X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 14:46:56 -0000 Hi, Do you have any success extracting mpeg files from a vcd?For sure I can play them with mplayer with vcd option but I haven't had any luck extracting them. I've been trying to figure out how vcdgear(console) or vcdxrip(vcdimager) works but still no luck. Any idea how they work?? I'm using FreeBSD5.3. I have installed them from ports My cdrom drive is at /dev/acd0 Pleaaaasee... I'm begging you... pleaaaseee... I've tried various combinations of options with those programs I've mentioned above but I'm just too dumb that I can't figure out how I should be doing it. I know someday I may be able to comprehend with their manual, its just that I don't have enough time. If I don't return those vcd's to the shop, I will be paying a huge fine:(. Why does it always have to be this way? I was a long time windows user and I know its a tough decision to completely eradicate that entire partition dedicating it all to freebsd, just to be able to learn the "right" way how people should be using a computer. I remember one time, I have been reading the manual of ldconfig over and over again because of some program that doesn't compile not knowing where my libraries are, and I've played with various options trying to restore the hint files I've messed with only to find out that a complete reboot or just "ldconfig" alone will bring it back. I just can't get it. I've had a hard time trying to make my modem dial up to internet, and nearly freaked out trying to compile a new kernel with atapicam support, or even skipped a meal trying to learn the vi editor, and even messed really bad with one of our production servers at work trying to create a cvsup mirror, and worst, I even got a lot of awful response when I try to ask a simple question about running packet filter at openbsd's mailing list where a lot of them said "hey, this is not linux, there's no Linux-Howto's here. RTFM!" I just can't understand it. Why do people have to endure such hardships when they have other choices. What does those people from ports collection gets from maintaining such application that they barely even know if someone have ever looked at its package description. What do you get from responding to these questions. Yeah, you can laugh at me now. I'm pathetic that's it. Open Source is free and free software is good. I'm not an advocate but just a simple user trying to extract these f*ck*ng mpegs out of these damn vcds!! Tomorrow I'll be returning those vcd's to the shop with one day fine, but I won't sleep tonight till I get those mpegs written right on the very surface of my hardrive... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
