Maybe you should try Aardvark. Just heard about this today and tried it out. Instead of getting a Google-type plethora of “more-or-less” answers, Aardvark actually sends your questions to people who have declared an interest on whatever happens to be the subject-matter of your question.
Then, within a few minutes you’ll get some emails with suggestions for your dilemma.
I had a specific question relating to how to play a particular radio station on my iPod Touch that I had been grappling with for two weeks.
Within 30 minutes, the problem was solved thanks to Aardvark.
Was this a flash-in-the-pan? Only time will tell but certainly a great start.
I really have no movie editing experience, so when the need to try to splice together four large .avi files arose, I was flummoxed for want of a better word.
However, a little googling quickly provided what looks like a great CLI command to do just that. I got it from this post. To run the command you need to install mencoder (sudo apt-get install mencoder) and then run
mencoder -forceidx -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi input1.avi input2.avi …
Works great although you must make sure that all of the input avi files have the very same fps and resolution. Otherwise it’ll just error out.
