OK. In that case you could try installing Kdenlive via Synaptic just to see what it looks like. If I remember correctly the version available for 9.10 is pretty recent, and seemed on my short tests to be "getting there", though it may still not be as stable as we would want. See Dave's earlier email for a more detailed review he did. You could also look at OpenShot (http://www.openshotvideo.com). I don't think this is in the default 9.10 repositories yet, so I'm NOT suggesting you install it, since you have to go through a few additional steps to get Synaptic to download it from their archive: http://www.openshotvideo.com/2008/04/ppa-instructions.html > Every thing worked just as you stated EXCEPT the Jack Control.

This was why I asked about what distro you were using. The JACK point applies only to 64Studio, since it is not a default on 9.10. On your machine, the message about the audio device not being initialised must be caused by something else. You can therefore ignore the JACK point, and you can also ignore the posted follow-ups about this point except insofar as you want to explore a bit in the future (as Gustin said) - they are not directly relevant. Plainly, we need to get sound on the video as displayed in Avidemux. Firstly, is there sound when you play the unedited .vro files in the media player you used earlier? If so, can you try opening Avidemux, and going to Edit -> Preferences -> Audio. What do you have showing in the Audio Output dropdown? Try putting ALSA there, with "dmix" in the ALSA Device field below. Does that make any difference? Try putting Pulse Audio in the Audio Output dropdown. Any change? Gustin's suggestion of GNOME System Monitor should meet your Task Manager point. Adding it to the panel will make it always available, but has the drawback that it uses up some of your CPU resources - if you just want to run it from time to time, then do System -> Administration -> System Monitor. > Both files (.AVI and .MPEG) worked in the Ubuntu 9.10 Linux video player > called Myplayer. Of course no sound still. That's good news at least. > The Gnome ALSA mixer keeps sending every thing to some external mixer. So > every time I reboot I have to be sure to take the check mark off of it. Hmmm. 9.10 is using Pulse Audio by default, and not everyone is happy with it. It may be the culprit here. Try the above experiments first, and report. > Can we use the CD/DVD Creator (Applications ->Accessories ->CD/DVD Creator) > to burn a DVD? Are we going to somehow have to complete it like in the > camera? We need to get sound working on your edited files before going on to think about burning DVDs. The latter will involve using two pieces of software - one to author the DVD (put the pieces of audio and video in the right places for a DVD player to find them, add menu screens, etc), and one to burn the files to a physical DVD disc (that is the one you refer to above) - finalisation (completion) will be handled automatically by that app. > There was no re-encoding when I saved it. I guess what I need to > understand is how to turn off the JACK thing. As I said above, you can forget about JACK in relation to this issue. We will probably need to turn off something, but it isn't JACK - more likely Pulse Audio. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.cymraeg.org.uk - Welsh-English autotranslator www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
