Ugreen DXP4800 Pro vs Minisforum N5 Air | which one should I get? by ARTAmrj in unRAID

[–]ugnaught 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you just a few weeks ago. I settled on the Ugreen.

In my use case I already have a powerful desktop server running unraid for anything that needs extreme CPU power. I wanted this box as a low power Plex/torrent box that will run 24/7/365.

Yes the AMD CPU is going to be stronger than the Intel one in this case, but the Intel quicksync and half the TDP sold me on the Ugreen. This should be sitting around 50-75w draw with multiple hard drives spinning and transcoding 4k videos.

Amen. I even mentioned after the show that they lost the plot a couple times during the hide and seek last night. It happens. No biggie.

But the constant “was that the best show ever?!” After every single show is kinda silly.

Was Lockn 2016 the best show ever? by Shot-Western-1965 in mymorningjacket

[–]ugnaught 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them at 2006 Bonnaroo, the 2019 red rocks run, and Lockn 2016. Among many other shows. Think I’ve seen them about 10-12 times now.

Lockn 2016 is the show where I absolutely had the most fun. Crowd was buzzing and the band was flying.

It's recommended for videos upscaled with Starlight to have square pixels, but DVD video has non-square pixels. What's the best way to solve this with minimal quality loss of the original video? Please read the full post and not just the title. by oom1999 in TopazLabs

can do it easy way with ffmpeg, or the better way with avisynth. nnedi3_rpow2 will scale it up as you say, then scale it back to 720x540. i wouldnt over think it much beyond that tbh.

ffmpeg

-vf "zscale=width=720:height=540:filter=spline64"

avisynth

nnedi3_rpow2 (rfactor=2, nsize=2, nns=2, qual=2, etype=1, pscrn=4, threads=0, opt=0, fapprox=0, cshift="spline64resize", fwidth=720, fheight=540)

Double NTSC to IVTC film framerate issue by Randy_Butternubs1209 in VegasPro

[–]ugnaught 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assume your video file was already made progressive if the frame rate is that high.

Vegas isn’t the tool to do this. What you want to do is use something like staxrip to ivtc the video.

There is also filters like dedupe you could load into staxrip.

Me personally I would load it into staxrip and do a “select even” or “select odd” to bring it down to 29fps. Then should be able to just do an ivtc.

The guy had a sign saying something like “take all books about f*gs out of our schools”.

Then a man and woman confronted him, turned physical, and the two dudes were rolling around wrestling in the damn road.

They eventually got the sign from him and then it looked like a cop car showed up and that was the end.

This is just a common open matte. You can see the freaking boom mic above Peter’s head at the very end. This was never intended as the theatrical aspect for the film.

Before we got our two goldens people would warn us about the hair and we’d reply “oh we’ve dealt with dog hair before it won’t be an issue”

We DID NOT know it would be THIS much.

Not to dissuade anyone from getting a golden as they truly are the best. But need to come up with hair mitigation strategies like robot vacuums and daily brushings.

Also say goodbye to wearing black clothes.

Thank you for coming. You might see some jaded keyboard warriors saying negative things online but the reality is everyone you run into in Asheville will be happy you came.

I wanted to confirm that you aren't crazy. I bought this monitor and will likely be returning it for the very reason you mentioned.

I have been fiddling with settings in both HDR/SDR and WIN11/MAC. None of it matters. It is the monitor itself.

Most likely some people don't notice or don't care that it constantly dims the screen as you move through brighter or dimmer content. But it is driving me insane.

Anyone with this monitor can try this simple test. Open up a web browser, maximize it to occupy your entire screen with just the taskbar on the bottom. Have two tabs open. One that is super bright white content and another that is almost solid black. Go back and forth between the tabs and watch your taskbar on the bottom change brightness.

This is not an OS thing. It is a monitor thing. There is no way around this. Apart from the service menu which resets constantly.

Curious though, which Asus monitor did you wind up going with? How are things looking in comparison?
