I guess this is your main problem. Start locating the
disks before doing any assembling.

Which /dev/sd[a-z]2 do you have?

How are the disks connected to which controllers?

What does dmesg say when disks are found?

Dumb question - are there any symlinks in the directories that may
be including more then you were intending, or multiple copies of
some of the directories? I have a hazy memory of there being an
option to not expand symlinks...

Downsizing a commercial DVD from 9GB to 4GB is a common procedure,
though a lot of the saving comes from removing extraneous elements such
as subtitles and extras, which the paranoid in me believes are there in
many cases in order to push the size over 4.5GB and hence make copying
slightly more difficult.

Besides, many .avi files are already highly compressed and have lower
video and audio quality than the originals (while still being acceptable
to the average viewer). Converting them to MPEG doesn't change the
quality, just the size (so older player with weak cpus can decode them
at viewing rate). Compressing them again will lose more quality, but of
course the viewer may still find them acceptable.

A typical 42-minute TV episode (1 hour less commercials) is around 350MB
in .avi format, so you'll get a dozen or so on a single-layer DVD. The
commercial boxed sets of series (at full broadcast quality) get 3 to 4
episodes per *dual-layer* DVD.

I rebooted and the init boot process hung right after message from
udev-post:

"Retrigger failed udev events"

It just did nothing.  I could hit CTL-ALT-DEL to reboot.

I booted into single user, cd into /etc/rc5.d and executed each
till /etc/rc5.d/S27slapd.  It just did nothing, the process stopped at

/sbin/runuser -m -s slaptest" -- ldap

I disabled slapd and was able to boot to runlevel 5.  Ran
the /etc/init.d/slapd by hand and the output was about cleaning the
databases.  The slapd init script was then able to finish and now I can
boot without the boot process hanging.

This has never happened before.  Slapd was able to recover just fine
before.

Any ideas how or what to look at?  I don't even know under what to file
a bugzilla for this.

I'm running

I'd argue that the last statement isn't true.  MPEG is a lossy system,
so there will be a loss in quality, as well as size, and that can be
compounded by the original compression in the AVI, particularly if it
were a lossy scheme, even more so if the lossy techniques are very
different.  You don't just change a format, you are compressing video
when you MPEG it.

Whether that will be significantly noticeable, or not, is another
matter.  That will depend on the amount of MPEG compression, the
observer, as well as the equipment.

A good MPEG encoder can manage a surprising amount of compression
without being objectionable.  I was quite surprised to see that a 50%
re-compression on one of my dual layer DVDs to a single layer disc was
barely noticeable, and I'm quite particular about maintaining quality.
Though, typically, I think you want to stay well above 70% compression.
It's more luck, than anything else, when you get away with such a
radical amount of re-compression.

That is what I had in mine, but will a TV DVD player play each video 
file, k3b will not let you burn a Video DVD with individual video files.

I was going to divide the series on two DVD's , 5 on each, I'am just not

Hi;

Getting crashes in Epiphany, CNN video and utube video in FireFox not
working. Pretty sure its a flash player problem.

I have re-installed adobe flashplayer.  My yum is properly connected to
the adobe flash repository.  Checked on line; all the tips I could find
were about flash 10.0.45.2 or later were for earlier in the year.

Mythtv has this functionality built in. You can dump your avi's in
your videos folder, then select them with the menus and get the
computer to work out the compression to fit all 10 on a DL-DVD. It
will even make the menus and stuff automagically.

If you have an extra pc lying around, you could whip this together
pretty quick. Just ignore the tuner information while getting things
set up and the remote, and just use the keyboard.

You could try Mythdora or Mythbuntu if you want one pretty well
packaged and ready to roll with minimum effort.

As I said before, you use K3B to create a *Data DVD*, not a video DVD.
If your player is modern enough, it will just read the (FAT) filesystem
and play the .avi files. I do it all the time, though nowadays I usually
just copy the .avi's to a pendrive since my player has a USB port. My
player is a couple of years old and only has USB 1.1 (the lower
bandwidth causes stuttering on some very complex images) but newer ones
should definitely be able to so this, plus many of them also
understand .mkv, .flv and other formats.

As Ed already said, you can of course also create a standard video DVD
with multiple titles using authoring software such as devede, but with
the caveat that you won't get so much onto each disc.

Just try it. DVD blanks are cheap, or you could use a rewritable one if
you want to be sure of not creating a coaster :-)

I've been toying with getting a "media player", e.g. the Western Digital
WD Live, which allows you to store all your videos on an external USB
drive (which you supply separately) and converts them on the fly to a HD
TV signal. It's only $100-150 on Amazon and the Live model also has
Wifi. I'm sure MythTV on a spare box can do all this as well, there's
something to be said for special-purpose boxes in this sort of
situation. I'm open to persuasion however.

FC12, X86_64

Does Fedora have a RPM Frontend for dvdauthor ?  I googled and all I 
could find was the Qdvdauthor.tar.gz

Trying to install Qdvdauthor.tar.gz but got error message;

    Error, could not find moc.
    moc is part of qt-devel. make sure you
     have installed this package and your
    PATH environment is set to point to the  executables

I installed qt-devel  i686 and x86_64.

How do I make  PATH environment is set to point to the  executables ??

I don't have a TV DVD player I always play them on my Computer and Wide 
Screen LCD Monitor.

But my friend doesn't have that luxury he will have to play and watch 
the videos on a TV.

I will put five videos on a DATA DVD (Two DVDs for all 10 video series)  
and see if he can play them that way.

hi,

I got so tired of windows problems - viruses, screen - computer freezes, I
just stuck in a Linux for non-geeks CD and loaded it.  It wiped my hard
drive as expected, but I kept getting an error near the end of the install.
A friend gave me another Linux load, but it give me an error saying my BIOS
was 1997 and I needed a a 2000 BIOS or better.  The machine has a Pentium 3
with 550 MHz CPU with over 700 Megs memory but a small hard drive of just 10
Gigs with a swapable drive in pull out bay with a grab bar.  I was using
Windows XP Pro 2000 for OS.  I installed a USB 2.0 on it that worked most of
the time.  I have done a lot of Google searches to see if I could find Linux
and a GUI that would be as easy as a Mac or XP environment for a 1997 BIOS
machine.

Any ideas on a good Linux load for such an old machine?  With the XP I could
print to a office jet 7410 all-in-one printer, scanner fax with no problems.

Browsing the Internet was ok, but video - youtube was mostly non-worable -
mostly too slow.
