good video mpeg encoder library
Hola~ I was curious if anyone knows of a good video mpeg library that allows for encoding? I'm looking for something with a C interface that's on par with libtiff or libquicktime4linux. I have an application that takes a set of images and generates a movie from them. MO -- Michael O'Brien Tools Pixar [EMAIL PROTECTED] VIZZINI:That's inconceivable.
font problem with mozilla
Hola~ I've got unstable installed with mozilla 0.9.3+0-3. Many pages do not display correctly. At least one problem is related to relative sized fonts. For example, the following page: html body pParagraph pfont size=+1+1 Font/font /body /html Displays as: Paragraph [][][] Where [] is a box. I've got the following xfont packages installed: ii xfonts-100dpi 4.1.0-2100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 4.1.0-275 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-base4.1.0-2standard fonts for X ii xfonts-scalabl 4.1.0-2scalable fonts for X Anyone else experiencing this problem? Currently, my font is set to Adobe Helvetica. If I view the font in xfontsel, it displays letters and numbers correctly, but the international chars (the ones with accents, ~, etc...) show up as a boxes in xfontsel. If I change the font, I can find one that will display the page, but I'd like to use Helvetica.

If I try to remove Qt2 it (obviously) tries to remove all its dependencies - yet it had no trouble removing it yesterday. The latest QT2 is compiled with GL support by default, thus obsoleting qt2-gl. I have the following installed: ii libqt22.3.0-final-5 Qt GUI Library (runtime version). The package contains libqt.so.2.3.0 and libqt.so.2.3.0_nogl (which are both ~5meg). libqt.so was pointing to libqt.so.2.3.0_nogl, so you will need to change the link to point to libqt.so.2.3.0 to get gl support. It would great if the installation allowed you to configure this package so that only one or both versions of libqt are installed. Also, it would be wonderful if the configure script let you choose which version of libqt libqt.so is pointing to.

disk drive controller failure
Hola~ I've got a Dell Inspiron 8000 on which I have the unstable debs installed. I believe the laptop has a buggy disk or drive controller. I'm finding some files saved to the disk contain garbage. For example, in downloading the kernel 2.4.2 source, one of the files contained some syntactically incorrect c. I've also got some sort of corruption in some apt file as apt now cores on startup. The real reason I believe this is a hardware problem is because I'm seeing similar problems using Win2k. Anyway, I was curious if there was some sort of disk drive diagnostic or testing package? I was looking at bonnie, but it seems more geared toward finding disk performance than diagnostics.

#! syntax
Hola~ Is there any way to have a #! syntax that will conditionally run a interpreter based on a set of fallback locations? For example, we have a perl install in /dir/bin/perl.

dlopen oddness
Hola~ Sorry about the wide bandwidth, if there's a better forum, please feel free to refer me to it. I've got an application that calls dlopen(SO_NAME, RTLD_LAZY). dlopen is returning null and dlerror returns undefined symbol. The manpage basically says dlopen with RTLD_LAZY shouldn't have this problem. The same application on RedHat 6.x system doesn't have this problem. I'm running the current unstable dist of Debian (by current, I ran an apt-get dist-upgrade this morning). According to ldd, the application is using libdl-2.1.3.so, from version 2.1.3-10 of libc6.
