HD Video in Ubuntu, I Kid You Not!! For the Ubuntu and Linux tribes that can over-shoot my experience by several magnitudes, you guys (More) For the Ubuntu and Linux tribes that can over-shoot my experience by several magnitudes, you guys know what you know.. I'm making this video for the rest of us people who have never been able to get Linux work successfully on our machines, and for those who can't afford to keep shelling out money for Microsoft applications and operating systems.. UBUNTU IS THE ANSWER PEOPLE..
Okay this little video, is an attempt to show you that I really do have HD quality content running on this Monitor.. The monitor is a IBM 22" CRT, I purchased from Tiger Direct a ways back, on rebate, for 150 dollars (cost 75 dollars to ship).. That's on the right.. And it has a maximum resolution of something like 1960x1600 or so, thats something like the maximum HDTV resolution..
On the left is my ViewSonic 17" (I think it is a 19", I forget).. It's your basic flatpanel LCD..
I'm using a 150 dollar high-speed NVidia card, a 6800XT to run both of them.. Used a digital camera with basic video support to videotape this demonstration.
Video was converted from MJPEG, a common video format that is literally JPEG images concatenated together, to OGG video format (using a Linux program called "OggConvert"). To install OggConvert required no effort at all in Ubuntu.. I just went to the "OggConvert" website, went to download and downloaded the line with ".deb" on the end, which is what debian packages are named. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it was easy, just download and go.. Installations on Ubuntu are much less oainful than windows.. For instance, when you install a package that requires other programs to be installed, rather than having to install each program seperately, Ubuntu's package managers orchestrate the installation of all the packages required.. Windows does this for some things, but it doesn't do it so well..
And to uninstall a package is pretty easy too.. I just go into the package manager (what you'd call the "add/remove programs" tool in windows) and just select "installed apps", then put in a keyword to narrow down to the application you want to uninstall, then check of the application and click "Apply".. In windows its about as simple, but sometimes the applications will no uninstall.. In windows you would then need to open up regedit, and drive down into the registry keys to delete all remnants of the application you are trying to deinstall, then to remove the application from c:\program_files\ .. Yuck..
In Ubuntu, pretty straightforward.. I've installed and deinstalled packages in ubuntu tens of times.. Since I'm new to Ubuntu, I have locate tools that approximate my environment on Windows..
What makes it easier for me, is I was using open source applications on Windows before I made the transition to Ubuntu.. All the open source applications will be available on Ubuntu, because clue, they are open source, they are not closed-source applications like Windows is in it's entirety.. Closed-source applications are closed because people make money off of them.. Open source applications are forever here and available.. How do they get built? A number of ways..
Open Office for example.. How did that Microsoft Office replacement get built? Volunteers, Companies that used to waste lots of moolah paying for Office and figured they could hire their own programming staff to write something similar to Office.. Note, Open Office was created by Sun, this was the idea, they figured they had better software developers in-house, they asked the question "why pay Microsoft, a competitor of ours, money to get what we could code up in no time at all?" Well it took longer than no time at all, but ten years later, a mature Office like environment with word processor, spreadsheet, drawing tool and presentation system.. Note, Open Office is based partially on Java, and is fairly portable to any computer..
I'm using an application called KWord, which is like several other word processors available on Linux.. What it does that Open Office's word processor doesn't do for me, it lets me thumb through 6000 fonts, I'm looking to make a logo for my site http://www.chann3lz.com/ which is a youtube mashup (check it out).
Anyhow, I used Kword, to try out several postscript and truetype fonts.. Ubuntu, BTW, can support True-type fonts natively.. So if you are sad that you can't get your MSWord documents to loook and print the way they are on windows, just get a copy of the TTF fonts from Windows, or something like them, put them into the "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" directory in Ubuntu, and you are good to go.. The Trutype fonts will be visible in any Ubuntu application you use..
If that doesn't work, try installing fft2pt1, it's a trutype to postscript 1 font converter..
Anyhow, Linux is not really a desert of unsupported applications.. It's not void of any life. It's got tons of stuff, some applications that are unique to it even..
Oh, and other open source applications that you can get on Ubuntu:
Firefox (of course, and every extension you can get for Windows Firefox you can get on Ubuntu).. Adobe Flash will install too from Ubuntu's Firefox.. Thunderbird (the open source mail application that replaces the bug-ridden Outlook and Eudora).. If you really need Eudora BTW, get Wine and Wine-Doors you can install Eudora in Wine.. I haven't I got Opera and Firefox for Windows running though..
Filezilla (which a replacement for WS-FTP, and similar FTP tools in Windows).
GVIM (I'm a vi user, GVIM is natively supported in Ubuntu). For those looking for a good text editor for web work or programming that is smart enough to colorize parts of syntax, GVIM supports over 80 different languages including PHP, Perl, C, CSS, HTML, etc..
Apache/PHP/MySQL (the most common web development environment in the world, it's best on a linux machine).
Democracy TV/Player (its like iTunes podcast area but more laid back).
PDF viewers.. Open Office, bunches of stuff.. Okay I'm in a hurry to get to bed.. (Less)
