<div dir="ltr">thanks David, for your sincere reply. please let me tell you my idea of Burning that in compared to VCD disc. in one VCD movie, there are several folders inside. VCD, MPEGV, Pictures and other folders. if we want to get movie file, we can get .dat files from MPEGV folders. and we can save them to Hard disk. by using that way, we can take any vcd movie files from any VCD discs. and if i want to make one VCD selection buring. For example, in windows, Nero burning rom, we can burn these selected .dat files into Video-CD format. and Nero will create VCD format automatically and it puts that .dat files onto CD's MPEGV folder automatically after burning with that format. are you with me?? I m wondering whether i can do like that in DVD. so that i can extract movies from DVD 5 and save on to Harddrive and burn selected movie files on DVD9 when i need. the thing is it will play track by track. i dont need DVD title menu. so what should I do?? can anyone suggest me?? thanks for your patience!! <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 5:30 PM, <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Send ubuntu-users mailing list submissions to <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users-owner@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users-owner@lists.ubuntu.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-users digest..."

It's not that simple. The video and other files that are on a dvd are tailored just for that disc and you can't easily mix and match files from other dvds. Sure you can make a ata dvd containing different video avis or other files, but it's not the same thing as making a dvd that you can watch on a consumer grade dvd player, which is what you're expecting to do. Second, 2xDVD5 = more space than you'll be able to put on a DVD9. So if you're thinking of being able to take vobs off of 2 different DVD sources and maybe combine them on to a DVD9, you'll run out of space, and the menu and other structures (these are files other than the *VOB files (which are the movie proper) on the disc will just get majorly confused. What you can do is use k9copy or other programs to rip from the DVD the vobs of the movie, and use something like tovid to write dvd-compliant mpeg to something you can burn, minus all the menus and other stuff, if you just want to see if you can cram 2 movies onto 1 dvd-9 when the content is not going to be as good as the original DVD5 was. Use the DVD9 for what it was intended, to make good backups of movies that are already in DVD9 form and that you don't want to (for whatever reason) shrink to fit a DVD5 - or use them for backups. DVD9s are still too expensive compared to equivalent storage in DVD5 format. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:49:40 +0200 From: Gilles Gravier <<a href="mailto:gilles@gravier.org">gilles@gravier.org</a>> Subject: Re: sony-ericsson w300i dont connect To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <48E5A464.4040602@Gravier.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Glad it works!

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) The reason being, it is possible that the libraries that come with the program, (assuming it is a program not a bundle of scripts or some graphics), may be different from those already installed on your system. If this case is true then you can expect breakage on your machine, and you get to keep all the pieces. It would be much better to look for the source of the program and make it yourself on the box. For those who say it worked for me, please be aware that one case of not obviously breaking things, count yourselves lucky, you can trash your box if you should choose a program with strange enough requirements. If this latter case should befall you, a live cd mount the disk back up your data, start again is about the best way forward. Always good to have your currently version system live cd available. At this point do yourself a huge favour and back up the following directory. /var/cache/apt/archives/* This will save you download time, unless you have a huge pipe to the nearest apt repository.

I have a 64-bit Fedora (the one I'm going to replace with Ubuntu, probably), most applications are 64-bit as well but I have a 32-bit Firefox (with the requisite libraries). That makes all the issues with 64-bit Firefox go away. -- Chris Green ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:42:33 +0200 From: "Joep L.

Actually I folowed Leonard's advice and reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree and although it gave an error, saying "invalid option -n" it apparently installed. When using aptitude show etc. it says: "Package: flashplugin-nonfree State: partially configured." But I can see the video's on youtube (which was one of the reasons I wanted it running) so I don't need yo install the 32-bit ff version. I tried that a year ago in Fedora but that didn't work. It simply refused to install. But thanks again. It shows the value of an experienced users community.
