[16:13] note conversation in #ubuntustudio is handbrake worth including? [17:58] 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] actually edit: https://handbrake.fr/news.php?article=37 [18:05] 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] eylul: is that something we can still do this cycle? or is it next? [18:06] 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] I have also (on my system installed soundconverter. It is really handy for distributing audio in more than one format [18:08] I would like to add that too [18:08] lets make a package list. [18:08] even if we don't make it this round, we should keep a running list of items we want to add [18:08] right [18:09] I am guessing everytime I like an audio only tool, I should be thinking "I bet we need this for video too" [18:10] (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] handbrake is like ffmpeg except it actually has a sane GUI [18:10] eylul: no one else has been here either [18:10] it definitely is a good software. [18:11] 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] nothing bad I hope? :( [18:14] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/handbrake its there and actively maintained (1.0 is the current release, or close enough) [18:14] just life [18:14] so is soundconverter: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundconverter [18:14] ya I checked at least that much before I posted :) [18:14] oh sorry! :D [18:15] np [18:16] we are past final beta freeze [18:17] assuming there is no delay *drops a message to kryten to ask [18:17] with no uploader, my suggestion is not to push it [18:17] especially since we have limited manpower to test too [18:17] about what I fugured [18:17] 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] goodness, release candidate is next week [18:31] btw ovenwerks, how is controls going? [18:32] 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] its alright. just asked to figure out where we are with it [18:33] it needs to be backed down till it works... [18:34] so I need to install a daily on another partition so I can trouble shoot it [18:34] *nods* [18:38] I have also been tutoring a friend in sh programming... which means relearning more. [18:38] he moves on to c next week I think [18:38] nice :) [18:39] ok emailing the mailing list about release.. [18:39] lets see if we can get the group together again [18:41] Ovenwerks: so wait.. is a version of controls in the zesty or not at all? [18:42] or is it only the startup script? [18:42] whats there doesn't work I think. [18:43] Check the dev mail list at the beginning of the month [18:52] yeah I saw that [18:53] do we need to pull out anything that is in the packages? [18:53] (the thread doesn't have the conclusion to that part) [18:53] it needs to go back at least one commit.. but when he did that it didn't work for him [18:54] that is why I suspect I need to test on the right version. [18:54] ok [18:54] It may mean just running the gui through the new version of glade to clean it up. [18:55] glade has been breaking up for me, (but it might be that I am using KDE on top of Ubuntustudio these days) [18:55] ok [18:55] :P I started everyone in the house on KDE (kubuntu) and two of them are no longer [18:56] One is on lubuntu (10 plus year old machine) and the other is now xubuntu... I got tired of fixing them. [18:56] my other son has had no problems [18:56] 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] :) [18:57] I can't afford (or need really) hidpi. Though it would be nice for mixbus-32c [18:58] artist [18:58] Ya, I am not as visual in things [18:58] :) [18:59] but yeah.. [18:59] I need to also figure out if 17.04 is installing on this machine now.. [18:59] if I can make the time *sighs and refuses to complain further* [19:01] 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] and it was nice talking to you Ovenwerks. :) [19:05] you as well [19:28] From my lasy iso I am 44.7% of the way.
