FFMPEG how to . loop still png image to mpeg-video .
youtube vid
how to code with FFMPEG:
$
ffmpeg -loop_input \
-i pic-that-will-be-looped.png -r 29.97 \
-t 10 -qscale 2 -an my-frozen-vid.mpg
-----------------------
how it works
" -r 29.97 " = 30 frames a second.
" -t 10 " = ten seconds.
" -qscale 2 " = quality 2 = best quality 30 is worst.
" -an " = audio none.

Linux debian lenny and a working 046d:08af Logitech QuickCam chat WEBCAM (Easy/Cool )
first plug it in and check " lsusb "
my quickcam chat (id) is suported my video4linux
Search debian for the gspca driver for the chipset.
now open a terminal and type "uname -r" to find your kernel module. mine is " uname -r 2.6.26-2-686 " ( so i have to install the " gspca-modules-2.6.26-2-686 ") video4linux should allso be installed. use apt-get.......... and modeprobe the gspca module OR reboot. and your web cam should work
------------------------------ " lsmod " should show : gspca 639568 0 videodev 27520 1 gspca v4l1_compat 12260 1 videodev ------------------------------
you can test your web cam with programs like chease and xawtv. Skype vide o works for me. but some programs like black box bsetbg and other wallpaper aps can screwe up skype2 video. black box bsetbg will not let skype2 display video. so don't use bsetbg to set your wallpaper. I logged out of my icewm desktop and log back in and video chat worked for me. CHeeSe come defualt with debian lenny. but cheese only records WEBCAM video as ogg theora. i'm not a fan of "ogm" oggmux, So I don't use CHeeSE so try using ffmpeg to record video. ffmpeg can record video to avi or mpeg formats, thats why i like VLC video land client can stream the webcam video as well. have fun with your $20 Logitech QuickCam chat web cam. I got mine from Walmart for $20. it works good for cif video 352x288 30fps on my slow pc. good enough for skype2 and chat.

-aspect 4:3 -f avi -vcodec msmpeg4 -r 30000/1001 -y tvffmpeg.avi

this codec only works with the ffmpeg-svn that i compiled.

D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter | that SUCKS
it allmost worked.
my slow 500mhz xp computer was to slow to use the
D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter.
it sucked.
my computer was just to slow to run skype4 and the
D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter.
my pc kept maxing out at 100% and then it would drop the phone call without warning.
there is no work around for a slow pc.
so i stuck the adapter back in the box unistalled the driver and uninstalled skype4.
" i will not try to use the stupid D-link DPH-50U
on my slow 500mhz pc again."
"i would rather use skype3 desktop software
and my sound card."
" the d-link phone thingy was a good novel idea that FAILED me."
"my sound card and a 3.5mm headset and mic have never failed me yet. so i'm going back to keaping it simple."
------------------------------------------------
I went back to a good old copy of skype3 that i had backed up my other partition.
i don't like skype4 for it's to busy and slow on my old pc.
but skype3 works ok on my pc (no video for me)
useing just SOUND it maxxes out my pc at 60%
when making skype ot calls.
but try to do video it crashes my xp box.
"but my slightly faster debian5 pc 800mz can do video."
video-calls are cool but kind of creapy.
______________________________
the bottom line is if your going to do
skypeout with the Skype D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter , make shure you pc is fast enough to use the
crapy drivers FOR the d-link device.
* down load the latest drivers from d-link...
* if your pc can't do skype4 video then it's probaly to slow
to use the d-link phone Adapter.
(stupid faux sound device vitalization? )
ha what is that?
the d-link phone Adapter dose soft ware based
sound vitalization for skype that uses up to much pc cycles and it will...
( crash and freeze up ) and then drop calls.
if you pc is to slow....
to bad the d-link phone Adapter dose not have it's on sound chip and processor
to take the load OFF of the pc , vitalization allways fails on a slow pc.
_-_
i wasted $20 at newegg on the D-Link DPH-50U Skype USB Phone Adapter that sucks .
I should of just gotten a go 3.5mm headset with a mic instead.

linux DAW lmms | digital Audio workstation
lmms (Linux Multimedia Studeo)
daw (digital Audio workstation)
lmms first run
lmms defult project
lmms simple to use? click on the sample and drag them over to your Song-editor window, and the start working on your note layout, by clicking on the little grey chicklet boxes in the Song-Editor. I don't know enough about music composing to be any good with this app but if you can read sheet music and know how to arrange notes then this app is simple to use and simple to make music. you can save your projects or even export them as wav or ogg files.
i down loaded it from debian $ apt-get install lmms

tinyXP verses microXP virtualBox
tinyxp
microxp ----------------------- microxp 99mb iso. (microxp single user ) microxp is small cutdown version of xp. it's cut down alot. maybe it's stripped down to much. virtual box share did not work with microxp. and microxp only supports one user and that user is admin. i don't like surfing the net as admin and i don't like like using a single user system. tinyXP 700mb iso. (tinyxp multi users OKAY.) tiny xp is a little better and a lot bigger it's a 700mb iso. But whats "real good" about tinyXP is that it works with virtualBox's shared folder services . virtualBox share folder. only works after install guest host controls for virtualBOX onto xp/tinyxp. 1 virtualBOX can download the iso for you, 2 and then you need to shutdown your virtual-xp 3 then mount the iso with virtual box. 4 power up your virtual xp box. 5 log-in. go to my computer. open cdrom drive install virtualbox guest /host controls. 6 shutdown. and then use virtualbox to set up a share folder. After that power up your virtual xp again. and login. 7 go to run on xp's start menu. // type in " explorer " and now you can browse your virtualbox/shared folder. tinyxp works. whats bad about tinyXP/virtualbox set up is flash will hang the hole system up. firefox users should install flash block. and opera user should just disable flash. There's no reason to be using flash in a virtualBOX any how. and opera user should kill cookies and javaskript. just because cookies suck... they work ok in virtualbox but i just think they slow sites up.

wbar google code | linux
is the wbar project dead ?
URL:
(http://code.google.com/p/wbar/
--------------------------------------
Issue 8: WBAR appear behind gnome-panel
http://code.google.com/p/wbar/issues/detail?id=8&q=offset
--------------------------------------
Issue 15: make: *** [SuperBar.o] Error 1
( http://code.google.com/p/wbar/issues/detail?id=15 )
defect
make will not complete.because getenv craps out.
you can fix code with a text editor.
--------------------------------------------
work around.
getenv does not seem to work correct on my system.
work around...
#line 20 of IconLoder.cc # i changed to.
homeDir = "/home/myname";
# and
#on line 22 of SuperBar.cc # i changed to
ADD_FONT_PATH("home/myname/");
getenv wasn't workig for me.
=============================
i all so tried a short cut "~/" instead of homeDir = "/home/myname"; and
("home/myname/") ....
but that shortcut did not work out for me as good as using a full path.
it looks like i can get bits and pieces of wbar working now.
but my local config .wbar is usless at setting fonts.
btw, i'm using debian lenny-testing.

Fast As You _-_ by (Dwight Yoakam)
Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough, yeah,
You'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long and
Maybe I'll be real strong.
Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me
Baby, let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight
And do things right.
You'll control me
Oh, so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
But, I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you.
Uhhh
--- Instrumental ---

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me

And there's no place I want to be

Night wolves moan
Winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Chorus:
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Instrumental
Chorus:
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
I ain't never coming back
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
Ohh,,, Bye Bye Baby...
