transcode
I had this great movie (from Ron Fedkiw), which, unfortunately was encoded with the MPEG-4 Video High Speed Compressor (fourcc MPG4).
Because I wanted to change the codec, I tried to install transcode.
GnuPG
Well, I’ve finally entered into the secret world of public key encryption and digital signatures with Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG).
My PGP Public Key (id 0xAC64ADE2) is available here.
DVD movies with xine
Got my xine to play encrypted dvd’s on my home pc!
I had the xine and xine-dvdnav packages installed, but it refused to play CSS encrypted VOB-files. So I tried to install libdvdcss2. This library needed libdvdread2. However, I probably downloaded the wrong version, because when I tried to install that, it complained about me having a too old libc6 version.
I didn’t what to update that, so I tried something else… and I found the d4d plugin. Just ./configure; make; make install.
Yeah right…!
Porting from SGI to Linux
OK, I’ve got the RWB VRX library working under Linux!
Eeeh? Say what?
The Responsive Workbench library with the Virtual Reality eXplorer!
We’ve got this Virtual Reality Workbench running on a SGI Onyx2, and one of our PhD students, Michal Koutek, wrote a library, based on SGI’s Performer, for building applications for this machine.
