![]() There are buttloads (that's a Linux technical term, whereas "shitloads" is a Windows term) of audio player apps in Linux, just like there are in Windows. Since I like simple ones with a minimal footprint on the screen, I've used Winamp in Windows for about ten years. In Linux I want something similar, so I use Audacious (http://audacious-media-player.org/). It not only looks like Winamp, it even uses many Winamp skins. It's derived from XMMS, which was a Linux version of Winamp.
![]() If you're used to Winamp for your music, you might want to give Audacious a look. It's in the repositories for most distros. According to its home page, its default install includes codec support for mp3, wma, flac and a whole bunch more. Since I already had the codecs installed on my PC's, I can't verify that. Oh - unlike Winamp, Audacious isn't burdened down with trying to be an all-in-one multimedia player, so it's a fairly lightweight app. |

![]() I recommend JDownloader as a great tool to use to download stuff from here. Manages archive passwords and extract automatically. Create directories for downloads. Handles multiple hosts. Handle retries and waits if you're not a paying user. Perhaps not for newbies tho... Open Source and free.
http://jdownloader.org/ Since it's in Java it should work fine not only in Linux. |

![]() Multimedia Player
I do not know (no own experiences) on LINUX-based-, but I could recommend the VCL player, working very well with the very most of audio and video formats on WIN-based OP-systems. ![]() Quote:

![]() Yes Timmy, thanks, I forgot an important Point: VCL - Player does have included codecs, what makes it fast! That's important, if your machine isn't quite so fast or is working hard in the background with other stuff (video rendering for example).
I know that player from WIN-systems, it only failed with some strange codecs I got with movies from Japan. Neither other players of mine where able to play those movies. .rm - Files having an own, highly packed audio track (under Apple-licence, I think) so it's mostly impossible to play those files with other players. There are .rm- files with a third character (can't remember wich one) which are pay-files!!

![]() Three players for looking vids (porns
![]() ![]() I'm a bit impatient, what's about some "serious"- applications. I heard of Open Office as an example, but honestly having no clue what it is (behind it- an office solution, known). Could give someone in here a few information (personal experiances) with it? The main information can be found in the net, I'm sure (didn't search so far) but more important - for me - would be some personal experiances like "Timmy" gave with the players. (see last passage) I would also be interessted in video editing; I found about 15 PRGs in a list, but couldn't find out what's behind it. But step by step, I'm not going to make any revolution on my PC - as long I can run my older WIN applications in an emulator window, it could run as an evolution. For this evolution it's important, that an exchange of data is guaranteed.

![]() OpenOffice
Thank you Timmy, ![]() It's avalible for WIN (and MAC) too; I didn't know that issue. Looks great on the first impressions. Math is a formula editor for creating more complex mathematical (physical) formulas, I found out - like those complex formulas I was talking about in case of "Signum!". Designed to insert those later into "Writer" as far as I understood it. The package is saving in .PDF format too, no secondary software needed !!!

![]() No Timmy, no HD vids so far. Only usual the codecs (DivX, Mpeg 1+2, Xvid; mp4, wmv, ect).
Have a look at: Denoise, deinterlace, pic crop, color filters * (brightness, contrast, gamma do have all), vol. correcture. But I'm having several on WIN based PRGs, so I can live without doing it on LINUX based. The programming of this stuff needs a lot experiance in videos - maybe the reason for 'medicore'. Quote:
(*) Color filters can work on several bases, brightness, contrast ect. The color correction is very important for restoring old tapes, because of the lower signal it gets a color shift (->?word?).

![]() I'm having more than 20 years old tapes, that causes some trouble when one tries to capture it and than to improve the quality.
I think you will not have such old stuff. That was meant.
