I hate ffmpeg's syntax and general way commands are issued.
Is this just me? Am I too used to... nearly every single other commandline application I've ever used? Or is it actually far more backwards than it needs to be.
Is the $3 worth changing the power jack to the back on the O2? Seems like the cord would be a pain coming out the front.
>>46622818
it makes sense to me once i really looked into it (and not just copy/paste other's commands)
each command modifies what the next command sees, you have to keep a mental note of where you are to know how the following command should be used
there is some specific things which need to be placed in certain places, but it's mostly sensible
like for example;ffmpeg -r 30 file.mkv ...
andffmpeg file.mkv -r 30 ...
do different things, in the first specifying a rate before a file causes ffmpeg to assume that rate for the file, while specifying it after a file converts the input rate to the new rate
like a 30fps file with -r 15 would either become twice as slow (first option) or have half its frames dropped, and stay the same speed (second option)

Search for your hardware on whichever site. If it's prebuilt, usually the maker will have a list of all the drivers available. To check your driver, go to the driver tab and compare.
What is the preferred way to do color in CSS, hex codes or rgb/rgba (___)?
>>46622972
go into device manager, right click > properties on the video card, then details, device instance path, and where it says "VEN_1002&DEV_6819" (in this case)
google "1002:6819"
that should give you the name

You go to AMDs website and click "download drivers" (assuming you have an ATI card). You can specify the GPU for old and beta drivers, or auto detect. Here is auto detect for your convenience

>>46623048
hmm okay thanks. Just thought it was less like 400 Mb . But I guess it may be different with motherboards and what not.
>>46622923
Interesting. I guess I'd assumed I was defining some kind of global arguments, rather than relative ones strung together.
A problem I remember having was ffmpeg seemingly being unwilling to make certain assumptions. For example, I wanted to decompress a file. I writeWhatever\whatever\a_Directory\File.m2ts output.yuv
It's implicit and pretty obvious I wanted it to decode and then just write the output to a file, but it threw some error about needing an output file. Tried adding -videoc (or something) rawvideo, it took the stream and started re-encoding it...
Changed that to "copy", still didn't work. Ended up fixing it by adding -i on the front. I still don't know why.
I could very well be retarded in some regard, but it just wasn't very intuitive at first glance. Haven't used it much, dn't really trust it yet, will end up learning more later.

>>46623215
you have to put -i infront of input files, so it doesn't mistake it for a command or output file
(i should have in the example but it slipped my mind)
you're right in thinking that most other things will take "file file" as input > output, but ffmpeg can do some pretty complex things, so being more specific just comes with that
>>46623209
Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

>>46623261
The interesting thing so far is that ffmpeg creates different raw files, for the exact same segment, than virtualdub. Both are receiving their input from avisynth, planes aren't swapped, same number of bits, raw file so no header, but they have different checksums.
Another thing to figure out I suppose. Switching to ffmpeg would make things much, much easier.
>>46623261
also;
-c copy will attempt to place input streams into the output container, in this case you can't put mpeg2 streams directly into a "yuv" file
also "yuv" mustn't be a recognized format, since you have to specify the format otherwise, when you specify a recognized extension, like ".mkv", it will assume the format for you (you can make an mkv with another extension by using for example "-t matroska file.whatever)
also, the common way to make a raw video with a simple header is to use .y4m (this is recognized immediately by ffmpeg as an input or output format, and it good for making intermediate or piped raw video

Well /g/?
>>46623346
some other tools like vapoursynth will also work with y4m files/streams
having a header means you won't need to specify the format and dimentions of the video on the receiving end
>>46623318
not sure why the checksum would be different
could be endianness, or simply the mpeg2 decoder outputs slightly different results
>>46623400
There is no deleting posts on /g/
>>46623462
It was h264 in this case. I don't know much about the AVC spec... but I do now there's some ambiguity as far as decoding mpeg2 streams like you said. So I'd be less surprised there.
I don't know. Maybe I'll open up a hex editor and view a smaller sample clip, look for differences.
Thanks fr the feedback. I think I understand a bit better how ffmpeg parses inputs now, doesn't seem so backwards.
>>46623467
I know I fucked up
>>46623525
np
also, in most cases you shouldn't need to store raw video to disk, if you plan to use the output directly in another program, consider piping it to the other program
if it must be done to disk, use some fast lossless compression like huffyuv, you'll use much less space, and possibly go faster, depending on how fast your disk is

It's stuff of varying framerates I concatenate together, and then supply the encoder with a timecodes file. x264 is nice in that it outputs its own finer grained version, which mkvmerge will take as is.

>>46623664

Why not just run Prime95 for 45 minutes, and if it hasn't crashed say "It's probably stable, I'll test the next voltage"? Then when you've zeroed in on the location you want to be at, then you run the 24-hour test.

You could read in lines as tuples and do append(data[line[0]], line[1]) to fill the array. Hope that steers you in a good direction.

You know Foobar has an iPod add-on.
My brother is looking for a new computer for home around $500. I told him it's possible I could put together a box for $500 that would be more than sufficient.
His use is going to be primarily streaming video via Netflix, as well as normal business stuff including teleconferencing.
The thing is I can easily do this hardware-wise for $500, but when you throw in the software he'll need by default (Windows and Microsoft Office) it leaves less than $300 to spend on the entire build.
That takes the build from "can easily do this no problem and throw in some quality gear" to "lol well this is going to be some bargain basement chit that is using sub-par parts"
Compared to the average Microcenter $499 deal that is going to get you some support on the product (compared to cracking open the case and going through the individual part RMA) and all the hazards involved in doing an actual build...
My question is: Is it worth it to try and part him out a setup with the best quality stuff I know for $300 (Mobo with good caps, reputable brands, etc) but also deal with the build, or just send him to Microcenter with $500 and let him get a pre-built box that might have some garbage pieces in it?

Maybe if I reistall and THEN add the storage hd that would work better?
>>46625885
No, it isn't worth it. Even the 'best stuff you know' is going to be shit at $300. Go for a pre-built or pirate the software.

Is it too late to get a refund for a GTX 970? I just want a full, or at least close to full partial refund so I can just get an R9 290 or something.
I got mine back on September 30th last year from Newegg (Gigabyte G1 Gaming). I wasn't really aware of any issues with it until recently, but I've been having several performance problems including crashing with several games, and I think its due to the 970, either the drivers or something else.
>>46625950
You know some assembly, but are new to programming? What.
I would do something higher level like Python or Go. Both have excellent documentation and Python has several tutorial for programming beginners like Learn Python The Hard Way and the Python tutorial in codecademy.
>>46625947
I figured it wasn't worth it at that price level with the software eating up so much of the budget.
>>46625981
Oh, also I've been getting the occasional BSOD with windows 8.1, something that never once happened until I upgraded to the 970. It has to be related.

I've got a stupid question about this HDD.
I've got this 500gb Hitachi laptop drive as an external drive in an enclosure.
It's divided in two partitions; H and I.
The smaller H: partition works just fine and the bigger I: partition says as following:
"I:\ is not accessible, the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable."
I've tried dskchk with no results, it says the drive isn't readable, aborting chkdsk and something like that.
what should i do to recover the drive as accessible, without losing the data in it?

1. Letter from your ISP means nothing. Media companies don't warn you if they're going to sue you, and ISPs won't shut off your internet, they'll just threaten, since if they do shut you off they lost a customer. sauce: I've received... 3 letters? A friend has received dozens with no effect, and two other people I know were sued with no warning.

Boot off a live USB linux distro, run fsck on it (make sure the distro you choose comes with NTFS support). If it finds errors, dd the whole drive to a backup drive, then try to fix it.

Logical increments isn't bad. Use it.
>>46624998
guise?
>>46626571
Logical increments.
Logical increments is shit if you actually know a few things about consumer computer parts. If you literally know shit all, it's still the best way to go. If you want parts better tuned for your needs, then use benchmarks for the applications most relevant to you, and read up on part quality. Just make sure you know about the compatibility between parts (big ones beeing mobo-CPU, mobo-RAM, and power draw-PSU).

Is there a general consensus on what antivirus is good for what? I've been using Avira free for a while but I have a shitty friend who may or may not intalled some shitty rootkit on my PC that could be hard to remove without formatting my whole PC.

format it. once something's sunk it's claws into windows' innards it's almost impossible to remove without causing damage. Vanilla malware that just cares about serving you ads? Yeah, that stuff can be taken off, but a rootkit, even a shitty one, means its time to reinstall.

Fags. Not sure what to do, the develop of the plugin jumped ship apparently and it doesn't support devices above an iPod 4. you might just have to use iTunes.

Is there a way to hook up a GPU fan onto the motherboard instead? Something's up with my video card and I can't regulate the speed of one of the fans, so it's always at full, headache-inducing 100%. I figure if I hook it up through the mobo it should let me work with it.

it shouldn't be. But then again I'm awful at this stuff. I never was able to get browsing the network with a file manager to work, in either direction. I have a script that callsmount -t cifs -o username=u,password=p //192.168.1.2/remote/path /local/path
Which I know is poor security but it was the only way I could get it working. And it does work, just fine, so long as I only need read access (I have an rsync script that runs my backups) And the username and password I'm giving it is my main account on the windows machine. Which owns the shared folder and has full permissions to it.
Is there a setting in Samba for "don't ever mount anything r/w" that I missed? does mount itself say "read-only unless you say otherwise"? (I didn't think it did) What else would be a likely Samba config problem?
>>46627332
And yes, after 5th gen nano Apple changed a bunch of shit so hardly any players or libraries work with them and probably won't unless some reverse engineering miracle happens. I was lucky enough to get it working from a VM.

use "-o ro" to tell mount to mount read-only
that is, "-o username=u,password=p,ro"
rw for read/write
>>46627551
also, i think mount does rw if the source supports it by default

well it's not a shared folder on the Linux machine that I'm using, since I was never able to get Windows to see one. The network share is on the Windows machine and I want the Linux box to have r/w access to it. The share isn't in smb.conf, I just have a script that runs that mount command. I didn't see anything in smb.conf that seemed like it was related to what I'm trying to do, though I know there's ten billion things you can put in there that aren't in the example comments it comes with.

is the folder shared with rw access? does the user you're logging in with have said write permission?
>>46627642
Only if you're sitting in the same position as the man in the pic.
>>46627689
that's what i feel like most of the time
>>46627661
Look on the side of the connector, does it say CPU or GPU/PCI-E?
Orientation is always "match the plastic lock with the plastic tab". The angled corners of the plastic connector don't really let you plug it in any other orientation, anyway.
Looks like GPU 8 pin power cable to me, it's meant for graphics cards.
>>46627736
Thanks man. That clears it up a bit. Only piece I still have yet to buy is the graphic card
>>46627685

Yes. Folder is shared with read, change and full control checked, both for the username I'm using and for "everyone".

I was thinking about buying an notebook cooler (external fan) for my MBP.
The temperatures this thing reaches are way too high which leads to severely decreased performance.
I was looking at some external fans, but they all look weak as fuck.

At 2 minutes in this video you can see this well reviewed laptop cooler unable to blow a napkin away.
Is there a reason for external fans being this weak? Are there any external fans that don't suck ass?

you will only need some minimal electricity knowledge. I had a friend make a fan go directly with PSU but i must admit its a bit too much power for it. he also made a fan into USB but that was less than half the power its supposed to get so it didnt really spin fast at all :P
try your luck!! hope it works for you
>>46628037
thanks bro
>>46628016
the percent-remaining number comes from the battery firmware telling the computer "I think I have X amount of charge left". If the firmware is miscalibrated, your problem happens. Some firmware will figure things out after the battery's been given some more cycles and it gets a better grasp on how it's particular cells behave. Some firmware will just be like that and there's nothing you can do.
use your laptop's battery and see if it gets better. If it doesn't, well, sorry. Tell Windows to treat 25% as critical battery.
>>46628002
There's also laptop coolers that allow you to place move fans around. It would keep that clusterfuck organized.

is there a way to recalibrate it? I saw someone mention that when I was googling the problem but I'm not sure if I could find it again...
althought I DID uninstall the manufacturer's power program because it was making my settings reset every time that I plugged the charger in
did I go full retard?
>>46627980
This is neat, but I'd prefer an about:config tweak.
Thanks anyway
>>46628116
Get it from the manufacturer's site and reinstall it. It'll probably have an option to recalibrate it (be careful when doing it, though).
It sounds like your battery's firmware is bad, however.
>>46628116
>is there a way to recalibrate it?
cycle the battery a few times. no you can't do it manually, all the manufacturer's program does is play with Windows's power-saving settings. They write a program that does that so their marketing shitheads can say "Look at our PROPRIETARY EXCLUSIVE application!" And because its easy to write since Windows has APIs for changing this stuff. I'd bet my genitals that program doesn't talk to the battery firmware.
So in my index file I have$('#result').text($('#mismatch').text());
But instead of changing the value for 'result', it leaves it blank.
But running the same code on the js console changes the value of 'result' to the value of 'mismatch'.

I know python. I have a project I want to start that I'm doing because it'll make my life easier, not just for fun. I want to learn another language to do it in. Do I learn;
Java? I want to get into android development at some point, since I spent a lot of time with my phone.
C#? I hear it's basically Java, but better/cleaner. If this is wrong, it'll affect my decision. Also very employable because of unity/iOS.
C++? I could write the project in python and experiment with C++ optimization. Would have the upside that I get much better at python, but doesn't really help my employability as much a writing a whole other project in a new language.
