Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Disc Not Readable - Cannot Access Contents For Conversion
May 1, 2010
Does anyone know what I should do to read a dvd disc that I recorded on my dvd recorder off the satellite decoder. When I look in winxp it shows the contents which is only a video_ts folder and no audio folder. Inserting the same into the pc with ubuntu 9.10 running the drive reads the disc but I then cannot access the contents, which I want to convert to a divx file or similar. Will I have to use my Windows system for this?

I'm sorry for this stupid question, but I have nowhere found it.I need to access to my USB disc from text mode (In Fedora LiveCD I see it and i can access /media/New Volume). In F12 runlevel 3 in mc I see it in /dev/disc/by-label as @Newx20Volume. But I don't know what is the correct path.

I have generated some .eps figure which I needed to show one by one. I converted them using convert file.eps file.jpg but the generated files were kind of blurred (not much, but they are not of the same quality as the .eps files) Is there anything to do to get a good conversion? Also, which is better, is/are there any image viewer package that would help show the .eps files as .jpg files? I have tried, gthumb, gqview, f-spot, image magic (display).

Got some TV progs in MKV format which are jumpy when played through VLC. Other shows in the series AVI format play OK.
Are there any open source programs out there that can convert MKV to AVI?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and recorded a screencast with gtk-recordMyDesktop. Upon completion of the recording I attempted to convert the OGV file to an AVI, for ease of editing purposes, using WinFF.(And yes, I have installed libavcodec-unstripped-52) The result was an incredibly annoying error message Which stated:
Code:
FFmpeg version SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.2, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

It seems more and more people are encoding with the MKV container on bit torrent these days, and a lot of the shows I'm watching are starting to release almost exclusively with .mkv formatted videos. This is not a problem if I want to watch the shows on my computer but I've become accustomed to watching them on my PlayStation3 using my thumb drive. It seems the offical documentation for the PS3 includes a list of supported codecs [URL], but when I use FFMPEG to convert with libxvid video and aac audio in the MP4 container my PS3 says the output video is not supported. I've also tried most combinations of libxvid, libx264, mpeg4 for -vcodec and aac, libmp3lame for -acodec in several different container formats but nothing seems to work. I have found one option that always works:
Code:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mkv -sameq -ac 2 outputfile.mpeg
I don't like doing it this way, however, as the output file is twice the size and the audio quality is terrible. If I don't reduce the audio channels to only two using -ac 2 FFMPEG throws an error (apparently MKV audio supports 6 channels). And preserving the video quality in MPEG video using -sameq produces too a large file (and I prefer to keep my files as lossless as possible). Ideally I want to save the files on an external HD I have but if a single episode of a show is 1.5 GB it's not very pratical.
Anyway, the PS3 docs say it supports h264 and xvid with aac audio, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone sucessfully used FFMPEG to convert an MKV to MP4 for use on a PS3?

I've been trying out a few scripts (I hacked one myself) to convert HD MKV files to MP4 containers. Specifically, the main issue I'm trying to solve is converting DTS -> AAC audio. I noticed the scripts I used before used ffmpeg. I tried NeroAacEnc and found the audio quality is much better. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with MP4Box accepting the audio NeroAacEnc creates. I also hit one other issue and that is making sure HxW size of video is in multiples of 16. I was trying to use ffmpeg pad filter for that but couldn't figure it out.

I had my hard disk partitioned as below:-
Size Label Mount point File system
52 GB Multimedia /MM ntfs
52 GB Backup /ABackup ntfs
52 GB Extras /Extras ext4
27 GB root / ext4
60 GB home /home ext4
The problem is that I cannot access the /MM and contents. I tried Properties > Permissions and changed applied the changes to subfolders and contents too. Now I can access /MM but not the contents. All are marked with a lock logo.There are numerous folders/files.Changing the permissions individually is a hectic work.possible to do it in a command line/script?

I am Ubuntu user, having only recently left the stinking, bloated corpse that is Windows ($225 for an upgrade to Win7 is just obscene). I have a huge library of Mp3's, which I have managed to enable support for on Ubuntu, and have installed Amarok, as I didn't think much of rythmbox.
So far so good, but I still need a program to rip/convert the rest of my CD's, and to convert lossless files. I'm looking for a CD ripper with similar functionality to EAC (Exact Audio Copy). One aspect I am looking for is the ability to manually change the Mp3 encoder used by the program. I am partial to the lame 3.98 encoder, and would like to keep using it. If the program already uses this encoder (or a close version), then that's fine and no need for the ability to manually change the encoder.

So I typically use cat to put my avi files together.. but today I figure lets see about ripping over so I can watch on my Droid.
As nobody has a xvid or vlc player on the droid (yet.. coders are doing alot for Android ya know) I will have to convert the video down and change the format.. So.. can anybody tell me a mencoder command line directive to get as close to this as possible (I found ipod settings leave the actual video lacking).
Video
Format MP4
Encoder H.264
Resolution 854 x 480 (or 720 x 480; 480 x 320; 320 x 240)
Frame Rate 12 fps - 30 fps

With Banshee, I am easily able to put music onto my iPod and have it convert my FLAC to something that the iPod can read. But is there a way to control the quality of the conversion. I don't really want my FLAC to go down to like 192kbps. Are there any settings that I am missing or any files that could be edited to make this happen?

I had some success with handrake to rip dvd's in older versions of ubuntu. i now have a clean install of 10.10 and know that handbrake is not compatible (even tried the ppa of the nighly builds without success). In looking for alternatives, i cam across arista transcoder....which seems perfect for my needs (simple), but whenever i put a dvd in the queue its gives me an error that says conversion failed....no valid dvd title found. this happens no matter what dvd i use and no matter what preset i choose.

I have some downloaded files of radio programme from BBC which are .aac. I have never come across this type before. Googled it so now I am a bit wiser and VLC seems to play them without problem but they are not accepted by my upnp client devices which are happier with flac or mp3. I would prefer flac but what is the preferred conversion software.

I spent about a half hour wrestling with different website tutorials about how to convert a file with ffmpeg and figuring out how to get all the video quality options right. Then I discovered you can just use the -sameq option and it figures it all out for you if you don't want to change the vid quality but just want it in another format. Thought I'd leave this on the site in case anyone else finds himself in the same boat.

I'm using Rhythmbox to manage my music collection. I have ripped my CDs into FLAC files. I'm using the Motorola Milestone (The Droid) as my music player and syncing it using Rhythmbox.
Now, when I transfer my music files from Rhythmbox to the Milestone, it automatically convert the FLAC files to MP3. But the conversion is set to 128Kps.
How do I change this default conversion rate? Or even, how do I change to another conversion format altogether?

i am using ubuntu lucid now and using ubuntu for 2years now.except nokia pc-suite i do not miss other s/w for windows.i tried to convert audio and video for using in nokia 5800,but i am not very successful mainly due to my inexperience.i installed winff and ffmpeg and searched a bit in this forum.found a few guides but mostly the converted files shows 'unable to play video or audio' in nokia 5800.
Code:
-r 29.97 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 400x240 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1200k -b 1200k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ab 160k -ac 2 -async1
this is the example of wiff preset command for nokian810(but not working for me).apparently there is no need for -i or output file(and here i get confused from the command lines posted in the forum.

I think that the biggest problem that I have had is that some of the music (and audio books) that I have gotten have not played on my walkman, or have not been able to be downloaded in to I-tunes.
First: I hate itunes... I only try to make it work because I love my wife. (and do not want her to hit me)
Second: I know that my Walkman has a very limited range of files that it can play, so I will need to convert some types of files.
But my basic questions:
* How can I figure out what format a file is in?
* Below that, how can I identify the singular characteristics of a file? (bit rate, and other formats...)
* Is there a best way to switch the formats or format options of these files. (I am currently using sox to do this, it seems to very complete)
Basically. I know nothing! The most that I do not know is that two files that as far as I can tell have the same formats, and should work the same never the less, one of them works, the other does not. I am looking to figure out a way to look at these files (maybe they are mislabeled) and figure out what their real format is (and a more complete format than just being MP3 or such) and then to be able to convert it in to a format that is able to be used by myself and/or my wife.

My wife's XP has crashed and I need to save files. I've discovered the command to mount the hard drive - unfortunately I need to force the mount, but I can't do it because I have to be in root. I can see the root user in the user list, but when I try to switch I can't access it. How I can do it to back up my wife's files. I have Kubuntu 8 and KDE 4.1.

I am trying to migrate an XP Laptop to FC 11. I downloaded the latest KDE-Live-x86 image and burned it successfully. When I boot with it however, I get the splash screen and no further.Any option I choose, ncluding the CD diagnostics and Memory Test result in the following:invalid compressed format (err=1)--System HaltedI'm certainly no expert, but am not a linux noob either, yet am at a total loss.Google has yielded many theories, but no solutions. It seems that this error is not exclusive to FC 11 either. Older fedoras, as well as non RPM distros seem to be intermittently effected as well.I have verified the MD5 of the iso, and have verified the cd against the iso. The disc gives the same error in another computer. I cannot access the on-disc diagnostics. XP runs fine.

this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.

I have just installed 11.3 x64. The installation went fine and worked for the first few hours. I ran the online update tool, and now it cannot find grub unless the installation disc is inserted and I select the "boot from hard disc" option.
I have read about the problem of the root partition being back, but not sure that's it.
sda1 - swap
sda2 - /
sda3 - /home
There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?
