I have some questions regarding the following procedures that Kevin was so kind to provide. I will bury the questions within the text of his message so they make more sense. >>>>>>>> Message: 7 Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:42:55 +0100 From: Kevin Donnelly <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [64studio-users] Avidemux editing NOW WHAT?

Hi Albert >>>>> snip Click "Add a video to your project" (column on the right-hand side), and select the mpg file you rendered from Avidemux. >>>>> IF I just "SAVE FILE" from Avidemux the file extension is not saved. For example an ".AVI" file is saved by name only. Same for an .mpeg file which I might mention is saved as "program" when files are listed in "detail". This causes a problem with Mandvd in that it can't find the files. So I had to go back and add the extension to get Mandvd to recognize them. Note Mandvd will also take in ".avi" files. >>>>>>>> snip type into the terminal: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 dvdiso.iso testvid and enter your root password. If you go to the testvid folder, you should now see two folders, audio_ts and video_ts, with a band at the top saying "These files are on a Video DVD", and a button saying "Open Movie Player". Click that, and Totem should open and play your DVD. It should show the menu first, and when you click on your menu text it should play the DVD. >>>>>>>>> When I played the dvd there was no sound. The audio_ts file had a size of 0. the gibvideo0.mpg file played perfect including video. The ".mpg" file from Avidemux also played fine. I tried this with the ".avi" file and got the same results. I looked around a bit but couldn't find any obvious settings that I think would make a difference. So who stole my audio????? >>>>>>>>>>> To unmount the dvd iso, type into the terminal: sudo umount testvid >>>>>>>>>>> This doesn't work in Ubuntu 9.10. I get a Command not found error. When I do a man unmount I get an error. BUT I can highlight the file name and press the right button. Then a drop down menu comes with an UNMOUNT command. Problem is I don't have ownership of the file -- it belongs to root. I have no way of knowing how to become root and unmount testvid. My solution was to reboot the system. Then go highlight "testvid" and delete it. If I try to delete before a reboot I get an error that says it isn't in the /etc/fstab file. Is this a Linux test question????? So now what can one do? >>>>>> Report on how you get on with the above first. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.cymraeg.org.uk - Welsh-English autotranslator www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg >>>>>> One final question based on my dangerous reading habits. Is there a way of changing a ".vro" file to ".mpg"? If this could be done then the Avidemux output could be used in "Kendlive" program which doesn't appear, based on tutorials, to be very difficult to use. The output from Kendlive could then be used to burn a CD or DVD I think! I tried using ffmpg but couldn't figure it out. I got it installed but then got lost with the command line. So I tried to install a GUI and that became an even worse task. I had hoped that Synaptic would be able to do the job for me but it left me out to dry. Oh one last comment. I finally have the sound turned on when I boot up. I was watching a you tube video of installing Ubuntu. Some where in the probing around it got turned on for all time. So that problem is gone for now. And Johnathan -- I am still reading your prose. They a breath of fresh air compared to the normal corporate writings I have become used to. .....................................
