Extracting Audio from Uncompressed *.mov Files
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hi, I have digitized an old audiotape on Mac with Formac DVStudio (analog audio/video to FireWire DV converter) and old analog tape player. Strangely enough, supplied Formac AudioWizard is able to create only *.mov file without video. The question is how to extract audio from uncompressed *.mov files and convert it to mp3 on Linux, where I have moved them? Thanks in advance. Andrei

HAL horror in SuSE 9.3
by Gabor Istvan 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Dear list members: I've been using SuSE 9.3 for a while and I find it solid. But there is a thing that is like horror and it is mounting media with/through HAL. First of all it even does not work well if installed in the default way (out of the box) without any additional .fdi files. Even for the same media-volume it often creates new entries in /media, like VOLUME_1, VOLUME_2 and leaves them there as trash. Once I had six floppy entries, from floppy to floppy_5. I would like to mount my pendrive as /media/pendrive instead of /media/FlashDisk. OK, there is a method to change hal's behavior to mount to static mount points. The description can be found at: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/05/ dkukawka_hal_mountpoints.html Despite of that this seems like horror it even does not seem to work. For the cdrom/dvdrom I could set a static mount point using the description but for my pendrive I could not. I guess that part of the description is not correct or at least does not contain enough information. I searched for vendor.info and product.info values in lshal output - with my usb pendrive mounted and unmounted - but could not find out which one is that I need. Before inserting the pendrive I had 37 devices and after inserting had 43 devices (as lshal output). I had 5 more udi entries after mounting. But how do I know which one is the udi entry I have to get the info.product and info.vendor values from? Only two udi entry had both values and I tried both pairs but none of them worked. I saved the diff file of the two lshal output and can send it if needed. And another question: if the info.vendor and info.product is unique for every different USB pendrive brand then will the mountpoint change back to the hardcoded if I insert in another type of pendrive? (I wanted to get help from the author of the above article but could not find his email address.) I apologise for being so verbose but I spent a lot of time to fix this issue without any success.

Hi! I have SuSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4.2. In earlier versions of KDE there was an option: Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps I have now just "Apply colors to non-KDE applications" and fonts in non KDE apps are not same as in the KDE. Thanks, Mitja

Confused about cd iso's
by Mister 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

After looking on the mirrors I noticed that there are five cd iso's available for download. Now the readme text file claims this is an evaluation version but then says it is a full 32 bit version with some packages the dvd iso does not have. Is the five cd iso's actually the full version or an evaluation version ?
