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

*** How to play DVD in 5.1 on SuSE 8.1 + SB Live! 5.1 + 5.1 speaker system??
by George Roubchinsky 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Hello. Just a bit stupid and straight question. Sound card is SB Live! 5.1, has been detected during the installation, working normally - as minimum I hear stereo sound immediately after installation (MP3, Audio CD). DVD-ROM drive is also Ok - DVD can be mounted right from the desktop, I see the files on DVD just as filesystem on any media. How to play DVD in 5.1? Speakers is as usual, 2 front, 2 rear, center and subwoofer, connected to SB Live! 5.1 properly, in Windows I hear all 5 channels and subwoofer + I am able to control sound fading (pan the sound) and volume of the center channel separately. What should be used in SuSE Linux 8.1? I mean 1) DVD Player and 2) the mixer to control 5.1 sound fading/volume e.t.c. On my first look at KDE installed with whole "Multimedia" packages - I do not see those software. Could You please copy the answer to G.Roubchinski(a)Chello.nl as well? George

-----Original Message----- From: Irwin Hutchinson Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 10:59 AM To: 'Jason Farmer' Subject: RE: [suse-multimedia-e] Playing Audio CD's Hi Jason, I had the same problem when I up-graded from Suse 7.2 to Suse 8. I cannot remember all that I did but some of the things I did was to add a line to fstab, /dev/cdrom etc. (other items roughly same as the cdrecorder line) and added a "cdrom" folder to "Media" and put another cdrom icon on my desktop pointing to /media/cdrom. I am not at home right now (at work and should be working) so I do not have all the facts to hand, when I get home I will have a look and see if I can say more.
