[CinCV] OT bluray players
Hello all Sorry for the OT but I thought I might raise a concern that I have. Might be useful as many of us are using HD, AVCHD So here is my question : is it just me or the discs I am "producing" cinelerra / multiavchd (windows) and nero for Linux seem to work at random on different players. The main 2 brands Sony and panasonic clearly explain that BD-R may just not work. Which I find a bit hard to swallow. Anyone else with the same sort of bad experience ? Thanks Edouard
RE: [CinCV] cinelerra startup error in Ubuntu 10.10 64bit
As I said in my previous note, I updated the Ubuntu packages (cinelerra-ppa) so no user intervention is required. I suggest you give it a try.

Most often I use mouse copy and paste (dragging/highlighting for copying, middle button or wheel click for pasting). I noticed though that after pasting, very often the title is visible in the text field but not in the Compositor. If I close the titler and open it again, the text has gone. To make my pasting stable, I have to enter at least one character with the keyboard. Ciao!

Re: [CinCV] About title plugin
Hi all, ...instead of just ranting ;-) I should better point out that basically the text visible in the titler is stored in plain text format in the Session-XML, within the respective Keyframe element of the Titler. Basically this allows us to put any character there just with an text editor. Of course, the used character encoding must match the one set in Cinelerra, and we can't exceed the size limit... Cheers, Hermann PS: here the usual warning applies when mucking around with your Session-XML: please make sure you have a backup of the file available, and of course, you have to close the Cinelerra Application and open an re-load it after doing manual edits. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Also you can't use them to enter values numerically, which is often sort of an impediment. As far as I know the code, in Cinelerra every such special keybinding needs to be hard coded for each and every widget to use it. I.e. you have to write code of the style "if key x is pressed..." (somewhat simplified, but you get the idea). The compositor has such a hard-coded binding to map the playback-functions to the numpad. > > But, as I said, I do have problems with special characters that are not on my > keyboards.

Cinellerra is usefull enough anyway :) Cheers, Hermann ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCV] About title plugin
The keypad is used to play etc ... but if you enable "num lock"would have to run the numbers, I think. 2011/1/3 Ron Sparks > On Sunday 02 January 2011 17:37:18 julien.cyno...@free.fr wrote: > > >>> I can't use the numpad, tough. > > > > > > Pressing the numpad keys doesn't have any effect on the titler.

Re: [CinCV] cinelerra startup error in Ubuntu 10.10 64bit
Thanks, Hermann! I did run 'echo "0x7fff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax' as root, but Cinelerra crashed when I tried to edit some videos.

Hi Paul Chang, the most simple fix is right below your nose: do as Cinelerra tells you! | Before running Cinelerra, do the following as root | | echo "0x7fff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax This command tells your OS kernel to allow individual programs to use more shared memory, which is what Cinelerra needs. Because such a setting could be used for a denial-of-service-attack, only the root user is allowed to do such a setting. Thus, at a console, you call "sudo -i" to get a "root console" and there you can issue this command. Which creates kind of a twist. Not every user is capable of running this command. Moreover it gets annoying if you have to do it every time you boot your computer again. Thus, from here on there are several options to make your life better and let Cinelerra complain less... - put it somewhere into the system configuration, so this command is executed at boot automatically - write a wrapper script to start Cinelerra - some pre compiled packages even install such an wrapper script automatically (if I recall correct, the "Akirad" packages do this). Now it's a bit difficult to help you further without knowing your skill level. How familiar are you with unix like operating systems? Do you know how to write a little shell script? Do you know how to handle the Unix permissions? Maybe someone else on the list can give more informations about a precompiled packages (I compiled Cinelerra myself, thus I can't say much about that topic) Greetings, Hermann V. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
