I have seen with interest TV adverts that feature, for example, a person that move his hands for example, and corresponding objects on the screen move. He coould for example be say, "call us on 1234" and as he says that, he is like typing on the screen and the numbers 1234 appear...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a DVD that'll play on my stand alone DVD player. I import and edit the video using Kino and then export in an MPEG format. Fool that I am....I then waste hours and hours of time trying to create a DVD using Qdvdauthor. Then I click Create DVD and what does it do? It creates a bunch of useless files that when burned into a DVD produce a piece of junk.
Does anyone know exactly how to make a working video DVD on Ubuntu? unless you know exactly how to solve this problem don't send a bunch of links. I'm tired of reading the same regurgatated "how tos" that don't work.
I have a server that delivers media via HTTP (or FTP). If I click on a link, it downloads to /tmp and then plays in vlc, but what I want is for it to run vlc and give it the URL so that it will play it as a stream. I am generating the HTML and I'm using thttpd for the server. If I do it manually (Copy Link Location, paste into vlc) it works fine, but I'd like click-and-play. I've Googled for hours and can't even see the topic addressed. This is possible, right?

No linux sound drivers on Asus' site. No ubuntu 9.10 drivers on VIA site. Low sound with default drivers. I've edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with options snd-hda-intel model=3stack, but no luck. I actually had to do a sudo sh then edit it that way with vi because it was read only. Didn't do anything.
I have used automated DVD-RAM-discs for backup at work a lot and I think they are perfect for that task.
At home I'm using Ubuntu Lucid exclusively and I haven't been able yet to use DVD-Ram media in any userfriendly fashion yet. The only documentaion I found seems to be very much out of date.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find a multimedia player that works well for me. With VLC, the screen with freeze up and then update itself later to the correct time but it changes to lots of strange colors. With Mplayer, the video will freeze and then catch up later, like VLC does. With Totem, I can't seem to get the subtitles to work correctly. It replaces the subtitles with a font of it's own. I always used Media Player Classic on Windows and it worked really well. When I say "freeze up and catch up later" I mean that the video and subtitles will freeze, but the sound will keep going. The video and subtitles correct themselves a few seconds later.
1. Is there a way to make it so VLC doesn't freeze up and catch up later with strange colors?
2. A way to make VLC and Mplayer not freeze and catch up later?
3. Get Totem to display the correct subtitle font?
I cannot seem to make the two work together. I try to config Amarok and change the media devices, however, there is no option called "media devices."
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for a while now and come up empty handed, but after some research on the history of digital camouflage and how it was created I was able to devise a simple method for creating at least a close approximation of the real thing.
Step 1: start with a picture of the "texture" you intend to use. it doesn't matter if it's a low resolution picture because you are going to intentionally pixelate it
Step 2: use the noise plugin "pick" and create some static in the picture. I've found that you can just set everything to maximum and apply the pick with good results.
Step 3: (optional) if you want this to be a repeating pattern, at this time apply the "make seamless" tool under Map plugins.
Step 4: Apply a pixel blur. dial it in just to where you start to see hard pixel edges forming. In most digital camo patterns, the pixels are taller than they are wide, about a 3:2 ratio
Step 5: Choose the number of colors you want in your camo pattern. Virtually all digital patterns are either three or four colors, but never any more than that. Change the image mode from RGB to 4 color indexed. Then you can change it back to RGB if you wish to change the colors in your camo.
you can play with the settings on each step to dial in something that looks proper. The proper scale for your camo is roughly 1/4" tall pixels. Try playing with different textures, or even non digital camo prints. In about two minutes we've just created both a woodland and a desert digital print that is close enough to pass for MARPAT using free software.

Would you export the presentation to flash (.swf file), then import it in a video editor (if so. which one?)?
Or would you rather export slides to individual pictures and import them one by one to a video editor (again, which one?)?

So I've seen all the buzz about the new libimobiledevice supporting iphone well enough to get it working with rhytmbox "out of the box".
I've achieved photo sync, internet tethering, and ssh access, but I don't know about music access.. there doesn't seem to be anything happening between rhythmbox and the iphone.
Rhythmbox regocnizes the phone and plays the music on it... but I can't seem to make any changes to that music.
The phone occasionally says "sync in progress" but I haven't pushed any "sync" button as there doesn't seem to be any or any settings for automatic syncing...
This nvidia driver is driving me nuts... I have tried everything I can think of including multiple solutions from threads.
I have a GeForce FX5200 with the nvidia-current drivers installed. On boot I receive the following error messages... code...
If I try and open the nvidia server settings I get the following message.
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
In Jockey I get:
The driver is activated but not currently in use.
I am using headers 2.6.32-23 and have updated to grub2 (something that seems to have fixed a mismatched header issue for others). I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, edited the xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig as well as manually and I don't know what else to do... any suggestions would be appreciated... 640x480 is crap.
I am trying to setup a complex audio system, but I won't bore you with the details (unless you ask). Basically, I want to have pulseaudio only use one specific device and ignore the rest of the devices.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just installed 10.04 on my mothers PC. I prefer to use Xine as the DVD player, sound works, playback is smooth, and, most importantly, because menus work, making it easier for her to use. I have tried setting the DVD preference as xine with custom command but instead nautilus opens the dvd as folder. It almost worked in 9.10 (a bunch of error messages pop up sometimes "the source can't be read you don't have rights etc....) and worked perfectly before that. The error messages in 9.10 only pop up when DVD autoplays I've just had a thought that this might be because she is not administrator? (can't get to her PC at moment)
View 2 Replies View RelatedDue to some foolishness on my part I have needed to reinstall UT GOTY on my Ubuntu Karmic PC. I have run the loki installer fine and the game runs but every time I load it up I am back to Player as my name and the default video settings. For some reason my changes are not being saved.
The loki readme states that a .loki/ut folder is set up in the ?home folder and this is where all the config is stored. There isnt one shown in Nautilus BUT if i try to create one it says it is already in use. So I had a look through the CLI and got this:
Code:
saric@saric-desktop:~/.loki/ut$ ls
install_dir System
Not sure what this means.
I did note during the install that the shell kept saying it couldnt create the .loki/ut directory but it seems to be there. Can anyone shed some light on how to get my preferences to stick. I have a hankering for some fragging.
