Gnome does not see .png files and most all games commercial or free using .png for the icons.Is there a way for me to fix this, is this normal behavior now for gnome?Is there a way for me to convert all these .png icons to svg? This is a last resort as doing them individually would be a nightmare.Ok, you can remove this thread if you like mods.... I apparently am a bit slow... o.OIn gnome's icon selector just browse to the directory where the icon should be. You will not see any icons. Just click on the open button at the bottom. A new screen opens up and it shows the icons that you can select and use.

I have few thousands of icons from my OS/2 PC and I would like to convert them to format acceptable by LINUX GUI (*.png, *.xpm).I attempted to open an OS/2 *.ico files with few LINUx graphical apps (GIMP,Fspot, gThumb,Gwenview,Kolourpaint,Okular) but none can understand the format. It's somewhat problematic for me
to convert under OS/2 now so I'm looking for a LINUX app.Are there any LINUX apps that can convert OS/2 *.ico files to a LINUX format in BATCH MODE? If it requires manually "open then save-as", I can't repeat it few thousands of times.
I have tried to convert movie files like I used to on Windows with AnyVideoConverter... I installed WINFF, but it doesnt seem to work with anything. When trying to convert a .mov file, it does something on the terminal and it gives this: Unknow encoder -libxvid- ... and then nothing.

My granddaughter has found them and finds them fantastically entertaining but VHS isn't exactly hardy for a 4 year old to handle. I'm looking to convert them to DVD for both backup and space savings. Cinderella has already bit the dust and I'm paying dearly for it. I have done some research and every bit of information assumes that I would have an idea of what I'm doing.
I do own a DVR but most of them won't copy for copy protect reasons. As far as I can tell the only way I can convert them is by going from analog VHS to digital DVD. Now, I have no clue how to do this nor what hardware I would need if any to do this.
I'm trying to make a copy of my Blu-Ray movies on DVD-R so I can play them on my DVD player. The movies have been ripped to my HDD and the HD audio extracted. So I'm left with one video stream and one audio stream (either DTS or AC3) in a single m2ts file. I've tried to use mencoder with the same command that I use to convert DVB HD broadcasts to DVD compliant mpeg files as so:
Code:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf -vf scale=720:576,harddup -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=4500:keyint=15:vstrict=0:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 -o newfile.mpg 00520.m2ts
[Code]...
Is there something wrong with my mencoder command, or is there perhaps a better way of attacking this. I've spent a fair bit of time looking for a solution to this and there seems to very little information around. I would have thought this would be quite a common thing to try and do?

Ubuntu 10.4
I have several files (DVDs, flv, mpeg, mp4...) that I'd like to watch on my Android phone (HTC Tattoo) that supports H264 and my other phone that supports 3GP.
INstalled Handbrake - does not have a 3GP option; mp4 will play audio but not video on Tattoo.
Installed Transmageddon - complains that cannot find the plugin although I click OK on download
Installed WinFF - complains no encoder.
I'm missing something from my packages but what? And where to get it?
I have a video on DVD disk. It is split into 4 parts with file extension VOB. The total time is ~90 mins. In the fourth part I need just the 4:53 first minutes.
I would like to append the 3 parts and the 4:53 first minutes of the fourth part together without lessening the quality and to convert them into AVI.
How can I do it?
I'm trying to convert a screencast of RecordMyDesktop, from .ogv to .avi. I want to upload this video to ....., but the problem that i found is: When the convertion with mencoder is finished; the video resultant is longer that the original, the original video has 13:01 min and the converted video have 39:00, in wich only up to the minute 13:01 is reproducible. And when I use Arista Transcoder, and convert the video to mp4 for example. The video resultant is normal, but when it's uploaded to , in the sound is ruined.

It takes avi but it does not say what kind. Doing it through vlc would be favorite because ffmepg looks really complicated. But I'll have a go with ffmepg (or whatever) if I'm advised to do it.

I'm tyring to convert the 3gp format that my droid likes to avi format which is more recognizable (like on my xbmc black xbox) I'm doing this conversion using memcoder and this script I wrote.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
_Working()
{
_INPUTFILE=$file
[Code].....
And that makes for low quality and skipping up movies. basically I want to take the 3gp and convert to avi with leaving as much of the playback alone as possible. What is a better way to convert these files? How can I prevent these skipped frames? What would be the memcoder switches line to retain as much quality as possible while converting the files to avi?
We have an analog tv (no plans to buy digital) which I'm planning to connect to an old laptop so we can watch online tv. The tv has rca input ports for audio l/r and video, and also has scart of course. The laptop has both vga (not really relevant) and mini-dvi outputs plus, of course, audio line-out.I have seen that I can get a mini-dvi to rca converter. The strange thing in this connection is that the converter has three rca plugs, which colour match audio l/r and video but I thought that dvi was purely video and not audio/video.
However, I have heard that rca inputs tend to give a poor quality picture - not that we're so choosy when it comes to tv, vcr quality is quite good enough - and I have seen that there is an rca to scart converter also. Would this be a better alternative or is it a case of the weakest link determining picture quality?So basically I have three questions:
1. Does mini-dvi include audio?
2. Should I just buy the mini-dvi to rca converter or the rca to scart converter also?
3. Is there a direct mini-dvi to scart converter available that I haven't found yet?
One of the laptops that I could use runs Ubuntu 9-10. It's and old Dell that sits in a docking station. The other one is a MacBook Pro. I assume, however, that the mini-dvi output will be the same pinwise from either machine. Come to think of it, I also have an old tower model, also running Ubuntu 9-10 that has a mini-dvi output.
I've got a bunch of HD files in .mkv format that I want to convert to a format that the 360 will read (currently just trying .avi files) so I can stream the media to my xbox360. I'd rather avoid transcoding the entire file, so I tried unpacking the .mkv file into audio and video (and subtitle if necessary) and repacking said file into avi using ffmpeg. The repacking is where I am having the problem. Here's the commands I tried at first (it might look familiar):
Code:
mkvextract tracks file.mkv 1:temp_video.avi 2:temp_audio.ogg 3:temp_sub.srt
ffmpeg -i temp_video.avi -i temp_audio.ogg -vcodec copy file.avi
However, I keep getting this annoying error:
Code:
Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height Where stream #0.1 is the output audio stream to the .avi file. I think I have narrowed it down to the fact that the input streams are all 6 channel (5.1 surround sound) which mp2 doesn't support (the ffmpeg audio default) so I did this instead:
Code:
ffmpeg -i temp_video.avi -i temp_audio.ogg -vcodec copy -acodec libmp3lame file.avi
I'm still getting the same error, but when I use
Code:
ffmpeg -i temp_video.avi -i temp_audio.ogg -vcodec copy -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 file.avi
to change the sound to stereo it works. Problem is I'd like to keep my media in surround sound. Any thoughts on how to get all 6 channels in the new mp3 file? I'm fairly certain that mp3s support 5.1. And after some messing around, I haven't found that my ffmpeg can transcode audio format from 5.1 back to 5.1. So since (I think) the 360 can play .ac3 files I decided to just copy both the video and audio file to the .avi file sans transcoding using
Code:
ffmpeg -i temp_video.avi -i temp_audio.ogg -vcodec copy -acodec copy file.avi
however now about halfway through, I run into this error:
Code:
NULL @ 0x22f3a00]error, non monotone timestamps 62562 >= 62562
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Error while opening file I can't seem to find any solution to this problem anywhere online, does anyone know how to get around this? I'd prefer to use ffmpeg for this if possible. (so I can write a script and just attack an entire directory at once) For what it's worth, I'm using the latest ffmpeg in the ubuntu (karmic) default repositories.
I am taking a Geology class this semester and we were assigned a CD that has an interactive program on it. I didn't like the access speed- especially when the narrator was supposed to talk. The DVD/CDRW drive had to spin up and... then the narrator spoke.I'm wondering if I can create an ISO image of that CD and then transfer it to a SD card so it's less noisy and less pokey than a CD.I only have Brasero at this point so I don't know if that program will be enough
