Best way is to run it from a term. Just 'mldonkey', then it will prompt you to
start the gui. Once in the GUI, you can set it to start the GUI automatically.
This is assuming you installed the GUI, which is a seperate package. If not, do:
urpmi mldonkey-gui
Reason why it's best to run from a term: that way, when you want to quit
MLDonkey, you just close the GUI and then ctrl-c in the term to stop the
console/daemon/background process ('mlnet'). Saves you having to do a 'killall
mlnet'.

Sorry, right, if it barfs on that one, that's where you have to set tvnorm and vfr. When it *does* fail without specifying the tvnorm, it will have the framerate of the video in the output, check that to make sure you are using the right vfr value. This is why I always try running the script first without the tvnorm and vfr specified. I don't seem to have the sound-syncing problem, though the one exception was really strange: the video came in two parts, each 700 MB, clearly encoded by the same person, at least by the filename; encoded to SVCD, the first CD the sound was out of sync by a maybe half a second, the second CD was fine. Downloaded a different version of the same CD1, same out-of-sync. On my third try right now. Sheesh. Anyhow, from what I've heard from Tom Brinkman on this issue is that you are pretty much at the mercy of whomever encoded the original DivX. You might try changing your sources, maybe try MLDonkey instead. Prolly not as fast as the transfers from usenet, but I've pretty fair luck getting everything I want, and with that one exception, they've encoded perfectly. > If I could keep the dialog from being out of sync, I'd pretty much have > things cooking rather well.

Maybe others will comment too. Basically it's a four step process - at least the way I do it, which may not mean much, since I have only done it a few times, and have a little difficulty getting the audio to synchronize right (it's like maybe a second or two off). You'll need a few tools like mjpegtools, vcdimager, mplayer. I use a script (which I'll attach) to automate the first step of the conversion, although it seems it could go all the way through to actually burning the CDs. Steps are as follows: 1) run script mencvcd to convert the DVD into two files (mpa & mpv) for the DVD in question. Command line might go something like this: 'mencvcd carter dvd://1 -sid 0 -aid 128 -ss 3:00 -frames 1500 \ -noburn -vnorm n -vfr 1' all on one line of course. Drop the --frames and -ss part since yuou just want to do the entire movie, although you might as well do just a short part in the beginning to make sure things work - doing the whole movie takes several hours. 2) use mplex to multiplex the audio and video from these mpa and mpv files. The result will be one or more files that contain the various parts of the CD.

I have about 54 OSs, all of which I know how to use, and I STILL use Linux. Damn near 10,000 dollars in software and I pick the free one lol. I have Solaris, which is nice, but I have no sparc station, and the X86 version seems to be slower. I also have Windows 1.0 - Server 2003. And I also have PC-DOS 6.3 on the original floppies they came on. Not bad for someone who has only had a computer for 4 years now huh ;) I have BeOS pro 5.0 too. -- __ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
