What free / non-restrictive open-source solutions (not GPL) are available for decoding game videos?
The requirements are simple:
a relatively easy to use C API
encoded files must be quite small
there must be an application that converts videos from any format (whatever codec is installed on Windows or equivalent amount of internally decoded formats)
decoding has to happen fairly quickly
bonus points go to file formats that are popular / actively supported and
developed
I finally got Gnome Shell working on Ubuntu 12.10, but there are some weird graphical issues. It seems as if the text is corrupted or something. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

It happens on a bunch of different applications, but not when I'm using Ubuntu. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?
My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6540G2, and I'm using the open source drivers (fglrx doesn't work with 12.10 yet).

I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my emachine e625 AMD64 (TF-20) with an ATI RS690m X1200 graphics card but I didn't have 3D acceleration. The open-source driver works, except for any video effects or acceleration… I've downloaded the driver from ATI and followed the installation instructions and here is the result:

I am trying to figure out why my texture allocation does not work. Here is the code:
glTexStorage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 2, GL_RGBA8, 2048, 2048);
glTexSubImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0, 0, 2048, 2048, GL_RGB,
GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV, &BitMap[0]);
glTexSubImage2D returns GL_INVALID_VALUE but the maximum texture allowed is 16384x16384 on my card.
The source of the image is 16bit (Red 5, Green 6, Blue 5).
I was thinking about a live editing environment where code / a source file is synchronized so that, changes made by one user would be carried across to all others editing the file.
Something like Google Wave, but for code.
Could this kind of an environment be better for the code, as changes are shared instantly?
(with revision-control, of course)
Has anyone tried (or has had a need for) using a shared environment for code?

Does anyone know of an app (for iOS or Mac) that asks for my current activity every hour or so? I see tons of apps that let you log your activities, but none that use popups/notifications to actively ask you.
I found a script that looks promising (source), but I'm having trouble implementing it so that it repeats every hour:

echo What are you doing right now?
read -e what
echo `date` - $what >> timelog.txt
Thanks!
