This is probably related to your DVD issues also affecting lsdvd and dvdinfo. What's dvd://? I've never seen that method of a URI before. Inserting a DVD in my Inspiron 4150 automounts it as /media/cdrom0 dvd://title is mplayer/mencoder's syntax for accessing DVDs. Some more information on the complete syntax is available here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/dvd.html Will it then encode just one VOB file, or will it somehow know that the movie is split across eight or nine of them? VOB files are just containers. You don't need to deal with them directly. Background info available here: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f72/tutorial-dvd-video-file-structure-77646/#post476300 I may well, at some point, do a Gtk+ GUI which shows DVD thumbnails and chapter information to make this easier; but if anyone got there before me, I'd be *very* happy to give them svn access to mediautils.garage.maemo.org. Better, given that there is usually only one movie per DVD, add an option that says table-encode -p whatever -fromdvd myfilm.avi Possibly. This'd introduce a dependency on lsdvd to find the largest title, but it's certainly doable. I'll add it to the TODO list. If you're doing this from a DVD, which I assume is by far and away the most common scenario, is it possible to make tablet-encode work out what file to start at? Personally, I use the DVD ripping less than I use it for re-encoding videos I've already got. I think the best way, TBH, would be to allow a syntax like: tablet-encode dvd:// myfilm.avi or tablet-encode /media/cdrom0 myfilm.avi or tablet-encode /dev/dvd myfilm.avi ...and have it a) detect it as a DVD, b) call lsdvd to find the longest track and generate an appropriate URL of the form dvd://track.

MAC Address not accepted in Maemo image loading site
Hello! I tried to input my wlan MAC address from my 770 in maemo image loading site. 1. I know this has been some kind of dev-version of 770, could it be the problem why my gadget number is not validated? 2. I checked the MAC address log from my wifi-router, picked the actual 770 address and used that in maemo download site, did not help. Any comments? Spare MAC addresses that work? ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Thanks: running $ sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh installed the missing libdvdcss2 and now lsdvd works. WTF this isn't automatic is anyone's guess :-) *Usually* the main feature is title 1, so you can do: tablet-encode -p best dvd://1 myfilm.avi Failed to get movie info. This is probably related to your DVD issues also affecting lsdvd and dvdinfo. Yep. Encoding away happily now. Very many thanks for your help. Looks like Ubuntu still has a little way to go before DVDs can be considered playable. Totem still says it has no codec for this DVD (the movie Amelie) despite me having installed *all* those available. Will it then encode just one VOB file, or will it somehow know that the movie is split across eight or nine of them? VOB files are just containers. You don't need to deal with them directly. OK, so one of them *is* a driver for the actual movie, and the VOBs must just get #include'd somehow. Possibly. This'd introduce a dependency on lsdvd to find the largest title, but it's certainly doable. I'll add it to the TODO list. From the look of it you'd better not, if lsdvd is dependent on a libdvdcss2 which is not automatically installed. If you're doing this from a DVD, which I assume is by far and away the most common scenario, is it possible to make tablet-encode work out what file to start at? Personally, I use the DVD ripping less than I use it for re-encoding videos I've already got. This is probably true in the USA, where bandwidth and availability means you can download movies fairly easily. Possibly not so elsewhere.

Announcing releases in maemo lists (was Re: [release] GPE-Sudoku v0.2)

Memo mapper questions
Hello! I use a N770, and have started using Meamo mapper, and find this utterly marvellous! However, a few issues that I have not figured yet - and have not been able to understand from reading the docs that I found. So, with the risk of voicing too simplistic or uniformed questions: I have no points of interest available. I use google maps as well as VE. But where do I find the POI database? Secondly, is there a way to mark a place, for instance the hotel that I am staying in, as a bookmark or home, and as visible reference point on the map? I have used the mapper for exploring some cities, and would find this very useful.
