There are only two ways to encode to DivX on Linux -- either with divx.com's official codec, or with ffmpeg's libavcodec. The latter cannot be used as a shared library, as far as I know, so maybe kino looks for the former.

NFS and common directories
Hello list. sorry if this question is trivial - I could not find the solution. Here is the situation: I have a number of people (lets say 10), each one have a Linux with its root fs mounted on NFS. Most of content of this fs is the same, only one directory differs. The quick and ugly solution will be to create 10 huge root filesystems on NFS server that are almost identical and differ only by one small directory. How can I make all users to share the same common set of files ? Soft links did not helped me and hard links I'm from some reason I'm not permitted to create (even when I try as root).

Re: NFS and common directories
Instead of hard or soft links, try to use mount. The root directory probably doesn't have files but only subdirectories. In this case, you can turn all invariant subdirectories into mount points. The users will then have each his/her own root filesystem. But they will mount the common stuff at mount points, which are subdirectories of that root FS. Another option is to mount the root FS from NFS, and then mount the personal directory at a mount point inside the root FS. --- Omer DISCLAIMER: I didn't try the above solutions. YMMV.

Re: document archives
Quoth Ben-Nes Michael: I wonder what is the best way to establish document archive. I mean: taking fax or snail mail, scan it and save it to the server. You will find that the greatest effort is NOT the storage method (which seems top be what you are talking about below), but the data entry effort one one hand and the categorisation on the other. Thus, if you have a fax about sex widgets as well as a voice recording of widgets used in sex (s/widgets/YOUR_FAVOURITE_THINGY/g), how would you (1) transcode - enter the data into the storage medium (e.g. scanning, transcript, etc), (2) categorise data in a meaningful way (e.g. by usage categories, by purpose categories, by both, etc). Worse, there are things which are very hard to categorise and/or transcode - e.g. films, music, posters, humour, poetry, etc. I suggest reading up on DDS (Dewey Decimal System) - a method of knowledge categorisation. It is not enough, but it is a start. Cheerio, Marc -- ---OFCNL This is MY list. This list belongs to ME! I will flame anyone I want.

Re: NFS and common directories
Thanks for a rain of solutions :) Perhaps I was not clear enough. Situation is like this: Two users (A and B) want to use directory /root_fs on remote NFS server as their root fs. There is a single directory /home that have to be different. Of course they can mount /root_fs as root fs and manually mount some other directory as /home. The question is how to perform it automatically !!! Ideal solution will be to create two root directories /root_fsA and /root_fsB and make all entries in those directories (apart from /home) to be links to common /root_fs. Unfortunately it does not works - NFS is not going across the links. Another solution (proposed by Omer I think) - is to add all entries from /root_fsA to /etc/fstab and mount all them remotely. Unfortunately it does not work also - /root_fsA is root fs and kernel expect to find there init and a couple of libraries. Mounting /bin and /lib can be occured only after init is running.. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Assuming /root_fs is mounted as their / and works well, you can put something like mount server:/home-of-`hostname` /home in rc.local or somewhere. If you want to use symlinks (which is less flexible, IMO), you can mount server:/root_fs as /root_fs, server:/root_fsA as /, and then the links will work. To do that, you will probably need an initrd, because /root_fsA won't have all the needed stuff to mount /root_fs.
