Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

For zone, no it is not necessary to let user set it. But could be nice. But this will not be active at the beginning. I have juste keep in mind all that could be nice for future. For encryption, it is simply to keep/remove the CSS from dvd. Same, at beginning it is not necessary, just nice option in future. Same for ISO image of an existing DVD, not necessary at first but could be nice. The main goal is to have the necessary functions be ok. (Titles selection, language, subtitles, ripping, burning ...) But I let some options (in first time they will not be active) that could be nice for future. As I say, dvdshrink is a win32 software very used to backup DVD to DVD-R simply, divo would be able to done the same. I have used dvdshrink and talk about gdivo to some people at work that have dvd writers (approximatively 10 persons). All are under Windows, unless one with dual boot (we are at HP French Workstation and Desktops support). They all use dvdshrink for dvd backup. In my case I done sometimes dvdshrink on win32 and putting files on USB hdd, burning the ISOs with cdrecord. Why talking about dvdshrink ? because it is simple and nice, and doing all necessary. So gdivo must do the same and better. Talking with other users I have done the Gdivo main interface, avoiding the non necessary functions of dvdshrink and adding great tools (automatic selection of main title, language and subtitle, the Quick Backup button ...) and keeping for future the 'funny' functions that could be helpful options in some case (need to test again dvdrwtools with my Pioneer, but last time there was some problems, this is what letting iso option could be nice as cdrecord burn dvd as iso). As this, we could have a software more useful than the ones avalaible under win32. And this is a great goal I think, don't you ? > I'm not very very powerfull in C language, but I will done all I can > to > have all be ok as fast as I can.

I will see. In first time, will done to have the interface being operating. For this I will be help by some people I know, if we have problems for some functions about retrieving informations, I will talk about to you. Cedric (yes now I am not the divo-list) |

Those title informations are at TT_SRPT of VMG IFO. You may use

If further info, i.e. length or language, are required, we'll have to
locate them through VTS IFO. i.e. check the VTS_PGCIT per related

Sorry, I thought it was "ifo"...<br>
<br>
No, I've never created ISO files. IMO, it is identical to the VIDEO_TS
file structure. Also, divo utilizes VIDEO_TS files for processing
intermediate data. To create an ISO from VIDEO_TS seems redundant and
requires extra time and hdd spaces.<br>
<br>
But, I could be wrong because I don't have any experience about ISO.<br>

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: divo Date: Thu, 06 May 2004 20:52:00 +0200 From: Cedric Dupont <an...@lu...> To: Yi-Shin Li <ys...@ee...> So I have done a first drawing of GUI. Look at it and tell what you think. And as this is a gtk project, I have put a 'g' at divo, giving gdivo name for the gui. These are the main goals : Reading the informations from DVD Structure (have you ever use divo on a dvd video iso file ?) At left : an overview of the original DVD Structure (Titles, size and length). Possibility to done a direct backup of whole dvd to dvd-r size (as soon this will be able with divo) a preview panel for video (using mplayer or xine, I don't know at this time, perhaps one or other using preferences settings) At right : One panel for title selection, so you have all the Titles of DVD avaliable and using check boxes choose which one to use.

Second panel for title settings, letting you select for the actually selected title which language and subtitles to choose (same with preferences settings, languages and subtitles could be defined by default) Third panel is for dvd settings : Volume Name, encryption, zone, final wanted size (as the DVD9 burners perhaps will be soon on market) After all is set for the backup, function to save the backup on hdd (using divo with the xml file created) perhaps with choice between iso or video folder (iso is sometimes good as I could have seen with dvdshrink) And finally just a button for burning purpose, not a veritable GUI to growisofs, just burning an iso or folder choosen in a dialog boxe. I have think about an 'all-in-one' button. This is the button I call 'Quick Backup' using preferences, this is what I want it done : Read informations from dvd (the dvd reader is set in the quick backup preferences) Use divo with the preferences of quick backup (main movie, english language, nosubtitles for example and directory of backup predefined) Burn the dvd-video (speed, burner defined in preferences) I'm not very very powerfull in C language, but I will done all I can to have all be ok as fast as I can. I will have help for C coding if necessary. So will attempto to have the minimal of dependancies : divo (this is sure :) ), attempt to let the choice for mplayer/xine or none for preview panel, dvdrecord or dvdrwtools for burning (leting the choice if the two are ok for this use) and libdvdread (this is a divo dependance so no problem). If possible will not use anything else. Configuration file : .gdivo/config (will keep general preferences and quick backup ones), .gdivo/divo.xml (the xml file for argument divo) Cedric |

<pre>Yes you could send it to the mailing list. I will go to subscribe it soon.
So I will do a GUI in gtk2, doing the xml file, launching divo and
finaly burning(or ripping, or creating iso), it's ok ?
I will probably use libdvdread to have the informations. If I don't have
the necessary, will see for the IFO. Do you have use any code from
dvdbackup to create divo ? If yes I know that it have the ability of
retrieve great informations (perhaps from libdvdread will see)
If you want I could send you some screenshots of dvdshrink, I will do
something as it (it is very simple to use, creating a dvd-r compatible
ISO or file system of dvd from any DVD VIDEO)
Adding options for direct burning (dvdshrink doesn't done it) removing
some options (by personnal experience and experiences of my friends,
they are not used) ...
I'm very happy that a project of this type exist under Linux. This is
another thing that make Windows depreciated.
