Package: democracyplayer Version: 0.9.5.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hi.
I just installed democracyplayer on my machine and I wanted to get some videos from the Google Training series like this one: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5160435487953918649&q=Google+engEDU+sqlite If you go to the page you will see that it offers the video for download in the "Windows/Mac" format (which gives me an AVI file compressed with MPEG 4 video. Unfortunately, when I download the versy same video with democracyplayer, it grabs (generates?) a .flv file. I don't know if it is transcoding what it gets on the fly, but the end result is a remarkably lower quality file, especially when you try to see it at full screen or present the resulting file for students. Would it be possible to, perhaps, implement a Preference that just gives me the AVI file when it is present? This would be quite a helpful thing. Thank you very much, Rogério Brito. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages democracyplayer depends on: ii democracyplayer-data 0.9.5.3-1 GTK+ based RSS video aggregator da ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libboost-python1.33.1 1.33.1-10 Boost.Python Library ii libc6 2.5-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.1.2-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.11-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnss3-0d 3.11.5-3+b1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.1.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.1-1ubuntu3 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.3-1build1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.0-1build1 X11 Input extension library ii libxine1 1.1.2+dfsg-4 the xine video/media player librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.1-4build1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxul0d 1.8.0.11-4 Gecko engine library ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade2 [python2 2.10.4-2 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 [python2 2.18.2-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gnome2-extras [ 2.14.3-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 [python2.4 2.10.4-2 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 0.6.3 automated rebuilding support for p ii python2.4 2.4.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13ubuntu4 compression library - runtime democracyplayer recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
