Dear list!

 

i am trying to install pd-extended 0.42.5 on ubuntu 10.04 and am a total beginner with any linux. I was so happy to manage to install ubuntu, but now the Package Installer asks for more and more dependencies. My machine is not allowed to connect to internet, and i go crazy copying all the dependencies via usb stick from this internet-pc to performance-pc! How to easy-install Pd?

 

I am trying linux, 'cause my patch has problems playing multible videos on windows. I use foto-jpeg decoded videos with quicktime for window, because i found that quicktime reads the framenumber correct instead of direct show. live-cam input is quite stable, but windows freezes from time to time with playback of 5 videos. I have quite a fast machine and an ssd drive which should be able to do the task i thought.

 

So:

which video format works well with windows?

how do i get pd-extended on linux working?

 

please exuse my confusion, too much operating system problems today; too less Pd...
