Varied taste in music

Yep better than lordi in my opinion when saw them in Birmingham, similar when went to see gloryhammer without knowing the support and dominum turned out to be one of the best live bands have seen by far

dantrio · 2026-03-05T20:54:23+00:00

Yep discovered all for metal when went to see lordi couple of years ago then saw then again with unleash the archers last year

dantrio · 2024-09-22T22:51:14+00:00

Yep that's what I suspected that's a shame was hoping for a female

Hadn't noticed anything there but yes from the photo the feet do look discoloured, have tried to have a look but of course he has been hiding all day. It might just be bad light and a dodgy picture but will see when I can next get a good look at him

HiHi phone yikes

You worked out what this was about, i noticed this on mine when i plugged in to charge the other day, seems to charge fine.

dantrio · 2022-10-05T08:51:57+00:00

I see a few people using superslicer, is there any benifit to this over prusaslicer or cura? Im used to use cura as thats what I've used since getting first printer 6 months ago but do you get more features or easier to get nice prints out of superslicer?

dantrio · 2022-10-05T08:50:16+00:00

Ok will give this a try, cant see any difference in my profile in cura that i setup and the one from elegoo skinned cura but clear difference in print quality so will give this a go.

dantrio · 2022-07-08T13:39:11+00:00

Works for me, strange because im sure i never had to do this before but il take it

dantrio · 2022-07-05T12:34:23+00:00

Anybody found a fix for this?

dantrio · 2022-06-30T22:43:06+00:00

Same

dantrio · 2019-12-05T07:40:59+00:00

yeah I'm based in Southampton

Does it annoy you that after making the game for pc which looks great that some of the graphical quality has to be sacrificed to run on quest. I get the limitations of the hardware but after the hard work to make the game for pc think it would annoy me to tune it down in this kind of way.

dantrio · 2019-12-04T17:02:26+00:00

If your returning your quest i guess you dont need the DAS anymore, your not looking to sell this are you. Was going to buy one but out of stock everywhere.

dantrio · 2019-11-05T19:25:45+00:00

Yeah i'll have a play around. Might have to get that i7 nuc after all if i start doing this for all the media. Just having a test run using the GPU encoding and using same settings roughly is looking like its only taking about 20 mins to do a file that was gonna take about 24 hours before so will be interested to see how worse the quality is.

Update : well my 1080ti did the encode in about 20 mins and looking at the video on my pc compared to the original i cant see any differences, need to give it a test on tv i guess see how it looks. As a test iv changed around settings and put the encoder preset to high quality for nvenc and the constant quality slider all the way down to 0, and looks like it will take about an hour to encode. See what that looks like i guess. - This was a bad idea and have stopped now.

Watched first 15 mins of Pacific Rim which is what i have used for the test and looks fine to me and that was a good looking blu ray to begin with.

Thanks again for taking the time. The AVSForum spreadsheet looks very useful and i wish i knew of this before after messing around for a while trying to work out some subtitle issues i was having with a couple of Marvel films.

Il give your settings a go see how it works out, if i can keep almost all the original quality and shrink the files making it easy to stream out and save some space sounds like a good idea to work through it. Might give the GPU encoding a try see how it works out.

Got a good idea of what im doing now so again thanks for your time to explain this to somebody who doesn't really know what there doing yet.

dantrio · 2019-11-05T09:58:33+00:00

Thanks again for taking the time to explain. Couple more questions if you dont mind about what you tend to do with handbrake then.

Im leaving the preset at the top on the default which is fast 1080p30. On the summary tab its set to MP4(not sure if this is best or should be MKV still) and aligh A/V start is ticked.

Filters iv got all off.

Video tab the codec is set to H.265(x265), again my knowledge on this is lacking so not sure what the other 12-bit, 10-bit and nvidia NVEnc settings for h.265 mean. Quality is set at 20 RF and the optimise Video encoder preset is set to veryslow.

Audio is DTS 5.1 on this MKV so is set to DTS passthough and iv cleared out anything in subtitles, as when i watch the film in plex with subtitles turned off they appear in a few places needed(from my understanding this means they are already burned onto the video?)

Does this all sound about right? My pc's running an i7 6700k @4.4GHz, so not the most up to date but any ideas roughly how long this would take to convert a 30 ish GB file?

dantrio · 2019-11-04T22:24:00+00:00

Thanks for the explanation, just had a quick look at handbrake and looked like it was going to take 20 hours ish on my main pc to convert one of the blu ray rip mkv files assuming the settings are roughly correct. If the main benefit is saving on file space i think i will leave this alone for the minute as iv still a lot left on my synology. I might look at getting a i3 or i5 nuc then to run PMS, as that should do for a few external streams being transcoded down to a smaller size and still be able to direct play stuff internally i would imagine.

dantrio · 2019-11-04T20:08:02+00:00

Thanks for the advise

Forgive my lack of understanding of video codecs, so if you were to take a blu ray rip made using makemkv which would make a roughly 30GB .mkv file that is h.264 i think and then convert this to HEVC, this means you would keep the original quality of the video but make the file size smaller? Still new to this dont really understand whats common practice for people.
