ClientAlivenot sure if this may be useful for anyone in the future (just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone comes with problems with it in the future): "he b43-fwcutter package (as of 1:013~git20100413-1) no longer acquires firmware, separate installer packages are now used."  Source: http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#supported-b4303:43
ClientAliveok04:13
ClientAliveI saw that message04:13
ClientAlivewell, I'll try it (debian) I don't have much to lose. fwcutter has worked for me in the past but for some reason was not working with ubuntu 12.0404:14
r4yHow do I use the file I created using gnome subtitles?09:14
r4yI wanted to save it to the video I was making captions for but I can;t figure out how09:14
geirhaI've never done that myself, but it depends on the container for the video file09:16
geirhasome containers can't contain subtitles, so you have to put the subtitles next to the video file, with the same name, just different extension09:16
r4yIt has the extention .srt09:16
r4yHow do people put captions on youtube?09:17
geirhaThat's some custom youtube thingy I think09:19
r4yO, I see, so I should see if I can add captions when uploading videos. Sorry I didn't know what you meant. TY10:06
