one know where the kernel builds &
the like get the root partition UUID from? I'm guessing it must be held in a
file somewhere, so if I can identify it I'll change it to the right one for
future upgrades etc.
TIA for any help,

Make a movie on windows, then transfer it to your linux box and run it
through mplayer to see what video and audio codec it uses to figure out

Then figure out the mencoder / ffmpeg incantation to make it do that for
other videos.

and sofar have had no joy. I've tried several methods which I've found by
googling, and although I end up with an mp4 file that I can view using
VLC/mplayer etc., I have been unable to view them on the PSP. I was

vidia downloads. Which should I use? I did try 1 but I
