Virus Buster

不知發生什麼事有這麼高分數, 拍照記念下吧 XD

買了朱古力

因為和原價比較起來很便宜, 便買了回家。 打開後發覺四種口味的分配比例不一樣, caramel 17 塊, white mint 17 塊, dark chocolate 11 塊, raspberry 13 塊。 當初因為不喜歡 caramel, 還抱怨了一下, 但吃了幾天, 味道還不錯呢 :)

宇宙中心

請先看看在幸運星廿二集的這一段:


真的是把我藏在心內很久的説話老老實實地説出來了 XD 不只是大人, 就連小孩也如此, 如當年我看 Pokemon 和其他日本動畫時, 又説全球首播 (World Premiere), 美國的自大程度可在這些小事上顯現出來, 而且還自小培養。

全球化加上網路發達, 我也很驚訝仍有很多美國人和那個總統一般見識, 認為美國是宇宙的中心 (center of the universe)。 自小我們也知道懂得多國語言的好處, 但在少數族裔比白人還要多的矽谷, 仍然聽見有人反對這觀點。 在電玩討論區經常也看到「很生氣某某遊戲日本比我們早發行」之類的言論。 看了也很擔心將來美國會否變成井底蛙的代名詞。

Convert .rmvb to DVD

I have some 704x396 rmvb files that I would like to convert them into DVD format, so that I can view them on TV using a DVD player. After looking into some of the freeware running on Windows, I came up with two tools - SUPER and GUI for dvdauthor.

The idea is to use SUPER to convert the rmvb files to a video format that GFD supports, and then create the DVDs using GFD.


[SUPER]

After some experiments, it has been confirmed that rmvb->mpeg-2 + GFD will not play properly on a DVD player, what we need is rmvb->vob + GFD.

Also, using different settings (internal encoder, video scale size, aspect) in SUPER will result in different aspect ratios in the final product (i.e. the DVD).

For example, same file using different internal encoders:

ffmepg rmvb->vob:
Aspect ratio using Media Player ~ 1.59
Aspect ratio on TV ~ 1.95

MEncoder rmvb->vob:
Aspect ratio using Media Player ~ 1.79
Aspect ratio on TV ~ 1.78

MEncoder looks like an obvious choice in my case.


[RMVB->VOB]

If overscan does not concern you, a straight rmvb->vob + GFD is all you need.

Use MEncoder.

Set the Aspect and Frame/Sec accordingly.

My settings.

[RMVB with subtitles]

My rmvb files contain subtitles, and because of overscan, the bottom half of the words are cut off.



After trial and error, the solution I use is to add paddings around the edges. Since the free tools I use cannot add paddings directly to the vob files, an intermediate file is needed, and I used mpeg-2 here.

This time, we use ffmpeg.

- Use NoChange for Video Scale Size and leave Aspect blank.
- Set the Frame/Sec accordingly.
- Use the Crop/Pad option.

- After some calculations and experiments, here's is my numbers. (Note: Try to have each side divisible by 16 while keeping the original aspect ratio intact.)
- Turn option on.
- Set the paddings color.

This is my settings.

Convert the result mpeg-2 files to vob files as describes in the previous section.


[GUI for dvdauthor]

The last step is to use the vob files from the previous sections to create a DVD. GFD is very straight forward and easy to use, here's the guide.

事件:
加 screen resolution。

解決:
1. 在 /etc/X11/xorg.conf 改 resolution setting。
2. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
3. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

事件:
在 Ubuntu 安裝 nVidia video driver。

解決:
1. 去 System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
2. Enabled NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver。 (nvidia-glx)
3. Restart

原來如此

哈哈哈, 我到現在才知道家裏的 HDTV 的 DTV function 是怎用, 之前看到有賣 HD antenna 還以為屋頂的老爺魚骨天線不能收 ATSC signals, 現在不但可看 HD, 而且還多了很多 channels XD
