[11:10] <ornj> does ubuntu studio come with any software for ripping DVDs?
[11:18] <elias_a> ornj: Yes, there are several.
[11:18] <ornj> ok!  :)
[11:18] <elias_a> ornj: Search with sw installation tool
[11:18] <ornj> i should be clear; which is most conducive to ripping a short clip, as opposed to the entire disc?
[11:21] <elias_a> ornj: The libraries and tools needed are the same.
[11:21] <elias_a> ornj: describe your case - I'll try to follow.
[11:23] <ornj> 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] <ornj> 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] <elias_a> ornj: Something like this? http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/extract-individual-tracks-from-a-dvd-using-acidrip-for-linux/
[11:25] <ornj> perhaps
[11:25] <ornj> 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] <elias_a> You want the "title" (= track on video DVD). Then use editor.
[11:27] <ornj> yes, thank you  ;)
[11:27] <ornj> i thought i knew what was up, knowing a thing or two about red book cd's, but dvd's are wacky.  ;)
[11:35] <elias_a> ornj: Yes quite different realm. :)
[11:36] <elias_a> ornj: Nevertheless I like linux tools when it comes to video.
[11:36] <ornj> that's why i installed ubuntu studio.  ;)
[11:38] <elias_a> ornj: I just love saying "dvgrab -autosplit nameofevent" and the DV is grabbed from my DV cassette camera.
[11:38] <elias_a> There's nothing that beatiful in win or mac world.
[11:39] <ornj> well, dvgrab could be compiled for bsd, could it not?  ;)
[11:43] <millerthegorilla> hey there, does the current ubuntu studio release use xfce 4.12?  or will I have to wait for the next release?
[11:44] <elias_a> ornj: AFAIK yes but why bother? :D
[11:48] <millerthegorilla> ?
[11:48] <ornj> ok, second dumb question
[11:49] <ornj> my phone uses some weird crappy .3gp format for video.
[11:49] <ornj> if i would like to edit that before upload, would i use the same tool?
[11:49] <millerthegorilla> 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] <millerthegorilla> Plus I can always add the kxstudio repos to ubu studio when its installed.
[11:50] <elias_a> ornj: You mean "what editor can I use for this specific 3gp-video type"?
[11:50] <millerthegorilla> Perhaps I should ask on the ubuntustudio-dev channel?  Maybe they would know?
[11:51] <elias_a> millerthegorilla: I think that would be wise, yse.
[11:51] <elias_a> yes..
[11:51] <ornj> downloading acidrip now, elias_a, thank you.
[11:51] <millerthegorilla> 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] <ornj> elias_a>> yes, basically, i guess, yeah.
[11:52] <ornj> what net is #ubuntustudio-dev on?
[11:54] <elias_a> ornj: Just google for ubuntu sw able to read the format. Should be doable.
[11:56] <ornj> well, then...
[11:56] <ornj> for this acidrip clip do i want to use kdenlive, openshot, or pitivi to chop it down?
[11:58] <elias_a> ornj: Do you also want me to choose your underwear? :P
[11:59] <elias_a> ornj: Any of those is ok if able to handle the video format.
[11:59] <ornj> ugh
[12:00] <ornj> this is what i hate about the linux way...
[12:00] <ornj> "we're all about choice!... there are over 200 options! pick whichever suits you best!"
[12:01] <ornj> no. just tell me which is the "best" software for a given task  :P
[12:01] <ornj> so that's one less thing i have to think about + can get on with my day.
[12:05] <ornj> 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] <melodie> hi
[17:39] <melodie> 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] <melodie> ?
[17:39] <melodie> and how can I check if the partition table is indeed a gpt?
[17:55] <elias_a> melodie: Use the live cd or USB drive
[17:56] <elias_a> Use gparted to see the contents of your HDD.
[17:56] <elias_a> That should give you all the info you need.
[17:57] <melodie> hi elias_a
[17:58] <melodie> usb drive does not work, the HP 250 G3 does not boot to usb
[17:58] <melodie> no matter wha t
[17:58] <melodie> we have reduced the size of Windows from within Windows with disk manager
[17:58] <melodie> and we do have 5 partitions
[17:58] <melodie> this is certain
[17:59] <melodie> so you have answered beside my question :)
[17:59] <melodie> well I found that parted -l will help
[17:59] <melodie> for knowing if it is gpt
[17:59] <melodie> then, I have been told gpt allows having more than 4 primary partitions
[18:00] <melodie> so, I'll have to create one additional partition yet, for the boot ?
[18:48] <elias_a> melodie: You're on the right track.
[18:54] <elias_a> 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] <elias_a> Well... whatever does the job is good enough.
[20:31] <ornj> can someone help me play a dvd?
[20:32] <ornj> i have ubuntu-restricted-addons installed and everything
[20:35] <ornj> region-restricted error with totem, won't play with mplayer
[20:37] <ObrienDave> try the gstreamer good, bad, ugly plugins in both .10 and 1.0 releases
[20:37] <ornj> ok, i don't think i have bad, maybe aswhy
[20:38] <ornj> oops, i forgot i was going to update my system before asking this question  :P
[20:38] <ornj> :-/
[20:38] <elias_a> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[20:38] <ornj> Yes, I did that.
[20:39] <ornj> (Ah-ha, the wiki was down last night)
[20:41] <ornj> oh, wait
[20:41] <ornj> i was tired; maybe region's not set
[20:41] <ornj> will try, thanks, elias
[20:41] <elias_a> ornj: You're welcome...
[21:11] <melodie> ornj ?
[21:12] <melodie> you could also use my "heavy-dumb" method (additionnally to what is said above)
[21:12] <melodie> install vlc, mplayer, and dvdrip, (not to rip, just to use it's debug mode)
[21:13] <melodie> 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] <melodie> 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] <ornj> i should probably instal vlc anyway
[22:59] <millerthegorilla> hi, when does the next ubuntu studio release come out?
[23:01] <ObrienDave> 15.04, next month sometime unless they went to LTS only
[23:02] <millerthegorilla> 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] <ObrienDave> studio uses XFCE by default. welcome back to Ubuntu :)
[23:55] <melodie> good night
