xine-ui: setting path to xine before installing xine-ui
by Adagilson B B da Silva 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

I am trying to install Xinge-ui (xine-ui-0.9.13.tar.gz) and I just installed Xine-lib (xine-lib-0.9.13.tar.gz). I was at http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-3.html#ss3.1 ..and it says to me: "IMPORTANT! Before you can compile xine-ui, you may need to inform your system of the location of the xine libraries, you may need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory you installed the xine library and/or run the ldconfig program. For example, if you had installed xine-lib to /usr/local, you may need to enter the following command before compiling xine-ui. $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH But I don't know where Xine-lib was installed, so I can't set the path. Some idea? (it's not in /usr/local/ or /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/man, according INSTALL file) "By default, `make install' will install the package's files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. " thanks a. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524

no video with kwintv
by babu walad 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

Folks, I installed my ATI TV Wonder PCI card under SuSE 8.0 and ran through the kwintv configuration. It found all the channels and I finished configuration. The problem is when I run kwintv I get audio but not video. The screen is just black. My video card most definitely supports overlays. Any idea how to go about fixing this? Thanks, Babu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site http://webhosting.yahoo.com/

Next best VIVO card?
by Pieter Hulshoff 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hello all, As the ATI Radeon 8500 AIW seems to be almost impossible to get here in the Netherlands, I was wondering what card would be next in line to be used for a multi-media computer. Tuner isn't truly needed, but VIVO would be nice, and hardware mpeg2 encoding wouldn't be too bad either. Any suggestions? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

Making Svcd
by Glenn Pedersen 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hi all, I have just recently purchased a firewire card and digital video camera. I have been able to transfer video from the camera to the computer using dvgrab (on the suse cds). This make HUGE files approx 1 Gig for 5 mins of video :) in dv format. I then use Mainactor (on the suse cds) to open the dv file and then export it as mpeg1. I then use vcdimager to create vcds and use arson to burn them. What I would now like to do is create Svcd rather than Vcd. Does anyone here know how I would be able to do that and what software I would require? I guess I would need something to convert the dv to mpeg2? Btw I am using Suse 8.0 Pro. Thanks Glenn -- To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy.

Playing Audio CD's
by Jason Farmer 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Hi everyone, This might sound silly, But I can't play Audio CDs with my CD Writer. But I can mount the drive and read data from it. This only happened when I installed SuSE 8.0, My 7.1 worked fine with Audio CDs. Windows can play them no problem so it's not a hardware issue. When I attempt to play a CD using anything it says Disk ejected. When I attempt to mount the drive, it says: /dev/cdrecorder: Input/output error mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified The contents of my FSTab file is: /dev/hdb3 / reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/ls120 vfat noauto,user 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Jason
