I just installed a fresh copy of 11.04 and have been setting up my preferences. I have noticed while doing this that the About Me dialog does not save anything that I put in. I can totally fill the dialog out, close it, and when I reopen it, it is blank. What is going on? I have never had any trouble like this out of any of the other Ubuntu versions prior to 11.04.
Jason Watkins's questions
Good evening all,
I have decided to rip my entire DVD collection to Ogg-Theora video, specifically a few different TV series' that I have so I don't have to keep digging the discs out. To do this, I have been using dvd::rip to pull the individual vob files from the disc and then using ffmpeg2theora to encode. This process has been working great for me until I hit a slight snag. The dvd I just ripped does not have the individual episodes in vobs, but the entire disc of 7 episodes in one vob. I went ahead and ripped it and encoded the whole thing into Theora. Now, how do I split this file into the individual episodes?
I would prefer not to re-encode these, and obviously any prospective program would need a easy way for me to set the 'cut' points. I have used a few similar programs in Windows (for other formats), but I am unsure of what is out there for Ubuntu. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Good evening all,
I am having a problem with RhythmBox on Ubuntu 10.10. I freshly installed Ubuntu almost a week ago and everything was great right off the bat. However, tonight I am having a small issue. In RhythmBox, I went into the Preferences section and went to check the quality level of the the CD Quality, Lossy profile (the ones that uses ogg) and it is missing from the Preferred Formats list. If I click the Edit button, I see it in the list of available profiles along with many others and it is set to active. Why would it not be in the Preferred Formats list, and more importantly, how could I get it back in the Preferred Formats list so I can rip a CD with it? Just as a side note, RhythmBox is playing ogg files without problem.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
