If you're on Linux or some other UNIX, you DON'T want to have spaces in directory or file names. It breaks things! Disagree. Spaces are perfeclty legal in UNIX filenames. Yep. Some non-printable characters are legal, too, if I am not mistaken. Non-printable characters in file names can trick the user. White-spaces in file names can cause interesting things in shell scripts. I don't know what POSIX requires, but most modern file-systems that Linux supports allow any byte sequence as long as it doesn't contain the directory separator (i.e. the slash). Not all legal filenames are wise file names. That's no reason why a piece of software should place additional constrains. UNIX Software, which doesn't support all legal UNIX filenames, is broken. Most shells are broken in that sense. And that's quite annoying. Broken in what way? It would be nice to get them fixed where possible. I mostly use bash and save for my own mistakes, I've never had problem escaping file names. Besides, an application shouldn't rely in the shell parsing the command-line, it should pass each argument in a string, as someone else already pointed out in this thread.

[CinCVS] quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed
Hello, Cinelerra is failing to load a video encoded with XviD and gives the following error message: virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*): quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed, result: I've found references to this error message on every major Linux distribution's mailing list and even twice in your bug tracking system. However, everyone who's been complaining reports to still be able to playback the loaded video. I'm not so lucky, since in my case less the playback stops after less than a second in a video that is 15-20 minutes long. The videos are reported by file(1) as: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz) Gstreamer and xine can play these videos perfectly on this system. I'm using Christian Marillat's Debian package of version 2.1.0~svn20071125 on Debian/unstable for i386. I've followed the shmem recommendation. I'm kind of at loss on what to do now. I don't need to do anything fancy. These videos are years old and were encoded by a friend on Linux, I don't think there is another source for them. I just need to crop some parts of the video with audio on-sync. Every other video editor I've tried (Lives, Open Movie Player, pitivi (not really an editor it seems)) has given me some trouble of its own. Any suggestions on how to do exactly this would be very welcome. At this stage I'm even willing to do the clipping/cropping from the command-line, if necessary. I could make this video available if it would help assess the bug, but it's almost 200 MB and thus I couldn't host it publicly. -- Javier Kohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: blashyrkh #2361802 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Esta parte del mensaje está firmada digitalmente
