Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Make AVI From VIDEO_TS Folder
Jan 6, 2011
I used DVD::RIP to make an AVI out of a VIDEO_TS folder, however it compressed it from 4gb to 1gb and the quality is uh.. kind of bad. How can I make an AVI out of a VIDEO_TS "video folder" without losing much quality? Size of the file doesn't matter.
Is there a way to autoplay a DVD when a (valid) VIDEO_TS folder is opened? Mos media players play VIDEO_TS folders but you have to start the player first and then select the folder. I am looking for a way so the media player(vlc) starts automaticly to play when I try to open the video_ts folder. A other option could be a right click option: play movie ith vlc (or something) Is this possible?
What's the easiest software to use (simplest command) that will read a VIDEO_TS folder (a ripped DVD) and transcode it? I don't want a GUI. mencoder looks like my best bet, but I just wanted to check before I start transcoding all my DVDs with it. Also, auto-cropping would be a great feature, but I don't think mencoder can do this unless you find this out prior to the transcode with mplayer.
I've searched but I can't seem to find something that is specific to what I'm looking for. I need to create an ISO from a VIDEO_TS folder on my hard drive. How would I go about that?
This may be a stupid question, but with Movie Player, how do I play a video_ts video? In VLC under media it has the option to open a directory, which is self explanatory that the video_ts option falls under. What about Movie Player?
some dvd's don't work with vlc or kaffeine when I select 'open disc'. Here the log from vlc:
[code]...
Seems this is one of very view disadvantages of a case sensitive OS. Has anyone an idea how I could tell vlc or kaffeine(xine) how to deal with that? I don't want to burn all my dvd's again with capitalised entries.
This question can be found on the Internet and on this forum but either there is no response or the advice is to move the folder to exclude on another path (in case of using a subfolder for ripped/downloaded mp3).
But in my case my music is on a SAN and I access it through CIFS. So every time I delete a file or folder it goes to the Trash, in a folder called #recycle, which Rhythmbox indexes as well. So I have to delete this folder to avoid duplicates...
Is there any configuration in Rhythmbox to exclude a folder?
I only see a configuration for multiple folders in gconf-editor: /apps/rhythmbox/library_locations
Some wierd issue here: when i sued verison 10.04 i could right click on the VIDEO_TS an select "open with Vlc". Now i'm running 10.04.2 and that option is gone. And it cannot be fixed either. Right click gives me what is shown in the screenshot (excuse me for the language, it is in Dutch).
I am attempting to make a shared folder for people that VPN into the network. This folder needs to be accessible to windows and mac machines. So far I have the VPN through ppptd working. I just don't know how to make a folder. I feel like this should be fairly easy. I am using Lucid Lynx server edition.
I been using linux for a while, but I havent had the time to really learn it. Something Id like to get more familiar with is bash so here is a simple example of something I would like to do:
I have a directory full of files. For each file in the directory create a new subdirectory with each files name.
I tried this:
#im already in this directory aaa=./* for a in $aaa do mkdir $a done
One of the problems is that there are spaces () and - in the filenames so I get many subfolders with names like "-" which i don't want.
I tried stuff like: aaa=./* for a in $aaa do mkdir "'"$a"'" done
This of course also did not work.
Additional I tried just creating a folder with the name of one of the files and I got this:
mkdir: cannot create directory `(audio) - R56339.EXE': File exists Well yeah a file exsists with that name, but I want to create a folder- why is there a conflict?
Just to be clear here are the contents of this folder: ~/Desktop/LAB/Media/Drivers - (Image Deployment)/Optiplex_GX260/XP> ls (audio) - R56339.EXE (NIC-Onboard-Intel) - R54402.EXE (Modem-datafax-V92) - R54403.EXE OEM_Applications
I've made some of my own icons in Gimp and saved them as .pngs. The problem is, when I use them they always appear smaller than the system default icons. Is there no way to make them as the same size as the system icons? I read somewhere that GNOME (which is what I use) uses .png .svg and .xpm. I am only able to save as .png with GIMP, is there a way to get .svg and .xpm extension capabilities with GIMP?
These are the icons (only two): 1. HJ-Split Folder 2. Blood Frontier Folder
Is there maybe a specific way to make folder icons that I am not following? Using Ubuntu 9.10, Desktop edition.
I need to make a few folders, but I need the fold name to reflect the time which they were created. For example: if I create a folder at on 2010.06.03 at 13:01:34 then I would need a file name something similar to the following 20100603_130134. In addition, could the same method be used for .tar files? I would like a bash script which I can run to perform the following; however, I am not familiar with scripting in Linux yet.
I have a WebDAV server at home with at folder that I want to mount on my Ubuntu computer at work over the Internet. Everything works fine if I just use dav://user@server:port in Nautilus so I tried adding it to fstab (using davfs2) and managed to get it to mount fine.
The problem is that when mounted using fstab Nautilus thinks that it is a lokal folder and downloads images and movies to create thumbnails/previews, something that it doesn't do when just using dav://. This uses a lot of bandwith everytime I'm trying to access a folder with any media. I'm wondering if there is any way to exclude my entire /media/nas folder from showing thumbnails?
i cant seem to find how to do it. For the Keyboard shortcuts, i want to make a shortcut that opens my download folder. I can add custom commands, but in the command line what do i put to open the folder?
cat /etc/group | grep www-data | grep chad chad:x:1000:www-data
the user www-data should have read access to my folder but i am still getting a 403 forbidden error i have done this before without issue anyone see what is wrong? i have a folder i use for file transfers over IM it is more reliable than the messengers file transfer abilities
i have been running windows from ME through to Windows 7 over the years. and i must admit that because of all the flaws with the earlier versions and those wonderful little viruses that seem to show up even though your teenagers swear they didn't do anything ,have made me somewhat skilled at formatting and reinstalling the OS to the point where i have done it for several other ppl to help them out. I rather enjoy doing it actually.
and i have been a big fan of lets just call it "open source" windows software. now this ubuntu thing seems to have taken some of the fun away..
i ran the cd version of 10.10 and really liked what i saw so i installed it alongside my windows 7. naturally as luck would have it something went astray and i can no longer boot to win7. not a big deal. i was going to format and reinstall anyways. ha ha.
i have been reading through the forum learning what i can but now my question
i still have a machine running windows on my home network.
what i would like to do is make a shortcut to a folder on it from my ubuntu desktop. i do have full access to the machine and the folder , i would just like a shortcut .
I have roughly 5Tb of movies spread out on 6 drives in my system. I'd like to create a folder that will display the contents of certain folders without actually moving the data. For example, I have 3 drives with /HDMovies and 3 with /SDMovies. How do I create two new folders /HDMovies and /SDMovies and have the data from the drives be collected?
I'm looking for a shell script that will recursively make all of the file and directory names in a large directory tree lowercase. It has to work with file and folder names with spaces and keep the spaces in the converted names. The reason I want to do this is because most of my personal files are on my Windows partition, and before I discovered Ubuntu, I made my file and folder names have mixed case as in "My File.txt", and now I want it to look like "my file.txt".
I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. I use Deluge on both boots. Both instances of Deluge share a default download location on the Windows partition. I would like both instances of Deluge to share it's 'State' folder, which is where Deluge stores the .torrent files it is currently using and the information about their progress and such. On the windows side this location is%APPDATA%delugestateand onUbuntu~/.config/deluge/stateI found them, they look good.I can read/write to the windows side from Ubuntu, the windows partition is automounted, yada yada. I can even autoadd the .torrents from the Windows location when I run the Linux Deluge.But what I want is for the Windows side to function normally while altering the Ubunutu instance of Deluge to use the %APPDATA%delugestate directory on the windows partition instead of it's default~/.config/deluge/stateSuch that when I add torrents in Ubuntu (primary OS) and switch to Windows, Deluge will be productively downloading/seeding while I'm wasting my life with Starcraft.Possible
I've had it for about 2 months and I know some of the complicated things. I was wondering how I would make Ubuntu 10.10 ask for the root password when ever looking at a folder, picture, mp3 file, etc. Is this possible
I have one computer with windows and one with ubuntu. I have an external drive (FAT32) with files taken from an NTFS (mp3s and such) and I would like to put them and use them on an ext4 ubuntu platform. Can I make a partition of the /home folder NTFS and the system ext4 and function properly? I do have configuration files in the /home folder since Im building a domain controller that utilizes samba on ubuntu: would I be better off using a dual boot with windows/ubuntu and placing the files on the Windows partition? what is my best option?>
I want to make it now because it is still under the size of a dvd 3.7GB and i want to put it safe on a dvd to restore fast and not have to customize anything in case of a disaster , like me running dd again )
