Converting them you're going to lose quality to some degree or another. Just burn them to an optical disk or something.

If you use: alias mplayer-identify='mplayer -vo null -ao null -identify -endpos 1' mplayer-identify /path/to/file.flv you'll probably find that they're encoded in h264, anyway. I've actually got some .flvs here that are encoded in VP6, but h264 is much more common, the most common codec for flvs on the web, and it's about the best codec out there at the moment. For image quality vs size, you won't get much better. I would prefer my video files in a nicer container, such as .mp4 or .mkv, but that won't make the files any smaller. You'll need to transcode to get smaller sizes. As the others have said: transcoding is a fundamentally lossy operation, and I would avoid it. It's also slow. Stroller.

[gentoo-user] Anyone got any older Portage snapshots kicking around?
A bit of a long shot, this, but has anyone got any older Portage snapshots kicking around, by any chance? I have a box which hasn't been updated in 2 - 3 years. It would normally be easiest to format and reinstall, but in this case the box in question is a PS3 which was installed using the experimental PS3 stages which are (I think) no longer available. I'm pretty sure this machine has some PS3-specific hacks applied, so I think an attempt to upgrade the hard way is worthwhile. If it doesn't work I'll probably try Debian, or something. I have no illusions that attempting this *will* be a pain the ass, because in the past I've updated machines which have been ignored for 18 months, and that required lots of manually digging in the Portage CVS attic and copying files into the local overlay by hand. So if anyone has any Portage snapshots that are sufficiently old left lying around from an old install, it would save me that grunt work. Alternatively, if you, too, have a machine that hasn't been updated a long time, maybe you'll be able to help me by tarring up a copy of the Portage tree. Thanks for looking, Stroller.

[gentoo-user] komodo-edit-bin-6.1.2 ebuild
I am trying to tweak the ebuild for komodo-edit-bin in order to install
komodo-edit-bin-6.1.2 which is the latest version, on a x86 machine. I have
been able to install 5.2.4 without problem (attached), so I thought I would
use that as the basis.
I changed the build No and then emerged komodo-edit-bin-6.1.2 from my local
overlay, but it crashes when I try to launch it.
No messages come up on the terminal other than:
(crashreporter:9220): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA_gtk_widget_set_sensitive: assertion
`GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed.
Some more ebuilds are published here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171944
but the most recent are for amd64 arch, not x86 and none is yet offered for
komodo-edit-bin-6.1.2.
Assuming something obvious is wrong either with the ebuild or the attached
strace file, would you have any idea how I can fix this?
