I am able to download videos one by one on a certain website that hosts some hundred or so videos. I am a paid subscriber to the website so I'm not doing anything illegal. (and no, it's not po). The process is labor-intensive for each video. I have to click on each link to get to where the player shows up. Then (in chrome) I open up the webpage developer, go to the network tab, play the video until i see where it shows up on the developer network tab, right click to open up in new page, then onc...

I use 2 GPUs on a machine (GTX770), and I have 2 screens connected to the 2 outputs (DVI1 and DVI2). I CANNOT decide to plug a screen on one GPU and the other on the other GPU (for good reasons... ;-) ). Let's name MS the main screen: the end-user interact with it. Let's name TS the other screen (technical screen, which is used by our system for technical stuff). My issue: when the system boot (Linux version 3.1.9-1.4-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.6.2 (SUSE Linux) ), sometime the keel...

I have Fedora 24 installed using Hyper-V on top of Windows 10 (anniversary update) Trying to get the Hyper-V vGPU working, but Fedora does not recognizing it, and it doesn't even recognizing the video device if i don't have the vGPU enabled. Anyway to get some video acceleration or even just fullscreen working on this setup or should i look at different Hyper-visors? Side Question: Would i be better off testing this with Server 2016 - Which has pass through? I started this expedition after i not...

I have read this post however I still have a question. I understand that saying 32 bit processor implies registers of size 32 bit long each of which can hold up to 2^32 data. My question goes little bit further. So during the execution cycle, how does 32bit register span into the main memory? In order word, does it mean that each register can deal with 2^32 memory addresses so that any instruction in this region can be fetched in one clock cycle? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

And if yes, how can one set certain sets of cores (different in quantity) to different users? ...

I have been searching around and comparing specifications to build a budget gaming PC. On the Intel site, i have been comparing CPUs and I noticed that the I3 CPUs, while only having 2 physical cores as usual, have 4 threads, meaning that they are hyper threaded. But with the I5 CPUs on the other hand, they have 4 physical cores and 4 threads, meaning that they are not hyper threaded, which is kinda weird for intel to hyper thread the I3s and I7s but not the I5s. As common knowledge, virtual cor...

I have a watermark.png that was made to overlay videos with 1280 width. When i use a different size video, the watermark is totally out of proportion. So i'm looking for a single command that can scale the watermark to fit the original video size. I do not want to resize the original video. This is the current working format i use which works fine with 1280 width videos. (watermark placed left-bottom) -i video.mp4 -vf "movie=watermark.png [watermark]; [in][watermark] overlay=1:main_h-overlay_h-...

I've used both plugins (independently of each other) off and on the last year or so and I'm trying to understand the differences between them; specifically how "scopes" work. In Policeman, there are a number of sites under Origin. I have the impression that if site A loads site Y, site B loads site Y, and site Y loads site Z, if I configure rules for site Y about site Z they apply when sites A and B load site Y. In uMatrix the blue box specifies scope, which appears to be global, site.com, speci...

I have a junker laptop that I want to run Linux on and just SSH into. I believe that the BGA of the videocard has some damage, do I really need to reflow this sucker before using it, or is it safe to install Linux on it, ssh in, and just keep the lid down so the monitor stays off?

I have piriform speccy and cpu-z and they both show i have 800 mhz ram but win task manager shows 1600 mhz speed...you might think it is supported speed but nop, its just speed.why is that? ...

It depends. It completely depends on what you're programming. If you are programming apps or need to use programming tools that require higher resource usage then I'd go with #1 and even go up to 16 GB ram. BUT, in general, both are perfectly fine. You can even get a laptop with lower spec and it should be fine. Again, it depends. Oh, and GPU only matter if you are programming graphics related software. I mean, do you need good graphics card to develop a servlet? No. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have more than 5 Terabytes of video files. Currently stored on a Synology NAS. I want to backup to the cloud. However, video storage is not a natural fit to neither "cloud disk" (Google Drive) systems or "cloud backup" systems (CrashPlan) because: Data is written once and rarely used. There are no file revisions. Delete should be prohibited. Modifications (viruses, ransom-ware) should be prohibited. So, my question is: Is there a write once, read only cloud storage, specifically one working wi...

Hi I am trying to stream a video file (located in local machine's hard disk.) to home network/LAN. I am trying to do this from a week now. I tried all the resource I could find then then as a last resort asking this question here. 1. Video file is present in local machine's hard disk.2. need to stream through HTTP protocol.3. Any GPL server would work , however would prefer ffmpeg or vlc. Thanks. I appreciate any help on this. This intermittently works. But no audio is coming , only video is r...

I have a system that records video to disk, and sometimes the system has an error. I'm trying to recreate the recording system in the lab, without the actual camera (it's expensive and there aren't any spares), to attempt to replicate the usage patte that causes the error. I'm having trouble taming ffmpeg. Background: The video is captured in one thread continuously from an rtsp:// URL provided by the attached camera with this command: ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.0.10/h264 -c copy -map 0 -f segmen...

Just noticed something as I was playing around with the Startup folder of the Default user in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10: For some reason, on all of my installs of Windows 10, the Default user's startup folder does not exist where it should be, C:UsersDefaultAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup, whereas in Windows 8.1 it exists. I've seen on the web that it apparently was replaced with C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartUp starting in Win7, but I have thi...
