I have a Digital Photo Frame which can play divx and xvid movies.
The only problem with the device was that it could not handle very large avi files.It plays avi files of size 150Mb with ease.

I had ripped a DVD into a 1.4GB Xvid encoded avi file.To split this file into 150mb chunks I found a tool called Avisplit.

To use this tool you must install the transcode package.Run this code terminal to install transcode.

sudo apt-get install transcode

To split an avi file run the following command

avisplit -s 150 -i source.avi -o outputbase

This code will split the video file source.avi to 150mb chunks.The output avi files will be named as outputbase-0000,outputbase-0001 etc.

The only problem I found with this tools was that the audio chunks were missing at the beginning of the output avi files.

This guide mainly applies to Ubuntu users who do not want to follow the Ubuntu Forums guide, which uses wine to install Veoh TV.

You need to download the latest version of VEOH Proxy from http://code.google.com/p/veohproxy/

You need to download the src files and not the executable file.The current version of Veoh proxy is 1.5 and the direct download link is http://veohproxy.googlecode.com/files/veohproxy-1.51-src.zip

Download this and extract it.You will get a folder called VeohProxy-1.51.

Now open Terminal and navigate to VeohProxy-1.51 directory.

Enter the following command.

python default.py

The screenshot will make it clear.

Make a note of the last line.

Here it is 127.0.0.1:64653.This is the address of the local proxy.

To download a veoh video make a note of the url in the web browser.It will be something like this. http://www.veoh.com/videos/v280192es88wEr4?searchId=3295803849254710272&rank=1 Take the cryptic part starting with the letter “v” and append it to the local webserver URL: http://127.0.0.1:64653/v280192es88wEr4. You can just type it in your browser and it should download or show the file. Or you can pass the URL directly to your favourite media player.

Thats it.You can now download high quality videos from Veoh easily in Ubuntu.
