You sure have need of a program of authoring and, on ours loved pinguino, to my opinion, nothing is better than ManDvd. This application, originally written for kde from Gibault Stéphane (member of kde-apps) works to the large one also on Ubuntu, concurs of:

  • to import video;
  • to cut to parts of the video and applicarvi special effects;
  • to create diaporama;
  • to import the subtitles them;
  • to insert buttons and background (also animated);
  • to create menu, also animated and with audio base;
  • to create of the chapters them;
  • to record of the DVD on the fly or with K3B

I sudo apt-get install mencoder transcode mjpegtools imagemagick netpbm dvdauthor blades xine-ui mkisofs mplayer.

ManDvd, instead, must be unloaded from getdeb and installed calmly with the double quantity click on the package deb. The screenshots that they follow they document the procedure for the construction of a simple Dvd from rows MPEG:

Revolution Music 2.0

It would appeal to you to listen to the sound of the guitar of Brian May without feel the voice of Freddie Mercury in the songs of the Queen? Today it is possible!
A group of Korean ingengeri has put to point a new format of music types them that it separates the controls on the audio volume for every musical instrument.  MT9, this the extension of the new format, has as tito it a “pomposo” Music 2,0 trades them and, to feel the inventors, is ready to replace “de facto” Mp3 as standard for music types them. The distintiva characteristic of the MT9 is that it has an audio equalizzatore to six channels dedicated to the voice, the chorus, to the pianoforte, to the guitar, the base and the drum. As an example, if a customer extinguishes the channel voice will have a base for karaoke, or is possible to disattivare all the instruments and to concentrate itself on the voice of the main singer…
Therefore MT9 is the ideal for music of new generation because it can be used for various services and products, like as an example iPhones, PC, telephones cellular and karaoke bar. In fact already Samsung and LG have made to know of being both interested to equip their cellular ones of reader MT9 and think from the beginning to introduce them on the market of the next year.
For who it wanted to try the site is www.audizen.com, with a series of approximately 2000 egg whites in the new format. audizen.png If then the reckless one has a some familiarity with Korean it will succeed to understand something more to us.
