tried to put a terminal in the desktop using more or less the procedure described in this article:
[URL]
It worked fine, but then I installed avant-windows-navigator and I think it created some conflicts with compiz and other applications.Both the desktop terminal and Skype started to appear in duplicate when I logged in. So I went to the startup applications menu and disabled them both. When I logged back in they both appear only once, but the terminal is in the wrong spot in the desktop.So there are probably some startup registers somewhere that are causing this.i've tried reinstalling compiz and I uninstall AWN and it didn't work.

I am currently trying Gnome 3 on Natty. Unity didn't do it for me. One weird problem I have run into with Gnome 3 is duplicate icons. There will be 2 of various icons. One icon normal and the second blurry. Other than this Gnome 3 seems to be fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

I've got a lot of photos I've take over the years, and I suspect I've got lots and lots of duplicates, since I may have multiple backups for the same photos.
Have anyone experience with deduplication of photos in Ubuntu, and could recommend an approach for a quick and efficient way to do this?

I have the notification area displayed in my panel. Normally, it shows one speaker icon, one battery icon, and one wireless network icon. But now it occasionally shows 2 speakers and no wireless icon, or two batteries and no wireless icon. Sometimes rebooting fixes it. But it seems to be random. This used to work fine, and I can't figure out what I did to mess with it.

I used to be able to resolve this problem by simply opening my sources.list file and doing a search and delete, but now Ubuntu appears to have two completely different methods of handling sources. What is is the simple solution? I would really like to have everything all in one place.
Code:
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_sunab_ppa_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mozillateam_firefox-stable_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I am working through a collection of many thousand photographs in many collections, spanning decades. One of the folders is a "Selected_images" folder which should only contain copies of images from the collections.
How can I check that the files in "Selected_images" are all indeed copies and have an identical counterpart somewhere in the collections hierarchy, not necessarily with the same name?
At present I am scanning the output of fdupes -r collection, which is tedious (although, in fact, no photographs should ever be duplicated except in "Selected_images").

Ive been noticing lately that in my media folder, where I am able to see all the drives I have connected, it seems that each one is duplicated. For example, if I have a drive called "WD" theres another called "WD_", or "Lacie" and "Lacie_". And when I click on the ones with the "_", it says I don't not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of 'lacie'. But when I click the ones without the underscore, I get in. But heres the funny part, when using jdownloader, and i choose the folder where to save the files, I have to select the drive that has the underscore in it. Heres some pics and if you look at my info screenlet to the left, you will see that it shows the drives with the undercore.

To start by saying that I am brand new to anything linux. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit to dual boot on my Windows 7 32-bit PC. This last time that I booted my pc the grub looked like this:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-25-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-25-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-24-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode)
Windows 7 (loader) (on/dev/sda1)
Windows 7 (loader) (on/dev/sda2)
From what I understand the duplicate for Ubuntu is just an updated Kernal, hence the -24 to -25. What I didn't understand is why there is a duplicate for Windows 7 and what the sda1 and sda2 is? Someone please explain. When I first installed Ubuntu, there was only one listing for Ubuntu and one for Windows 7.
Also, I was wondering what you do to keep up with new kernals and remove old one's. How do you keep the Kernals from piling up? I assume that when another Kernal becomes available, there will then be 3 Ubuntu listings in the grub. One last thing is I would like some suggestions for the best way of going about learning linux. (i.e. terminal commands)

For the past few weeks I have been using the lastest Ubuntu OS. The following menu pops-up during the boot process.
GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode)
Memory test (mentest86+)
Memory test (mentest86+, serial console 115200)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
Just recently the menu displays duplicate entries. The first two entries are repeated (see below). What might have caused these duplicate entries to appear and how to correct them? Before this problem occurred I did not issue any sudo commands.
GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3

I see this posted in several places in the past but no answers. If I use UUID in fstab to mount additional partitions I get duplicate entries for the partitions in the Places Menu. I can solve the problem by mounting the partitions by Label ( /dev/sdb2 /mountpoint ) but half of the time grub2 will not mount the drive correctly using this method and will change the volume ID (sdb2 becomes sdf2) .

I have 4 NICs in my 10.04 server, 3 of which I have bonded. The bond itself is working fine -- I'm able to connect to and from the machine -- but whenever I try to ping out, I get duplicate replies. Google has, so far, yielded nothing of use.
I've included potentially relevant files:
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0

I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I originally had installed the nvidia drivers using the bash script from nvidia's website. This time around I used the ones from synaptic. However now when I go and look in System -> Administration there are 2 entries for "NVIDIA X Server Settings". The first one has the NVIDIA logo, the other one has a grey question mark. Does anyone know why there are 2 entries and how I can remove one of them?

Contained within each of these 67 text files is about 1 million urls. Yes. I have 67 text files that contain 1 million lines of urls each. I am sure I am swimming in duplicates. I tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?

I had troubles with my NTFS external hdd mounting without becoming root until I changed my fstab file. However after changing my fstab file I created an error in the place of the one I had fixed. Now since the change I have two entries of my external hard drive in Places. I'd like to know how to remove the duplicate entry.
Provided is my current fstab and screenshot of duplicate:
