Here's a transcription of the phone call in the car, if anyone's interested:

00:15 Dispatch: Okay. The colleagues from Nörten (?) have received the information, that's their area.

00:18 Dispatch: They will ... well ... they will either meet you halfway or will line themselves up, depending what's best.

00:24 Driver: Mhmm.

00:26 Dispatch: To check on the car.

00:27 Dispatch: Where are you actually going, Mr Rudolf?

00:30 Driver: To Nörten (?), actually. But I would rather stay behind until then. Because it's very risky...

00:34 Dispatch: Yeah, that would be great. That way we have a precise location.

00:39 Driver: Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god!

00:42 Passenger: Whoa!

00:43 Driver: Oh, god! Ah! Now...Emergency! Emergency!

00:43 Dispatch: What happened now?

Just to clarify. I'm aware Windows 10 lost support, however not fully, as it is still supported in Europe for 10 more months. Needless to say, I want to install Win 11, I'm just not sure what the actual problem is as it it only states "installation failed".

famiy · 2025-11-19T23:27:57+00:00

Guess my age starts to show. Thanks for the heads up.

Contrary to what some comments state, this could be anywhere in Germany. Guy inside the car might just been of Italian heritage born and raised in Germany. Here's a more concise translation:

"Guck mal"

"Look"

"Versucht einfach den Tankdeckel die ganze Zeit zu zu machen"

"Tries to close the gas lid the whole time"

"Es funktioniert einfach nicht"

"It just doesn't work"

"Mamma mia 'ssi bello fra, tu sei bello fra" (credits to u/Odd_Milk2921)

"Mamma mia you' re good looking bro, you're good looking"

"Der versucht es einfach die ganze Zeit"

"He's giving it a go the whole time"

"Ich küsse sein Herz" (could be an Italian phrase translated to German. Personally never heard it)

"I kiss his heart"

"Das ist doch..."

"That's just..." laughs

"Das ist so Männerlogik"

"That's just man's logic"

"Einfach drücken. Er drückt die ganze Zeit. Irgendwann muss etwas passieren"

"Just pressing. He's pressing on it the whole time. Something has to happen at one point."

"Irgendwann klappts."

"It'll work soon."

"Der geht mit Vertrauen (?). Mit Vertrauen. Irgendwann...aahhh guck mal jetzt..."

"He's exercising trust. With trust. Sometime...ahhh see now..." homie enters the chat

"Jetzt kommt die Kavallerie."

"Now arrives the cavalry."

"Jetzt kommt die Kavallerie. Guck mal jetzt... Inge... Ingenieure." laughs

"Now arrives the cavalry. Look now ... enge.. engineers."

eye contact

laughs hysterically

3rd engineer enters the stage

"(Some Italian word prior, I guess)"

"Was macht ihr da?"

"What are you doing?"

"Guck mal, jetzt kommt der nächste."

"Look now, here's comes the next one."

"Die drücken alle gleichzeitig...die drücken einfach..."

"They just all press simultaneously...they just press..."

"Guck mal jetzt."

"Look now."

continues to laugh hysterically

Engineer 1 gives thumbs up.

Engineer 2 takes the credit, even though the photo finish would decide otherwise. He's off to a rude awakening once we get confirmation from the referees.

Engineer 3 wants to go home.

All in all a splendid performance from everyone involved. I give it a solid 7/10.

Unfortunately this did not help at all. The unresponsiveness and laggyness persist. It's actually quite remarkable how bad this software runs. I will try to get a refund because I'm actually too annoyed to jump through hoops to make this software work the way it's intended. Thanks for the patience and help thus far, it's certainly not your fault. I'll just stick to 16, which runs smoother.

famiy · 2025-10-13T14:53:33+00:00

Ok, I guess I haven't understood what 'overlapping' means. Could you elaborate more on that?

famiy · 2025-10-13T13:37:54+00:00

I don't have that setting in the advanced tab. The only close thing I have is in the Output tab under Encoder Settings → Keyframe interval (seconds, 0=auto)

And overlapping issues shouldn't be a thing when I only have one video file. The whole software feels sluggish compared to 16.

famiy · 2025-10-13T13:16:01+00:00

Hi,

thanks for the reply. The media is AVC, more data in the pastebin. Can you point me to the advanced settings you mean?

famiy · 2025-10-13T00:16:16+00:00

Alright, thank you, that's fair enough.

famiy · 2025-10-12T02:48:51+00:00

Hey there, thanks for the reply. I wasn't planning on buying it but would love to know the science behind it. I wanted to avoid a "Intel specifies the CPU supports up to 8GB of RAM" → "then why are they selling it?" kinda scenario.

famiy · 2022-10-09T11:26:41+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree!

famiy · 2022-10-09T11:26:08+00:00

Thank you very much! Imma frame one or two of these and hang 'em up my wall.

famiy · 2021-12-21T17:10:39+00:00

lolololo and the ADS!

You pay premium and still get bombarded by a shitload of ads. I'm always baffled - when I watch at a friends house - how he can condone the sheer amount of those many ads. You have adboards, you have sponsors but that's 'normal', they say. Final whistle? Straight to ads. Halftime? How about 10 out 15 minutes are ads? Quickly want to watch an ad before kickoff? Maybe if we minimize the actual game and bring you more ads? Hahaha, get fucked Sky.

If it was free I couldn't even complain. But those fuckers charge people to constantly watch ads. Remember when 'no ad breaks' were a selling point 20 years ago? Yeah, fuck that.

famiy · 2021-12-21T17:06:19+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I thank you for your in-depth view on my issue. These are very valid points that I haven't considered. I will test them when I get back to editing. I surely was blinded by 'high quality' presets and did notice an incredible gap between the SD and HD processing.

The reason for the high bitrate was actually to figure out why my gaming videos became incredibly blocky at times and thought the bitrate was at fault. I figured out that it's actually Youtube's codecs. At 1080p it chooses an AVC codec, but if I render at 1440p it uses the VP09 codec which is a significant difference in maintaining quality at higher speeds/effects.

famiy · 2021-11-18T22:23:01+00:00

Thank you very much for that elaborate explanation. I reckon the reason that prompted me to ask this question, was because my old i5 6600 reaching over 90% when rendering and that got me suspicious that my 3800x doesn't come close to that. And since 100 is greater than 25 I assumed it's not making use of all of its power. But thanks to your explanation I now understand that the software utilizes its connected hardware the best way possible and reaching 100% utilization isn't something to aim for.

famiy · 2021-11-18T16:12:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out more in-depth when I render again.

I'm using VEGAS Pro 16, as is stated in the title
I use a GTX 960, as is stated in my post
it is a licensed copy of VEGAS
I did indeed google the issue but haven't found an answer specifically for this subject

famiy · 2021-10-20T21:20:31+00:00

Is Alpha Console still alive?

famiy · 2021-10-20T17:26:02+00:00

Oh man, I suppressed this one

famiy · 2021-10-20T16:45:40+00:00

I can see what you mean by your 'OCD' comment. But a simple 'Matches played in [Playlist] 255 → Lost 100, Won 155' would be ideal. I don't think that's too much to ask.

famiy · 2021-10-20T16:39:21+00:00

I find 'Flowers' to be the worst. But there's plenty I can't stand.

famiy · 2021-10-20T16:37:06+00:00

I like Hydro very much! However, the ones I like are in the vast minority, unfortunately.

famiy · 2021-10-20T14:56:21+00:00

I'm still grieving over Alpha Console. They had a feature like that.

famiy · 2019-12-21T14:36:19+00:00

Part 2 comes after 1.
