In the mean time as a work around......install soundconverter and convert your mp4 files to ogg and everything works

thanks much, otherwise I would have really struggled to write one.....never done it before

Ok, thanks Andreas !

sorry, I used Audacity instead of audacity. But anyway it launched ok with no errors to report. But same thing when I try to import a mp4 it crashes.

In a terminal it shows .....ha ha ! But when I launch it from the menu it opens but then when I try to do anything with it.....it crashes.

There is not much other info that I can provide other than when i try to import mp4 files it crashes my Audacity. The first time I tried it crashed, then when I re-launched Audacity it asked if I want to recover the files, I chose to and it did recover the files I had loaded. But after that first try it no longer does any recovery, it just crashes. I did a search of the forums and have seen comments that Audacity just plain works in Pardus without adding any libraries or front/back ends.

I seem to be the only one that has these crashes.......any ideas anyone ?

Yes that is what I needed. I am now enjoying my YouTube Videos on DVD. I want to thank ALL that replied to this thread, I would have never figured it out without all of your replies. I am having a good day and I hope you all do also.

cheers,

I booted up into a different distro and was able to burn the DeVeDe image. But my dvd player replied when I tried to play it. NOW WHAT ??

EDIT: My area is USA/Canada, I have no idea what DeVeDe sets it up as, maybe there are settings in DeVeDe to do this. But I am running out of time for today. If someone knows for sure that DeVeDe has area setting options please let me know in the mean time, other wise I will check it out tomorrow. Or any other comments are WELCOME !!!!

The DeVeDe video creator created the iso, but I get this error when burning the iso using k3b:


that is way over my head.....any ideas anyone ? But we may be on the right track I believe thanks to mpie suggestion
to use DeVeDe, anyway it sort of makes sense to me.

EDIT: oh, I just seen part of the error reported "ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK" does that mean something isn't set up correctly ? I am running k3b as root...

Yes in fact it is a stand alone Dvd player....I will try your suggestion

It tells me this when it first starts to record. They do play just fine using gnome player or kaffeine in the folder. My wild guess is "flv" may not be a recordable video file but what do I know....

I guess YouTube videos (.flv) are not recordable.....bummer !!! It tells me I am missing files.

Andreas

thank you for your prompt reply. I normally use k3b. That documention looks like it is exactly what I need.

I have some YouTube video downloads (.flv) I would like to put on CD. I have never burned videos to a cd, in fact it has been years since I have burned audio cd's which dates back to when I was using Windows seven years ago.

I have done some "google" searches and other digging around but I am still stupid when it comes to figuring out how to records video's. Can someone please give me some suggestions on how to get started ?

This reply should not be off-topic but it may be considered "hijacking". But anyway I would like to make a comment on a situation that I have on two of my computers that may benefit or be of interest to other users.

I have two totally different computers, the only thing that is the same about them is the HD's. Both computers have (2) identical HD;s (500gb) and they are partitioned exactly the same.

One computer has four Linux distros installed on each HD, for a total of eight that I am booting.

The other computer has four distros installed on one of the HD's, but it will not let me add anymore than those four to the second HD. Now, what happened to the theory that one can have four partitions/OS's on each HD in this case ?

Again, I stress, all four of these HD's are all WD sata's, all are partitioned exactly the same......
