Aimee, I want to synch sound/vid on some avi's, what are you using ATM to do that?

Aimee, I want to synch sound/vid on some avi's, what are you using ATM to do that?

You mean muxing them? IIRC, you can do that in VirtualDub by opening the video, and going Audio >> Audio From Other File

If you mean syncing them (as in lining it up), perhaps this will help:

That's it, ta

This one I'm doing now is 12 seconds out beginning and end. I have one that's good at the beginning and slow at the end. Will I need to demux, pad the audio and mux? or will YAAI do it for me?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I'd try YAAI first and if it doesn't work maybe the padding will.

Question: How on earth did the aspect ratio of this video become 32:9??

 

[lndm]

I'm fast learning why you had so many issues earlier

YAAI seems like the perfect tool for the job but the video doesn't show for me. Last week I installed NVIDIA's latest and they were so buggy with video so I went back to some drivers I had from 6 months ago and that fixed the problem on all but YAAI.

The weird thing is, I tracked down some XVid codecs and now the video plays perfectly without the sound delay, but when I burn it it is out of synch again.

I don't know where to go but I'm going to try a burner other than Nero, maybe CDBurnerXP.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I'd try ImgBurn, fairly good.

Question: Got a really weird spam email. WTH?

The Secrets of Richness

Secret No.1
The highest Secret of all Secrets

Only one single thing was disallowed in Paradise, but, of course, God made it impossible and so they were not able to let it.
Thus God created a world full of problems and sorrows and who ever will break this rule again must be punished!
Without children is no further punishment possible, so God allowed it to make children and to marry is something good.

Always when you have been truly chaste for at least 3 weeks God stops hating you!
Then God will make live much easier and happier and problems will be taken away.
Tell God always and strictly: I rather want to die than to lost Chastity!
Don't let God his unjustly right for further punishment!

Is there a question here?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Not really. I just found it weird.

Welcome to 2004 Aimee. Ive been getting those sort of spam emails forever now. They're filled with something that tries to fool the spam filters. It stopped working a long time ago too.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I used to get a ton of them when I used Hotmail. That and the fact they switched to "Windows Live Email" (or something like that) that refused to work on my Aptiva IBM pushed me to switch to Gmail.

I recently switched to the US-International keyboard layout because I need to type a fair amount of é's and ô's and such, but I discovered that the shortcut that previously was my most common way of going backward in my browser/explorer [ALT + leftarrow] now flips my screen on its side. Is there another common backward shortcut? Or any way of me bypassing this?

Although I'm not sure, this might have been an updated display driver that took over the shortcut.

Can you still use CTRL + leftarrow?

Backspace!

Mouse gestures!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Numpad? (Dunno how easy/hard it'd be to setup.)

In IE8 (Internet Explorer 8) is there a way to set the search function to open a new tab instead of populating the current tab with the search results? The best answer would be an IE8 GUI option. Next best would be a registry edit. 3rd best would be an add-on for IE8 (eq Tab Mix Plus).

I am downloading Maxthon 2.5.3.80 right now but would be interested if there are any other ways of fixing this 'problem'.

TIA!

 

[Turner]

Mine opens in a new tab.... Not sure where that setting is.

 

[kulade]

Backspace!

Yeah I forgot about that one, I used to use it.

Mouse gestures!

HAhaha. What kind of lame actually does that?

Well after brief experimentation, I found out that I can use the left alt and leftarrow, but that kind of defeats the purpose if I have to use two hands.

 

[Zelig]

HAhaha. What kind of lame actually does that?

Mouse gestures are flippin' awesome.

Hold down right click and left click to go back.

Hold down left click and right click to go forward.

 

[kulade]

Ah, I assumed he meant actually clicking the back button or something crazy like that.
