(1) Further, I suggest you upgrade your ubuntu to Ubuntu-studio ( Ubuntu-studio is a distro of linux targetted at those doing mainly multimedia heavy work-- and comes with many multimedia tools built in) (2) You can also upgrade your Ubuntu linux to Medi-buntu -- this is a distro of linux coming with many open implementations of proprietary things built-in. I hope this helps. If any more questions please feel free to post on-list or send a uni-cast mail to me.
