Ubuntu Multimedia :: K9Copy Eats Up CPU And Crashes 10.10?
Apr 9, 2011
If I use K9Copy to compress a 6.4 gb DVD to a 4.4gb ISO files, it heats up the CPU and the machine shuts off. When I do this with system monitor ON, I see 160% to 180% CPU usage. I guess this is due to dual core on my Gateway laptop.Then I installed DVD Shrink and tried the same by running DVD Shrink using Wine. This caused the same problem.I did not have this issue when I was using Windows Vista. Is there anything that I can do to avoid this problem?
I had some problems upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10, and I had to select the "safe mode" equivalent option in the grub loader to boot, or else my system would hang at the screen with the dots before the login prompt. I restored the packages and now my system works. I am not sure if this is relevant to my problem.
K9Copy worked fine prior to upgrading to 10.10, now it crashes as soon as I load it. I have searched but found nothing relevant to my problem.
I'm attempting to rip a DVD made by a friend, and I am using k9copy with minimal success. I am attempting to rip to .avi, but every time I start the backup, my DVD drive shuts off at 64%. I get this issue: Code: Executable: k9copy PID: 6563 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)I have had a few issues with the drive before, but nothing this consistent. I'm running k9copy 2.3.5 and 10.10 maverick.
I'm on 9.10 and I use huludesktop often to watch my Hulu queue. Every once in a while (and more so lately) the video freeze and the sound stutters. I then find that pulseaudio is taking 100% of a CPU (I have a quad core AMD 64bit machine). Killing pulseaudio causes huludesktop to continue without sound and a new pulseaudio starts up. I have to kill huludesktop and resume playback and then everything's OK, until it happens again.
I have made the jump to Ubuntu, I have installed 10.10 on a Dell Precision 360, I have sound on VLC player, internet radio, but when I want to preview in K9copy I see the Video but hear no sound.
This may also be the issue with dvdshrink under wine, which loops fo about second or 2
I dual boot between Windozs XP professional and Ubuntu
I am using k9copy to extract the five titles in a DVD ISO-image to separate avi-files. I selected the copy option for both audio and video, and made sure all the tracks were selected. The resulting avi's played without sound in Totem. VLC gave an error message that audio format " []" was not supported.
I then did the extract again, selecting aac for the audio processing. The result was the same.
Again, with mp2, the same result.
The DVD contains audio in "mp2 2ch 48KHz 20bps" format (information shown by k9copy).
When I play the video from the ISO, using VLC, sound is ok.
How can I get k9copy to extract the video with sound?
I'm trying to use K9copy in Ubuntu 10:10 to shrink some videos from a straight iso copy down to a 800MB avi file. The video seems to copy fine and the picture looks fine but when I try play it in VLC theres no sound.
Is there something I'm missing? And yes I played the ISO in VLC and had it play with sound fine.
I want to copy one track/chapter from a DVD to an AVI file, but the sound is not copied only the video. I
- selected track/chapter by clicking checkbox - selected 'MPEG-4 encoding' for output - used default settings (codecs were 'copy' for video and audio) - clicked DVD copy action
Result:
1. Movie Player: no sound 2. VLC: Error message 'No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format How can I get sound and video?
P.S. Using k9copy version 2.3.5. I tried all audio codecs available in the k9copy Audio tab. They failed in the same way as before. The chapter list contains 'audio 1 Unknown pcm 2ch 48kHz 16bps'. I don't know how to interpret that. Also installed and tried AcidRip and Dvd:rip. Sound worked fine for both. AcidRip did not show any audio settings. Dvd:rip showed:
I have just installed Lucid Lynx but cannot get K9copy to work at all. It loads, but closes as soon as I try to open the dvd. Anyone else getting similar problems, or, more to the point, does anyone know how to fix it?
I have a problem with K9Copy's back up system it cannot seem to shrink a DVD9 down to 4.7gb to fit on a standard 4.7gb DVD Disk, how to correct this? As it renders K9copy totally pointless for me.
I finally got K9copy to work and I'm using it to extract DVDs to my hard drive. I extract a dual layer DVDs it becomes a 5GB DVD. In the settings, I have DVD size as 9GB because I assumed this would not cause any compression. When I use k9copy assistant to change the shrink factor before ripping, I can only change the shrink factor of some titles to 1.67 from 2.50. I want the shrink factor to be 1 since this seems to ensure that the output of the file is the same size as the title on the dvd. I want the copied DVD to be the same size as the original. I have no problem with hard drive space since I have 6 terrabytes of free space.
Running Opensuse KDE 11.2 64bit. Trying to backup DVD, but no sound after playing ripped copy. After looking at the settings in K9copy and DVD95, the sound section says "Unknown AC3" where it normally says "English AC3". I've tried mencoder and ffmpeg.
I am having a great time very quickly migrating from Windows through Ubuntu.
One area that I am still having trouble in is transcoding VOB into DivX, XviD, AVI, etc. I have been succesful one time using k9copy and it made a great looking avi. Since that time I get a failure on the 2nd pass. It seems as if the problem is related to the line in the error log "requested bit rate too low". So I changed from filesize to bitrate selection in the wizard and set it at max (99999). This got it to start the 2nd pass but still ended up crashing about 3/4 of the way through with an unexpected error message. Undaunted i tried again with the same setup and options. This time I once again got the bitrate too low error on the 2nd pass.
I have tried other GUI apps like avidemux (sound out of sync with that one), WinFF (not merging the vob's together), and others without satisfactory results. It would be great if I could get k9copy to work as it did the first try as it did exactly what I am looking for.
I have mencoder and all the depedencies installed (I believe). I am running a quad core amd64 bit processor and ubuntu 10.04.
It is just puzzling to me that k9copy worked flawlessly the first time and now nothing but trouble.
These are VOB's that have been put together by IFOedit from files dmuxed by DVDdecryter (under wine) stripped of copy guard. I take the ac3 soundtrack and convert it into WAV so that i can add a commentary (rifftrax) in audacity, then convert that back into ac3 and combine it all together again. I have been doing this for some time in Windows, and can now do everything in Ubuntu except for the avi transcode (really bothersome to reboot into windows just to run DivX Pro converter).
I'm trying to copy DVD's to 700mb so that they will play in DIVX on my DVD player. I'm using K9Copy 2.3.5.I've set the options to:And also tried changing the codec to MPEG-4 (DIVX 4/5)But when I select the title I wish to copy, no MPEG-4 tabs appear at the bottom of K9Copy to adjust the settings for each chapter.This means that the avi file created is 3.2GB.
which is approximately HALF the space than actually needed. Is this increase due to ecryptfs? Also I noticed that the hidden folders are not shown. Are the hidden files within the shown folders included in this list? How do I show a summary which includes the hidden files?
No doubt Psychess is a very nice game for playing chess. I was playing this game often. But one thing I observed today is Psychess starts to eat 100% CPU right after the moment we start the game. I came to know about this after observing the "System Monitor" applet graph on the panel. This must not be normal because it's common sense when developer develops a software they always consider the CPU usage.. Even when I develop scripts I always give a sleep after heavy resource usage. For the record, I installed DreamChess and it works fine.
Hey when i am downloading any thing using firefox or torrent, the downloading application eats up all the bandwidth, meaning i cannot browse the web simultaneously downloading anything , even Gwibber does not get updated...
I have a powerful server with 24GB of ram and an Intel Xenon quad core processor that I'm using to run a bunch of virtual machines for an office on using VirtualBox. Lately there has been a problem though. If I run free this is what I get:
[Code]...
I have sysstat install so I ran sar -r on the command line and I found:
[Code]....
a little before 2:45 PM I had my RAM eaten. Going back through my brain I remember that at that time I ran the command VBoxManage clonehd XXXXX.vdi to clone one of my virtual hard drives. I tried this again to make sure that the VBoxManage clonehd command was really the thing that was eating my RAM and it was. My question is - how do I reclaim the RAM. When the process that ate all the ram finished (I think it's the VBoxSVC process) it just leaves me with all my RAM used. How do I free up the RAM without restarting the server?
I cant download k9copy :S I cant find it anywhere on the getdeb and the link to the getdeb k9copy page on the k9copy website just takes me to the welcome page.
I've install FC14 on my iMac 27" i7 and I'm having exactly the same issue I had with Ubuntu 10.10: acpid eats 90% of one Core all the time.With Ubuntu this issue was solved by updating but with FC14 no way, I can't find any solution.Right now I've turned off acpi and apm at boot time but this only let me use one of my four Cores.
Maybe it's specific feature, but it does not seem right that within ~30 m to 1h 3gb of disk space on /home are gone due to I can't tell what exactly. Usually it happens while listening to music via vlc or browsing www (chrome and firefox). I got 3gigs of ram (95% in use under such conditions), and 1,5gb of swap that is not used at all by the system.Its a KDE.
I just got a USB bluetooth adapter for my Laptop. I'm running Lenny with all the lateset updates, on and Ispiron 8600. I went through and made sure I installed all the Bluez stuff (as far as I can tell anyway). I'm trying to use it with my Droid Eris and while I have been able to successfully recieve files from the phone in Linux, I noticed it seems a little buggy and I think it ma have something to do with the logs. Below is a sample. As you can see, one line keeps repeating continuously. Given enough time, it will fill the entire /var partition. When I remove the Blutooth, it stops.
My ubuntu 32-bit 9.10 compiles kernel a few times, and now I realized my Win7 lines disappeared. First time when I made the dual boot system, I remember there is a line for Win7, and able to boot up Win7. And then I ran compilations 2 ~ 3 times, and now I see the lines gone. I know 'editing GRUB' is risky, and want to hear advice how to fix. - Actually I don't think I can edit grub.cfg file manually. In my Ubuntu Desktop menu, I still see and mount the Windows disk (physically different partition)
I'm running a pretty heavy-weight process (Rails tests) that involves several worker processes, in an effort to parallelize the runs. To measure the performance impacts, I run hdparm -T /dev/sda to give me the cached read performance. Note that the disk IO is not being measured, but the disk cache IO is. It works very well on my work machine (8-core Mac Pro running Ubuntu with 8GB of RAM).
The baseline is: honk4:~ $ sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 13224 MB in 2.00 seconds = 6616.86 MB/sec In the middle of the test run: honk4:~ $ sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda
I've tried pretty much every DVD ripping program available, DVD::Rip, DVD95converter, DVD Movie Backup. My favorite backup program is k9copy (easiest to use and has all the features I need). But no matter what I try, certain Disney movies just won't backup. Specifically, at the moment, many of the Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films.
After selecting the disc, the program either crashes out immediately, or it starts filling up the memory, slowing everything down, until finally it crashes. I thought updating to the newest version would maybe help (not even available through standard "Update Manager", had to find it myself), but the same problems occur. I'm currently trying with ddrescue, hoping that works. But I don't really like the idea of using a series of programs to get the output I want.
Is there a program that can backup, compress, and convert a Disney movie into a playable/burnable ISO file? Because these films are Japanese, I would definitely prefer something that can output normal switchable subtitles and audio (as opposed to an MPG or AVI that just has the one audio track).
/sbin/udevd --daemon eats about 10-15% of cpu which is quite high. I found out that it is caused by AHCI. If I turn it off in bios, udev takes only about 0-1% of cpu (which I consider normal). However turning AHCI off is deadly for Windows Vista (I have dual boot) - it always ends up with BSOD. Actually, I don't even know what AHCI does. Of course I found some information on the net but I didn't found whether there are some advantages for me. Is it worth 10-15% of cpu (consequently shorter battery life)? On the other hand, I have no interest in changing my bios settings every time I boot to Windows so it would be much confortable to have it turned on all the time. The best solution would be to find out why AHCI does this and how to configure udev to avoid it. And I don't know how.I have OpenSuse 11.2, kernel 2.6.31.12
I have a laptop configured with 2 partitions. The file ( Ubuntu ) partition which is about 30GB and a second 'data' partition of about 100 GB. On this data partition, I save all my digital photos ( about 20 GB ).When I installed Digikam, it seemed to compile its database on the smaller partition and left me with no space and error messages because of it.I managed to get rid of Digikam and regain space.Is there any way, I can re-install Digikam and stop it doing this ?
About 2 weeks ago I upgraded my Ubuntu OS from 8.04 to 8.10 and then to 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28 - 10 - Generic.Today I discovered K9Copy no longer works. When I start K9Copy it comes up ok but if I click on anything in the main window (file, copy, etc.) I get a message that says:A fatal error occured.The application K9Copy crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
