i am trying to export a video from pitivi in a format that can be uploaded to videos. i found this thread which suggests using an flv muxer with the l.a.m.e. mp3 encoder. my problem is that my pitivi doesn't list lame as an option, and i haven't been able to get it in.
i have tried reinstalling lame from the repositories, and also building lame, ffmpeg, gstreamer, faac, x264 and pitivi from the latest source. i simply can't get a video format to export that works in videos. mp4 and other format exports don't seem to work at all, they get stuck on the first frame.
pitivi can export ogg video perfectly, however if i try to upload that to videos it comes out with bad video. i've tried converting the ogg video to avi with mencoder, but it drops a lot of frames and ends up with the audio badly out of sync. i've run out of ideas to try -- anyone been through this before, or know of something i may be doing wrong? i'm certainly no expert in building from source (or anything!), it just seemed like something to try...
i have a bunch of shorten files i want to play from the command line and ffplay will play them one at a time but i want to play them one after the other (the whole album)does not work i must have forgotten something as it plays one track then stops.

I installed xubuntu8.04 on my laptop(no other system),but when i started the system,there came out a grub and showed "press ESC to enter the menu"
I think this is a waste of time since i have only xubuntu on my lap, why do not just get in directly? why need a grub?i do not need so can i do something to shorten the start time? ( i know the menu is revovery option) by the way i can not mount my usb hard disk, the error shows:
my computer have windows 7 and also a ubuntu in it (i started with version 10.04). i've just updated my ubuntu and i found that the list in the grub menu got longer by 2.and i feel its a long list....
so how do i shorten the list... i'll be ok if i just have the latest Linux and its recovery mode. than memtest86 and the other and last Windows 7... i dont need the old ubuntu in the list.... its redundant.... i have startup-manager installed but does not do what i wanted...
When working on a rails app I like to open all of my files through the command line like so
CD my_app
gedit app/views/user/show.HTML.erb
Is there a way that I could shorten this so that I could just write something like
gedit user_views/show.HTML.erb
I would like the console to stay in the main directory, I just don't like having to type out app/controller/user_controler.rb every time I want to open the user controller. I know that I could just open the file with my mouse, but I feel like moving from keyboard to mouse breaks my focus a little bit. When I can just tap away at the keyboard it seems like I have a more smooth workflow.
If i am using a terminal window (shell) and I am on a deep point of a folder tree it becomes difficult to read what i write, as well as the entire content of the window.Is there a way to shorten the name of the current path in a shell / terminal?I know that aliases can be used for commands, does it exist anything similar for paths?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?
Notifications that popup in Ubuntu (e.g., for downloading items in firefox or Network configuration stuff) display a rectangular black box in the upper right corner of my Desktop. It often covers up items I need to access like logout items or links to my Account etc in a webpage I'm in. I often find myself having to wait for the Ubuntu dialog box to disappear before I can access whatever it is covering up.Is there a way to make these dialog boxes appear in the LOWER right corner instead? Also is there a way to shorten the amount of time that these notifications display before disappearing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit, I can no longer rip CDs to MP3 format. I can play MP3 files on the computer just fine. And this isn't limited to a single application.I normally use Sound Juicer to rip my CDs. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Format, the drop down menu no longer lists MP3 as an output option; however, if I click on the "Edit Profiles" button, there is a "CD Quality, MP3" option and it is set to active.
I'm having the same problem with Rhythmbox. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Music, the "Preferred format" box is empty, the dropdown menu is grayed out, and clicking the "Edit" box only shows the same sound profiles as Sound Juicer with no way to make one enabled (yet they are marked as active).
Alright, I got a pair of darn nice stereo headphones over the past month and I'd like to maximize their use with the best audio format possible on my Ubuntu computers. I have a pretty extensive music collection but now going from using Itunes, Winamp, Banshee, etc formats seem to be getting pretty extensive. I want to know what the BEST overall quality audio format is. I'm only talking about simple listening, not editing, if it makes a difference.
I don't care what the size of the song comes out to here. If a 5 minute song ends up being 25mb, so be it. And what is your reason behind your choice, short and sweet.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do you erase/format a Data DVD+RW? I had originally burned some folders aka data onto a DVD+RW disc using Brasereo. The burned worked fine but now when I try to burn someone else on it, it won't let me. I tried using the "Blanking" option but all it does is make a burning sound and doesn't stop. Once it tries to blank the disc I can't stop the process except by pressing the power button on my computer. The DVD+RW is not corrupt because I can still read from it and copy working data on it. I'm not sure on what to do. I have already tried K3B but that doesn't work.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDesired features:
1. Does not support DRM.
2. As lossless as possible.
3. Plays on Android devices including Xoom and Nexus One.
4. Supported by most major players.
5. If the best format is a bit lossy, then it has to be something I can get from most media stores.
