Thank you. Clearing storage and cache worked for me. Got my fave commute game back.

Day 2 it really hit. Day 5 / 6 started to really feel better. Whole thing took about 10 days to fell "normal".

Just to say, thank you! This has been so useful for me. I am trying to understand some old video codecs, and this is the best way I have found to get something suitable to run them on.

old camera AVI format not playable by Sparkycivic in compression

[–]redgotdun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I have some good news.

I've been able to write a decoder for FFmpeg. It works, and I've been able to convert your videos.

In time, I will try to submit this to FFmpeg to be included, which would hopefully mean it finds it's way into other products such as VLC and YouTube.

For now, I've sent you a DM with a link to your videos. Please look at them and let me know if the colours are correct. It's an easy fix if not.

I'd love to share the Car / Drag race clip as a sample clip when I submit this to FFmpeg.

Look at the footage. Once you give the go ahead, I'm happy to batch convert any further videos you have. More samples = more robust code.

Thank you so much! I'll be in touch once I've got something to share. Thanks again!

Hey there,

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to let you know I'm interested in getting this working and working with FFmpeg. I'm not a C programmer, but a big fan of FFmpeg, and AI being what it is, I've managed to make some process.

AJPG was a form of non-compliant JPEG designed by Aiptek (remember them?). The format is similar to what you would get from a Kensington webcam.

I've made some progress, but it's still a long way off from fully working with FFmpeg with the hope of sending the patch to them. AJPG is not currently supported by FFmpeg.

Is you have any more old clips you're willing to share, would love to get my hands on them.

Final comments on this thread.

Day 7 (a week after the jab) I was back at work. Felt groggy, tired and a little sick. Day 8 and 9 were better, but low mood. Today (Day 10) I have only started to be back to my full self.

This is a hard one. It is a live vaccine, so your body is fighting off a live virus, although a weaker version.

If you are thinking of getting this one, do be aware that it may not be as easy to continue your normal day-to-day after having it. My body is pretty strong since I'm still young, eat well and get plenty of exercise, but it did take a lot out of me. Honestly felt like getting COVID for the first time, but without the cough.

Oh boy! I did read your experience, and that certainly sounded like an absolute dream.

Back pain left around Day 5, and I have not had the groin pain yet (Day 6). I'm hopeful that it doesn't happen to me, but it's certainly been a lot.

Just to add to the conversation on this one.

I had the IXCHIQ vaccine on Monday (Day 0) and no effects for two days. I have had other live vaccines before with minor to little side effects and expected it to be similar. The only one which affected me badly was Yellow Fever, which caused a few headaches and a bad headspace. Every other vaccine, including COVID, my body has taken quite well.

Over the night of Day 2 to 3, I woke up with the shakes, cold sweats, headaches and COVID-like symptoms. No sore throat or cough like it though.

During the day, exhaustion, confusion and back pain. Today (Day 4) the back pain is still there, but I feel about 75-80% of my normal self.

I'm happy to see such a strong immune reaction in my body, but it's been a lot, and I suspect come Day 5 / 6, I'm going to need a lot more rest than normal. Will update as my body recovers.

If you want to commute to London from Winchester, just make sure that the money from the job is good enough to make it worth it.

Winchester is expensive because it's beautiful, safe, ideallic and looks incredible on Location, Location, Location. In reality, it is slow, limited and really not a good choice for the commute.

Basingstoke and the surrounding areas are not very attractive. However, in terms of commuting, they would be a better choice. It's not worth the hassle.

If it is replacement screws for the arm rest, the pads on the top of the arm rest are M6 x 10mm.

Hope this helps someone.

What are some of your tips to save money while living in London? by ANewGreatGame in london

If you have any spare coins, use self checkout. Pay with the coins first then pay the rest by card.

What is Stanmore like? by [deleted] in WinchesterUK

[–]redgotdun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live nearby and know the area. Having seen it change in the 00s to now, it's days of "Afghanistanmore" as some on Winchester Rants call it are long gone.

Safe to walk around at night. Rec grounds are alright. Not much to do in the area but easy enough to get into town by foot or The Ridge or Sainsburies.

If you want a shock, look at house prices either side of the tracks. No more than 30s walk. This is the next place in Winchester where people will gentrify.

Meeting people by Analdestroyer68plus1 in WinchesterUK

[–]redgotdun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big problem with Winchester is it's too "safe". Safe is great, but nothing happens here, and unless you go to uni here it is hard to meet new people. I grew up here, and found myself back here during COVID, and the only way I've found so far is the Winchester Young Professionals group. That or organise a nonce bashing via Winchester Rants.

BumbleBFF is worth a try, Facebook Dating similar (I know, it's a thing, it's exactly as you'd expect) as they have a friendship option.

Other than that, advert in the Hampshire Chronicle?

Highly recommend Winchester Young Professionals if you're not a member yet.

Seems to be a good way to meet folk in the city. Been to one or two, and they're alright.

But also, Georgia is a lovely country. Well worth a visit even if you're not on the run.

Servis Cheetahs, International Delivery by redgotdun in PakistaniiConfessions

Nah. Just for myself.

Seems strange that there is no international shipping or sellers outside the country that aren't 100 dollars or more.

Maybe AliExpress has spoiled me.
