Open Suse 11 Multimedia Pack Portable 2008

[Easgs]

I have created a Multimedia Pack portable for Open Suse, the included programs and codecs are:

1) kchmviewer
2) mplayer, mplayer plugin
3) audacious
4) k3b, k3b-codecs
5) sox
6) devede
7) audacity
8) avidemux
9) ffmpeg
10) transcode
11) ntfs-config
12) vlc
13) libdvdcss
14) w32codecs
15) xine
16) xmms
17) dvdShrink
18) k9copy
19) Gtkpod
20) Acetoneiso
21) Furiousiso
22) DVD::RIP
23) Amarok
24) Kaffeine
25) kmplayer
26) Kdvdcreator
27) K3guitune
28) Kdvdauth
29) DVDAauthorWizard
30) Kguitar
31) Mjpegtools
32) Soundconverter
33) Gdvdcreator
34) Asunder
35) Brasero
36) Smplayer

plus some gstreamer plugins

you can install any of the above without internet, they include all the dependencies, just unzip the both files into a folder named MMP2008 and create a repository from that folder as a simple rpm folder in yast, then make a search in the yast installer with the name of the program and check it to install it, this is very important if you don`t have internet at home, and besides, by default Open Suse doesn`t include several codecs due to license matters.

The links are:

MMP20081.zip

MMP20082.zip

NOTE: These were tested with Open Suse 11 x86 with KDE 3.5

I created a blog about the MMP 2008 Multimedia Pack 2008 Para Open Suse 11 « Weblog Tecnologico

hm, please name the authors of all those packages...

to help you: this packages are all prepared by the packman team. I think it is not very polite to grab those packages and zip them and then provide them as your "own" package.

You're own work is only to grab them and create a zip file of it to provide it as own work. This is very "unpolite"!

So get a own account on the SuSE build-server to create packages or help the packman team. But don't vamporize our work and provide our packages as your work.

I don`t remember when I said that I created those rpm, or I appear as the author of any of them?, what I said is that I made a package, a more compact compilation, a quick download for people without internet, in fact not all are from packman repository, I solved some dependencies with rmp.pbone.net if you look closer, and some from the program proyect itself, I am not even a programer just someone that had a problem, found the solution and take it the time to help people to not deal with the problem the way I did, and in that way promote the use of linux, vampire, I don`t think so, but I admit that I would loved to act as one in "Interview with the Vampire", Homework for me: read the GPL again, I think I get it wrong specially this part "This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation".

I am not a thief if that is what you meant, that is why I use OpenSource, I even mention who had the original idea of this compilation, read the last line of the first post.

I would ignore those noises. The spirit of open source is that we have a rule to follow, and that rule does not include mentioning the author(s). I may package your cluster of multimedia packages and send them to my friends. I will not mention your name (& I don't think you expect anyone to do that, either), but no one will think that I did all the work, and everyone knows they come from the big "open source" family. That's what's important.

Thanks a whole lot for your efforts and contributions. I am sure you will ignore the unpleasant noise.

Thanks pwzhangz, you are right, I don`t pay attention to that, and I don`t beleve that those words of egoism represent the opinion of the community, I fact I created an Extra package that add the following:

dvd2xvid
gAny2dvd
lmms
Totem
Gstreamer plugins dependencies

Remember that you must split everything in the same folder.

dependencies are to install all the gstreamer plugins already included in the first two zip files, this extra is not needed to install any of the programs of the first list, and as usual, you don`t need internet to install them in a PC, you are invited to download this packs and add your favorite programs if they are not included, make your own package and upload it to the internet, so everybody can get the software and people without internet can install the programs easily at home, in my local area I am giving copies of this software absolutely free, people doesn`t have to pay anything, even for the media.

Thanks for a great project, some of my friends without an internet connection really appreciate this. Do you have or have you heard of anyone doing this for the 64bit edition of opensuse 11.0, kde 3.59

[taran2l]

Did someone tried this package under Open SUSE 11.0 + KDE 4.0 ?

I'm just download it, and will try to install at evening.

[Mustangd302]

Very handy, thanks a bunch.
