      <title><![CDATA[[3253] Codec Manager]]></title>
      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/316/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As a user I want to be able to listen to audio or watch videos with the least amount of setup.  I would like to have a single interface (Codec Manager) that lists all of the most common audio and video formats and shows me if I am missing the necessary codec for playback.<br /><br />Use Case: Enable MP3 playback.<br />Precondition: MP3s are not currently playable.<br />1. User logs into the system.<br />2. User opens the Codec Manager.<br />3. System displays a list of common audio/video formats.<br />4. User selects MP3s.<br />5. System displays some info about MP3s.<br />6. System displays a list of available codecs.<br />7. User selects a codec and clicks Apply.<br />8. System downloads and installs the selected codec.<br />9. System informs the user when completed.<br /><br />Other possible features:<br />- Display a list of audio/video types that are missing codecs.<br />- An auto-setup function, that grabs the recommended codec for all formats.<br /><br />Audio and Video formats that should be supported:<br /><br />Audio:<br />- MP3<br />- OGG<br />- AAC<br />- FLAC<br />- Real Audio<br /><br />Video:<br />- MP4<br />- Windows Media<br />- XVID<br />- DIVX<br />- Quicktime<br />- Real Video<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/372/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[DVD support is still not so easy to get, due to <br />content scrambling. Scripts like automatix provide<br />this relatively easily, but it could not hurt to have<br />a straightforward path to get DVD playback support.<br />Stick in a DVD, and it plays. DVD players could also become<br />simpler. I use xine or mplayer but it would be nice to have<br />the simplicity of the DVD player in OS X. <br />

      <description><![CDATA[adobe flash has become ridiculously slow. it's perverse that i can play a dvd in full screen mode and that uses about 5% of my processor, while as a small flash window on youtube stutters. as well as this, there is of course no 64-bit version, or a version for sparc/powerpc under linux. <br /><br />the solution is obvious--gnash must be developed. could canonical/ubuntu invest some development time in getting gnash working well? that would be great :)<br /><br /><br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/2479/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I recently had a chance to work with subtitles and I found out that despite the presence of several tools none of them worked like their windows counterpart did. Aegisub is a good open source editor and I think Ubuntu community should make sure that we soon get some kind of official repositories for it. Also tools to create new DVD videos, edit IFOs, ripping DVDs, and editing movies should be enhanced. <br /><br />Kino is a great video editing tool but it is no where near Windows Movie Maker. It should be improved.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/7844/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Ubuntu has this wonderful UbuFox integration that prompts you to install missing plugins via the package manager when you visit a webpage that requires Flash.<br /><br />But YouTube (and some other sites) will tell you you're missing Flash and then link you to the Adobe Flash download webpage, which has a .tar.gz and an .rpm but no .deb download.<br /><br />Since we already have .deb files for flashplugin-nonfree in the repositories, would it be difficult for Ubuntu/Canonical to convince Adobe to host it alongside the other download options?<br />

      <description><![CDATA[Pleeeeeease make an Ubuntu Media Center. I'd love to move my server over to Ubuntu but there are no good Media Center for it, so I'm stuck on Windows. :(<br /><br />Audio/Video/Pictures support would be the bare minimum needed, but TV Tuner support/Web Browser/RSS Reader/whatever else you guys want would be excellent as well.<br /><br />I know theres already an Ubuntu MC project (which is dead I think?), but it was going off in more of a FrontRow direction, where as I was kinda hoping Ubuntu could implement a proper MC like MCE or MediaPortal.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/7482/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In Hardy is in default installation integrated PulseAudio server. Most of applications are using PulseAudio. It will be very usable if will be created PulseAudio Volume Control applet similar to Volume Control applet. After left click on this applet user can see all audio streams named by applications (volume control for stream and icon for quick mute). Same applet is in Vista and for me it is the best Vista feature. Most of audio programs by muting stream from their gui completely mute alsa. This is not good, because i am watching tv in small window and if i want to watch video on web mus i completely close tv application. With this applet i click on it and temporaly mute tv application. Here is a picture of vista volume control http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/images/voume_mixer.jpg. I think better will be if audio streams and their control are oriented horizontally.<br /><br />Edit: here are mockups:<br />http://picasaweb.google.com/milan.krivda/GnomeMockups/photo#5192542737460341154<br /><br />http://picasaweb.google.com/milan.krivda/GnomeMockups/photo#5192698657658087858<br /><br />http://picasaweb.google.com/milan.krivda/GnomeMockups/photo#5193085617031588306<br /><br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/5314/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I'm not sure if this is fixed by using PulseAudio but i find the volume control in gnome is way too linear. Because of this the user has very little control with extreme loud and quiet volumes. For example, when reducing the volume it will decrease to a certain level then suddenly just go silent. Much more control would be given with a logarithmic scale.<br /><br />This page explains it much better: http://sound.westhost.com/project01.htm<br />
