Ubuntu Multimedia :: ISO Images Playing Faster Than Normal
Nov 20, 2010
I have a Sony Bravia TV (ex700) that has DNLA support (spotty at that from what i've read). What i'm wanting, is the ability for a DNLA type device to stream my ISO images (dvd images).So far I've tried Mythbuntu and have had some issues with it. Biggest issue is that the DNLA server does not show up on my sony. Other issues are around iso images playing faster than normal (through the host, not DNLA).
I've also tried minidlna but there appears to be no support for ISO files.At this time, all i want is a linux based DNLA server that supports ISO files.

i have no problem. But with user2, when i start to read a video file, i have no image, just a black screen.The sound is ok, the time is running normally, but no image. *It tested with vlc and gnome-media-player, it is the same. *I have no error message, when I start the program in a console. *I suspected a permission problem, and i checked all the groups, but i don't see any difference between user1 and user2.

I am a GNOME user but because of the release of GNOME 3 i decided that i may have to start using KDE. So i installed KDE 4.6 from the qt-kde debian repository. It works more or less OK but i have a problem with the performance. It just doesn't feel as snappy as GNOME. For example if i have minimized Firefox when i maximize it it takes about a second for the window to draw and until then i just see and empty window. Or when i open nautilus it too takes a little to open and draw the window. Overall KDE seems a little unresponsive. Is this normal? And second, from time to time there seems to be huge performance issues - KDE suddenly becomes very slow - programs take a while to open, and the windows draw even slowlier than what i described previously. Also whenever there is a slowdown (like for example when i start a program) i hear some kind of scratching noises from a my laptop - like there is a heavy hard disk activity. I've heard that kind of noises before when doing something very demanding like compiling or archiving something.
Is there any way to make KDE more responsive and faster. I have disabled strigi and nepomuk.
I am running KDE on Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.39-1-amd64 and NVidia driver 270.41.19 on a Thinkpad T61 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m and 4GB of Ram.

I'm trying to record video off my webcam, and tried two different programs - cheese and wxcam.
I honestly didn't have much luck with cheese - it seemed to work fine, but when it came time to record video, the frame rate dropped to a ridiculous level, making the video completely unusable. I could wave my arm in front of the camera, and it might pick up one frame of that.
Moving on, I tried wxcam, which I like a lot.. however, when I record video with the xvid compression, they play back considerably faster than they were recorded.

I am configuring an ubuntu system for a friend of mine, he is Arab and he used to watch (with windows) the films on this site: [url]
I tried to open the site with firefox but I cannot see the image on that page, I see the cursor changing shape and clicking with right button in the properties I see they are gif images, furthermore clicking on the (not displayed) images should open a link to the film but instead a blank page opens with error.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with an NVIDIA GeForce 6100 video adapter and my monitor seems to flicker whenever the the computer is processing. My system is up to date and I did install the recommended NVIDIA driver. The monitor isn't going blank or anything like that, it just seems like every once in a while different images will pop up for less than a second. Any ideas as to what the problem might be? I've attached a copy of the xorg.conf file as well:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
[Code]...

I am running Linux from a DVD, not installed. I am not good with installing software, but since the DVD cannot be corrupted, I am content to operate this way. Lately, I have been having problems that previously did not occur. When I try to click on the checkbox to get rid of emails, it doesn't register in most cases, or when it does, I am clicking multiple times so it registers twice, meaning it is unchecked again. Even more frustrating is some issues that are affecting my ability to update my business. I am trying to modify spreadsheets (text not calculations).
Whenever I try to click & drag to select something to change, it keeps jumping around to select only some of what I want, something else or some combination of the 2. When I try to copy and paste several fields from 1 column to another, everything from the several fields in the source column ends up together in the last field in the target column. I am also trying to download some images from a website. There is a single column of links to the images. I have to click on the link to get to the image in order to copy it, then back out to continue looking for more links to do the same.
My computer keeps jumping back 2 steps, then forward 2 steps, and sometimes I lose my place in that list. I could deal with it if it were a small number of links, but this is a list of probably close to 20,000 links. Again, i am operating off of a live DVD so this should not be corruptible, but this has just started happening, and has been an issue the last several sessions.

I know that this has probably been around these forms, but still. I recently stumbled upon one .mkv file and I wasn't able to play it in Ubuntu. I'm still not able. Looking at the forums around I see that many folks are able to play .mkv files with ease just running VLC player. So I'm quite confused that I'm not able to. So far I haven't had any problems with neither audio, nor video files in Ubuntu. Anyway, here's what I use: VLC version 1.0.2
(I saw that some folks have been compiling VLC, incluiding specifically the .mkv support, but that was two years ago. Now VLC should support it out of the box...)
And I should have .mkv support in the version of VLC that I have:
$ vlc --list | grep Matroska
VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye
mkv Matroska-Stream-Demuxer
When I try to open the .mkv vile in VLC nothing happens. No errors, nothing. And off course neither video, nor audio.

Is there a Linux app for mounting and playing audio CDs from image files? I have saved disc images of nearly all of my CD collection, but I have yet to find any convenient way to play them.
Because of the nature of CD audio, every CD image has an accompanying .cue file, so there are actually 2 files (*.iso or *.bin and *.cue) from each disc. VLC Media Player will play DVD .iso images directly, but doesn't know what to do with audio CD images (or the .cue files).
Mounting and unmounting the images at the command line is tedious, given the very long file paths. I'd rather have a GUI-based app. Does any such thing exist for Linux?
FWIW, Acetone ISO doesn't work. It doesn't want to mount my *.iso format CD images. Probably some funkiness of the CD audio format. I think it is what the Acetone devs call a "multi-sector image." Likewise for the *.bin images of CDs.

So I don't use gnome, KDE, or XFCE, but I'm running Xubuntu. I'm constantly playing music via nvlc. While that music's still playing, I'd like to be able to hear a sound I run from the command line via
Code:
cvlc beep.mp3
I've tried on and off over the years messing with pulse, esd, etc. output options for vlc, but never figured out exactly how to do this. In Windows, having a batchfile play a .wav at the same time as an mp3 player is playing music "just works" I know there must be a "just works" solution for Linux.

I bought an LG external cd/dvd unit (model: GP08 ).
The problem is that I have no sound when playing DVDs. Everything else works fine. I installed libdvdcss (followed this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ts/PlayingDVDs) but still no sound on DVDs (the DVD works fine on a windows machine).
I have an Acer Aspire One with Karmic Koala.

My newly installed (but not new) DVD drive seems to play some movies some days, but others all the time. I'm pretty sure it's just a little picky about scratches. I can hear it in the drive; when I insert the disk, I can tell when it isn't spinning. When it does start spinning, that's when the Media options window pops up asking me what I want to do with the disk.

Using Kubuntu 11.04, I have all of my movies and music on a NAS, everytime I wish to play something (I have a computer hooked up to my tv this is how I play all media) KDE decides it needs to copy it to a tmp file first, I was unable to find a setting to turn this off and allow the file to simply play straight from the network drive as it did in M$ Windblows probably a dumb question.

I can't get my sisters Ubuntu to play some movies off DVD. I google searched for how to play dvds on ubuntu, and a site says basically "just install Totem" and the dvdlib3 (it already has dvdlib4 installed) so I went ahead and installed totem.I launched totem, but there is no option for opening a DVD, there's only Open File. which would mean I'd have to open the vob files, which are very confusing to navigate.
I tried VLC and VLC couldn't run it, so I tried VLC(Windows32 under Wine) and although it worked in the past, it couldn't read the movie either(the movie is Casino Royale and I watched it just fine on my Windows machineis there an easy method to just install some proprietary software that can play movies with a single click? like with the package manager perhaps? I couldn't figure anything out. It seems like Ubuntu should come pre-ready for DVDs and I don't understand why it isn't.

I just burned a copy of a DVD.
Great. Now, will I be filling up my hard drive every time I do this? Where does Brasero keep the images that it makes of DVD's and CD's when it copies?
I would like to delete them, after I copy an image...

I'm trying to setup MythTV, but whenever I do so, I get no text on the X window setup screen. The language selection takes a very long time (input is super delayed) and I don't see anything on the screen. This last time I ran it it went the farthest it has gone before, but it always hangs at the theme file selection, as shown by this Terminal output.
Code:
Loading window theme from /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/Terra/menu-ui.xml
Loading menu theme from /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu//mainmenu.xml

I have a bunch of images I took of the same thing, but I was holding the camera, so each one moves a little bit. Is there some way to crop the images so that the focal point doesn't move between pictures?I've done some searching but I haven't had much luck finding anything.

I've been using GIMP's 'save for the web' tool to reduce the file sizes of images.
I now have a directory with about 50 images. I'd like to avoid processing them all by hand.
I have a (very) basic knowledge of programming, and I'm comfortable with the commandline. I don't mind doing some homework on how to use new tools.
All I'm really concerned with here is reducing the file sizes of the images I have.
What possible pathways are there for me to prepare large amounts of images for the web?

I have a very big image directory: One image per minute, whole a year, captured from a webcam. Now I want to make a video (15 or 24FPS) with all the webcam captures, to see how it changed during this period. I've tried automotion, but it makes a very low quality video, besides it blocks with lots of images. I've also tried dvd-slideshow, but it's not possible to make a more-than-1FPS video.
I also need to change the date in each webcam's images, because they are wrong, so it needed to overlay a little layout with the right date for each image, is that possible to manage within some application? Preferibly shell applications which supports lots of Gb of information (anyway I always could make little videos and then glue them)

I am burning DVD iso's and they seem to work great I have video output and sound output however as the film goes on the audio gradually becomes more out of sync but if I hit the rewind button on my remote and then play the sound is in sync again for a few minuets. I am using DeVeDe and Gnome Baker to create and burn my iso images to disc and they work great on the computer but not so great on my dvd players I am burning onto Verbatim DVD-R using Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx.

I know that ImageMagick's convert program can be used as follows to convert a collection of images -- say, in PNG format -- to a PDF file:
convert *png output.pdf
The problem with this is that each image is then stretched to fit on one page, whereas I would like to keep the original dimensions of the images and put as many as possible on one page in the PDF file before moving on to another page.

I have a laptop DELL Latitude D600. The sounds works great and I can control it with the laptop buttons (increase/decrease/mute volume).
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. In prior versions, I could control independently the volume for the speakers and for the headphones. And I was able to "join" them together so that when I increase the volume, it increases in both.
Now in 10.04 I can't find where to join them. But that's fine. The problem I have now is that the volume for the headphones seems to be a 10x multiplier of the "master" volume. For example, in order to hear "normal" on the headphones, the master volume has to be almost on mute. If I increase to 1/4 of the way out, the sound is too loud for a human being.
I went to alsamixer to see what's going on and started with everything at 0.
So I put my mouse on top of the volume control on the taskbar and with one "click" on the wheel (to increase volume) I get this code...
That's just one 'click' of the wheel... and the volume control shows almost nothing on the volume bar (the tooltip says Output: 5% -75.70 dB.
In the past the 5% gain in the output was proportional for the headphones. But now it's multiplied by a lot. This makes the volume control useless when using headphones. I have to go to alsamixer to adjust manually.
And to top it off, the new Ubuntu doesn't have the "old" volume control where you can see the level of each output element.
