How do I get VCD/SVCD (which is bin/cue files) all to fit on one DVD-R?

When i download most of my files they are either VCD/SVCD and I usually end up putting (1) movie on (2) cd's. I want to know how I can get the full movie on a dvd-r????

Can someone help me? PLEASE!!! sad.gif

my original demo of nero expired so i downloaded nero 5.5.5.1 from CNET.com. When i go to run it in from the start section on desktop it says my demo has expired from the last demo i had. How do i get to the new demo and how long do these demos last? Also can i still burn MPEG-1 with nero 5.5.5.1?

Okay...I would know how to get the kernel v2.6 after the system is installed, but I'm looking to see exactly how I would do it in the middle of the Gentoo 1.4 installation process...

Can anybody give me a specific step by step? Do you just download the 2.6 instead and do everything else exactly the same?

:?:

Thanks in advance!

I have just submitted this enhancement in bugzilla , see:
http://video.biosdriver.net/?id=8430&comp=nVidia&model=RADEON%209600%20TX%20Family%20(Microsoft%20Corporation)%206.14.10.6462
Here is the text, let me know what you think about it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that suggestions similar to this one had alrady been discussed a lot of time, but before you start complaining please read all i have to say.
The portage system is really powerfull. I'm not using Gentoo becouse i think that optimized packages for my system will be a lot faster than precompiled ones (well, maybe :D ), but becouse:
1) the stable branch is really stable but not too outdated (see Debian)
2) i can configure my gentoo installation as i really want (only the packages i want, the way i want)
3) if i have to install packages like mplayer , or the latest loster, i can do this with no trouble at all
The only drawback is the compiling time. Yes, i can compile in the night, but sometimes i really need to have a package installed immedialy, of simply i don't want to wait ages to have kde compiled on my not too powerfull laptop.
Finally here is the suggestion:
The idea is to create a p2p network where gentoo users can transparently share the already compiled packages.
Considering one package "name_version" (let's say kdebase_3.1.2) this can be different from the others already compiled one (samepackage_sameversion) only in three ways:
I) used optimizations
II) used USE flags
III) linked library's versions used (let's say it may be compiled using pam_0.73 or pam_0.74 as the dependency rule only states => pam_0.73)
IV) gcc compiler used
On point I i think that a lot of gentoo users will be happy to renunce using exotic CFLAGS settings, it they can get the packages already compiled THE way thay want with "standard" optimizations like CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer". Also the gentoo developers team is moving in the direction of defining some "stable&standard" predefined cflags settings for various cpu, as can be inferred from the "CFLAGS/cpuinfo collection project".
Point II should not be that great problem, as the possible combinations of optional USE flags in packages is not that high number. Also it usally happend that there are some "most used" USE flags combinations.
Point III is probably the major one. We have to distinguish between kdebase_3.1.2 compiled upon pam_0.73 and kdebase_3.1.2 compiled upon pam_0.74 (and also between different releases).
Point IV is not a problem as the gcc version used in gentoo doesn't change frequently.
All this system should be based on an existing p2p sharing protocol (maybe adapted) that has to be efficient, fast, scalable, and working also with firewalled users (there are a lot....) (am i asking too much? :D ).
The key point is the number of users adopting this feature (it would be nice to have an entry make.conf under features , like "binary_sharing"=yes), that should be enaugh large to cover all the needed combinations. The good news is that gentoo's user base is currently growing, with the popluraty of the distro, so i think that using this system a user shouldn't have any problem in findind the packages it need with the right characteristic for popoular (and not only) programs. Kde hell could end! :P
All the sharing have to be completely transparent to the user! So, if a user enables this feature in make.conf , the following two things will happend:
A) for every ebuild compile, two files will be generated under an arbitrary directory:
1) the binary package (ebuild with -k option)
2) the description (.desc maybe?) file, with the same name of the binary package, cointaing the three infos needed (optimizations, USE flags, version/revision of the packages the package depend upon).
This way the user actively contribute to the gentoo sharing comunity in a transparent way [an algorythm that deletes obsoletes file shold be added later......]
B) for every ebuild compile, portage automatically search with a query on the p2p gentoo comunity if the requested package is already present, with the required characteristic. If so it download it and install it.
A md5 check should be added later for security reason.
I know that a lot more should be added and discussed, but i need to know what you think of this idea. I also have to add that i don't have the programming experience needed to be a "first line developer" that directly modify portage and the sharing protocol, but i want to contribute for what i'm able to.
I really think that ,as the user base is already very large, this project would be succesfull.
This enhancement could improve a lot the gentoo experience, given the reduced package's installation time, while preserving all the portage excellent features.
For the brave who dared to read me till this point, i thank them! (also sorry for my bad english....)
Hope that this contribution will help the gentoo comunity.
Bye

Hallo Newsgroup,

ich bin absoluter Gentoo Neuling, daher eine typische Newbiefrage, auf die bisher aber noch keine Antwort fand.

Wo kann ich den Downloadserver einstellen? Ich will mir bei einem emerge nicht von einem tausende Kilomenter entferneten Tumbukto Server die Pakete runterladen m?ssen.

An der Uni haben wie einen Gentoo Mirror, den ich gerne nutzen m?chte.
DAnn ahbe ich statt der ~6-25kb/sec ~6MB/sec, was einen signifikanten Geschwindigkeitszuwachs bedeuten w?rde :)
So eine Info w?rde sich auch ganz gut in einer FAQ machen.

Danke f?r Eure Hilfe.

Gru?

Okay... it started with me getting Error 2041 when I tried to watch an MP4 file. MP4's have played all just fine and all others played fine except for these newly downloaded ones.

I cleaned up my registry like what was suggested from a Google Search and then tried changing the mp4 extension to gp3 or 3gp... I forget per another forum.

Neither worked, problem persisted.

Finally I could get it to work on VLC, but the end game was to get it to play on my 360 using TVersity. 360 still could not see the video.

Now, I picked up a video converter called Any Video Converter. Not knowing much, I just clicked "Go" basically and was able to transform the MP4 into a video format both my computer and 360 are cool with... MPEG II and AVI.

The last problem is.... a HUGE drop in video quality. What can I do to assure my converted encodes are as clean and pretty as the initial video?

Go here, download, run in M.E or 98 (worth installing as a second platform just for movies I think, I'mean it's only 600mb) it will be able to run on XP as soon as Divx 5 pro supports XP

Firefox 1.0 PR makes the 64 bit build but, the preferences dialog box does not work, it is stuck on download and won't close. I have to kill -9 firefox to get rid of it.

when it works, it is really fast...

This editor also has a few bugs too, the cursor sticks on the left hand side soemtimes and won't arrow-up ...

Okay.. kind of a weird question, let me explain it before:

So I got this terrible boring job I am actually sitting at at the moment. My work is to answer calls from users in this big corporation, and help them with their PC problems. So... most of the day I sit there just staring at the screen (WinXP yuk...) and surfing in the internet.
So... what shall I do in order to kill time, so the day will end up faster than sitting here and die of boredom?
I can not download anything nor play any games. Just suck up all information I read at any page I get.
What could be nice to do else on the net? I read this forum a lot, but it becomes boring for some time.

Any suggestions what I can do?
