Ubuntu 9.04 has just been released.
That would explain why I can't reach any of the repos. Blast it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a CD-ROM with a Flash intro (swf) that I need to rip to QT.
All the individual swf files are on the disc, but the intro has all of them running in sequence with music underneath, and that's what I need.
Any suggestions? I have Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip on this machine, but neither can read the disc.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I used something for converting on my Mac a long time ago, but I can't remember the name of it. When I Google swf converter I don't recognize any of the ones out there.
Hmmm...I may have to explore some of them sometime.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think you would have to use something like this.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, Tom's probably right. If the flash files are nothing but video (like YouTube clips) then they're probably FLV files under the hood, but getting FLV files extracted, converted to something usable, and connected would be difficult. And if the flash files contain animations or other non-video elements, then it's impossible.
Screen-capturing is going to be your only answer.
ETA: this page might contain some more cost-effective solutions than Snapz Pro, however.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you want a crappy free email address that you'd use to sign up for websites (and you fear you might get spammed) what's a good one to use? (I already use gmail.)

I created another gmail acct for this purpose and have it forwarded to my mail gmail acct.

Years ago gmail didn't want you to have multiple gmail addresses. Have they changed their position/just don't care now?
