This might be a 'non-free' issue. i've not looked at any codec settings. maybe you can test from your RO/S dvd? Is that a .mpg? It's not my DVD unfortunately. However the file REV_OS_trailer.mpg (18M) is downloadable from here: http://www.revolution-os.com/musicvideo.html I assume it is the same one. mplayer plays it fine. totem plays it fine, using xine I assume. I haven't ever had much luck with gstreamer, never needed it. The file is a very basic mpeg-1 stream. If a given media player cannot play it, it doesn't deserve that description. I see that gstreamer has many plugins, that all seem to be packaged separately. Maybe there is a gst plugin that you need? I see one in my packaging system called gst-plugins-ffmpeg and another called gst-plugins-mpeg2dec. The latter is described as Libmpeg2 based decoder plug-in for gstreamer. mplayer tells me that it is using libmpeg2 to decode the file, so gstreamer may work if gst-plugins-mpeg2dec is installed.

OT: Recommendations for PC Speakers
Hi there, I'm looking to replace my pc's aging 4.1 speakers with something bright, shiny and new, and wondered if anyone could recommend some decent speakers for a reasonable price. I'd read good things about the TDK Tremor series when they came out a year or two back, but I haven't kept up with the current state of play. I've got a SoundBlaster Live! Value card with both front and rear speaker outputs, but I don't want or need any more than a 2.1 system this time around, as I never watch movies or play games, so surround sound is a waste of money. I play the occasional mp3, but I'm more concerned about music composition and playback, so decent sound is a must. Thanks for any ideas :-) .

Help with sed
I've got several large files that require some repetitive multiline search and replace operations, and I feel sure that sed can do this, but I can't figure out how to do it. The pattern I'm searching for in the input file is Type=0x21 followed by Label=abcde on the next line, where abcde is a 5 character number with leading spaces. If abcde is a multiple of 100, (d=0, e=0) I want to replace the first line with Type=0x22, and add a third line EndLevel=1 For example: BEFORE: AFTER: Type=0x21 Type=0x21 # No change required because Label= 120 Label= 120 # Label not multiple of 100 blah, blah blah, blah Type=0x21 Type=0x22 # Change Type value Label= 100 Label= 100 blah, blah EndLevel=1 # Insert extra line blah, blah Type=0x21 Type=0x22 # Same as previous except Label= 2200 Label= 2200 # different value for Label blah, blah EndLevel=1 blah, blah The bit that's got me stumped is how to handle the Label line. Can someone please give me hint how to do this? Tom
Re: Help with sed
Type=0x21 Type=0x22 # Same as previous except Label= 2200 Label= 2200 # different value for Label blah, blahEndLevel=1 blah, blah The bit that's got me stumped is how to handle the Label line. Can someone please give me hint how to do this? The problem I have with sed is that it's line oriented, not record oriented, and your job is record oriented. (Personally I'd use gawk.) It can be a pain to match across lines in sed, but it's possible in GNU sed. The match condition I'd try for the label line is whether the number ends in 2 zeros. You'd have to match all from the type= to the label= in one expression, and if matched, perform one or more search/replaces, and write out the result with any additional stuff you want appended after label= . You can ignore any text following label= in the same record. Does that help?
