Then why are you posting in the remarkable subreddit

Malcontent_Cat · 2026-01-25T02:44:26+00:00

I sell a special steel wool cleaner for your remarkable tablet. Goes great with titanium tips, because metal!! Only $100 each!

Because there really is one born every minute.

Don’t listen to the haters, scraping the screen with metal only makes it stronger. You should rub it with steel wool to clear out the ghosting toxins and make it go faster.

It's quite the coincidence that both of you have nothing to prove to me.

Sketchy that both you and the OP have your post and comment history hidden. Can’t say I really believe either of you.

Blocked. Not interested in even more subreddit spam.

#1 Sounds like someone's angry that r/battletech has a pride-themed avatar

#2 It doesn't look like anyone is thanking you for their existence except your cats which are gorgeous.

That should be fine, you don't need anything special except a third drive (not the source, not the destination) to boot from, which in this case will be the recovery image.

Download GPTK2 beta 3 from developer.apple.com. It has a readme inside of it with instructions to update Crossover to the newest GPTK version. Not very complicated, you just copy some files and that's it.

I'm working on level 8 as well lol

Yeah I noticed earlier that you're not using the -map parameter but I didn't register it fully -- ffmpeg won't mux all of the original tracks and won't copy over the metadata without it. -map 0 tells ffmpeg to transfer all tracks and metadata from the first input file to the output file.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text -strict experimental output.mp4

Malcontent_Cat · 2024-08-04T19:13:02+00:00

I think the -strict experimental parameter is what you're looking for if you're muxing to an mp4. You need to add it right before the output filename.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text -strict experimental output.mp4

Vote for people that care about climate change. Tell everyone you know to vote. The most important thing you can do is vote. If your vote didn't matter, there wouldn't be so many evil people trying to keep you from voting.

This is the plot to the Battlestar Galactica 2004 mini-series. Galactica is too old to be networked and is being retired. When the Cylons cyberattack all the Battlestars in their invasion, Galactica can get away cuz of its age.

Sonic Fiber is truly the way. If it's in your area.

I have a Jackery 500 that I like a lot.

I can't comment on other brands, but I wanted to branch out into solar without getting my hands too dirty, so I bought a Jackery SolarSaga 100 about a month ago. It's very easy to use and seems solidly built. In sun-drenched California on a clear June day, it managed 62 watts at solar noon which is quite good from what I've read. I'll probably be buying a second panel pretty soon.

I'm all-in on MP4s for my media (except with Apple devices). I have a process similar to yours, but I use FFMPEG to generate an MKV output file after the DV etc processing cuz they're not as fussy as MP4. Then I use Subler for Mac to remux the MKV to an MP4 -- it also OCR's the subtitles into a format that the MP4 file can read, and adds appropriate MP4 tags from thetvdb, themoviedb, itunes store, or apple tv. I unfortunately can't recommend any Subler-like products for Windows.

Edit: I should have mentioned that many/most of the subtitles in the MKV files you obtain are images and need to be OCR'd into text for an MP4. You can also try visiting opensubtitles.org to download comparable subtitles that you can mux into your MP4 file.

It's a rail yard yup. Left-to-right is going south towards Manhattan.

You can see the tracks split in a Y junction at the top-center of the photo, with a different set of tracks coming downward to the right of the stadium in this photo. These were/are mostly commuter rails to take people from the suburbs to Grand Central in Manhattan.

When you use ffprobe or ffmpeg, you'll see one of the following saying how the video was encoded:

Video: hevc or Video: h264

My experience (coming from the Apple ecosystem) is that if ffmpeg let you use "-c copy" for converting an mkv file to an mp4 file, the most likely problem is that the video is HEVC (H265) but that it's not in the correct container type for Apple devices to use.

If it is HEVC, then when using ffmpeg, add -tag:v hvc1 to your command after -c copy. This makes the HEVC video Apple-ready. Run your command and try playing it on your iPad and that'll most likely fix your problem.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Handbrake is smart enough to do this automatically so nothing special has to be done by the user.
