I'm guessing I'll issue a yum --install x11-video-nvidiaG01 with the commas "," ? and then nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default mohamba__, if I had wanted ntsc that would be: tovid -dvd -ntsc -normalize -quality 9 -in alsakidsvideo.avi -out alsakidsoutput or maybe I should do a yum upgrade or yum update first finished up a netinstall last nite.. mohamba__, alsakidsvideo.avi is the input video and alsakidsoutput is the output.mpg right i know how to do it from the command line but i dont want to type the command 24 times i just want to add the files all at once then leave I would think it would update all the packages performing a fresh netinstall , I don't see why it wouldn't, it wouldn't make any sense to download and install outdated packages and then update all the packages you waited over 2 hours to download and install :-) <-- kriko_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) you mean batch converting right clint-: Why the hell are you using yum? Chrysantine: , I am a power user ,and I prefer the command line mohamba__, I was trying to convert a 2GB non-dvd compliant mpeg this morning into a dvd compliant mpeg and it had a problem about 3/4 way thru, creating only a 1.3GB file and chopping off the end. The problem occured when audio was being multiplexed back into video. I have not had time to investigate it yet as I did with mandrake/mandriva, debian , gentoo, fedora, etc <-- DiogenesW has quit (Quit: Diogenes von Wien geht) !zypper @ clint- clint-: Jesus christ. clint-: zypper is the easy to use commandline interface to the YaST (openSUSE PM pattern) package management. See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper clint-: I told you once to stop using other distribution methods and tools. dont' Jesus Christ me, thats not how i look at it, and I take offense to that clint-: Now fucking stop it. mohamba__, gosh no need to type 24 times, at least not entire line. Just use the arrow and tab keys ... reduces typing Chrysantine!*@* added to ignore list. ignored yeah, zypper is pretty swift --- ChanServ gives channel operator status to Chrysantine You have been kicked from #suse by Chrysantine (ConfuseUs said: Man who fights woman, gets no peace at night.)
