Day 29 – Sound Go Bye Bye, I go KDE
August 29th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
Well here is the second to last day of this experiment. And I have to say I will be staying with Linux for a while longer. I enjoy the little challenges. However one that really got me right now is my sound just up and quit. GAH!
I still have the ability to transfer stuff to my iPod with no issue, but I can’t listen to MP3′s on the laptop or even watch videos for that matter. What did I do wrong? I know I must have killed something, but I cannot find out where. BACKUP TIME! Read the rest of this entry »

Day 13 – Rip, Transcode, Warzone!
August 13th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
We last left off with ripping a DVD using dvd::rip. It really took it about an hour to rip it from the CD to my Hard drive. But it only rips the files into VOB format. In order to play on another machine or for me to burn the movie onto a DVD I need it to be encoded into an AVI file, so I transcoded the video within dvd::rip. After about 2 hours of doing that, I had a perfect 1.5GB AVI (it was a 2 1/2 hour movie so it was expected).
The issue I had with ripping movies in the past is the sound didn’t sync with the video. It was like watching an old Kung Fu movie but more annoying for the audio. You”d hear a bang and then see it 5 seconds later. Not good.

Day 10 – Second Life?
August 10th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
Ok so we last left off with Regnum Online giving me issues. I compiled new drivers for the ATI 7500 and rebooted. Then I tried running Regnum Online again. Same stupid Error Message cam up. Frustrated I sent a help request for their tech support folks. Not holding my breath.
Feeling a need to play a MMO type game I gave in and installed Second Life. Call me a loser now, LOL. If you are on Second Life, add me as a friend VooDooStevie Mixmaster is the name of my character on there.
