There is a good manual for downloading in pdf format. It is worthreading. There are also support forums.This is a closed source package, but it is IMHO very good. It will work as per a licensed copy except it renders a message on your videowhen doing final rendering. You can therefore get a good idea of what itdoes, without the normal shareware die after 30 days or render only up to two minutes nonsense. The license is EUR177/USD199. Not supercheap, but there is not a lot of choice of good video editing softwareon linux.kino is quite good, but limited in the file formats it will handle, basically dv (ie as captured from a digital video camera). it willrender to other formats, but will only import a rather limited range.cinelerra should be good but is almost document-less.avidemux is a good front end for basic cutting of scenes and trancoding to other formats, but doesn't have any ability to add effects or transitions,so is not a real video editor of the sort you want. Its good forbringing in a video track (eg recorded tv), cutting out the bits you don't want (ads, start finish overlap, sex etc) and then rendering tosomething like xvid, although it will render toDVD compatible mpeg2too. You may want to present clients with well mastered dvd's once you have edited the scenes and added transitions and a soundtrack. I know thatsome winders products offer a suite which does everything from DV camera importthrough to burning the DVD. The linux approach will require more mix and match, especially putting together DVD menus and stuff which willrequire a tool like dvdstyler.I have successfully used dvdstyler to makedvd's of family movies, recorded TV etc complete with menus.One thing to note too is that there is a bit of a trend for cameras to take mpeg or avi files instead of the more tradition digital video camDV format, It would pay to make sure that you will be able to use yourraw material in whatever software you decide to use. There are all sorts of possibilities for transcoding stuff to a usable format before youedit it, but the more steps you put in the process the more quality youcan lose.On Tue, 26 Jul 2005 16:44:46 -0400David Miller wrote: Last time I tried Cinelerra it was not what I would call production ready and feature wise it can not replace Premier.However if you want to test it out see the following link for instructions on how to use portage and correctly deal with masked packages. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Portage_Correctly In short you can do the following and then emerge normally. echo media-video/cinelerra ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords -- David On 7/26/05, simply change [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: AybOwan!

But if now i reply to this same mail, when vim comes with the quoted text that mutt passes to it y see garbage. So mutt is ok seeing and sending utf-8, vim is ok writing and reading utf-8, but when both cooperate, things get screwed. I investigate what was in the archives, so i saved a copy (using 'C' command from mutt) of the first message (the one i receive from me) and file says: 'UTF-8 Unicode mail text', check what's inside with hexedit and see that LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE is encoded with this hex: C3 A1 (which is not 00 E1 from unicode chart from http://www.unicode.org/charts/) Then i got that same mail and press 'r' from mutt to respond, comes vim with garbled text, and without touching anything i save it under some other name, and then cancel message, file in this saved text gives me: 'UTF-8 Unicode text', but when i see inside with hexedit, i got this hex for the same letter: C3 83 C2 A1, so now i have 4 bytes instead of the too before. So vim-mutt (?) is re-encoding the stuff. Like i said before, checking in vim when called from mutt for enc, and fenc gives utf-8 like it should. I create a file with vim to check this differences with the unicode chart and i got C3 A1 too, so maybe the problem is with vim, it should put 00 E1 for LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE. Well, that's all i remember to have done for this problem. I'm with this for 4 months now, i think, i took the problem, get tired of searching and testing stuff, leave for a month, get to charge again, and so on. But now i really want to solve it.

If this is in fact true then the search for the xorg.conf file would be limited to the /usr or /etc folders, not the / folder.

El Wed, Jul 27, 2005 at 02:45:27PM +0300, Moshe Kaminsky me dec�a: i got this in my ~/.vimrc: set encoding=utf-8 set fileencoding=utf-8 Please try removing this setting, then check the value after vim reads the file (when you reply). Vim sets this option when editing an existing file according to what it thinks the encoding of the file to be. Also, you might want to try something like A-jh�! I remove those settings from mi ~/.vimrc and when replying to a mail that contains utf-8 (some mail that i sent myself) i get: encoding=utf-8 but: fileencoding=latin1 So, mutt is showing correctly an utf-8 mail, but when it creates the quoted mail for reply in /tmp is giving vim a recoded file. I think... is that? So, what's happening here? :e ++enc=utf-8 file don't know how to use this from the call from mutt This will force vim to read this file as a utf-8 file. Also, what is the value of 'fileencodings'? fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1,default i already have tried with fileencodings=utf-8 only and the problem stays. i got this in my ~/.muttrc: set send_charset=us-ascii:utf-8 Might want to try just utf-8, but I don't think it will matter. Oh, no, i already tried it, i put before: set send_charset=utf-8 set send_charset=us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8 and the problem stays too. Ok, that's all concerning configuration. Now i tell you how the problem works: in mutt, if i compose a mail from scratch, without anything, not even signature, and put a LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE (got that name from unicode chart), and then send it to myself, and to a friend, my friend sees it ok and i too. But if now i reply to this same mail, when vim comes with the quoted text that mutt passes to it y see garbage. Can you include one of this characters in your reply? Yes! In the next line a LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE: � But you should see that ok, now if i reply to that message, when it reaches me through the list, i will send this stuff: á which seems to be (not sure about this) the codification of the two bytes of the LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE but un latin1.

I investigate what was in the archives, so i saved a copy (using 'C' command from mutt) of the first message (the one i receive from me) and file says: 'UTF-8 Unicode mail text', check what's inside with hexedit and see that LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE is encoded with this hex: C3 A1 (which is not 00 E1 from unicode chart from http://www.unicode.org/charts/) I think this is just the way these characters are represented in utf-8.

But if it's recoding the information, it's doing either via runtime library or via an external program.

[gentoo-user] Creating installation for slow system on a big host
Hello. I finally bought myself a somewhat low end notebook on which I want to install Gentoo as well. Since this is a low end box and since my main system is not low end :), I'd like to compile as much as possible on the big server and then later copy (or whatever) the compiled packages over to the slower system. Those two systems will be in a LAN. Always. What's the best method to accomplish that? I guess, that there's already documentation about such a setup out there.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT SATA-2 drive support in Gentoo
I inherited two Western Digital Raptor 74G SATA drives. They run at 10,000 rpm, 4.5 seek time. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but they are phenomenonly fast and quiet. I strongly recommend them. I am running them as a RAID 0, connected directly to the motherboard, using linux software RAID.

the build area up to date (http://shink.de/kwqygt) it is written:
mount -t nfs buildHost:/usr/portage/distfiles ${arch}/usr/portage/distfiles
Why is /usr/portage/distfiles mounted via NFS? I understood it so,
that the /mnt/gentoo/Maintenance script is supposed to be run on the build

Dm-crypt is fairly well supported, since it is in the kernel, but I find it to be harder to setup and less 'flexible' than loop-AES (the changing passphrase thing, for example). It provides rougly the equivalent security as loop-AES in single-key mode (where a single key is used to encrypt every block). loop-AES also supports multi-key mode, where 64 different keys are used to encrypt the blocks. Multi-key makes certain kinds of attacks (specifically, watermark) more difficult, but is slower. However, I seem to recall reading somewhere in the last couple of weeks that dm-crypt was also getting multi-key support...maybe in the mm-kernel, or for 2.6.13... Now, I doubt that most people actually _need_ the extra security of multi-key encryption. Personally I run loop-AES in single-key mode because it is faster than multi-key. Plus someone willing to go through the effort of cracking multi-key encryption would find it much easier to simply make a credible physical threat, and I will happily give them my password!! :-) I know I don't need a key, but I do want a key (stored in a remobable modia) encripted with a passphrase I will be able to change, or best, my wife can have the key protected with a different passphrase than I do.
