[00:30] Hello! [00:30] I'm in need of help === wook is now known as Guest91670 [13:04] i have problems with m4a and mp4 playback in vlc and parole media player after trying to install vlc's h265 plugin. MonkeyDust in #ubuntu told me i should ask my question here. vlc and parole can't seek in m4a/m4 (parole segfaults if i try to do that, vlc just ignores it) and the total length is about two times the real length. where should i start to fix this problem? [13:06] uninstalling h265 made both vlc and parole even more broken: i couldn't play m4a or mp4 at all. reinstalling gave me the exact same problems as described above [14:33] lols [14:33] alguien hable español [14:33] !es | yaniel_ [14:33] yaniel_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[15:11] estoy interesado en la edición de video, alguien puede decirme cual es el mejor software para edición de video? [15:12] caj62: try the options from the repositories [15:12] !info openshot [15:12] openshot (source: openshot): Create and edit videos and movies. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.3-1.1 (vivid), package size 21223 kB, installed size 55704 kB [15:12] !info kdenlive [15:12] kdenlive (source: kdenlive): non-linear video editor. In component universe, is optional.

[15:13] I try openshot but its a limited soft, im seeking something more powerful [15:14] thanks holstein and ubottu for your attention [15:14] caj62: sure.. you can use different ones, or, multiple ones.. there is also lightworks http://www.lwks.com/ [15:14] caj62, cinelerra for some super-duper editing [15:14] !bot [15:14] Hi! I'm #ubuntustudio's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me: /msg ubottu botclone [15:14] yes [15:15] oh great [15:15] im looking [15:15] cfhowlett: AFAIK, that can be tricky.. i would try lightworks, though.. it may be a paid for addon that does what you need.. [15:16] holstein, definitely a steep learning curve and, imho, insufficient documentation [15:21] somebody know how to install cinelerra? [15:22] caj62, instructions are on the page [15:24] im looking [15:24] i works on education program in Patagonia Argentina [15:25] and im trying to migrate teachers to free software [15:25] all around my state [15:25] caj62, whoa. other teachers? you DO plan to provide training. right? [15:27] cinelerra is a pretty serious piece of software, even for experienced users. you MIGHT want to consider something a bit less demanding. openshot would be my suggestion. [15:27] im working in a national program. Transform literature into audiovisual , short films [15:27] yes wee ar [15:28] we are working with openshot but i consider this a little limitated [15:28] caj62, ok. what does openshot NOT provide you with? [15:28] just curious here. [15:29] cfhhowlett why are you asking? yo have experience doing this? [15:29] caj62, adult education & training, multimedia [15:30] oh very good [15:30] have you got a webpage? [15:31] caj62, nope. I'm currently in Beijing. Officially teaching Business English, unofficially doing the multimedia. (visa requirements). [15:31] https://vimeo.com/kokujinchronicles [15:34] kokujin episode 007 was made with openshot? [15:35] caj62, yes for the final rendering. [15:35] last step in the process. [15:37] are you on google+? [15:37] caj62, "China" [15:38] :) I'm guessing you've heard of the Great Firewall. Certain (well, MANY) things are blocked here, google being one [15:41] ahh i understand can we communicate by email? [15:43] caj62, seattlechaz@hotmail.com but only if you answer this: Is there much need in Argentina for ESL teachers from abroad? Business English teachers? [15:45] In Buenos Aires i think yes, i dont know in Patagonia [15:47] caj62, sent you a pm [16:32] i have problems with m4a and mp4 playback in both vlc and parole media player. my post at 15:04 describes the problem in more detail. is there anything i can do to fix this problem? [17:19] medicijnman: Did you try installing restricted codes? [17:19] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:19] m4a is to my understanding a closed format, not free license [17:19] zequence: what do you mean with 'restricted codes'? [17:19] codecs, I mean [17:20] Anything not free will not be preinstalled because of licensing issues (except for a few details) [17:20] zequence: the only plugin i tried to install is vlc-plugin-libde265 [17:20] Just install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras, and you will get everything you need [17:20] zequence: apt-get installed libde265 and libx265-59:amd64 [17:21] Best do it in the terminal. Software Center has a bug [17:21] Or, you can use synaptic [17:22] zequence: okay, i think i should drop m4a then. some music files are in m4a that cause most of my playback problems. [17:23] medicijnman: m4a will work, no problem, but I would not export audio to that format, unless absolutely necessary [17:23] zequence: primarly because it is a closed codec? [17:23] medicijnman, I have a few m4a. they play no problem. but you CAN transcode them if you want [17:23] Better to use wav, aiff, flac and ogg [17:24] cfhowlett: yeah i'm considering using ffmpeg to convert them. i don't know if the quality would be the same but for most files it doesn't matter much [17:24] zequence: yes that is also my preference [17:24] medicijnman, ffmpeg or avconv can do it [17:25] cfhowlett: yeah i know, i've converted lots of files with ffmpeg already without problems
