[16:13] <OvenWerks> note conversation in #ubuntustudio is handbrake worth including?
[17:58] <eylul> Ovenwerks: if you want to convert videos into mkv (and possibly mp4 too, less sure on that one) it might be the best tool out there right now.  I am leaving aside the issues with MPEG codec distribution aside.  So.. yes, I think? (I mean we include tools with that level of specificity in audio)
[18:03] <eylul> actually edit: https://handbrake.fr/news.php?article=37
[18:05] <eylul> its not just mkv etc. it also supports vb8 vb9 now... yeah we should add it I think. *is still not sure why she can't get this to work on her own copy*
[18:06] <OvenWerks> eylul: is that something we can still do this cycle? or is it next?
[18:06] <eylul> uhhh. that's a harder question.. *is totally disoriented as to where we are in the cycle and goes to check*
[18:08]  * eylul is actually first checking if it is in the ubuntu repos
[18:08] <OvenWerks> I have also (on my system installed soundconverter. It is really handy for distributing audio in more than one format
[18:08] <OvenWerks> I would like to add that too
[18:08] <eylul> lets make a package list. 
[18:08] <eylul> even if we don't make it this round, we should keep a running list of items we want to add
[18:08] <OvenWerks> right
[18:09] <OvenWerks> I am guessing everytime I like an audio only tool, I should be thinking "I bet we need this for video too"
[18:10] <eylul> (btw sorry for vanishing.. I came home in early march to a one hell of a backlog of work, still trying to clear it up)
[18:10] <eylul> handbrake is like ffmpeg except it actually has a sane GUI
[18:10] <OvenWerks> eylul: no one else has been here either
[18:10] <eylul> it definitely is a good software. 
[18:11] <eylul> I am around for people tagging my name so feel free to call, I just didn't have time to resurrect the meetings and regularly check with people yet because.. yeah.. life..  :) anyway.. lets see..
[18:12]  * OvenWerks has had life issues here too
[18:13] <eylul> nothing bad I hope? :(
[18:14] <eylul> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/handbrake its there and actively maintained (1.0 is the current release, or close enough)
[18:14] <OvenWerks> just life
[18:14] <eylul> so is soundconverter: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundconverter
[18:14] <OvenWerks> ya I checked at least that much before I posted :)
[18:14] <eylul> oh sorry! :D
[18:15] <OvenWerks> np
[18:16] <eylul> we are past final beta freeze
[18:17] <eylul> assuming there is no delay *drops a  message to kryten to ask
[18:17] <eylul> with no uploader, my suggestion is not to push it
[18:17] <eylul> especially since we have limited manpower to test too
[18:17] <OvenWerks> about what I fugured
[18:17] <eylul> but to have a meeting after the release to better coordinate the cycle, and get these two in early before we forget. :)
[18:18]  * OvenWerks really would like focus follows mind...
[18:18] <eylul> goodness, release candidate is next week
[18:31] <eylul> btw ovenwerks, how is controls going?
[18:32] <OvenWerks> eylul: untouched mostly. I have been on meds that make me tired/sick for about 3 mon. add other stuff... not much work.
[18:33] <eylul> its alright. just asked to figure out where we are with it
[18:33] <OvenWerks> it needs to be backed down till it works...
[18:34] <OvenWerks> so I need to install a daily on another partition so I can trouble shoot it
[18:34] <eylul> *nods*
[18:38] <OvenWerks> I have also been tutoring a friend in sh programming... which means relearning more.
[18:38] <OvenWerks> he moves on to c next week I think
[18:38] <eylul> nice :)
[18:39] <eylul> ok emailing the mailing list about release..
[18:39] <eylul> lets see if we can get the group together again
[18:41] <eylul> Ovenwerks: so wait.. is a version of controls in the zesty or not at all?
[18:42] <eylul> or is it only the startup script?
[18:42] <OvenWerks> whats there doesn't work I think.
[18:43] <OvenWerks> Check the dev mail list at the beginning of the month
[18:52] <eylul> yeah I saw that
[18:53] <eylul> do we need to pull out anything that is in the packages?
[18:53] <eylul> (the thread doesn't have the conclusion to that part)
[18:53] <OvenWerks> it needs to go back at least one commit.. but when he did that it didn't work for him
[18:54] <OvenWerks> that is why I suspect I need to test on the right version.
[18:54] <eylul> ok
[18:54] <OvenWerks> It may mean just running the gui through the new version of glade to clean it up.
[18:55] <eylul> glade has been breaking up for me, (but it might be that I am using KDE on top of Ubuntustudio these days)
[18:55] <eylul> ok
[18:55] <OvenWerks> :P  I started everyone in the house on KDE (kubuntu) and two of them are no longer
[18:56] <OvenWerks> One is on lubuntu (10 plus year old machine) and the other is now xubuntu... I got tired of fixing them.
[18:56] <OvenWerks> my other son has had no problems
[18:56] <eylul> I am somewhat stuck on it.. because XFCE's ability to handle HiDPI is a bit headache inducing (literally, like causing headaches because of trying to read too small things) :D
[18:57] <OvenWerks> :)
[18:57] <OvenWerks> I can't afford (or need really) hidpi. Though it would be nice for mixbus-32c
[18:58] <eylul> artist
[18:58] <OvenWerks> Ya, I am not as visual in things
[18:58] <eylul> :)
[18:59] <eylul> but yeah..
[18:59] <eylul> I need to also figure out if 17.04 is installing on this machine now..
[18:59] <eylul> if I can make the time *sighs and refuses to complain further*
[19:01] <eylul> ok. I need to go and submit something that is due tonight.. but feel free to tag me if you need anything? (this goes for anyone else) 
[19:02] <eylul> and it was nice talking to you Ovenwerks. :)
[19:05] <OvenWerks> you as well
[19:28] <OvenWerks> From my lasy iso I am 44.7% of the way.
