Producing Video DVDs
I have produced a number of video dvds using PowerProducer or BurningStudio8 under Windows XP. The basic features are that I can add video clips which can when added provide up to 4 hours of video time. The program produces a main menu with one or more pages in which each video is represented by an icon and a label. Each menu page provided navgation forwards abd backwards and the viewer can choose which video to watch. Is there a similar program available for linux?

Easy-to-find plug 'n' play Linux webcam!
Hi all, yesterday when I was in Dick Smiths I noticed they have their own brand of miniature notebook webcam. On the back, it actually advertises Linux compatibility with kernel 2.6.28! And it really does work. The quality is better than my older camera AND it works with Flash. (It's a UVC device). It appears to also contain an ALSA-compatible microphone but I haven't tested that part yet. So: That's a Dick Smiths webcam, with Linux compatibility advertised on the back. I think it usually sells for $99, but I got it for $70-something. Should be very easy to find: Just look in your nearest Tandy's or Dick Smiths! -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Linux C Compiler to produce windows .EXE files
Hello Folks I have been writing (for fun) a few C programs which I wish to share with friends. All of these friends use MS Windows - although I am working on changing that! What I am after is a C compiler which will run under Ubuntu but produce .EXE binaries. Can any one help ?

wireless woes was ( PSK recovery? )

You should then find the PSK key in plain text in the source page.

However I find that I've misplaced my pre shared key for the network and will prob find it eventually and so was wondering if there are any steps for recovering the psk from one of my other systems as this might be quicker.

I did however find my psk but still can't get that laptop to browse the net. It's clearly connected to the network via wireless however and showing 100 percent. I've tried pinging my other systems from and and it from the other systems. Always a host unreachable comes up. Wireless works fine under vista on the same laptop so so it seems to be an issue with Ubuntu there. Now I'm trying to think what else I can do to troubleshoot it. Already checked that there's no proxy set, i.e. direct connection to the net. Apart from that not sure It will browse via ethernet cable tho James -- The fault of others is easily noticed, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive.
