    Creating DVD's With Linux

    In another post, I mentioned that I only was keeping Windows around because I used Nero to create DVDs from recorded video. I have since been trying out a Linux GUI frontend 'Q' DVD-Author. It uses the existing terminal program DVD-Author.

    'Q' DVD-Author
    DVD-Author

    I wasn't anxious to use the terminal program, but I was going to try. I then found this frontend for it. The 'Q'-DVD site has a flash video that shows how to use it. I wasn't getting a good DVD until I watched the flash video. I already like it better than Nero, because you can customize the menus.

    I use some videos that I had on hand for my first Linux DVD. I had downloaded several episodes of "The Secret Life Of Machines", so I made a DVD with them. I took a screenshot of the opening graphic and fixed it up with GIMP. I used this for the background of the main menu. I then added screenshots of the individual episodes in the window openings. These are then made into "buttons" that will start the video. I also ripped the opening music and added it to the menu. I posted a screenshot of the opening menu.

      Hello,

      this is a very strange Problem:

      Notebook hang instantly on Boot. BIOS is accesable.
      Windows: instant after showing "loading circle", even Windows Boot Stick hang instant (even without installed SSD/NVME )
      Linux: instantly (if Linux Boot in leagacy Mode with log messages: Machine Check exception after 0.25 sec)

      i have tried:
      - only one RAM Stick, another working RAM, both RAM channel
      - BIOS Flash to newest Version F.50, BIOS Reset
      - Memtest86 hang instant at Test 2
      - HP UEFI Diagnostic wont find...

      Requests to Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux Ubuntu x86_64
      by tsavpyn
      Dear all,
      I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
      Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.

      My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.

      I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
      I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
      I would really appreciate it if anyone...

      MS Surface Book 3 - Keyboard works only in UEFI/Linux
      by survivalbloke
      This is a very weird issue which I'm having trouble finding a common thread.

      The keyboard is registering keypresses in either the UEFI, or a live Linux USB environment - I used Ubuntu for testing. The keyboard backlight is lit.

      The keyboard is registering keypresses in Windows or any Windows-related bootable device. For example, it does not work in Hirens Recue or a Windows 11 bootable installer.

      When booted to Windows, not only is the keyboard not registering keypresses, but my USB keyboard is not either!

      USB mouse and integrated trackpad...

      Copy-protected DVDs
      by Hondaman
      Recently I got some DVDs that won't play on my PC drive. This is not unexpected, since there is a warning on the back of each package. But they play just fine on my set-top DVD player hooked up to the HDMI port on my TV set.

      I bought "Head of the Class" where Howard Hesseman [WKRP in Cincinnati] teaches a class of extra-smart students. I also bought "Ode to Billy Joe", a 1976 movie.

      All of these appear to be released by Warner Brothers. Rumor has it DVDs from several movie studios have a root directory that contains extra entries of non-existent files...

      SPD reading/writing under Linux and/or Windows
      by keepread
      Hi all,
      Where can I find the mysterious 'eeprom' kernel module that some use under Linux to read/write SPD?
      I installed 'i2c-tools' and got 'decode-dimms' tool under Debian but not under Fedora, but both of them are missing the 'eeprom' module.
      Also tried the SPD.exe tool from EVGA, which correctly lists all of the DIMM slots but reads zeroes from all of them.
      Basically I need to dump SPD from some modules that were sold to me as DDR-1866 but are made of DDR-1600 chips, and they do not work. There is no access to RAM clock rate in the BIOS, so I am SOL unless I can rebin...
