I'm looking for the best way to pull some video files off of DVDs onto the desktop. These are not copyright protected. I don't want a program that plays the movie and then make a duplicate like most windows programs these are TOO slow. Also if I could shrink and change the format that would be a huge bonus.
View 1 RepliesI'm vaguely remembering a video stream ripper that was open source and could be compiled for linux, mac, and windows. It's name ended with ++ and I can't remember anything else Basically, it was like StreamTransport but open source and multiprotocol capable. Can anybody help me find it again? I'd be open to alternatives too of course! My basic need is to rip anything being rendered by my video card.

Started with a clean install, with new GeForce 6200 video card installed. Very impressed that when I tried to activate compiz, it informed me that I must download and install the relevant drivers - and it provided me with a 'one click' install! Now I'm running the latest driver (195) - well done guys!Anyway, happy as I am with a no-fuss install, I'd like to know what is everyones pick of CD ripper to MP3?
I've downloaded Asunder, but this seems very slow in comparison to other Windows-based apps I've tried.I wanted to try Sound Juicer, but unfortunately it requires some code to change from VBR to CBR @ 320kbps.
All I'd like to reliably do is rip a few audio CDs. SoundKonverter - doesn't work at all. Log tells me nothing SoundJuicer - OK for one disk. Usually crashes when the read disk is ejected and attempts are made to read the next. Failing that, it will read a few tracks and then lock up. K3B - Only rips first disk, then the progress window (form) locks up at 100%. Cancel button doesn't work. Need to kill task.
RipOff - works OK, but so slow... life's too short goobox - locks up before it even reads the disk and despite its claims I don't think it's a "rip" tool anyway.
I have been away from Linux in general and Ubuntu since 2006, but now wish to make Linux, and probably the Ubuntu distribution, my main operating system, especially for the Internet. I have been using Open Office since version 1.0, so no training or migration is necessary there. However, I have one challenge with my Ubuntu 9.1 ... movies which play under Windows will not play in Ubuntu. Under Windows Firefox needs Adobe Flash Player 10 to play these videos ... is there some open source software that will give Ubuntu Firefox the same capability?

What would be a nice, simple command to go through all files in a directory (no sub-directories), and change all the MP4 Video files I have to MP3 audio files (keeping the original filenames except for changing the "mp4" extension to "mp3")?
The files in question were videos taken with one of those Flip cameras, but I only need the audio off of it.
I have this project for my operating systems class and I have put together the basic flow chart to aid me in writing the program. I know how to use pipes as a buffer to hold info. I know how to create a binary semaphore. But what I dont know is this:
How to "use a delay adjustment parameter K in the critical section to adjust the speed of the display process to show that without semaphore protection the displayed contents of the buffer are randomly interleaved."
First off, I am definitely not asking anyone to give me the solution. But I do need some guidance. So I figure there will be an if statement with two options:
1. If true, use semaphore protection to enter/exit critical section
2. If false, no semaphore protection -- this is where the contents of the buffer should be interleaved.
Now does that mean that as each child process enters the non-protected critical section, it should "sleep" for a randomized time? I mean, will this allow my output to be interleaved?
So lets say my command line looks like this:
what happens to the 100? Is it randomized using rand and srand and passed as a parameter to sleep() inside the critcal section?
This is my first time creating a video DVD from other video files. I drag and dropped 2 .flv files to the area where it tells you to drag them. They appeared there. Then I clicked "Burn..." and brasero disappeared.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to somehow setup a secondary group of log files that log every action taken on the server where your average user wouldn't know that they're being logged. Perhaps if a hacker got in and messed around or something you'd be able to see what they did, but they wouldn't have permission to modify the file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drive that originally was used with a Linksys Network Storage Link (NSLU2), then stopped working with it. Now I'm trying to get the files off the drive. When I USB connect the drive to Ubuntu, I can see the files, but I'm unable to open them or copy them. The error message is: "Error Opening File: Permission Denied". I did have permissions set on the NSLU2. So far I'm not able to find a way to get around the permissions issue in Ubuntu.
I have used apps like EASEUS Data Recovery and Recover My Files. It appears that they are finding the files and are able to access them, so I know it can be done. I don't mind spending some $, but these apps are taking a *long* time to run. If I could properly access the files in Ubuntu long enough to copy the files, I think I'd be all set.
I recently set up a machine with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS to help to replace an aging VAX mailserver that was the DMZ mailserver for the company I work for. I set up a default install of postfix (via apt-get) to function as a DMZ border device that routes between two internal mailservers based on subdomain aliasing via internal DNS.
The problem is that although I have installed no anti-spam or anti-virus options, mail sent to this machine from any outside source containing a password-protected zip file is being rejected with error:
552 Password protected zip file found inside of the email
At first I'd thought that possibly it was the sending mailserver issuing this error, but after further testing I found that no matter the source, any password protected zip file is immediately rejected. Being as we're in a HIPAA-sensitive environment, this has been relied upon as a backup for people to do one time encrypted file sends via email. The file in question is relatively small, and I do not have any quotas on, and the same test file sent two ways (one encrypted zip and one non-encrypted zip) caused the encrypted zip only to fail.
As stated before, I do not use any type of antivirus or antispam measures, no header or body checks have been put in place, and in the course of trying to troubleshoot this problem, have probably opened my server up more than is strictly wise. I really need to enable this feature as being unable to take encrypted zips puts the entire migration at risk.
I use Ubuntu 9.04 exclusively on my own machines, but I have a couple of flash drives that got infected by some corrupt windows executable (*.exe) files, probably by somebody's trojan (they are Cruzer 4GB so came with installed fancy programs that I dont need but didnt remove and Windows keeps installing unwanted ini files and other trash every time I use them in somebody elses machine or in an internet cafe). I deleted quite a few files, but some are stubborn.
$ sudo chmod +w-X doesnt seem to work. How do I unprotect and remove them? The filesystem is vFAT.
I suspect the files were created by some kind of a trojan as my work requires my flash to be pretty promiscuous.
When I 've backed up all the good files I need, I'd be happy to reformat the flash drives as straight vanilla data storage and retrieval, provided I can still use them on a variety of machines running MS windows as well as on my Linux machines. Any guidance on reformatting?
I have two files, aw1.mp4 and aw2.mp4, each about 1 GB in size. I want to splice them together (aw2 after aw1) on a single 4.7 GB DVD, as one movie, and burn (transcode?) them so that the disc will play on a home DVD player that's +/-5 years old. ffmpeg -i aw1 aw2 worked.

Video is not appear with those players and can see only black screens. Sound works well.

I'm running it in a virtual machine right now, because when I tried to dual boot my computer, it broke my hard drive.
I'm having a problem playing .mp4 files though. My phone only takes videos in this file format, and most of the time I'm working with large amounts of files, so converting them isn't an option. I've tried many different players, and they all lag like crazy, making the video nearly unwatchable. This is a huge flaw for me, and one reason I'm not bothering to try dual booting again...
I have a Samsung BD-6800 blu-ray player that i want to stream HD mkv files to from my pc. I made sure DLNA was enabled in the /etc/ushare.conf file. The blu-ray player sees my pc perfectly and i can navigate to the folders where the videos are stored, however when i select a folder with videos in it all that is shown is an option called "upper folder" which takes me back to the root directory. The videos are nowhere to be found. I checked on the Ushare web site to see if mkv files are supported which they are.
Here is what my /etc/ushare.conf looks like.
Code:
# /etc/ushare.conf
# Edit this file with 'dpkg-reconfigure ushare'
# Configuration file for uShare
# uShare UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare').
