2011-11-04 Thread Francisco Ares
Hi, All Sorry for the OT, but Gentoo'ers are way above medium linux users. I have a bunch of movie clips and I wanted to build a table of contents including clip duration. Instead of opening one at a time, is there any application that I could user for a script? I though on mplayer, but I could

I use the following script to remove parts of downloaded videos, I guess it wont't be hard to figure out how to change it to your needs. It also creates a text file with the name of the file and, expecting it to be a video file, it uses midentify, part of the mplayer package, to read the duration

Hi, I have just upgraded Firefox from 7 to 8 and after that I was unable to hear the sound of videoclips from YouTube, for instance. I remember there was a little trick to make past versions of FF to work with pulse audio (that I use so VirtualBox machines can also play sounds), but can't find

Hi I could not check the pulseaudio dependency for gws, as libsndfile does not have it. I have had pulseaudio for a year or so, and it was fine. I used it mainly because VirtualBox depended on it to emulate a sound car on its virtual machines. Then something broke, and I could not get any sound
