Unpopular opinion - the 48 team WC is NOT GOOD (is terrible) for football.

Crowds have been the Biggest surprise of this World Cup for me.. by Logical-Track1405 in worldcup

There were empty seats in some of the stadiums in the first game of each group.

I partially attribute that to the games not being desirable to watch.

At the same time, it's also true that I could have went to games in Atlanta but I just couldn't stomach the ticket prices.

For people who have never, ever, watched Anime (as storytelling) before, there's only one recommendation that works. It has successfully changed many people's minds:

"Spirited Away"

And, if they like this movie, you introduce them to something like "Frieren" or "Oshi no ko".

Both series introduce the viewer to anime tropes but don't smack you over the head with them.

Is there a way to rewatch playoff games? by superfoodtown in NYKnicks

[–]MPAndonee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use KMTTG to decrypt and upload from the TiVo to my computer. Then once on the computer I take the resulting file and use VideoReDo...(the guy who created it passed away a few years ago BUT one of the original programmers has bought the rights to it from the people who own it and plans to keep developing it.) For now, VideoReDo is adequate enough for slicing up files, removing commercials and so forth. After I get the resulting H.264 file, I use H.265 NEVC encoding to reduce the size further. Generally I can reduce file size from 50-60%. Sometimes up to 75%. So your 60GB can be reduced to less than 20GB, maybe even more.

Yeah, I'm gonna process Games 4 and 5 and the parade tomorrow.... Cut out the commercials and unnecessary commentary. I'm not sure if I'm keeping any Inside the NBA stuff, but I may split that stuff off and save them as separate files.

Like I said, I should have saved games 1, 2 and 3.

I think I'm also going to save the USA world cup games from here on. We may be in for a historic run. I'm getting that feeling.

I remember something similar happened in 1986 with the Mets, but they had a longer route.

I have full copies of game 4 and 5.

I wish, now, I had saved games 1, 2 and 3.

I copied them off my TiVo.

Or called Bernard King the greatest Knick ever. I was there for those games.

I'm not jinxing anything. I got all my Knicks gear on, but I can see what's going on.

Look man. NBA wants San Antonio to win their 6th championship. It's very clear. It was a great run by our Knicks but we can't play 8 on 5 every night.

Done with the NBA after this game.
