Google makes all of its money. That makes it rather intriguing though.

With that said, I do not consider any type of email a confidential

with enough hard work, they will.

 A

 What
 I
 don't
 understand

 the
 fact
 that
 having
 the

 Linux
 works
 while
 BSD
 doesn't:
 I
 can't
 even

 192.168.1.1,
 while

 I
 read

 I

 Check the mencoder documentation. Install mplayer, dvdauthor and
 growisofs (dvd+rw-tools).

 And set cranking. :)

 If you already have DVD compliant VOB, my stuff will not apply. If you
 don't then this is what you have to do.

 mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf \
  -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 \

 keyint=15:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 \
  -o movie.mpg movie.avi

 Now movie.mpg contains MPEG-2 video befitting the DVD profile.

 Now just use a simple config file with dvdauthor and write it with
 growisofs.

 Something like this perhaps?

 $ cat foo.xml

 dvdauthor
vmgm /
titleset
titles
pgc
vob file=movie.mpg /
/pgc
/titles
/titleset
 /dvdauthor


 $ dvdauthor -x foo.xml -o myvideo

 dvdauthor will create a directory myvideo with dvd structure that can be
 directly given to growisofs or you could create an ISO with mkisofs with
 the -dvd-video switch.

 Hope this helps.

Hi Girish,

Thank you for you suggestion, It worked almost flawlessly!!!
I say almost because the dvd will not play in my standalone dvd player, but
will play on both my macbook, and freebsd machine. I will look into the
dvdauthor, and mencoder docs to see if i can figure out why.

thank you again for your help.

 I was actually thinking console for that part of the terminology, but
 yeah, that's what I want to attach to, the man page didn't tell me how
 though.

 This seemed relevant:
 Output to a virtual console that not currently is on the display is
 saved
 in a buffer that holds a screenfull (normally 25) lines.  Any output
 written to /dev/console (the original console device) is echoed to
 /dev/ttyv0.

 However, cat'ing and less'ing the device did nothing, except act as if
 it were waiting for input, and none was coming.

 I however did find out which screen I'm on using ps -A and grep:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12:01:15 (0) /ports/java/diablo-jdk15   ps -A | grep tty
 sjss  0.0   0   0:00.33  0.6  0  00 26343 26339

 sjss  0.0   0   0:09.61  0.5  0  00 43906 43903

 So, I want to see what is going on with ttyp0

I guess i was a little vauge. sorry.

What you will need to do is run the program screen, (sysutils/screen), on
the macine that you will want to monitor, BEFORE you start your processes.
the man page should be able to tell you how to attach/detach from the screen
session. I use this all the time in much the same manner as you are trying.

What do I do now?  Can I restart from the install CD and go back into
Sysinstall?

I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 on a Macbook Pro, via Parallels Desktop.

Thanks very much and sorry for such a stupid predicament.

Roger

Hi.
By what device name should I mount
the flash memory disk (disk-on-key).

On linux it was /dev/sdb0, what is it's name on FreeBSD ?

Thanks,

Hi.
It _seems_ that FreeBSD does not allow root to login remotely via ssh.
I can miss something, but if I right, how
do I allow it ?

Thanks and regards,

Its generally  not a good idea (hence, why it is turned off by default). You
can login as a user and su to root.

see sshd_config for how to turn it on.

Re: Can't install win32-codecs

Hi,

Im trying to get a new install going, and it wont let me install
win32-codecs (and therefor mplayer and xine and everything i
need to watch multimedia). Its marked as forbidden: remote
code execution. The URL it gives just shows why it can be
dangerous.

Is there any workaround, or a way to force this? Im willing to
take the chance and i never view quicktime websites anyway,
and its hard not to watch movies on this new machine!

Thanks!

Jen

Taken from post October of last year:

  As per the ports(7) man page:

DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES
  If defined, disable check for security vulnerabilities
  using portaudit(1) (ports/security/portaudit) when
  installing new ports.

  i.e.:

  cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla
  DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=1 make install

Re: dhclient overwrites reslov.conf

I'm in a LAN with a relatively short lease time. That wouldn't be a
problem if I wouldn't run a vpnc connection through this LAN. The vpnc
connection sets /etc/resolv.conf as required, but dhclient overwrites it
every couple of minutes, causing DNS not to work any more. Is there a way to
make dhclient set up resolv.conf only when the IP of the interface is
changed?

take a look at the /etc/dhclient.conf man page. You can add a line to set
dns servers.

example:
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.3 2001/10/27 03:14:37 rwatson Exp $
#
#   This file is required by the ISC DHCP client.
#   See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details.
#
#   In most cases an empty file is sufficient for most people as the
#   defaults are usually fine.
#
prepend domain-name-server 130.253.166.41;

just change 130.253.166.41 with the correct value
