Re: [gentoo-user] HandBrakeCLI undvd. was: Cloning movie DVDs with dd

If you just want the movies to play back on a Linux laptop whilst on a holiday trip then this probably won't bother you at all, but if you want an archive of your movie collection which you'll keep for playback into the future then undvd isn't the best ripper. It seems to me that HandBrakeCLI takes that prize, in the command-line category, at least. At the moment that's all I want, but that may not always be true, so I'd rather find one program that addresses my current and possible future needs, instead of having to learn a second later on. Undvd is very simple to use, but after some playing it turns out to be too simple, I'm a Gentoo user and therefore a control freak. What don't you like about undvd, please? What settings do you want to change, that it prevents you? The reason I'm asking is that HandBrakeCLI has a bug WRT cropping PS3 playback, see: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=23t=8032start=0#p45390 I would prefer to be able to crop, because ISTM that the uncropped setting means I encode big black borders around the sides, resulting in larger files. I don't believe that undvd (relying upon mplayer) has this problem, so I am tempted to have another crack at hacking on undvd's source porting its call upon mpeg4ip (which has been depreciated from the tree) to instead work with MP4Box (part of media-video/gpac). I already had a little go at this, but I'm not an expert coder - certainly not in perl - and got a little stuck. I think I can probably manage to overcome the difficulty I encountered, but I'd be grateful to hear of any other shortcomings of undvd that I may not have considered, before I invest any more time in it. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Stroller.

But if thatdir already contains some files from thisdir, then rsync would be faster than cp. If not, stick with cp. use cp with -u and files already existing are skipped.

Some people like to use pipes in hope to speed it up, something like: tar -c thisdir | tar -xC thatdir but this isn't really faster and fscks up sparse files. Pipes definitely do not speed up things, they slow things down as pipes introduce a significant system overhead. The fastest method for copying directory trees (typicalls 30% faster than any other known method) is to use star: star -copy -p -xdot -acl -sparse -C fromdir . todir Do not forget the '.' ! Note that on Linux you may _need_ to add -no-fsync because file I/O is slow on Linux. On Solaris, not using -no-fsync slows things down by aprox. 10% but allows star to grant that everything was really copied to stable storage. On Linux, ot using -no-fsync slows things down by aprox. 400%, this is why I recommend to add -no-fsync. BTW: other programs behave like star -no-fsync by default. It may help to speed up things (in case you have enough RAM) to add: fs=128M Use no more than 1/2 of the physical RAM as FIFO size. Star implements the most effective way since more than 20 years. The idea is to use a FIFO made of shared memory and to let star fork by default into two processes that work independently.

[gentoo-user] Seamonkey and google
Hi, I been looking for a way to disable this so called feature but I can't find anything to disable this Google thing Seamonkey does. I bookmark a lot of websites and use keywords to go to them. The local weather forecast for example is fore. It works but Google gets in the way. Now to explain a little. When I mouse click in the address location and enter fore, this little thing pops up and wants to do a Google search for the word fore. Naturally this does NOT get me to the local weather forecast since it bypasses looking for the keyword. I like the history feature that pops up but I want to get rid of the Google search part. If I want to search for something with Google, I type in gg and then type in what I am searching for. I have looked in preferences, even looked at the USE flags but I can't figure out how to get rid of this. It is annoying as heck. I like Google but I know how to get there myself, even have a shortcut to get there. How do I get rid of this? Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)

Do I need to follow the upgrade docs, such as remergeing system and world? I'm no expert, but I just did the same upgrade this morning, and all I did was run fix_libtool_files afterward. So far, no problems. The really nasty upgrade is when the version of libstdc++ changes, which it hasn't lately, and then you need to recompile every app that uses it. Right, but the upgrade guide specifically mentions If you install a new major version of GCC (such as 3.3.6 to 3.4.5), the system will not switch over to use it automatically. You'll have to explicitly request the change because the migration process might require some additional steps. If you decide not to switch, Portage will continue to use older version of your compiler until you change your mind, or remove the old compiler from the system. Non-major gcc upgrades are switched automatically for you (such as 3.4.5 to 3.4.6). This being 4.3.4 to 4.1.1 looks like a major version change according to the upgrade guide. It doesn't mention what a switch manual takes, but it does list a whole series of steps such as remerging system and world without saying exactly when they or how much are necessary. I'd just as soon not do that unless necessary, but I'd much more regret not doing it if I should have. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

I'd just as soon not do that unless necessary, but I'd much more regret not doing it if I should have. Switching the compiler with gcc-config is enough with this update. There are no ABI changes and packages built with GCC 4.3 will happily work together with the ones build with 4.4. I am doing an emerge -e system and emerge -e world anyway though since I want to take advantage of the faster code 4.4 produces in general, but also more specific whether or not the new graphite optimizer of GCC 4.4 (needs graphite USE flag enabled for gcc) will give additional performance gain. (If anyone is interested in that, you need to first add: -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS (the options enabling the Graphite optimizer) and then emerge -e system and world.)
