I need to copy my dvd, that I own and pay, to my computer, because I edit them to extract only the main movie configured with french audio track for my childrens.  At 4 years old, they are not able to skip the ads. go to the menu, select options, choose french, start the movie.  I create them an edited copy of the dvd with &lt;a href="http://www.dvdshrink.org/"&gt;DVDShrink&lt;/a&gt;, then put it in the reader, and it automatically starts with the french audio track.  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But now, I will use the extended features of this software.  The option I am using is the &lt;a href="http://www.dvdfab.com/dvd-to-mobile.htm"&gt;dvd-to-mobile&lt;/a&gt; feature.  This product worth about $100, but to convert all my dvd to dvix, it worth it.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I did some tests with a lot of the pre-configured formats offered in it, and I finally found THE perfect conversion profile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After selecting the dvd files (vob) as input, I use this profile: &lt;b&gt;dvd to mobile - Avi - generic.divx.avi.audiocopy&lt;/b&gt; profile.  I only open the &lt;b&gt;Edit &lt;/b&gt;window to choose the &lt;b&gt;2 pass&lt;/b&gt; (high quality) conversion, I left everything else configured by default.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I like the most about this profile is that the bitrate is automatically configured to get &lt;b&gt;0.2 bytes per pixel&lt;/b&gt;.  If I have more resolution, I have more bitrate.  I do not configure a &amp;quot;locked&amp;quot; 1000 mbps profile that will be better with smaller files and not enough for bigger resolution movies.  With the locked &amp;quot;bytes per pixel&amp;quot; ratio, I always get the exact same quality for every movie.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The default configuration is locked to 0.2 bytes per pixel.  I did not found where it is configured, this is not in the XML profile file, I think that this setting is &amp;quot;hard coded&amp;quot; in the binary file, but that doesnt&amp;#39;t matter, because this is the profile I prefer.  A 2 hours movie creates a 1.25 gigabytes file, meaning that the avi file is 4 to 6 times smaller the the original VOB files, with an excellent visual quality.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Second thing I like, is to&lt;b&gt; keep the original audio track&lt;/b&gt;.  It does not reconvert it, it keeps the original AC3 5.1 audio track from the dvd and copy it directly into the AVI file without any conversion.  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That creates a really good quality movies that I can only test on my computer for now, on the ps3 in 3 weeks!  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Something is strange, I tried the exact same profile but in the &amp;quot;generic&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;avi&amp;quot; section and it did not use the 0.2 b/p ratio.  I also tried the ps3 profile, which creates a 5.1 aac audio and a H264 video, and I really did not like the result.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5402457810524740827-5204035129882077130?l=www.fredericmalenfant.com%2Fblogger' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5402457810524740827/5204035129882077130/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5402457810524740827&amp;postID=5204035129882077130' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5402457810524740827/posts/default/5204035129882077130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5402457810524740827/posts/default/5204035129882077130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.fredericmalenfant.com/blogger/2009/12/from-plastic-to-divx.html' title='From plastic to divx'/><author><name>Frédéric Malenfant</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09366309093442595840'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402457810524740827.post-2201404996319983092</id><published>2009-11-17T23:33:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T23:38:01.983-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Attention!

on their web site to explain us why they are so green.&lt;div&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But this afternoon I got the absolute confirmation that they are NOT.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had to do a simple Bios Update on my HP Pavilion a6077c computer.  I bought that machine 2 years ago, it came preinstalled with Windows Vista.  My bios was version 2.51, I wanted to upgrade to the latest, 2.53, that may help me solve a memory trouble I have with windows 7, that only allow me to use 3.25 gigabytes of my 4 GB of memory.  On their site, there is a lot of downloads available for that machine.  But all of them are mentioned to be only working on Windows Vista.  That is because the machine was sold with Vista preconfigured in it.  So I downloaded the Bios Update setup utility, for Vista 64 bits, hoping that it will work on Windows 7 64 bits.  During the setup, I got a message telling me that my Operating System is not compatible with the bios update application.  I tried to run in in Vista SP2 emulation Mode, but I got the same message.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I contacted them with their &amp;quot;live chat&amp;quot; utility on their web site.  I finally got the confirmation from technical support person that Windows 7 is not supported, so I can&amp;#39;t update my bios.  WHAT?  A motherboard bios is not supposed to have something to do with the OS, they should provide a kind of &amp;quot;bootable iso image&amp;quot; to let me upgrade my bios even if I want to run Linux, or even Dos 6.2!  Their solution is to buy a new HP PC that is configured with Windows 7, to get the Windows 7 support.  That is SO green!  Put my desktop tower to the trash, what a great solution.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That&amp;#39;s the third time they do this to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2 years ago, I got to put my HP scanjet 2200c color USB scanner to the garbage, because they decided that they will NEVER release driers for Windows Vista.  Because the scanner was released during the Windows XP era, only XP will ever be supported, nothing else.  I tried to sold it, but no one wants this scanner that PERFECTLY WORKS under windows XP, but not on vista.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, the same thing happened to my iPaq rx1950.  When Vista was released, they confirmed that I will never be able to sync my iPaq with Vista.  That&amp;#39;s over, another HP hardware to the garbage.&lt;/div&gt;

   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lorsque je lis une nouvelle en ce sens, j&amp;#39;ai toujours un doute que finalement, ce n&amp;#39;est pas le meilleur ou le favori qui est en place, mais que la personne gagné juste par sympathie pour une raison qui ne devrait pas être.  Est-ce que les citoyens ont voté pour elle pour lui laisser une chance parce que c&amp;#39;est une femme?  Je ne crois pas, et j&amp;#39;espère sincèrement que non.  Mais si c&amp;#39;était le cas?&lt;/div&gt;

show, I got the suggestion to use Windirstat.  The screenshot seems to be very neat, so I tried it.  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let me tell you something: the screenshot of windirstat is the ONLY thing that is better than spacemonger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, windirstat scan several directories at the same time.  That is bad and makes the procedure very slow because the hard drive head is going to one place to another to scan every folders and there is a big lack of performance here.  Spacemonger analyse it in 1 thread so the hard drive head is not moving, and the scan is a lot faster.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Second, the result displayed in the virual map is not usable in windirstat.  It represents EVERY file of your disk, it is very slow to render, and it&amp;#39;s impossible to select a whole folder from this view, you can only click on a single file.  In SpaceMonger, it shows you a representation of the biggest files or directories from a zone, not every one big like 4 files in 1 pixel.  And you can zoom in by double-clicking to view more, and it&amp;#39;s easy to select a containing folder, not its content, from the graphic view of spacemonger, which is impossible to do with WinDirStat.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, forget windirstat, use &lt;a href="http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/"&gt;spacemonger&lt;/a&gt;.  Their latest version 2.1 is offered at 24.95, but they also offer their &lt;a href="goog_1256822108627"&gt;old version 1.4 which is &lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php"&gt;free&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, certainly less performant or beautiful, but works really fine, and can be used on Windows Vista and Windoed 7 even if it was created for Windows XP.&lt;br&gt;

 &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;J&amp;#39;ai décidé de faire le transfert suite à la couverture biaisée qu&amp;#39;ils font de la course à la Mairie de Québec.  Première, à chaque jour depuis des semaines, ils titrent en haut de page, les 4 à 6 premières, Course à la mairie.  Puis, ils parlent de 4 à 6 pages de temps de ce que Regis Labeaume a fait de sa journée.  Ils ne parlent que de lui et de personne d&amp;#39;autre.  Pourtant, il y a, je crois, 5 candidats en tout qui seront listés sur le bulletin de vote ce premier novembre.  Les gens auront la surprise de constater que Regis n&amp;#39;est pas seul.  Comment peuvent-ils appeler ça une course à la Mairie, si selon eux, il n&amp;#39;y a qu&amp;#39;un seul candidat?&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un des candidats en lice s&amp;#39;est démarqué, selon moi, par l&amp;#39;apport de plusieurs points d&amp;#39;intérêt.  Ces points, amenés 1 fois par jour de façon sérieuse et après avoir beaucoup lu et analysé le sujet, devraient au moins mériter citation, attention, ou au mieux, débat.  Ces points pourraient être amenés en question à M. Labeaume, pour savoir ce qu&amp;#39;il en pense, par nos journalistes.  Cependant, rien n&amp;#39;est fait.  Depuis le début, AUCUN des points amenés par le candidat Jean-François Fillion n&amp;#39;ont été mentionnés dans le journal Le Soleil.  Ni dans le journal de Québec, d&amp;#39;ailleurs. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lors de mon appel pour me désabonner, j&amp;#39;ai insisté sur les raisons pour lesquelles je voulais annuler et j&amp;#39;ai bien mentionné que je voulais que la raison soit conservée et mentionnée à qui de droit.  La préposée à qui j&amp;#39;ai parlé a bien noté et m&amp;#39;a dit que toutes les raisons de désabonnement étaient considérées.  La raison donnée était que je trouvais que la couverture des autres candidats était négligée.  De tous les autres.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ce soir, (5 jours plus tard), j&amp;#39;ai reçu un appel du Soleil pour essayer de comprendre pourquoi je m&amp;#39;étais désabonné.  J&amp;#39;ai répété la raison, mentionnant que je n&amp;#39;aimais pas leur couverture de la campagne aux élections municipales.  Et bien devinez quoi?  Au Soleil, le client n&amp;#39;a pas raison.  Ce sont EUX qui ont raison.  La madame m&amp;#39;a &amp;quot;engueulé&amp;quot; et raccroché au nez !!!

 If I put a gadget on the desktop, I will never see it.  If I put it &amp;quot;always on top&amp;quot;, it will go over my application.  The sidebar was using a reserved place on the right of the screen, and no windows was going over or under it.  That was great.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You know what?  Because of this, I decided to look at some alternatives, and I realised that Google Desktop application provide a sidebar.  They have similar gadgets.  And, guess what, you can choose (listen to this Microsoft) to the place where you want your gadget, on the bar OR on the desktop.  You have the choice.  Why MS decided that the gadgets now go only on the desktop, and make the sidebar disappear?  That was a great mistake.  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now our company is planning to create a Google Sidebar Gadget, and we are not sure if we will work on the MS gadget.  I can&amp;#39;t believe that MS did that.  They open the door to Google for their sidebar. I plan that Google will really increase their sidebar during the following weeks. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Suggestion to Google: Create a &amp;quot;stand alone&amp;quot; version of the gadget sidebar, without the indexer (google desktop engine).  I only want to use the sidebar, not the desktop search engine.  I disabled everything related to the indexing in the desktop options, keeping only the sidebar functionalities.&lt;/div&gt;

chez nous.  Pour la piscine, une thermopompe, pour la maison, un climatiseur, afin de se baigner entre 80F et 85F, et d&amp;#39;être à 23C sec à l&amp;#39;intérieur.  Du plaisir et du confort réuni.  Cependant je me demande si j&amp;#39;aurais pu tout faire avec seulement la thermopompe de piscine.  En effet, la température de l&amp;#39;air soufflée par la thermopompe est environ 10 degrés sous la température ambiante, et cet air est sec.  &lt;div&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;C&amp;#39;est exactement le type d&amp;#39;air que je veux envoyer dans ma maison pour le confort en été.  Je n&amp;#39;ai rien trouvé pour le moment, mais je me demande bien s&amp;#39;il existe 1 système qui pourrait récupérer cet air froid et l&amp;#39;envoyer directement dans ma maison, au moins en partie, afin que je puisse en profiter, ainsi avoir 2 dans 1 avec un seul appareil.  &lt;div&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il me semble que l&amp;#39;idée n&amp;#39;est pas si bête, je suis même surpris qu&amp;#39;aucun produit ne soit offert sur le marché pour combler ce besoin.  Comme c&amp;#39;est là, je refroidi l&amp;#39;air d&amp;#39;un côté avec ma piscine, et je la réchauffe de l&amp;#39;autre avec le climatiseur.  Bravo ! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My own review:  This game is really difficult to play.  The &lt;a href="http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/06/water_warfare"&gt;screenshots &lt;/a&gt;make you think that it&amp;#39;s a funny and simple shooting game with water.  Let me say that this game is a kind of very difficult &amp;quot;Unreal Tournament&amp;quot;, but the big guns are replaced by all kinds of water guns.  The goal and difficulty is the same.  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ok I&amp;#39;m not the best 1st person shooter player in the world.  But if I am not able to pass the practice level, will my childrens be able to? Maybe if they were 10 + of age, but not at the age of 4 and 6.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the first wii game I play that use all the buttons of the wii remote + nunchuck.  It take a lot of practice to be able to control the game correctly.  There is another strange behavior: if you are in normal mode, you aim enemies with the wii remote pointing at the screen.  But when you zoom a target, strangely you now have to aim with the nunchuck joystick.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I paid for this, it&amp;#39;s impossible to get a refund on wiiware games, and I will certainly never play this game again.  This is a great lost of money.  This is the third wiiware game I bought and I start to think that all those games are some scrap.  My next try will be for &amp;quot;World of Goo&amp;quot;, for 1500 points, I hope it will be really better than the other games I tried on the Wii Store.&lt;/div&gt;
