    windows-7 ffmpeg 2014-1-15 11:11:58
    I’m used to use VirtualDub to encode a video to AVI container with DivX-codec (and MP3 for audio). Now I’m planning to use ffmpeg to encode videos to MP4 container with h264-codec. What I’ve figured out is that I need to use libx264 and one of those presets to make anything work. However, I’m amazed about the video bitrate ffmpeg uses for encoding.What I currently have is this little batch file:@ECHO OFFSETLOCALSET IN=source.avs SET FFMPEG_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpeg SET PRESET=-fpre “%FF

    I am distributing an exe file that contains a video that needs to be able to be played on Windows XP & Windows 7 without ANY other software or codecs installed. This includes Windows Media Player, which many of my customers don’t have installed.Formats – bear with me, I mostly develop apps for other platforms. I don’t normally deal with a/v stuff or Windows stuff so my terminology is probably off – I’ve tried and had no success with:.mp4 .ogv .wmv (ironic, isn’t it?)I have been able to play

    For a friend, I am trying to share a USB Canon pixma ip3000 printer between two computers in his home network. But I can’t get it to work due tot a Canon driver problem.The printer is connected to the Windows 7 (64 bit) computer, and we would like to be able to print from a Windows XP computer. ‘Normally’ it should be no problem to use Windows printer sharing, however, because one machine is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit, installing an extra driver is required.

    I hope I’ve found the right place for this question. It’s a long question, and has a little bit of a background I’d like to cover. The question, or issue, I’m having will become obvious. I think it is related to a problem I am having with IE9, so I will describe that first,I support a number of users, and we just upgraded a PC we had from Vista to Windows 7 (32-bit) and gave this PC to a new user. This was a couple of weeks agoMy boss did the actual upgrade, but reported no problems connecting o

    I cloned my old Windows 7 hard disk to a shiny new Seagate Momentus XT 500GB using the free EaseUs Disk Copy tool on my laptop. After the clone process I used the Windows 7 installation disc to start the automatic startup repair. This took maybe 15 minutes and then my cloned disk was able to start. Now the cloned disk boots until the login screen and then I can’t do anything because my keyboard just doesn’t work. I tried connecting an external USB keyboard but this didn’t help.

    windows-7 windows windows-vista java updates 2014-1-15 8:00:48
    I’ve installed Java on Windows Vista, and every day I get a Vista security warning asking me if I want to run “jucheck”. Apparently this is the Java automatic updater.Well, I don’t want it to run on its own, ever. I cancel it, and quit it. I right-click on the taskbar and unclick “Check for Updates Automatically”, and then click “Never Check”, and “Apply”. And yet, it never remembers this setting. If I come back to the “Java Control Panel” right after clicking “OK”, the very same box is che

    FileHippo.com is a software archive where you can get the newest software. It is used/linked to by many developer which implies that this site is trustworthy.I dont get how FileHippo can have updates of software like Java faster than the original website. For instance: the Javacheck on the original site tells me that I have the newest version:While FileHippo tells me:This is one of many examples (Pidgin Internet Messenger offers the newest update later then filehippo too).Maybe they have a deal

    What is the best way to store sound files (ogg) that are distributed with the app and updated at runtime?I am developing an app that includes a default set of sounds as resources (res/raw/*.ogg). These work fine for the defaults but I want the user to be able to update the set of sounds with recorded sounds and downloads from the Internet. The problem is that the resources are read-only and, I think, assets are also read-only. I don’t know how to include files in the project so they can be updat

    on our terminal server all users have minimal (i.e. default) permissions. None are local administrators on that machine.Still Java Runtime displays message to every user that an update is available. Clicking on the update asks for admin-credentials, which none of the users have.How can I stop Java from showing the update notice to all the users? Only administrators should see it. Its pretty annoying that lots of users contact us whenever Java requires an update.

    Running an update check on all installed modules on my site takes quite some time, and sometimes even exceeds PHP’s runtime limits. Leaving the module enabled makes using the web based administration very difficult as many different actions cause it to make a full run.Is there a way to leave the module enabled but only have full updates triggered by cron instead of every time the status or module pages are visited in admin?I’m using Drupal 6.26 here.

    When I install a fresh copy of Windows XP Home (I bought it from the store.. not a copy), my PC rocks like lightening speed. But when I start installing all the updates, patches & less .NET 4.0 client (as the .NET 4.0 Client seems to bring machine to slow crawl). The PC starts to slow down.. like there are more resources to watch or something is happening in the background.So could I not get away with an awesome virus protector and an awesome firewall set-up and avoid all the patches?Th

    I have had this happen to me twice now. I’ll be in the middle of working on something that has resulted in me not rebooting my machine for several days. If Windows 7 is waiting to install updates it’ll eventually get to a point where it forces a restart to install the updates. The problem is that it doesn’t notify me or tell me that its going to do this and I’ve lost work as a result and most recently had a VM become corrupt and unusable. Is there a way to at least get it to prompt me before
