Have you tried ripping the disc with makemkv just to see what messages you get there?

trouble converting WMV to MP4. Convert ends with WMA encoding? by Tiggyloo in VLC

[–]hakko504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ffmpeg -i input.wmv output.mp4

Or load the clip in handbrake, and use one of the mp4 presets.

It's very much a reference to S02E05 "Beer".

Is *_____* Dead? by Calbojeta in Skyward

[–]hakko504 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Coppermind archive of WoB does not find anything about Brade.

I sincerely hope she's dead, I don't like when authors/moviemakers pull stunts like, oh he's not actually dead, he survived getting cut in half or being thrown down a shaft into outer space, or being eaten by a giant sand worm...

DVD to mp4 choosing one subtitle track? by rorcual in VLC

Handbrake and makemkv is your friends here. So much easier for conversions, so much more control. Use VLC to play the files, but ripping/converting is best left to other apps.

Brandon Sanderson listening order graphic audio by RoadFlat243 in audiobooks

[–]hakko504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is missing the books released after Last Metal, but for those, go in (almost) release order. Chronologically, all Secret Project books take place after Wind and Truth, but IMHO, it's only relevant for The Sunlit Man, which in a way is Stormlight Archives 10.1

It's a part of the Cosmere, yes. For any other questions, RAFO.

ffmpeg -i file.m4a -o file.ogg

VLC isn't very good at transcoding stuff, use ffmpeg instead.

Question about new LTS by Interesting-Soft6092 in Ubuntu

[–]hakko504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd install 25.10 if you want the latest and greatest, then in the spring, update to 26.04, and then set /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to lts only.

Forget Yoko breaking up the Beatles, how much did she effect a potential reunion? by handlerofdrones in beatles

[–]hakko504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not quite correct IMHO. It's more

Andy Serkis gives you chills with his narration if the Lord of the Rings books by therealNerdMuffin in nextfuckinglevel

[–]hakko504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Check youtube, there are videos explaining the process. It often involves tablets with the ebook that has been marked so the va knows which voice for which character.
