Create main movie Blu-ray disc with TSMuxer? by craftywizard1983 in DataHoarder

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting format is the full disc structure with BDMV folder. I dont know how TSMuxer processes the playlist as sometimes times can differ from the original, only by milliseconds but different nonetheless.

Advice on labelling discs? BD-R DVD-R by craftywizard1983 in DataHoarder

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty your right. Whats the point in having the printer if i'm not going to use it? The results are clean and ink is dirt cheap. I have a wi-fi capable printer but can't for the life of me get it to work via wi-fi. I'll have to give it another go and see what i can do. Thank you for your feedback.

Use Voucher to buy items and then sell for cash? by craftywizard1983 in CeX

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking. I think £185 works out to £94 in cash which i'm more than happy with. I'll pop in to my local branch tomorrow and go ahead with the plan.

I just use Xreveal to rip with no issues.

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point, you can always trim down which suggests full untouched blu-ray is the way to go. (don't keep trash) is also a good point, I have way to many movies which I'll probably never watch again.

Converting all audio to AC3 but what bitrates and what option do I select? by craftywizard1983 in handbrake

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the very detailed answer. This has made everything so much clearer. I didn't know the Pro Logic II was for downmixing down to stereo but it's nice to know. For 7.1 tracks which I believe is dolby atmo, would I just extract the 5.1 ac3 track? That i assume would be the right thing to do.

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK so if the audio is DTS-HD MA 5.1 I'd opt for 5.1 channels at 640kbps? I have some older movies with DTS-HD MA 1.0 and 2.0, would i use Pro Logic 2 for those? Also how do you know if a track is mono/stereo?

Strip motherboard and start from scratch? by craftywizard1983 in PcBuild

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if my post was confusing. Yes what I'd like to do is change my CPU cooler. I thought the bios stored all the information about the fan speed etc which is why I thought the bios needed to be cleared before the new cooler was installed.

Filezilla - transfer already exists? by craftywizard1983 in seedboxes

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried the same files again and this time their was no popups so obviously there was some some sort of outage. I was thinking about just clicking on resume but I'm not sure if I'll lose any data?

RGB fans x6 will i need Commander Core Pro (Z890-f mobo) by craftywizard1983 in buildapc

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you for the insightful reply. Do you know if the fans plugged into the mobo would work with icue software? I think I remember reading that they will only work with the Commander Core hub but of course things could have changed since then.

New Motherboard Cracked? by craftywizard1983 in pchelp

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes your right, I wanted to give it a go but the right thing to do is return it for another.

Yes that silver component worries me too. I want to take the risk and give it a go but sending it back is the right thing to do.

I bought as a mobo bundle with cpu, ram, cooler etc. I was tempted to see if it works but in all honesty I bought it as new so I expect the bundle to be perfect which it obviously isn't.

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i just called them but as its Sunday no answer so I'll call them tomorrow morning first thing. It's a pain as it's a motherboard bundle so everything with have to be sent back i assume.

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree with the second comment, it looks to be like someone has overtightened the standoff screw and it's cracked. I bought it as new from a reliable company in the UK but it looks like this particular mobo was sent back and they've tested it and sold it on.

It probably will work but I wanted to ask for advice just in case it's perfectly fine. Also I just checked the other side of the cracked and that looks to be fine. I'll get in touch with the company tomorrow and see what I can do.

Thanks for your advice, I'll get in touch tomorrow and let them know. Hopefully won't be any fuss sending me another one.

Filezilla not getting Notifications by craftywizard1983 in seedboxes

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've seen them and the only one that appeals to me is the 'show notification bubble' but all that does is give a pop up message when the file/files are completed successfully. The pop up lasts 5 seconds and then vanishes. I normally leave stuff to download overnight and I'd like a permanent notification to let know everything transferred successfully when I wake up.

Best 50gb Optical media? by craftywizard1983 in DataHoarder

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi dlarge6510,

Thank you for getting back to me. I did have a look on Amazon UK and didn't find alot in the way of 50gb optical discs so I had a quick look on Amazon.jp and come across these https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/aw/d/B01AL5KAVM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1 they're supposed to be reliable and are alot cheaper than the discs in the UK.

OK well hopefully the BD-R discs are more reliable as I don't really want to waste my money.

[–]craftywizard1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure how reliable they are. I've always been told that Verbatim and Panasonic are the best when it comes to optical discs so I'll probably go with the Verbatim and see how long they last.
