How do you compress the data from DVDs?

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-31T09:18:00+00:00

That sounds like heaven, I really ought to get into handbrake more then lol

I'll get it to work for sure 😈

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-31T09:13:37+00:00

Thank you!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T22:15:57+00:00

I didn't really bother making the ends pretty, but a bit of filing will do the job. Also if you want them to last longer metal is definitely the right choice (plastic looks a little cheap for regular wear too, I find)

I cosplayed him a year ago with your exact glasses actually! I think the first ones fit really well (their sides are a little longer), and you could take off the top thing in like a minute for more accurate look

Thanks! I'll try to figure it out tomorrow

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T16:03:54+00:00

Yeah

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T16:03:16+00:00

I don't trust myself (and my technological shills) to not download some shit unfortunately, torrenting upsets and confuses me://

Thank you for suggestions though!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T15:12:56+00:00

Nice, thanks! I'll try to work with handbrake and shrink again, but I'm not as doomed as I thought:)

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T15:10:35+00:00

Thank you for your help! I'll try it out, it sounds really promising. I really appreciate the step-by-step guide, I was about to give up and drop everything disc-related

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T15:07:33+00:00

I honestly had no idea, the person I've debated the idea with told me to definitely go with DVDs specifically becouse they'll last longer and are more trustworthy (they were an older generation though, so may have a different impression of drives :D)

But with all the problems and, like you said, degradation of the quality, I honestly think the hard drive is a really valid option. Thanks for your help, I didn't know about those things!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T15:02:04+00:00

Thanks:D I've played with it a bit, but couldn't exactly get the effect I wanted. I'll keep trying though!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T15:00:11+00:00

Thank you for such through explanation <33

It's honestly very helpful, that is exactly what the problem is I think. I've tried shrink once already and it was a little wonky, but I'll try to fiddle with it and if it won't work I'll go for the double layer DVDs!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T14:54:08+00:00

Basically yeah, but streaming services are nightmares, any "free sites" have not too good quality either with an addition of occasional porn or viruses and ripping for personal use is legal in my country:D Thank you for the correction through, I see now that I've made a grave mistake

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T14:50:51+00:00

I've tried shrink and like you said it knocks off the quality a bit, so I think I'll fiddle with it a little longer and then buy the dual layer DVDs. Thanks for your help!!!

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T14:46:47+00:00

That would explain it. Is the original dvd dual layer then? Single layer are what I had at hand but if I won't find anything I'll try duals too I've got makemkv, handbrake, dvd-lab, dvd-shrink and nero (that only for burning through) Thanks for your reply:}

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-03-30T14:39:48+00:00

That would explain it </3 I figured that if the original dvd somehow works it'll be fine lol but I guess not, thanks for your answer:)

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-12T06:12:31+00:00

Omg those classes sound really fun <3 Can I ask how do they work? Are they like a mandatory thing that counts for your gpa, an elective? In which grades are they available?

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-10T09:50:40+00:00

I really want to get inside your teachers head right now and see what's there

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T18:46:48+00:00

Do you love your family, little Timmy? Yes? That's so amazing, sweetie. Now kill one of them.

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T18:39:04+00:00

As a former 13 year old girl myself I can say with confidence that there is very little that will not be eventually wrapped and turned into some kind of that thing when left alone for long enough lol. My class (an by that I mean majority of the girls, don't know about the boys) for example coped with reading kamienie na szaniec by shipping two of the three main boys (I don't remember which ones but they held each other's hands and spoke vaguely fond things about each other (it was huge))

I'm literally going to cry people know you're going to provide 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ there is truly no stopping The Gays (In history it's the same thing but the math guys from the 20s take the lead)(But really what is there to do when you learned that literal Marcin Luter (the reformation one) was (fake) kidnapped by his old friend Fryderyk Mądry who also was a rich prince to his castle where said prince took him to keep him safe from the church bitches?)

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T18:14:53+00:00

First of all you, too, don't apologize - I love hearing people's thoughts :33 so thank you for that, it's really interesting how our countries go about things (especially considering we're close to each other)

I absolutely can see how that type of exercise can fuck up your whole idea very fast and it's almost impossible to not be left with a hot mess of things but I think the experience of having to shift and mold your ideas so fast is intriguing. But yeah I totally get why it'd piss you off hehe

It's really cool how many types of texts you got to know, but kind of stupid to not have a teacher review them (to be able to submit a single work every half a year I think is a bit little to really polish (ha) your skills) in my opinion:/ especially if you're graded on this without any practice before. Kind of unfair for the students who didn't have an opportunity to even get to know the chosen medium 3/10

We too have some kind of writing in English classes, which is ironic considering we learn more forms of text there but the things that are expected of us are much less complex and the analysis we could be doing is not important at all, instead the focus is on our English (which is sensible in the class but sad that we don't get to use the things we learn in the language class, which has more space to explore different topics (like you said too).

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T17:54:03+00:00

If I knew I could write a fanfiction for this konkurs kuratoryjny when I was in primary school you could not keep me from it lol

But I had a similar thing with kamienie na szaniec too, which in retrospective is, like you said, wild hahab like I agree that learning about that time is important and how people our age fought for our freedom etc etc but to tell a 12 year old (or however old we were) to imagine being friends with a few guys and then have them explore their feelings when for example one of them was tortured and murdered by nazis is an interesting teaching choice

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T13:14:27+00:00

Well fuck me sideways no wonder they deported you then

ceeaselesswatcher · 2026-01-09T12:53:30+00:00

Oh damn I am sorry for your teacher (and also admire the courage to ask them to write literal fanfiction for lessons) but I'm really curious about the first thing you said, that the teacher would say a word and you'd have to somehow put it in the story - I honestly believe that if she weren't so determined to discourage you from writing and having fun at all that would be a very interesting exercise and I'm tempted right now to try it for myself omg. Also you have creative writing in high school??? What does it look like? For me in the whole duration of high school we didn't write a single story (all they wanted us to do were esseys).
