More Ubuntu Gayness!

and subtitles, from my Firewire connected external DVD writer! Took a
couple shots. The old PC had just USB 1.0 connections, so long ago I threw
in a Firewire card. It actually reconized the silly DVD writer the minute I
plugged it in. I also managed to get it to play some DIVX files with
subtitles. Wooo!!!
2. I then tried to boot my laptop with the Ubuntu Live CD. It actually
worked, but wasn't able to get to the wireless network I have floating
around here. Kinda hard to download drivers and new applications when you
can't even GIT to teh intarwebs! Dunno what I'm gonna do about that. I
don't want to repartition and install permanently to the HD if I can't get
teh wireless working.
Heh, a lot of the web articles for troubleshooting wireless tell you to go
here and there and install wireless managers and drivers, but if you are
OFFLINE, t'aint possible. I may have to plug the thing wiredly and do some
more hair pulling.
Now I need to find a good Linux video editing package like Windows Movie
Maker. Simple and something that doesn't just save in OGG THEORA format.

I have no idea what Windows Movie Maker is like, but you might want to
look into Cinelerra: http://cvs.cinelerra.org
I've used this video editor a little (and even provided a few patches to
the developers) so if you have questions I could probably answer them for
you.

I've done one successful thing with Cinelarra, combining three short
Bryce videos of the same thing, with one track acting as a mask.
Now, if only I could FIND the file I created ... (Not expecting help
with that ...)

Expect the unexpected!
Have you tried re-loading the project file (toward the bottom of the "File"
menu) and then looking at the Render dialog? There might be a full
pathname to the output file at the top of the Render dialog.
If you remember the name of the file you can open a terminal window
and type in "locate <filename>" or if you want to get fancy, "find / -name
<filename>"

I might try that, next time I'm in that system. So far, I've used
Cinelarra only on laptops booted from a dyne:bolic CD, so the resulting
file may be hiding in a .nst file, which can't be read by other OSes.
Hey, for the next time I run this, could you list the movie file types
Cinelarra can open? It's always hit or miss for me, and is part of my
juggling among multiple flavors of multiple OSes, 'cuz for each OS, I
have programs that can display some movie formats, but not others.
And by the time I get the program to work, I've been through a lot of
false starts and shuttling files among systems, so I've probably had a
lot of beer (at least).

Okay, I kinda meant, what is/are the IDEAL types that it's most happy
with?
I remember that page from the first time around, especially:
"If it crashes when loading a Quicktime movie that means the format
probably was not supported. "
Artemia Salina
I think MPEG4 files are the best supported.
You can convert arbitrary file formats/codecs to ones that Cinelerra can
use with various utilities such as mencoder (part of Mplayer package),
ffmpeg, or transcode, etc.
See the section on re-encoding Cinelerra source material:
