vector-linux Vector linux = uses * ( LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ) Vector Linux = and uses * ( -f video4linux2 ) thats video 4 linux TWO Debian uses * ( -f video4linux ) thats video 4 linux ONE. ================ ffmpeg web cam recording vector/linux $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -acodec mp3 \ -f video4linux2 -s 352x288 -r 30000/1001 -i /dev/video0 \ -qmin 4 -qmax 4 -b 500 \ -aspect 4:3 -f avi -vcodec msmpeg4 -r 30000/1001 -y tvffmpeg--msmpeg-with-mp3sound-q4.avi ============================= It's taking me a while to get use to Vector-Linux. With debian enabling the debian multi media repo made installing video editing software kind of easy. But doing video editing with Vector-Linux takes some work to install KDENLIVE and cinelerra but it can be done. ********************************** video transcoder ffmpeg and video editor kdenlive (build) (ffmpeg) and (kdenlive) for vector-linux to install a custom build of ffmpeg i used LINK: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ffmpeg/build/ heres a how to do it VIDEO. Part 1. Upgrading and packaging ffmpeg from a 3rd party SlackBuild. http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=574d0ea2e90d4c6bc3f31a467c59daa6&topic=8608.msg71234#msg71234
direct link @ http://www.opensourcebistro.com/blog1/?p=268 it worked for me BUT i did not follow the TUT letter for letter. * I was not able to get slackbuild to install apps but it did a good job compiling the apps so i let it do that then i ran " make install " ass root. my new ffmpeg worked great but from time to tine updates kind of fouled it up so i reinstall it when that happens. so don't delete the source when your done make a backup and reinstall ffmpeg from that. update do break things from time to time when you install 3rd party apps. *********************************** video editor (cinelarra) verssion (cinelerra-20080527-i686-1as.tgz ) ( 3rd party) (binary) from .... http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/multimedia/cinelerra/20080527/ worked ok for me. but i did have to reinstall ffmpeg after installing cinelarra and i was not able to get my web cam to save mpeg file from cinelarra so i save my video as ms-avi's and that worked for me. NOTE recording my webcam from cinelarra the audio was all ways out of sync so thats why i use command line instead. command line apps are a lot more flexible to work with. *********************************** VOIP (skype) When i use Vector_Linux.....@$
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype " was needed for me to get my web cam to work with CAM programs like skype .

Then make shure to point opera at it. GOTO ( view * style * manage mode * display ) and point it to your new css file. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX now pagegs that use the (p) paragraph tag don't look as crapy. browser (fud)

March 1st 2010 browser (fud)

browser (fud), it tooooook me fore ever to sign into blogspot using opera today. " i cleared the cache, then deleted overrides, restarted , and used F5 but it still took a long time for opera and blogspot to start working again."

blogspot and opera are both starting to fall apart. opera still does a crappy job with the paragraph tap

and my "user.csss" is crap that barely works.

$ # date -s "2 OCT 2006 18:00:00 PM PST" root:# date -s " Fri Feb 19 06:56:00 PM PST 2010" ######################### After running date, run: as root# sudo /sbin/hwclock --systohc This will set the hardware clock to the system time, thus syncing the two (unless your hardware clock is UTC. If so, sudo /sbin/hwclock --systohc --utc will set it correctly) ################ lets hope this works on my crapy dell gx260 clock.

PcLinux fubar fast crap in a bottle

PcLinux os fast crap in a bottle . // PcLinux is fast but unstable crap. bottled crap don't use synaptic are it will start to fall a part and become unusable. " yep that sucks. " PcLinux is a nice live Cd but like most if not all live Cd's they become unstable once installed on your DESKTOP because of broken packages out dated packages mixed with new packages the clobber dependencies and config files.
================================== vector linux verses PcLinux. Because PcLinux failed to remain stable on my OLD DESKTOP I installed vector linux #6 - lite on my old pent4 systems. / Vector #6 feels a little bit slower than PcLinux. but Vector has been much much much more stable for me. I have been updating my vector desktop with gslapt for a couple of days now without braking anything yet. But on the other hand BAD bottled PcLinux broke on after only playing with it's packmanager. Because PcLinux is poorly bottle it tends to shatter ============================= Other baddly bottled crack pot ideas. g\GDM verses KDM. I don't know why or how but the stupid GDM on vector linux was over written and replaced with KDM. FUBAR gslapt let KDM take over my login without my permission. / as log as i can still login i can live with it for now. I guese thats just what i get for installing KDE apps like k3b on a icewm system.
