Guest Leviticus Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 has anyone tried wine? reviews pls. tia!masarap ang wine lalo na yung matamis na variety at hindi yung maasim. hehe.. seriously.. wine still has a long way to go in terms of emulating windows. for some programs ok ang takbo nya (quickbooks, office, some media players, a few games).

Guest Leviticus Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 i was hoping to use it for some windo$e appz maybe i should try linspiresame din for linspire.. you still have to install Wine. actually, madali lang maginstall sa ubuntu (you're using ubuntu, right?). aayusin mo lang ang mga repositories. galing nga sa ubuntu eh. may menu na agad sa applications unlike sa mga ibang linux wala (haven't tried on a suse though..).

Samhain13 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 i believe thats for players..i need something along the lines of blender3d and flash..yung mga creators.. ty Blender is readily available, just install it from the repos. Flash, I think still has no Linux alternative but if you're still comfortable using version 8 Pro, it runs fine in Wine. Video editing, I would personally recommend Cinelerra. I have just in fact, over the weekend, finished a project using it. It's not very hard to use, just imagine using a multi-track Windows Movie Maker. I'm even tempted to compare it to Premiere but then I have not used the latter in a very long time. Cinelerra can also be used as a music editor, just delete the video track and choose to render audio only. It supports lots of formats. The version I'm using can be found here: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php If you're into MIDI, Rosegarden is the best! But you'll have to get either the lowlatency or real-time kernel to make it work properly. You'll also need to have TiMiDiTy++ installed. Here's a great guide: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~djm/ubuntu/feisty/#timidity, then install Rosegarden from the repos. If you're into transcoding, you should also have the Medibuntu repos enabled because they have a better ffmpeg version (or so I'm told). I would also recommend installing ffmpeg2theora and mencoder. And that's where you get additional, non-free codecs. You might also want to visit this thread in the UbuntuForums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=567016 For imaging software, there's really a lot to choose from. I prefer combining The GIMP with Inkscape and ImageMagick. I think you'll find a nice multi-image resize-and-make-thumbnail script that I wrote (hehehe) for ImageMagick somewhere in the back pages of this thread. You can also try Krita if you're more comfortable working on a Photoshop-like interface-- but I'm really not a fan. Ayun. Quote Link to comment

webmaster_ph Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Flash, I think still has no Linux alternative but if you're still comfortable using version 8 Pro, it runs fine in Wine. i have a need for a flash editor w/o resorting to installing adobe. Quote Link to comment
Samhain13 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 i have a need for a flash editor w/o resorting to installing adobe. That's going to be a problem. Flash is, of course, an Adobe product so there's really no going around them. But if you'd like to learn something new, why not try experimenting with SVG and Javascript for making animated presentations for the web? It seems pretty cool, although at this stage, browser support is very poor. If you're building media players, I think iTheora is worth a look. I've been playing around with it on-and-off. It uses the Cortado Java Applet to stream Theora/Vorbis files. I have samples in my site, if you care to have a look. You can find them here:http://www.abcruz.com/index.php?args=Devel...loits_In_Media/ Quote Link to comment
webmaster_ph Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 maybe i'd have a look-around for open-source flash editors. i'd appreciate any leads. thank you. Quote Link to comment
Samhain13 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I came across a certain F4L (Flash for Linux) project in the past. But I haven't kept track of it. Quote Link to comment
us_good Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 what webcam works with ubuntu 7.10 or any version?besides pidgin as im, meron bang im na nagsupport ng webcam? anybody tried running mono at ubuntu (any version) coz i have only tested this in opensuse Quote Link to comment
Samhain13 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) There's GyachI (Gyache Improved). You can look for it in the UbuntuForums, it has it's own thread there since one of the contributors uses Ubuntu (and is Pinoy too). I've been using it since 7.04 but for some reason, the webcam utility in 7.10 version doesn't work for me. But if you're running KDE, there's always Kopete. It also runs in Gnome but I find it rather slow in this environment. Edited December 5, 2007 by Samhain13 Quote Link to comment

Samhain13 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Then you'll really need Flash. Quote Link to comment
