Getting Google Video Uploader to work in Ubuntu.

I initially had problems in using the Java application that Google has to upload videos greater than 100MB. It seems that Java 6 under Ubuntu does not have AWT installed. To get it to work I just downloaded Java 5 and unpacked it to my local directory. I then ran the command (substitute yourUserName for your own):

~yourUserName/jdk1.5.0_13/bin/java -jar GoogleVideoUploader.jar

And it worked just fine.

Flip Video Ultra works in Ubuntu.

The Flip Video Ultra works great in linux. The device is mounted as a USB mass storage device. The videos are avi files encoded in mpeg4. Just drag and drop. Use Totem or mplayer to play. Very nice.
