![]() ![]() ![]() For that you can save as WAV and then convert to AC3 with Sony Foundry Soft Encode or similar. Beware that newer Audition versions (than CC 2015) do not support saving to Dobly Digital. I import the audio file in Adobe Audition for normalizing, save as AC3 and then use IFOedit to create the DVD files. For the frame server of course I send the video and audio data uncompressed and let TMPGenc 2.5 to create the elementary streams (m2v and mp2). I then use IFOedit to create the DVD files from the video (m2v) and the audio files. I import the audio file in Adobe Audition for normalization and save as AC3 (Dolby Digital) or MP2 (MPEG). The audio is uncompressed PCM which I then demux with Avidemux in a separate WAV file. The final compression will be with TMPGEnc, so in VirtualDub I either produce a very good quality master to import to TMPGenc 5, or start the frame server and import that in TMPGEnc 2.5 For the master I use x265vfw compression with at least 2500 kbps bitrate which is essentially lossless. After that I use VirtualDub to deinterlace the video and then crop the visible tracking lines at the bottom and resize to 720x576 (PAL DVD). The way I do it is capture the video in Huffyuv or M-JPEG with little compression. I have a much better handle now on using virtualdub. I'm really glad I asked all these questions, and I think everyone for their help. OK, I just got Enter to work with virtualdub2. Skiller, I got the stop and start to work with the space bar, but not 'Enter'. The dub seems to come on every time a file is played. But, I swear, I could do it before with no audio issues.Īnd, you're right, Alwyn. I'm just having problems reviewing it with virtualdub. When I play it for review with VLC I can see that I'm capturing and editing a good digitized video, ready to convert to h.264. The problem is really moot at this point. Still, even in virtualdub2 "splutter, coughs" and the other thing. I tried different settings, "Play the file uncompressed" and I bumped up the 'Processing thread priority'. ![]() Some short sections of the audio are OK, but, sooner or later I get the cutting out, skipping effect, stuttering.Īlso, I tried both virtualdub and virtualdub2, and it did the same thing. The video is actually fine, it's the audio that skips out. OK, after watching my AVI video on VLC and it was great, I loaded the same file back into Virtualdub 1.9.11. Oh, yeah! Your suggestion is GREAT! It works much more the way I want it too. I just watched that episode on YouTube the other day. If you plan on making copies in other formats later on, or plan of doing more editing/processing, you should be using a storage/editing codec, such as a lossless codec like Lagarith, or a nearly-lossless codec like Cineform.Įither one, if you plan on using something like Vdub to edit with, you would need to install VCM/VfW implementations of the codec (instead of or in addition to Directshow, and probably NOT Quicktime).I love Mr. If you don't plan on doing anything else to this video except watching it, you could use Xvid (though for quality-sake, h.264/AVC is preferred). DivX & Xvid, as well as h.264, are mainly geared toward final destination & consumption video, not for "masters". If your are editing, and need a codec for the resultant file, you should be using one that is geared toward its purpose. If you need to do MORE than just joining, or if your source files make use of varying codecs/parameters, you CANNOT join your files - you will have to do a regular EDIT. If you are truly just JOINING files, the joiner app shouldn't affect the codec - it should be the same as the codec used on the input files ( which should ALWAYS have the same codec & parameters, not including bitrate). ![]()

![]() ![]() We finished the trailin just under 5 hours. It was a long trek back as our muscles were screaming at us and our knees were feeling every step. Luckily we made it down safe and the rain didn't last much longer. I was terrified of slipping off one of these ladders and falling to the bottom or slipping and going right over the edge. The problem is that EVERYTHING becomes EXTREMELY slippery and there is no cover from the rain pelting you in the face. Upon our decent, we reached the 3 ladders straight down and the skies opened up and started to pour. Which was just as intimidating as the way up was. The clouds were coming in so we decided to head back down. We decided that was far enough and not to continue to Callaway Peak. I was determined and we finally made it to McRae Peak. One missed step and you're gone over the edge of a HUGE cliff. Once you get toward the top, there is lots of areas that are super sketch. I suggest one at a time as it's hard when someone behind you is wiggling the rope trying to climb up too. It gets slippery when you're sweaty or it rains. The hand ropes weren't nearly as hard as I thought they would be. Some are straight up and some have a bit of a lean. They are secured well into the rock and seem sturdy. The ladders are all slanted a bit to the left or right, making it feel off. The ENTIRE trail is a mix of scaling rocks, climbing up ladders, using hand lines to climb up and balancing. the first rope area and ladders are just to get you into a false sense of accomplishment. Its straight up and over rocks to get to a trail. This trail gets you right from the start. I was almost in tears at times because of fear (especially when it started to rain) I'm not in the best shape, but amaretto active in kayaking and outdoor activities. ![]() This was the longest, most terrifying 2.6 miles of my life. It's mine and my husband's 25th anniversary and we decided to have an adventurous week. I'm not a young person anymore and knew it would be a challenge, but wanted to attempt it. Wasn't sure if icould make it with all the ladders and rope pulls. Now I can say I've accomplished it, but don't think I'd do it again.I looked up reviews and information on the hike to Gallaway Peak. I had to keep encouraging myself that "I could do it" " I got this" I'm grateful my husband was there to enjoy it with me. I have to admit, I am beyond proud of myself for making it!! I never would have thought I was capable of such a strenuous hike. The two of us went through 5 bottles of water. Please be prepared if attempting this hike. We gave them a bottle of water and some oranges. Met some people who were not prepared with anything. We took our time, stopped for water and to chat with other hikers and wait our turn for the obstacles. ![]() ![]() I looked up reviews and information on the hike to Gallaway Peak. ![]() ![]() Quite simply put, if priority number #1 is to be able to keep playing tennis while at the same time being able to heal active TE and/or TFCC, then ProKennex is what you want. Hope that helps provide an additional option that may work for you, and possibly work better than even a Clash - Perhaps it's because certain sets of eyes have missed this thread so far, but I can't quite believe no one has yet mentioned ProKennex. ![]() Control will be slightly less, but you'll get more forgiveness from the 100" head and roughly equal power, albeit via a bit more string bed trampoline and a bit less bludgeoning force of the frame itself. Swing dynamics will be very close, as will the feel of that firm "thud" on contact from the medium-stiff 66RA flex, but you need not worry about a stiffer flex with PK, as the moveable mass tech provides more arm-protection than can typically ever be overtaken by a stiffer flex alone. That said, the closest PK version of a Pure Strike 18x20 v3 would probably be a Ki Q+ 5 ( link) - 100", 16x20, 300g, 21.5mm beam, 66RA, 3pts HL strung, 329 strung SW - the other PK's are either noticeably softer-flexing, or more head-light in stock form, or both. ![]() Quite to the contrary, they are supremely capable frames that offer some of the best playability and feel of anything out there (after all, PK created the mold to what would become the Pure Drive, and they contract-manufacture for several mainstream brands, so they know a thing or two about making frames). And contrary to some who might label them as old man sticks or too kludgy to play great tennis with, just a very short search here is all that is needed to dispel any of that nonsense. Their "Kinetic" moveable mass technology (chambers containing microbeads that slide towards the tip of the racquet just before impact) works better to protect the entire arm (wrist included) from impact shock than any other tech out there, including excessively soft-flexing conventional sticks such as the Clash v1, Phantoms, etc. But to me, 3rd gen 100 is better in every - Perhaps it's because certain sets of eyes have missed this thread so far, but I can't quite believe no one has yet mentioned ProKennex. Or otherwise you could try TF40 which many people has suggested. But to me, 3rd gen 100 is better in every categories. It's still very firm, but you can feel the bending at the throat, plus the open pattern soften the stringbed a lot. I tried both PO7 and 3rd gen 98 16M, both are having very rigid frame and not bending much upon impact. If you really like PS, you could try PS 100, which is easier on arm while maintaining the same PS feel. Regarding the TE issue, my experience is that because PS is too easy to use, one would be tempted to "arm" to ball in struggle situation rather than having better preparation and hit through the ball in front. ![]() PO7: less weight, less SW (3rd gen should sits between clash 98 and PO7), less spin (but still very spiny), firm and direct feel, dense pattern at center (18M should be denser).Ĭlash has more power potential but as I can swing much faster using PO7, I can generate heavier balls with PO7. That's why all the reviews said it has erratic response. ![]() Because of the trampoline effect, the ball would bounce off the stringbed very differently for you to "block" the ball (when you are jammed) and hit through the ball. They are basically in different spectrum.Ĭlash 98: more weight, higher SW, more spin, trampoline effect (like sling shot), much more open pattern at center. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A bootable backup volume or another external volume can also be used as a temporary home for your most important files if you’re concerned about recovering everything before reinstalling macOS, which would overwrite anything still stored on “Macintosh HD”.

I’ve been diving into racial justice books lately. So I’ve discovered the only way to gain access into a book club: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN BOOK CLUB. It’s a lot easier to guard your sacred book club than it is to ask people to leave once you’ve made the mistake of inviting them in. Or what if you invite your friend to join the book club but then realize she’s not your type? How can you friends-divorce her without making book club totally weird?īasically, I get it. Or what if everybody invites their friends to join the book club and you end up with 60 people trying to wedge their brilliant theory about Jhumpa Lahiri’s intentions into the conversation? Or what if you invite a new friend to a book club only to find out that they have drastically different tastes than you? When it’s their turn to pick the book, what if they pick 50 Shades of Grey and you’re a Things Fall Apart kind of book club? What if they pick Milton and you’re a Rowling sort of book club? What if you invite your friend to join your treasured book club only to find out that he drinks way too much wine before the books come out and frequently launches into laments about how kids don’t learn cursive these days? Nobody wants to be the person who invited that guy. Nobody wants to make themselves vulnerable - or really, to make their book club vulnerable - to a wild card. It’s because book clubs are guarded like Fort Knox. Like, aren’t there 800,000 book clubs in the world? Shouldn’t I just be able to find a group of like-minded individuals already organized in book-club form and join in? But those of you who are miraculously a part of a book club know exactly why that’s not possible. I feel like book clubs are one of those things you shouldn’t need to start.
