Somewhere in my memory is a program that will record what What I am after is that if I copy say 90 min of sound to say maybe 10 splitted wav tracks, I want to convert them all (all 10 in one directory) to 10 mp3 files in one command on the console. i am trying to write me sort of a mp3_2_wav script, but yet it does not work. so before i go like reinventing wheels here, has someone such a script (no x, just console script!) that maybe uses the mpq123 -w option? > I suppose that automatically identifying the pauses and separating the > numbers into individual files is possible with DAP, but I have not > investigated this.

Hello, Today the internet is becoming more and more Windows specific. The WMF streaming is becoming more and more popular and is forcing people to use Windows as operating system. In Belgium Governomental radios publish WMF for live broadcast. There is clearly a need to support this standard on Linux. Does anybody know of any initiative in this direction? Greetings, Luc

QuickCam Express USB in SuSE 7.3
by Scott Nichols 05 Apr '02

05 Apr '02

Hello, I hope that there is someone out here that can help me out with this situation. I will try to be as brief as possible and still give the details. I have a bttv card that works fine and is using /dev/video0. So I have a QuickCam Express USB and I want to set it up on /dev/video1. I load the module mod_quickcam that came with SuSE and I see in USBView that its installed and working fine. Then I use xawtv -c /dev/video1 and the screen opens I get this error in Term: This is xawtv-3.72, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.10-4GB) /dev/video1 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway config: invalid value for input: Television valid choices for "input": "Camera" ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=3,size=176x144): Invalid argument Now I have been told that is normal. but when xawtv starts I get a green window with a small line at the top that is video. I can run my hand over the cam and see it in this small line in xawtv. I look in xconsole and it tells me, repeated several times: error: quickcam: frame size is incorrect! This will repeat until I turn xawtv off. I have been everywhere looking for a answer for this and how to adjust the frame size to make this work but nothing. I have been in chat's and all over the web. I even emailed SuSE about it and no help. Does anybody have any idea on how to get the problem fixed? Thanks for your time, Scott
