Day 46 – Back to Gnome
September 16th, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
Well KDE does has its flaws I guess. My podcast is music based and I get CD’s all the time from artists through Ariel Publicity and in order to put them into my show I need to extract the CD’s into an MP3 format.
Now I know I can rip to OGG or FLAC and convert them to MP3 using Audacity, LAME, and a shit load of other convertors, but that is 1 extra step! I’ve tried Sound-Juicer and K3B and looked at tutorials for each of them and still no go!
So I went back to Gnome. Long Live the Foot!
Day 23 – Whole Lotta nothin
August 23rd, 2009 | Author: VooDooStevie
Played a little Second Life and updated the iPod. I noticed that I need to shut off the screenlets and Conky in order to play the games otherwise I get a flash where they are because the update rate. I think the extra effects are causing slow downs as well so I shut them off when I am playing a game, but turning it all back on is simple really.
Still bummed about the mixer. Thinking of picking up a headset soon as I can. Just can’t right now. Maybe I will pull out the original USB mic I used on the show MANY moons ago.

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.
