[09:59] <soundray> Hi s2a
[09:59] <s2a> soundray, hi
[09:59] <soundray> Give me two of your 14 filenames please
[10:00] <s2a> 12*
[10:00] <s2a> the first is 0007 then 0008 then 0009 and so on to 0022
[10:00] <s2a> well
[10:00] <icesword> !packages
[10:00] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[10:00] <soundray> What  kind of video file are they?
[10:00] <s2a> soundray, wat im trying to do is make one video repeat so i copy pasted it like alot of times (15 not 12 actually) and renamed them
[10:00] <icesword> yeah,20000
[10:00] <soundray> icesword: /msg ubotu packages
[10:01] <s2a> well merging should do the same anyway, so ya, help plz :)
[10:01] <soundray> s2a: most players let you loop a video
[10:02] <s2a> well isnt it safer to just combine the same video copy pasted alot of times?
[10:02] <soundray> s2a: okay, let's not discuss the rationale, just try the cat thing:
[10:03] <soundray> cat 0007 0008 >merged
[10:03] <s2a> soundray, how do i do it again?
[10:03] <icesword> see
[10:03] <soundray> ^ this command creates a file called merged, which should contain your clip twice.  Open it in kino or anywhere to see if it has worked
[10:05] <soundray> s2a: are you trying that?
[10:05] <s3a> soundray, sry internet disconnected (dial-up)
[10:06] <s3a> it says there is no such file or directory
[10:06] <soundray> Did you run the command I suggested?
[10:06] <soundray> cat 0007 0008 >merged
[10:06] <s3a> i ran exactly "cat 0007 0008 >merged"
[10:07] <s3a> without quotations
[10:07] <soundray> Do a 'ls' to see if the file "merged" is there
[10:08] <s3a> i see the word merged
[10:08] <s3a> do u have msn messenger so i can load u with results?
[10:08] <soundray> s3a: that means the file is there
[10:08] <soundray> not necessary
[10:08] <s3a> were is it?
[10:08] <soundray> Run 'pwd' to see the path to it
[10:08] <s3a> in examples?
[10:09] <s3a> the file called merge is an empty text file
[10:09] <s3a> brb in 2 min
[10:11] <s3a> im bak
[10:12] <soundray> s3a: are 0007 and 0008 empty, too?
[10:13] <s3a> 0007 and 0008 are like 2 second video files each
[10:13] <soundray> s3a: and are those the actual names, or is there an extension like .avi missing?
[10:13] <s3a> soundray, its avi but for some reason i dont think they r bcuz of the fact that it doesnt work in windows
[10:14] <soundray> s3a: well, avi is just a container -- maybe you don't have the necessary codecs in Windows.
[10:14] <soundray> What do you get from 'ls 0007*'?
[10:15] <s3a> ls: 0007*: No such file or directory
[10:17] <soundray> s3a: then you have to cd to the directory where you saved those video files.
[10:17] <soundray> s3a: where are they?
[10:17] <s3a> on my desktop in a folder called teliose
[10:18] <soundray> s3a: so do a 'cd ~/Desktop/teliose'
[10:18] <soundray> Then, what do you get from 'ls 0007*'?
[10:18] <s3a> ls: 0007*: No such file or directory
[10:19] <soundray> s3a: what does 'pwd' give you?
[10:19] <s3a> /home/deniz
[10:19] <soundray> You haven't done 'cd ~/Desktop/teliose'
[10:21] <s3a> well no ofense but u dint say do that
[10:21] <soundray> Hello?
[10:21] <soundray> Yes I did
[10:22] <soundray> [10:18] <soundray> s3a: so do a 'cd ~/Desktop/teliose'
[10:22] <s3a> maybe that was exactly wen my modem got disconnected?
[10:23] <s3a> ok so now
[10:23] <s3a> deniz@deniz-desktop:~/Desktop/teliose$
[10:23] <soundray> Then, what do you get from 'ls 0007*'?
[10:25] <s3a> a green 0007
[10:26] <soundray> s3a: now do a 'cat 0007 0008 >merged' and try playing "merged".
[10:28] <s3a> oops 0007 is not the file i wanted but i thinks its working im watching to see if it worked with merging the previous video to one of the ones i wanted
[10:28] <s3a> no
[10:28] <s3a> merged has only 0007
[10:29] <soundray> s3a: okay, cat doesn't seem to work with the type of video file that you have. I can't help you in that case.
[10:29] <s3a> soundray, isnt there a gui alternative?
[10:30] <s3a> :(
[10:30] <s3a> ok thx for trying
[10:30] <s3a> ill go to cinelerra's channel
