Re: The Last Frontier : a good multimedia application
On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 9:01 AM, Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, After weeks of fumbling and struggling, I have made my full transition from Linux to FreeBSD, thanks in no mean measures to the assistance of this forum. I've got my FreeBSD 7.1 x86 system set up exactly as I wanted it and now I am looking to move one step further - and that is one big step. I wish to get rid of my Windows installation too, which exists purely for the purpose of multimedia entertainment - one area where I think GNU-based systems still have some way to go before they catch up with Win32 applications. However, I am willing to give it a try. I already have xmms set up, which takes care of the audio part reasonably well. The big hole that remains is a video application. What I looking for is something on these lines : 1) I hardly ever play movies directly from the CD/DVD drive (/dev/dvd - /dev/acd0, courtesy devfs.conf). First I copy them to the hard-disk (after decrypting any DVD's if needed). So I ideally want an application that can play .dat and unencrypted .vob files directly from a hard disk ntfs partition without incessently complaining about missing plugins. (If necessary, I can reformat the ntfs partition as ffs). Actually, to be more accurate, I don't even have any .vob files. What I have is unencrypted .iso images of the DVD's, which I guess I will need to mount via mdconfig. But if the application strictly needs .vob files, I'll extract them from the iso images for its benefit. 2) Since my DVD drive is capable of reading DVD's from all regions, it would be great if the application could also, if needed, directly play encrypted DVD's from the drive itself. I have libdvdnav, libdvdread, libdvdcss and libdvdplay installed. 3) The final point to be considered is the quality of the video/audio playback compared to, say, PowerDVD on Windows - which I have used (version 2.55) with absolute delight and satisfaction since I purchased my first DVD. Any tips/input would be greatly appreciated. To keep the discussion simple, HD/Blu-Ray are not in my plans for the current century. Have you tried the ports multimedia/mplayer or multimedia/vlc? I can't live without mplayer on my desktop and it usually just works on everything i try to play. If you want a fancy GUI, search in ports/multimedia for mplayer and you will find kde-mplayer, gnome-mplayer and friends. Video playback and tv-out is one big reason why I dont use windows on my desktop. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Backup solutions
Hello! I'm supposed to setup a server with the following services: Apache MySQL Email (smtp,pop,webmail) DNS ipfw Filesharing with Samba For this I have two identical equipped PC's, one DAT-writer and one additional large harddisk. The load on the server will not be high so I will only need the first PC to handle these services. The databases for MySQL are small (about 30Mb) /var/mail will be big (about 3Gb) The websites are small (about 50-100Mb) I expect the files to share with samba wont take more than 5Gb Now to my questions: 1) I want daily backups of this, at lest mail and mysql must be backed up daily. The files shared with samba are not that important so a weekly backup is enough. It is not possible for me to change the tape in the DAT-writer more than one time per week. 2) Because I have two computers it would be nice if I could use the second one for redundancy so I can take any of the computers down and do a 'make world'. So. How would you accomplish this? My idea is to use pdumpfs to dump everything to the additional disk every day, and as extra security compress and dump mail and databases to DAT every week. In my solution I dont use the second computer at all, I have no idea aout how to accomplish redundancy. All ideas and tips are welcome! //Erik ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
