I'm in the following situation:

I have a dataset on a local drive, which is about 1.25TB at this moment. It's a collection of files I want to have backed up offsite. Normally you'd think rsync or...

Thanks for the info! Some more question though: with Songbird, do you actually need to use those playlists (I normally don't)? And do you know of a way to backup the Songbird library, so that I could...

Ha, nice to see I'm not the only one!

BTW, I just discovered your other thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=898952
It looks things have changed since then?

I'd in fact prefer it...

Even if the ffmpeg in the repo's has x264, it still is a way old version, and it doesn't have the ALAC encoder yet (which is new since late september) with which I wanted to experiment for a bit.

Adding the & at the end of the wine ffmpeg.exe line results in ffmpeg taking that & and not knowing what to do exiting. Adding it after wine and before ffmpeg doesnt work either and adding is at the...

Thanks, but it doesn't work. It launches only one instance of ffmpeg, and keeps only one instance active, as if the wait_for_less_than routine weren't there.

Anyone an idea?

That's what I though, but ffmpeg.exe does show up (seperately) in the process list of system monitor. wine does not.

Thanks again, but it doesn't work. When I start the script, it only runs one instance of ffmpeg, not up to 4.

And I use a current win32 compile because it has stuff like x264, faac, and the new...

Thanks, but it wouldn't quite work yet.

What I have is a script that converts all video's in a certain folder. If I'd run that script multiple times, I'd imagine I'd convert the video's multiple...

I've got a script that convert video's to a format that I can put on my iPod. I use ffmpeg, and I pass the option -threads 4 (I have a quadcore cpu), but it still only uses 2 cpu's. Now, I was...

Anyone an idea?

I'm seeing if I can somehow synchronize the ratings I gave to songs on my iPod to the songs on my PC and vice versa. As there's no real standard to save these ratings in tags, I wonder if gtkpod (or...

Now that Ubuntu has Pulse Audio which allows us to manage sound levels for each application seperately, it seems possible to create a button (a keyboard shortcut) which toggles the mute options on...

I can get an IP8500 from someone, but I'm using Ubuntu 64bit. I suppose these drivers will not work, will they? And does anyone know if there are any driverss in cups for the 8500 yet?

First, they (or anyone) have a linux-counter somewhere, second, id gives you linux-support with every Windows game they make. Period. If you want them to know you run linux, mail them.

That's the bad thing with wine, some versions work, and the next one breaks all of a sudden. I wish wine had a Cedega-like option to run multiple versions at the same time.

There's a beta installer for all Serious Sam games. They're betas, so things may, may not work.

See seriouszone.com for the installers.

Thing is you can't do as much with folders and filenames as you can with tags. Tags allow you to make different queries each time, while folders allow you only one way of viewing.

It's the UT3 linux server that's available right? Not the game.

xmp is another standard for JPG tagging.

Sadly, tagging for images is not as standardized as for music files. I would love rhythmbox like software for my images and then also software on other...

I would say that nondestructive adjustment layers are a _very_ usefull feature. They make life so much better, it's a shame the Gimp hasn't have this yet.

Do any of you use Raw Therapee ( http://rawtherapee.com )? I find it works much much better for those typical raw edits you want to do than the Gimp.
