![]() ![]() The difference is that there are now extensions to the format which allow additional information on the camera settings when the picture was taken such. The photographic images are mostly stored as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compressed images, the same format used for most web images and most other photo type images. Many more are used as reference - we take many pictures of, for example information boards for background information so they still have to be easily found.įirstly it is worth looking at the important differences between graphic images from a digital camera and other images. This provides a major logistic and storage problem - we have taken some 20,000 pictures in the last 4 years of which less than 25% are printed and even less added to our web site. The old version covering Ubuntu and up to Mint 17.3 is still available at Ubuntu Linux on the Move - Legacy Activitiesĭigital Photography support has become a major use for computers over the last 4 or so years and increasing so for laptops for use whilst on holiday to download and backup the cards in the camera. This has evolved and I am in the processing of pruning much old material and taking into account the use of Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu. Retaining the fun approach I have called it Ubuntu Linux on the Take. These days we also have the ability to watch Digital TV using USB DVB-T sticks, record programs and play videos so that is also covered. Perhaps the second most important activity after communications for inveterate travelers like ourselves is handling all the photographs and video we take with digital cameras, viewing them and ultimately putting them into a form that can be used on our web site. The subject of my first specialised page was therefore Ubuntu Linux on the Move which covered all aspects of communications when away from home. Linux was attractive because it needs no virus checkers or separate firewalls which need updating and no unstoppable or essential automatic system updates. I got so tired of the continual updates to the Windows XP system and the associated Virus checkers, Firewalls and Malware detectors. One of my main reasons for making the transition to Ubuntu was the huge, expensive and uncontrollable flow of data whilst on the move when using Microsoft Windows XP. I finally decided that it was an appropriate home for my experiences with Digital TV which overlaps in many respects with the Digital Video section especially in the media player area. The page was first extended to include my experiences learning how to turn the output of my Digital Video Camera which uses DVC tapes into edited DVDs with a navigation menu. This was my second specialised page covering how to handle all the pictures we take in the Digital Camera era using Ubuntu Linux. The main page covering my experiences in making the transition from Microsoft Windows to Ubuntu Linux - Fun with Ubuntu Linux quickly become excessively long. Extra Video Capture, Transcoding and Editing: Work in progress from August 2014 to the end of 2016. ![]()
