Tutorial : Install Avant Window Navigator in Ubuntu
ut first, a little history lesson about AWN. OK? Good… You should know that Avant Window Navigator, also known as AWN, is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen. It has support for launchers, task lists, and third party applets. To get a better idea about what we are talking about here, take a look at the image in the left!
I have tried to make this guide as simple as possible, for every user to follow it and obtain a working AWN installation in the end.
This is the easy method and recommend for all users!
Step 1 – Add the repositories
Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enter your password when asked.
A new window appears, click the second tab “Third-Party Software”, then click the ‘Add’ button and paste the following lines (one by one):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy mainNow click the ‘Close’ button of the main window. It will ask if you want to reload the information about available software. Click ‘Reload’ and wait for the Software Sources window to close.
Install AWN
Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and paste the following command:
Hit the “Y” key when asked, and complete the installation. Close the terminal window and start the AWN dock from Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator.
How do I fix audio sync in AVI file ?
Solution 1: using AVIMUX
Step 1. Download AviMUX: Click here to download AviMUX
Step 2. Unzip it into separate folder, and launch AVIMux_GUI.exe
Step 3. Load your avi file into Avi_mux (right-click -> add). Click on the avi file to select it.
Step 4. Click the “Generate Data Source From Files” button. Information about audio and video streams will appear in the bottom window.
Step 5. Click on the audio stream. Now, you must see “delay [ms]” showing on the right side of the window.
Step 6. Enter audio delay value, for example:
If you see in the movie that a person speaks, and you can hear the voice only several seconds later (Audio is after Video), then you must choose negative value (in milliseconds), for example:
-5000 = shift audio by 5 seconds before video
If you can hear the voice in the movie too early, and only after several seconds you can see & determine who has said that (Audio is before Video), then you must enter positive value (in milliseconds):
5000 = shift audio by 5 seconds after video
Step 7. Finally, click start button, choose output avi filename. DONE!
Solution 2 : Using VIRTUAL DUB
Step 1: Select video then select direct stream copy
Step 2: Select Audio the souce stream selected there also.
