How to run Opera 10 for Windows in Linux (like Ubuntu 9.10) with Wine

Stream Recorder — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:38:58 GMT

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems like Linux and Mac OS. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.

How to install Opera for Windows in Linux like Ubuntu 9.10

Install Wine using Ubuntu Software Center, your favorite package manager or from Terminal:

Code:

sudo app-get install wine
Download Opera for Windows.
Right-click on the downloaded file and select "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader"
Install Opera (the same way you usually install any Windows software)

How to run Opera for Windows in Ubuntu 9.10
I was expecting to go to the launch Opera like any other Windows application from the Wine group:

Go to Applications -> Wine -> Programs -> Opera and select Mozilla Firefox

But Opera didn't create any shortcuts for me, so I launched it from the command line instead:

How to record HDMI Output of video game?

any ANONYMOUS forum user — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:54:01 GMT

My friends and I having a bit of a dilemma here. We want to record direct game footage of Halo3, but we don't have many ideas to make it cost effective. I was hoping if anyone with experience could share their ideas with me.

Being that we'd be capturing game footage from a cabinet, we're dealing with a DVI output. The ultimate goal would be to get the footage on to my laptop so I can encode the videos with live commentary as well. Using a DVI to VGA converter and plugging that into a VGA capture device seems to be the best option, but those apparently cost $350 or more. Is there a better way?

My laptop does have an HDMI port, but to my limited understanding it's only output and not bi-directional (unless there's some trick to this).

Any and all help, input, and advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

How to connect PDA (Windows Mobile device) with Windows 7 and sync contacts, calendar

Stream Recorder — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:30:13 GMT

I installed Windows 7 beta on my desktop. It appeared to be much better than Windows Vista which lived for 2 weeks only on my PC. However I was still disappointed by the speed as well as many other things.

I was particularly interested to see Microsoft's Windows Mobile device support. I was expecting to plug-in my PDA without installing any software, but after connecting my AT&T Tilt all I got was an error that my device wasn't recognized.

A little bit disappointed I went to the Start menu and tried to type "Windows Mobile", but found nothing!!!

It appeared that Windows Mobile Device Center needs to be downloaded and installed. Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 is only compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7; if you run Windows XP or earlier, you have to download Microsoft ActiveSync. Windows Mobile Device Center supports Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 SE, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 6.5, Windows Embedded CE 6.0. It won't work with Windows Embedded CE 4.2 or 5.0, Pocket PC 2002, or Smartphone 2002 devices.

You also need Microsoft Outlook 2002, 2003 or 2007 to sync your e-mail, contacts, tasks, and notes from your computer.

Download Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 from Microsoft web-site:
32-bit version | 64-bit version

Although I was able to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook, I didn't manage to access Internet from my Windows Mobile device when connected to Windows 7, although it worked just fine in Windows XP.

How to kill wine application with kill command from command line

Stream Recorder — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:52:18 GMT

Type the following in the Terminal:

Code:

ps axwww | grep KEYWORD

This will show a list of processes that have KEYWORD in them.

Example: Killing Replay Media Catcher from command line:

Code:

admin@admin-desktop:~$ ps axwww | grep Replay

15864 ?        Sl     0:01 C:\Program Files\Replay Media Catcher\MediaCatcher.exe                                                                 

15903 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto Replay

Look for the lowest number process id (the first column) that says something like "C:\Program Files\Replay Media Catcher\MediaCatcher.exe"

Then use this number to kill the process with (kill -9 PROCESS_NUMBER):

Code:

admin@admin-desktop:~$kill -9 15864

admin@admin-desktop:~$ ps axwww | grep Replay

15903 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto Replay

How to restart Wine (if you can't close a process/application)

Stream Recorder — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:26:30 GMT

Restarting (rebooting) Wine automatically
Open the Terminal and run:

Code:

wineboot

wineboot initiates a "virtual" reboot, when Windows applications call for a real reboot.

Restarting (rebooting) Wine manually
In Terminal run:

Code:

theprovince.com: Ripping an RTMP stream with rtmpdump... going nowhere

7ni4UnAsuA — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:12:49 GMT

I've used rtmpdump before successfully for example, to rip stream clips from CBC.ca . Right now I'm trying to rip a video from theprovince.ca website, this video here

Code:

http://www.theprovince.com/news/videos/index.html#GH4BFo7oIg2Ly_qFrdAhA2GI4duw6xyt

I've read all the threads in this section to get a run-down on some of the more advanced techniques. From what I gather this is my full version command line:

How to play Blu-Ray video in Ubuntu 9.10

Stream Recorder — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:40:57 GMT

To play Blu-Ray video in Ubuntu, you need to decrypt files first.

The "AACS" Digital Rights Management system on all Blu-Ray discs attempts to stop consumers from exercising fair use rights, including:

Playing films using standard digital (DVI) or analog (VGA) cables and monitors, which generally do not support HDCP encryption, without a 75% reduction in resolution.
Playing purchased Blu-Ray movies using open source software.
Fast forwarding or skipping advertisements.
Playing imported films, including when local equivalents may be overpriced or not available.

Blu-Ray player applications require their unique player (or "device") key to play discs. These keys are issued by AACS-LA to approved manufacturers that implement the restrictions mentioned above. This player key can decrypt volume key of each movie, which in turn can decrypt the content of the movie to play it.

However the AACS DRM is ineffective and does not successfully prevent any of these things, because:

Player keys for all Windows based software players, such as PowerDVD are known publicly. These can be used to find the volume keys for discs that don't have newer keys than those discovered. While these applications now have new keys (and future HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs won't play with the old keys), it's likely the new key will be discovered too as all players must store their keys in memory at some point.
The volume keys needed to play many released movies are known publicly. Even without a licensed player key, Linux HD-DVD and Blu-Ray software can use these to play discs.

For Ubuntu 9.x you will need MPlayer and FFMPEG. Ubuntu 9.10 contains a version of Mplayer that is capable of reading decrypted Blu-ray files.

Many Blu-Ray discs use DRM protection. To decrypt such discs you can use DumpHD. You will also need a current keydb.cfg file, which contains the decryption keys required to your movie.

If DumpHD cannot rip your disc, you can try the MakeMKV. This program contains a decryption key that has not been revoked, and may have more success in ripping your disc. MakeMKV is not as advanced at removing the BD+ protection on certain discs.

Please note that you will need up to 50GB of free hard disk space to store Blu-Ray video on your hd.

To remove decryption from a Blu-Ray disc, insert it into your drive and run DumpHD

Code:

sudo ./dumphd.sh
Select the disc as the source (a directory somewhere beneath "/media/Movie Name" and a directory like "/tmp" to save the movie content.
You can proceed onto the next step once .m2ts has started decrypting.
Play the the decrypted movie from your hard disk with mplayer, specifying the video codec:

Code:

mplayer -fs -vo xv -demuxer lavf "/tmp/movie_name/XXX.m2ts
If you can't play the file, the disc might be protected with BD+. Try to remove BD+ first.

HOWTO insert video keying on the fly in streaming videos

pofpof98 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:36:53 GMT

Hi
I would to insert (on the fly) viewer information inside the streaming video as video keying.
At this time the only way to have this feature is to duplicate the video source for all the subscribed viewers before it is delivered which can cause heavy server activity and big disk space.
I am looking for a streaming server solution that could do the job on the fly by simply mixing the original video source with the viewer profile as video keying (like "This video is dedicated to M.Smith")
Can anyone help ?

How to play Blu-Ray discs with Media Player Classic

Stream Recorder — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:10:53 GMT

It is possible to play Blu-Ray discs with Media Player Classic after insalling filters mentioned below. Please note that you need to decrypt your files first using software like AnyDVD HD.

There are several variations of Blu-Ray files that are used:

.m2ts files,
MPEG-2,
VC1,
MPEG-4 AVC

How to set up Media Player Classic to play Blu-Ray discs
Select View -> Options -> External filters

Add filter "Haali Media Splitter (AR)", Set merit 00900000, Set Prefer
Add Filter "ffdshow audio decoder", Set merit 00700000
Add filter "cyberlink H.264/AVC Decoder", Set merit 00900400
Add Filter "Sonic Cinemaster Audio Decoder 4.3.0", Set merit 00805000
Add Filter "ffdshow video decoder", Set merit 00800000 (late fix to stop ffdshow taking over from cyberlink)
Add Filter "Sonic Cinemaster Video Decoder", Set merit 00700000 (late fix to stop Cinemaster Video taking over from ffdshow video)
* Add Filter "Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (pdvd7), set merit "prefer" (Try this for some hardware acceleration in Windows XP)
* Add Filter "Nvidia Video Decoder", Set merit "Prefer" (block cyberlink) (try this for hardware acceleration in Windows XP/Vista if you have Nvidia Purevideo)

Select View -> Options -> Internal filters

Deselect any mpeg, matroska from the source list
Deselect any AC3, mpeg from the transport filter list

How to set up Windows Media Player 11 to play Blu-Ray discs

Windows Media Player v11
cl264dec.ax (Video) (cyberlink H264/AVC Decoder from PowerDVD)
splitter.ax (Haali media splitter (AR) from Haali Matroska splitter)
cinemaster audio.dll (Audio)(Sonic Cinemaster Audio Decoder v 4.3 from Cineplayer Codec Pack)
ffdshow.ax (Audio)(ffdshow audio decoder from FFDshow)

Alternative method of playing Blu-Ray discs using Arcsoft filters from Arcsoft Totalmedia Extreme
Download and install the free version of Arcsoft Totalmedia Extreme and

Add filter "Arcsoft MPEG Demux", Set to "Prefer"
Add filter "Arcsoft Video Decoder", Set to "Prefer"
Add filter "Arcsoft Audio Decoder HD", Set to "Prefer"
BLOCK any other splitter/demuxers you already have in your external filter list

Now you can play Blu-Ray discs with Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player. Please note that this requires a lot of processor power.

Advantages of using Media Player Classic

Full resolution screen capture of the movie
You can zoom the movie to get rid of the black bars (numpad key 9)
You don't need an approved graphics card, almost any PCI-e card will work (Nvidia 7300 at 80% CPU)
You don't have to waste time with menus, trailers and adverts

Disadvantages of using Media Player Classic

Minimum processor Core2duo
No Dolby TrueHD tracks available using Haali splitter (You can Nero Audio Decoder 2 and Nero Splitter, but it requires the purchase of the HD-DVD/Blu-ray plug-in for Nero 7)
Not very good with AGP graphics cards
