If so, then there's your problem -- this code is very specific to Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" on the Intel platform. I've tried it on my dual-quad-core Mac Pro at work, and it seems to mostly work, although there may be some minor issues with it. I never did get a satisfactory solution for Leopard on a PowerPC-based Mac. -- Brad Knowles <bknowles(a)mail.utexas.edu> The University of Texas at Austin, Information Technology Services, ITS-Unix

Hello Grid, Two questions *Upgrading our the capture box on our main AG node to AG 3.1, is setting up the AG under Fedora 9 just as easy as a Fedora 8 AG install? *Will the AG 3.1 capture box function when hard drive encryption is enabled under Fedora 9? Thank you, John

AGVCR export
by David A. Cox 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I was wondering if anyone has built a tool to export/capture streams recorded via AGVCR into a format suitable for desktop video editing (mpeg, mp4, windows media, etc). If not, does anyone have a way that they get this task done? I can do a screen capture in software, or use a scan converter to get the images to tape, but both of those are slow and sort of painful :). Thanks for any advice.... DAC

hi, i'm at this moment sitting in a Summit for enabling the Cyber environment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH). lot's of talk about wish list items: quality, number of videos, automatic captioning, user customization, ubiquity, etc. lots of these are AG issues from long back so it might that the AG is a good platform for building DHH support on. are there ANY features, modules, contribs, to AG that support DHH users? i want to establish where we are before deciding how to move forward. thanks, -gurcharan PS RIT is home for NTID--National Technical Institute for the Deaf, a Congressionally funded school (Gallaudet is the only other one). www.ntid.rit.edu -- ------------------------- Gurcharan S.

Binding a bridge to a nic
by Jon Johansson 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi, I'm moving my bridge to a new machine and I would like to bind the bridge process to a particular nic because the other one is going to be busy doing other stuff. I can't seem to make it work, though. I've used the 'listenPort' option to the Bridge3.py where IPADDRESS="129.128.125.61:23000" --listenPort=$IPADDRESS but listenPort is supposed to be an integer, only the port number. When I run the bridge without this, the ip address of the other nic appears in the bridge registry. Is there any way to force the bridge process to use a particular nic?
