Get a hauppauge card, they're well-supported in Linux V4L2 (including
the mpeg encoding chips via ivtv). I have a PVR-150 that's pretty nice,
and it was quite inexpensive.

I haven't tried it, but Kino has some pretty screen shots. You can use
Imagemagick for things like wipes and fades (non-interactive) and
transcode for more non-interactive transcoding, muxing, demuxing, and
framecutting.

[BLUG] PCI Card & Software - Video Camera

Hello,

Usual Scenario:

Record on video camera. Plug adaptor cord into video (left, right & video,
red, white, yellow plugs). Press play on video camera - watch on tv with
choice to record to vhs.

I would like to purchase a PCI card that has the same interfaces as the video
that has a good reputation with linux. Also I am asking for any linux
software recommendations that slice/dice/manipulate the video stream. Things
I would like to do - take still snapshot, rotate video, cut and paste movies
to create a movie with accompanying music, audio etc., to start.

Thank you,
Peter Brown

Hi Mark,

If you're interested, your logs could be useful in getting the botnet
dismantled or at least bots removed. Ping me off-list if you'd be willing
to share the data you have.

Cheers,

Re: [BLUG] mod_security help

As a follow up, I got it working and it works. I was having issues
with a large botnet hammering a website on Suso that is rather expensive
as far as page load time. Strangely enough, they were all using the
Referer: http://www.google.com/

as their referer spam. Why? I don't
know. Either way, I was able to put this line in the vhost container
itself so that the rule only applies to that website in a shared web
hosting environment:

SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Referer "^http://www.google.com/$" \
"log,deny,msg:'Google Referal Spammer',id:'910007',severity:'4'"

Works like a charm. Now I won't be woken up at 5am to restart Apache.
There are many many other things that mod_security can be used for. I
ran into a problem where another user was streaming music and that broke
after I turned it on because it can investigate the outgoing body of the
web server's response. Fortunately you can turn that off so streaming
works ok.

Re: [BLUG] The July Presentation

Those of us who can't attend thank you.

Though this time I'm not attending, not because I'll be 3 hours away
in Fort Wayne, but because I'll be several thousand miles away in
Venezuela.

Have fun!

Re: [BLUG] Has the list gone quiet?

Agreed. The only time I ever had problems, it was because I had only
half-downloaded the right driver from linuxprinting.org. The majority
of the time I've installed a printer, the right drivers were install
by default.
