using kdenlive for title
by jdd 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hello, I began a serie of openSUSE marketting video clips (there is a discussion on the marketting list that should may be switch here). Problem is Linux/openSUSE is well fitted for basic video/audio manipulation, but advanced ones are more a problem. I use dayly "Magix", but it's a Windows application I don't want to use here :-( the only non olinear editors that works at least a bit on mpy openSUSE 11.3 are kdenlive and openshot I made some rushes here http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Photo.OpenSUSEVideos (only demos) I try by now to make some opening clip, from the ones used for the "I'm a geeko" clip; My need is to make title. I want to have some sort of text ("openSUSE Video Team", for example) written on an existing clip (not a fixed image). In kdenlive (just installed), I can create the title, but I can't see it, neither by itself nor on the previous intro clip. tutorials found on the net don't work (not the same kdenlive version) any clue? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help(a)opensuse.org

A change in dvdauthor behaviour - INFO: no default video format, must explicitly specify NTSC or PAL
by Dave Plater 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi, after spending a long time trying to create a simple dvd and getting the error : NFO: dvdauthor creating table of contents INFO: Scanning /tmp/dvd-out/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO ERR: no video format specified for VMGM Failed I finally googled to this page : http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Video_Format_Pref and did this "export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL" and finally succeeded in creating a dvd again, I've put the environment variable in my "/etc/bash.bashrc.local" so I won't have this problem again. This happens with dvdauthor-0.7.0, the latest from packman. The worst thing about this is thinking that it's something wrong with the source video and the last thing you look for is an unannounced change in dvdauthor which is the basis of most dvd authoring packages. The developers of dvdauthor could have at least given a clue in the message "INFO: no default video format, must explicitly specify NTSC or PAL" about how to specify a default format. One good thing, I've learned a lot about command line dvd authoring over the last couple of days.

Proposal for a multimedia team.
by Dave Plater 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hi, we need a multimedia team, I know from watching submit requests that there are at least three other potential members besides me. A little bit more communication between us would be beneficial to the mmaps and mmlibs projects especially multimedia:libs which contains packages that can wreak havoc if broken. ATM when I need help I use the packaging list but sometimes the help is blind to the needs of multimedia ie. jack, it would be nice to be able to discuss these things with more experienced multimedia oriented people. I've cc'ed this to opensuse-multimedia list but I wonder how many people actually subscribe to it?

Flash, the disgusting necessary evil pig
by Felix Miata 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

11.2, FF 3.6.12 Does everyone suffer flash-containe gobbling 11%-12% CPU (3.4GHz P4) when no tabs containing flash objects are either non-paused or in the foreground? What is the pig doing in those background tabs or while paused? These are the two flash-containing (that I'm aware of) pages I have loaded and responsible ATM: http://www.fox.com/lietome/full-episodes/ http://tv.blinkx.com/show/law-order-criminal-intent-ci/_2zeWWxu1mZrhLPt#s9e… -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

dvdwizard-0.6.2-1.pm.2.1.noarch is latest Packman version for 11.2, which is broken by latest updates to ffmpeg and/or other of its deps over past few days. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdwizard/ says latest version is 0.6.3. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

VLC-beta broken?
by Felix Miata 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Is there any easy way to tell where fault lies when VLC-beta 1.2.x fails to show the video portion of an mpeg file that Kaffeine has no apparent problem playing correctly (though poorly in fullscreen mode)? I'm on 11.2/KDE3 with AFAICT all AV packages except 1.2.10-7.3 libdvdcss the latest available from Packman. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I am not aware what > packman does to it. It seems to play everything for me. Are you using Packman for anything? It seems if I tried to use what you're using instead I'd run into version conflicts fighting each other back & forth when the (frequently updated) deps get updated. Right now I'm unable to get mpegs created by dvbcut to play the video with VLC. I just get a black screen to go with the sound track. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

making DVDs from .ts mpeg stream files
by Felix Miata 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

I think my Googling came up short getting the right packages for this. From the typical repos, mostly Packman I think, I got: 1-DVBCUT for preparing the .ts files, such as trimming & inserting chapters 2-DeVeDe for building a burnable .iso from the DVBCUT mpeg file 3-K3B to burn the .iso My first try with DVBCUT gave a 2847M .mpeg with chapters, with DeVeDe a 3279M .iso, and nice playable DVD with K3B, but: 1-chapterless 2-thumbnailless title screen I see on http://dvbcut.sourceforge.net/ the latest release news is for 0.5.4 more than 3 years ago, while my installed version is 0.6.0 initialized more than 11 months ago, and its mailing list archive has only 8 posts in the past year. I saw in a forum.videohelp.com post found by Google a suggestion to user Mpeg2Cut2 for editing the .ts files, but software.opensuse.org/search can't find any such app. Anyone know if I'm going about this right, how to get DVBCUT's chapters into the DVD, where to set a thumbnail, or some better way to do it all or help forum? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

11.2, KDE3.5, K3B 2.pm - can't reuse DVD-RW
by Felix Miata 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

K3B.pm for 3.5 worked fine before I replaced 11.0 with 11.2. The only way I can get K3B 2.0.0 1.pm.2.11 in 11.2 to burn an ISO file to a -RW disk is to use a new one. Always reusing gives errors, even if forcing a format first. Last try: Writing DVD-RW in restricted overwrite mode Using Wodim 1.1.9 ... Starting Restricted Overwrite writing at 4x speed Unable to open new session Probably a problem with the medium I see no apparent help in /var/log. Suggestions from Googling a fix for this are all over the map. Should I just dump K3B4 for K3B3? Is there a simpler solution, maybe some setting other than the defaults, maybe sequential instead of restricted overwrite? BTW, using another machine booted to 11.2/K3B 2 fails exactly the same, while booted to 11.2/K3B-1.0.5-0.pm.7 works as expected with exactly the same source and destination media. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

rtmp protocol on 11.2
by Felix Miata 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

I asked the following on a web forum yesterday: "According to http://www.downloadhelper.net/other-tool-check.php I need Replay Media Catcher in order to fetch TV episodes from http://www.fox.com. That's proprietary software only available for windoz. I don't use proprietary stuff like that, only whatever's free for Linux..." The reply: "Well, the rtmp protocol itself is proprietary, so... But anyway. You can use the open source rtmpdump to record those rtmp streams. Because of rtmp's proprietary nature, however, the project has faced challenges from Adobe." zypper se rtmpdump produced nothing, as did http://software.opensuse.org/search Anyone know how to fetch TV episodes from fox.com? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
