yeah ok
thanks 👍

So, I've been looking into Camtasia... what can you actually do with it, briefly?

I'm mostly just curious about your take since it looks like you know your way around Camtasia pretty well 👍

hey, if you want it, go nuts🙂

can I just grab this via an update
not like I care that much, just wanna see if there's actually any difference👍

honestly, I don't even know 🙂

maybe try switching to a different audio player and see if the same crap happens again
🙂

I don't know about you guys, but I’m just staring at my screen wondering where it all went sideways. Is it just me? Everything feels like it's sliding into this weird, gray area lately. You look at the news, you look at the streets, and you just think... what now? It's like we're all just waiting for the other shoe to drop, right? Just sitting here, sipping lukewarm coffee, watching the chaos unfold from a distance. Honestly, it’s exhausting. Does anyone actually have a plan, or are we all just winging it? Probably the latter. Always has been. kaže:
Hey.

Anyone know a decent program where I can mux an .AVI file with subtitles while keeping everything in that same .AVI format? Basically just want to hardcode or integrate the subs directly into the movie file itself. Any leads?

Honestly, it’s like this one forum is the only place on the internet where you see a million different threads about this exact stuff, and let’s be real—they’re all basically the same thing anyway. Just a endless loop of the same topics over and over. Does anyone actually even care anymore? 🙂

Man, that guy really gave you a solid tutorial. Good stuff.

Look, if that software ends up being a total bust, you’ve still got these two options. Just give 'em a shot and see which one actually works for you. Or don't. Your call. 👍

so i was thinking about those old-school pocket divx encoders... remember those? just tiny little things that promised the world but mostly just gave you a headache. why did we even want them? honestly, who actually had time to sit there waiting for a file to rip on a device that probably had less processing power than my smart fridge today? weird times. anyway, does anyone still have one of those things lying around in a junk drawer somewhere? probably just dust and broken dreams at this point.
Format factory... what even is that? Just some random utility floating around in the digital ether. You ever feel like everything’s just getting more complicated for no reason? Like we had perfectly good ways of doing things, and now we need ten different apps just to change a file extension without breaking the whole system. It's exhausting. Is it actually useful though, or just another way to clutter up your hard drive? Who knows. Probably both.

if I remember correctly, you’re gonna need

some decent English language pack 👍

just install it, and once you reboot, everything should switch over to English automatically. plus, if it turns out to be a pain, you can just uninstall it whenever you want 👍

it's just way too slow 🙂

yeah, so

thanks 😁
didn't realize that before

driftingpilot8 said:I figured it'd be way easier to navigate if I could just pop open a few File Explorer windows instead of having to click through groups or hunt down individual folders... you know, just seeing everything laid out separately in the tray for quick access.

Look, you can always just toss a shortcut for whatever folder you need right onto your desktop.

Kind of like how I've got mine set up here.

Not sure if there's a way to pin those specific icons directly to the taskbar, though.

Roger Brown50 said:thanks 🙏 i mean, it probably won't wreck anything if I just turn it off, right? honestly, I have zero clue what this thing is even trying to install 😁

look, if you don't even know what's being installed, you might as well just kill it 😁
better safe than sorry before something totally breaks 😁 👍

Roger Brown50 said:It was fine at first, just some random stuff popping up now and then, but lately? Every single time, it tries to push those five specific items on me. I let it finish, thinking we're good, but then I shut the damn thing down, restart it the next day, and there it is again... doing the exact same thing.😁

Go to start-->type in Windows update-->click it, then look over on the left side for the "Change settings" option (hit that) -->just select "Never check for updates"🙂

I'm betting you're running a bootleg version of Windows—if that's the case, this is probably your best bet to make the headache go away once and for all.👍

driftingnomad68 said:.... and absolutely no shady business involving dodging payments for non-free stuff 🙂

Can you walk me through that one? Like, what does it matter if someone actually paid for it if they've got a license or whatever 😉

mistytiger37 said:how do I get Windows 7 to let me run an app—like a game—across two monitors at once?? I swear you could do this in older versions of Windows...

just hit the Windows key and "p" at the same time

that should pop up a menu for your displays. just look for the "extend" option or whatever... think it might say "duplicate" if you want them to show the same thing, but yeah, check there.

feralsailor72 said:hey! Is there any way to roll back Windows to an earlier restore point? Every time I try to run a system restore, it just gives me two options and they're both from today... I really need to get back to somewhere around a week ago.

Look, you should see an option for an advanced or specific restore, or something along those lines. You can manually punch in whatever date you actually want for the system restore there.🙂

cosmicrider5 said:Look, GOM plays mp4 just fine. I haven't run into any issues myself. If you're missing a codec, GOM usually pops up a "Find codec" prompt when you try to open the file. Just click that and install whatever it digs up.
If you want to fix which app handles your files, just right-click the file > properties > Opens with (change), or just mess with the settings inside the player itself.

I used to be able to pull off mp4 playback on older versions too, but apparently the latest version of GOM doesn't support the mp4 format anymore—which is weird, honestly.

hollowmarlin19 said:So I grabbed that first player you suggested, GOM, and it actually worked—got the sound back 👍
Does this mean all these files are just gonna open in GOM now? And can I mess with how the icons look?

PS: looks like GOM can't handle MP4s though. Tried it and it's complaining about some missing codec again, but then RealPlayer handles MP4s just fine. Guess I'll be juggling both.

Yeah, whatever icon GOM assigned to that video is what's triggering it to open in GOM, but you can change that if you want🙂

With GOM, different formats usually show up with different colored icons😉

And yeah, I noticed the MP4 issue with GOM too. Just install those codecs I mentioned earlier; the player that comes bundled with them should handle pretty much any format you throw at it👍

hollowmarlin19 said:So I’ve got these two file types, Flash video and AVI video, right? Everything's fine until I try playing those AVI files through RealPlayer. I get the picture, sure, but there's zero sound. Is this some kind of codec issue? Because my Flash video files work perfectly—picture and audio both show up just fine.

I tried messing around in the RealPlayer settings thinking that might fix it, so I went into Preferences - Media types - Manually configure Media Types for RealPlayer and checked the box for AVI Video to make sure it was "assigned" to RealPlayer, but nope, still nothing. No sound. Clearly, that wasn't the fix.

Anyone actually know what the catch is here?

just try using different players
Grab the latest version of GOM player or maybe
that combined community codec pack—just install everything and it's already set up for you. With those codecs, you'll end up with Media Player Classic - Home Cinema

and if the video file isn't broken, it should play fine on any AVI player out there. 👍

Everything's translating fine now, no issues at all 👍

Jacob Foster11 said:translate.google.com

It’s just not working. Maybe it's an issue with Opera or maybe the site itself is just being difficult.

Whatever, I'll just paste the link into Internet Explorer and try running it through Google Translate instead. 🙂

Turns out it really is the website... can't get it translated at all. Just getting that "Sorry, we can't translate this page" message from Google Translate. What a joke.
