This video tutorial will explain how to losslessly convert any video file format, including quicktime .mov, flash .flv files, open source .ogv, .mp4, .wmv, .asf and more. I show you how to install ffmpeg, check the formats and codecs available to you, convert a file to a new format (windows media and .asf in this example) without any loss in quality during the decoding and encoding process, and create and run a script file that will enable you to run a batch conversion on any number of files at the same time.
Anyone who has tried to convert multimedia files in Windows knows how challenging it can be. There are a ton of different programs out there to do it, but most of them either leave a watermark in your video, lower the resolution of your video, or both, unless you pay hundreds of dollars. ffmpeg can do this for you quickly, conveniently, and completely free - and can even be used in Windows! This video was created for Ubuntu, but will work for most Linux distributions, and the code you learn here to convert a file can be applied to the Windows version as well, though Windows' scripting language is different so you will need to adjust the batch conversion script.
For more quick video tips, check out http://www.linuxhaxor.net, and for all these and lots more fun stuff, take a look at my site http://www.nixiepixel.com
Note: Yes, if you use a lossy codec, there will be loss in transcoding, but the difference is imperceptible with ffmpeg, unlike other programs. Sorry for being imprecise.

Medibuntu -
This popular third-party repository is not affiliated with Linux Ubuntu in any way, but provides many popular software packages (or as they put it, Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions in Ubuntu) including Acrobat Reader, Real Player, Google Earth, and Skype.
Medibuntu has two components to its repository, free and non-free. The free component includes software which, although it is distributed with an open-source license, it is not distributed with Ubuntu because of legal issues in certain countries that prevent it from being freely available worldwide.

Vmware player free virtualisation software from VMware.
Vmware player 3.0 no longer restricted to just powering on and running a pre-built virtual machine; it has the ability to create virtual machines like its big brother, Workstation.
While it may not pack the same punch as VMware Workstation, it has graduated to a new level of usefulness. In addition to being able to create new virtual machines, Player 3.0 also lets users edit the virtual machine settings, supports Microsoft Windows 7 as a guest and host platform, and provides a new virtual machine library interface.
Other new features found in VMware Player 3.0 include:
* Aero support for Windows 7 and Windows Vista guests
* OpenGL support for Windows guests
* Automatic download and installation of the latest VMware Tools package
* Multiple monitor support
* Print from your VM without installing printer drivers, thanks to a deal with ThinPrint
* ALSA Sound support on Linux hosts
* Added VIX API support so that developers write applications that can interact with their VMs
1. To Install Vmware player 3.0 download it from http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/de...
2. Navigate to where the .bundle VMWare file is, then type this in:
musa@lanx1~$ sudo sh VMware-Player-3.0.0-203739.i386.bundle
And that's it! Enjoy your VMWare Player installation!
