=== Tokyo is now known as Zachary_DuBois [11:10] does ubuntu studio come with any software for ripping DVDs? [11:18] ornj: Yes, there are several. [11:18] ok! :) [11:18] ornj: Search with sw installation tool [11:18] i should be clear; which is most conducive to ripping a short clip, as opposed to the entire disc? [11:21] ornj: The libraries and tools needed are the same. [11:21] ornj: describe your case - I'll try to follow. [11:23] i have a dvd of material to which i own the copyright; i would like to rip a short clip to upload to youtube. [11:24] right now i'm reading the wiki on framerates because i'm staring, slack-jawed, at kdenlive trying to figure out what i want my default video profile to be. [11:24] ornj: Something like this? http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/extract-individual-tracks-from-a-dvd-using-acidrip-for-linux/ [11:25] perhaps [11:25] i don't think i want the entire track but i guess in my mind i'd chop it down with some video editor first, anyway. [11:26] You want the "title" (= track on video DVD). Then use editor. [11:27] yes, thank you ;) [11:27] i thought i knew what was up, knowing a thing or two about red book cd's, but dvd's are wacky. ;) [11:35] ornj: Yes quite different realm. :) [11:36] ornj: Nevertheless I like linux tools when it comes to video. [11:36] that's why i installed ubuntu studio. ;) [11:38] ornj: I just love saying "dvgrab -autosplit nameofevent" and the DV is grabbed from my DV cassette camera. [11:38] There's nothing that beatiful in win or mac world. [11:39] well, dvgrab could be compiled for bsd, could it not? ;) [11:43] hey there, does the current ubuntu studio release use xfce 4.12? or will I have to wait for the next release? [11:44] ornj: AFAIK yes but why bother? :D [11:48] ? [11:48] ok, second dumb question [11:49] my phone uses some weird crappy .3gp format for video. [11:49] if i would like to edit that before upload, would i use the same tool? [11:49] I didn't like xfce 4.11 or what ever ubu studio was using. It crashed on a regular basis, so I started using kxstudio. However, the memory requirements of xfce are an advantage and I'm now using fedora 22 alpha which uses xfce 4.12 and its really, really good. [11:50] Plus I can always add the kxstudio repos to ubu studio when its installed. [11:50] ornj: You mean "what editor can I use for this specific 3gp-video type"? [11:50] Perhaps I should ask on the ubuntustudio-dev channel? Maybe they would know? [11:51] millerthegorilla: I think that would be wise, yse. [11:51] yes.. [11:51] downloading acidrip now, elias_a, thank you. [11:51] I'd rather not upgrade to xfce 4.12 from the current release as there are some major changes. I'll ask them thanks. [11:51] elias_a>> yes, basically, i guess, yeah. [11:52] what net is #ubuntustudio-dev on? [11:54] ornj: Just google for ubuntu sw able to read the format. Should be doable. [11:56] well, then... [11:56] for this acidrip clip do i want to use kdenlive, openshot, or pitivi to chop it down? [11:58] ornj: Do you also want me to choose your underwear? :P [11:59] ornj: Any of those is ok if able to handle the video format. [11:59] ugh [12:00] this is what i hate about the linux way... [12:00] "we're all about choice!... there are over 200 options! pick whichever suits you best!" [12:01] no. just tell me which is the "best" software for a given task :P [12:01] so that's one less thing i have to think about + can get on with my day. [12:05] this is why i have literally over a dozen web browsers on my computer, more than half of which i haven't tried yet [17:38] hi [17:39] can someone help me about how to install on a hard drive with more partitions than 4 primary? It might be a gpt table (there is a uefi, with windows 8) and I have not done such installs yet [17:39] ? [17:39] and how can I check if the partition table is indeed a gpt? [17:55] melodie: Use the live cd or USB drive [17:56] Use gparted to see the contents of your HDD. [17:56] That should give you all the info you need. [17:57] hi elias_a [17:58] usb drive does not work, the HP 250 G3 does not boot to usb [17:58] no matter wha t [17:58] we have reduced the size of Windows from within Windows with disk manager [17:58] and we do have 5 partitions [17:58] this is certain [17:59] so you have answered beside my question :) [17:59] well I found that parted -l will help [17:59] for knowing if it is gpt [17:59] then, I have been told gpt allows having more than 4 primary partitions [18:00] so, I'll have to create one additional partition yet, for the boot ? [18:48] melodie: You're on the right track. [18:54] melodie: Strange. According to manual your machine should be able to boot from USB: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04409519-1 [19:10] Well... whatever does the job is good enough. [20:31] can someone help me play a dvd? [20:32] i have ubuntu-restricted-addons installed and everything [20:35] region-restricted error with totem, won't play with mplayer [20:37] try the gstreamer good, bad, ugly plugins in both .10 and 1.0 releases [20:37] ok, i don't think i have bad, maybe aswhy [20:38] oops, i forgot i was going to update my system before asking this question :P [20:38] :-/ [20:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [20:38] Yes, I did that. [20:39] (Ah-ha, the wiki was down last night) [20:41] oh, wait [20:41] i was tired; maybe region's not set [20:41] will try, thanks, elias [20:41] ornj: You're welcome... [21:11] ornj ? [21:12] you could also use my "heavy-dumb" method (additionnally to what is said above) [21:12] install vlc, mplayer, and dvdrip, (not to rip, just to use it's debug mode) [21:13] then start dvdrip, find the debug menu, start it, add anything which is presented in red characters, except "hal" of course, then retry to read your dvd [21:15] elias_a I think I am on the good path for that install. I now know for sure the partition is of the GPT type, with EFI used in Windows, after I flashed the BIOS I was able to start a CD, but I don't have DVD's, and the Fr Ubuntu doc states only the Ubuntu official and officially supported derivated can boot to EFI once installed. I don't know if this is right, but I can't test, the machine isn't mine. [21:23] i should probably instal vlc anyway [22:59] hi, when does the next ubuntu studio release come out? [23:01] 15.04, next month sometime unless they went to LTS only [23:02] cool thanks. I wasn't sure that it wasn't on a rolling release or something. I'm trying out the new xfce on fedora 22 alpha at the moment, and it is such an improvement on the last xfce that I cant' wait to try ubu studio again. [23:10] studio uses XFCE by default. welcome back to Ubuntu :) [23:55] good night
