> > I am unable to shutdown the system completely, has anyone got any idea > > ?? It goes all the way to System now halting .. but it does not do it. It does exactly what it's saying: halting, i.e. not doing anything. Flick the switch. Alternatively, type poweroff instead of halt. Volker

Logitech QuickCam USB - any success stories?
by Marcel 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Greetings, I'm running SuSE 7.3 and have found very spotty info on the web about getting a Logitech QuickCam (USB) to run. One avenue looked promising but warned about possible hardware damage, so I declined. Does anyone know of a good resource or have a word or two of good advice? Thanks, Marcel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __ _____ | |_ _______ __ | Everything in moderation, \ \ / / _ \| \ \ / / _ \ \/ / | ....including moderation. \ V / (_) | |\ V / (_) > < | \_/ \___/|_| \_/ \___/_/\_\ | mailto:volvox@telusplanet.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] equalized .WAV files to CD

I've got the .WAV file loaded into bcast2000 and can play it back. How do I add the equalization? Do I add two more tracks and set the first two for output and the second two for input? How do I listen in real-time to what I'm doing? I tried leaving just the two tracks and setting up graphic EQ in the console (both as send and receive), but when I go to play it back, it sounds like I'm hearing it twice slightly offset. -- ======================================================= Glenn Holmer (gholmer(a)ameritech.net) ------------------------------------------------------- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

BTTV card lockups
by John C. Craig 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

I have a Hauppague WinTV card (NTSC) and it worked fine with SuSE 7.1 and 7.2. When I upgraded to 7.3, I have not been able to run it without the system locking up solid after a few minutes, requiring a hard reboot. At first I thought it was because my NVidia GeForce MX400 graphics card was set up for 3D acceleration (how else would you set up a 3D card), so I disabled 3D and there were fewer crashes with x apps, but still, I can't use the bttv card without a hard lockup. I am pretty sure the correct module parameters are card=10 (bttv new), I am never sure what tuner to specify. I could never get the tuner working properly under Linux; anyway, I never use the tuner, just video input. Yast2 does a bare configuration, reporting it as "user specified tvcard" or something like that, but seems unable to probe the correct values from the card. What am I missing here? John Craig

Video capture with VCR
by Bartydeux 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hello, I installed last month (or last year) VCR, a text-console video-recorder in divX format. It works quite well and I have already captured a few video concerts. I would like to improve the quality It wors in console-mode thus and you just have to type: >: vcr --codec "divx ;-) low-motion" -a 'Bitrate=1500' --quality 100 audiobitrate 128 --rectime 90m -p RTL --audiomode stereo test.avi I am a little baffled because I wonder how VCR managed to find the codec during installation. I suppose it found the codecs installed with avifile. Problem is I can't record in fast-motion mode (don't find codec!!). 2d problem: a 90 minutes recording takes about 300 Mb. I downloaded .avi file of about 650 Mb that lasted about 90-120 minutes with a better image quality of course. My records are not too bad but I have a lot of "squares" that appear. Thus, questions, I am still a newbie in video divx/capture and I don't use a "click-click" windows program: Does anyone knows VCR? 1) what parameter must I change to reduce the presence of "squares"? 2) what is precisely "Bitrate" , its influence on the quality of the capture. 3) --keyframes, -k <keyframes> Number of frames between keyframes (default=15): I suppose that if I decrease "keyframe", I decrease the number of intermediate and partiel frames between full-sized frames. What is the ideal number for a correct capture? 4) I can't thus encode in fast-motion: how can I solve the problem: which codec to use, where to install it and how to configure VCR to use it? That's all folks Happy New Year -- Alain Barthélemy bartydeux(a)gminformatique.com http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com
