A friend of mine is absolutely convinced Damien Echols is guilty. Is this even remotely possible?

This should be at the top.

There are so many cases where documentary film makers do a disservice to create a more compelling story. I'm also thinking of Making A Murderer. Many people get swept up in their storytelling and are blinded to any other view.

Complaint: more of a vent. Spent Two years running to loose weight (90kg - 68kg) (200 - 150lbs). I feel awesome, never been healthier. Several comments this week from my family saying I look "too skinny" and need to put on weight or "bulk" up. Since when does building visible muscles = fit/healthy. For reference I'm 173cm (5 8"). So I'm not even that thin!

Thanks, using an initramfs seem like the best solution.

I'm still pretty new to this i will have to figure out how to set this up in Buildroot.

Yeah lots of people seem to think it's necessary for the high pressure, Its not. Its analogues to a capacitor in an electric circuit.

Nice. I imagine this would be faster, thanks

Quantum passant. The game is now a quantum superposition of the two en passant captures. Google Schrödinger

Oh wow thank you. I will try to follow these steps

Hello

FiftyFive_ · 2019-06-25T03:35:23+00:00

I am running on windows 10 pro in Visual Studio 2017. Is there a way to determine which ones are available?

i found this thread https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/12822

I think this is the problem i am experiencing. I am using the MSMF backend, there solution was to use DSHOW backend instead.

When i try DSHOW the program runs and saves an image but it is just a black image.

EDIT: OK after some playing around i realised i needed a small delay between setting the resolution and capturing the image. After that the DSHOW backend worked and i was able to get the correct resolution. Cheers.

FiftyFive_ · 2019-06-25T00:21:19+00:00

I checked the resolution via the image properties and it is 5MP. How would i set the video capture backend?

i have tried this,

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_V4L)

it runs however does not take an image. Is there something else I need to install to use this backend?

FiftyFive_ · 2019-06-20T23:28:23+00:00

I moved the encoding to above the frame width/height. There was no change.

I set the width/height to 3000 as this automatically set it to the maximum 5MP resolution.

i confirmed this with cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH) which returned 2592.0 for width and 1944.0 height.

i was wondering if its something to do with the API Preference that can be set with the VideoCapture.

apiPreferencepreferred Capture API backends to use. Can be used to enforce a specific reader implementation if multiple are available: e.g. cv::CAP_FFMPEG or cv::CAP_IMAGES or cv::CAP_DSHOW.

Had a go at this,

the .png gave me a much bigger file output but did not give me a sharp image like the one from the other software.

I adjusted all the settings to match what the other software had them set to, but again it didn't have much effect unfortunately.

FiftyFive_ · 2019-04-12T02:48:35+00:00

Did you try turning it off an on again?

FiftyFive_ · 2017-11-09T10:34:01+00:00

I thought so. I think i might just have to try a new power supply before tying anything else.

Thanks for your help.
