whats the difference between "for" and "while" i mean i can use while the same as "for" is for faster or something?

>>61735949
>whats the difference between "for" and "while"
for-loops are typically count limited; while-loops are not.

>i can use while the same as "for"
Yes, but it's pointless and leaves you with unnecessary variables in scope.

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    //do something
}

vs

int i = 0;
while(i < 100) {
    //do something
    i++;
}

I'd like to use an old crt tv as a display for my computer. I have a GTX 760 with a DVI-I output, which can supposedly output an analog signal, but I have some doubts about all this.
I've been doing research and the most relevant resource I found was a thread on the Kodi (XBMC) forum, where a bunch of retards ordered cables that didn't seem to work, except in one instance where it worked slightly.
Has anybody here done this? Can the somewhat new nvidia cards really output an analog signal properly through DVI-I, or would I need to invest in an active converter?

Okay boys, I'm really cheesed off about this one. I'm running Android. I just found out that every time I try to MMS a picture to my friend, she's received a goddamn link to Google instead of being able to just view the image in her messaging app.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior? Ideally, I'd like to keep using Google Photos and Messenger because I'm used to them, but if I have to switch then so be it.

Related: lately when I tap the 'share' button, it goes to this stupid intermediate "select everything you want to share!" screen. If I wanted to share an album, I'd have tried to share a fucking album. I *only* want to share an image when I hit the 'share' button! Am I crazy, or is this new behavior? (pic related, it's the obnoxious multiple-selection step)

For loops are used to clearly communicate that you're iterating over a range. In modern C++ and other languages, you can even do a "for X in Y" where you don't even have to worry about using an iterator, it just automatically steps to the next item in whatever the collection is (array, list, etc.). For old-school C-style for loops, it makes it very clear which direction you're iterating (counting up vs down). Of course, you CAN change the iterator in the loop, but that would be annoying and confusing to people who have to maintain your code.

Here's an example of being a retard:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    printf("I'm on %d\n", i);
    if (i % 2 != 0)
      i += 1;
}

That's just profoundly irritating. Especially if the main body of the loop had a lot more logic, and the additional modification to the iterator was visually buried.

Oh, and most languages that have a 'while' construct also have a 'do ... while' construct. That's like a while loop, except that you're always going to execute the loop body at least once.

seperate mp3 is highly recomended; secondary gps isn't needed as much as you would think, unless you are an uber driver or something. In that case - invest in a car charger for less than 5 dollars on alibaba or perhaps no more than 20 bucks at any store that would sell something like that

For mp3 - I reccomend Sony Walkman no bs. a newer one obvi like the NW-A20 but if you dig into the audiophile forums you can find almost as good quality for a third of the price. I have a red aw-20 and love it.

How come opening a link to twitter on my phone means that there's a 50/50 chance that it actually shows me the tweet?

Hey, I have this networking issue.

My router has 4 Ethernet ports, but I can only get Internet access on one of them, coincidentally that's the port which has a blue sticker above it (the others have orange, red and red).

I've logged into the router and found that the DHCP service was disabled for LAN ports 2, 3 and 4, so I've enabled it there and restarted the router. The only difference it made is that I can now access the router on those ports (previously I couldn't even do that), but still no Internet.

Wi-Fi works fine.

The back glass on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact broke and I want to replace it. Having it done is very expensive considering the actual value of the phone so I thought of doing it myself. I can get a genuine back glass for about $15. Doing this takes only a few minutes but you need to heat the back glass so it shrinks and can be taken off. In YouTube clips that show how to do it they use some kind of industrial/engineer heat blower guns. Can I do the same thing with a regular hair dryer?

only solution i see at this point is to mount the ISO via a virtual disc program like Daemon Tools (if you don't have the ISO, you can get it from the Microsoft website), then after mounting it you can install the OS that way.
The problem with this method is that you won't be able to format your hard drive, but that's how it goes...

>>61743386
GNOME is not what you would call lightweight. What I find difficult to understand is why you aren't just customizing Xfce to your preferences. You can adjust everything about the panels, from their size and contents to their very existence. If you don't like the "dock" then get rid of it. Add launchers to your "taskbar" panel instead. I'm sure you can get it looking the way you want.

Not him but I had a piece of shit prebuilt from '07 I'd bitch about on the internet a lot at the time. It was a tiny computer and I had to open it up and manually clear out the dust periodically (1-4 times a year, don't remember) to prevent it from overheating.

Its idle temps were I forget, but it would overheat and crash at 90 degrees, so clearly it wasn't that far below at idle. It was a desktop, so different from a laptop as you have, and the smaller case fucked performance for "aesthetic" purposes, but if this gives any context at all I think your faith in old tech not delivering should be little. You can go for it if you can be arsed but my '07 prebuilt desktop was cucked out the box.

Where exactly goes the configuration? I read something about pasting the configuration into a file and then including the path in some place, but I don't know if I sould include it in sites-avalible or in sites-enabled.

I kinda rushed it so if I missing something, just tell me.

I'm trying to set up network sharing on my drives through Windows 10, and some drives are sharing just fine where as others aren't letting me in. They all have the same permissions, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Please advise.

>>61744984
Google can do it, but only on desktop version.
Tools => size

>>61745289
depends on your preference as well as what kind of games you play
fast-paced games (such as fps) benefit more from higher refresh rates, while slower games that have a lot of information on screen (such as simulation/rts games) tend to benefit from higher resolution

>>61745314
What's the client device? What do you share? A whole disk?

>>61737776
yes, https, you've been using it for years.
if you don't want them to know what sites you're visiting, use tor.
if you don't want them to know you're using tor, get a vpn, and use tor on the other end of the tunnel
if you don't want them to know you use a vpn, deploy your own vpn, buy several IP addresses, and custom write tunnel software to disguise your vpn traffic as http requests.

other than that, you're screwed

Is it wise to regularly use torrent to get videofiles on an android phone, or will this kill the eMMC memory soon?

>>61742694
it may not necessarily be faulty memory, but mismatched memory
unless your motherboard specifically supports it, you can't just jam two nonidentical dimms into it, they need to be the same size, make, and model
try removing the 8gig stick
also run memtest64 on tests 5 and 8 for an hour or two

>>61739281
Get an aur helper and install it. Or grab the source from the aur website and manually run it your self with makepkg
>>61745566
>then probably pacman -U discord-[buildnumber].pkg
No.
You need to build a PKGBUILD to be able to have a package that pacman will install.

>>61745314
I guess just creating folders on the drives and sharing those worked out.

What's the appeal of newer processors? moar cores?, higher clocks? You wanting to decrease your video encoding times down to 15 min for a 2HR video with all quality settings jacked to the max? I mean what's the point? Surely unless unless you are doing loads of video work (then you could just build/reuse another pc and dedicate it for this task in a headless manner, just RDP into it when needed) your current cpu is fast enough, your games don't use all 8/16 cores, hell a lot only use single core, the same with programs. In any event some processors (FX) are actually worse in gaming tasks than there predecessors so you basically waste your money for no gain. Other than bragging rights. Sooner or later you hit a wall. Once you hit least 60 fps with AA/AF/Quality jacked to the max with high res (Some games are fps locked to boot) it all comes meaning less. I used to be like a lot of you constantly upgrading but after I got older and I realized that the games I played/tasks I was doing were all being done perfectly fine,overkill really, with my current setup I quit upgrading.

Try the "net use" command build in Windows command line, this may tell you something is wrong so the file sharing failed

>>61745817
Windows workgroup sharing requires two things: Access permissions, you must have the same account on all network computers and for Everyone access (guest) the Guest Account must be activated. Also Folder permissions must be set accordingly so for music say give permission to users,guests for read only while giving you and administrators full control.

are "professional gaming chairs" just really overpriced and colourful office chairs or are they actually good for people who sit a lot?

i've wanted something like an aeron for a while, but it's out of my price range and i noticed somebody selling "professional gaming chairs" in my area for like 1/3 of what i'd have to spend on an aeron. doesn't seem to have any bells ad whistles or stupid shit, just says that it's "ergonomically designed for long periods of sitting" and the amazon reviews seemed pretty positive.

that'd be awesome, as it is i get 3-5fps for my usual encodings, with (tweaked) medium preset hevc, at 720p
encoding a 2 hour video in 15 minutes means you're doing 8 times faster than real time, so for a 24fps video, that's 192fps encoding!

Alright so i need to install win 7 but since the board doesn't have IDE i'm using an IDE to USB convertor instead...First time i plugged it in the "press any key to boot from dvd" came up but just did nothing for a while, now any drive i try either doesn't get recognized at all/doesn't boot the CD or just gives out "reboot and select proper boot device"

What the fuck?

External disk crashed in the while playing an mp3 through winamp.

I've looked through the /g/ Data Recovery section and other info trying to figure what happened to the disk.

Pic related is what I see in diskmgmt.msc and when it starts, it notifies me that the disk is uninitialized.

From what I've gathered, the MBR was damaged. I've tried using TestDisk EaseUS Partition Master Free, and MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to restore the MBR. Unfortunately, all three tools couldn't locate the disk.

not necessarily

if you specialise in an area, just wait for the right job to come around, instead of trying to learn everything to be able to apply to any job

chances are, no one job is going to utilise all those skills and you'll just forget the ones you don't use in a few months into the job

What about the cas latency?.

Would the EVGA brand override the Kingston?. The Kingston is also 1.2 volts. I just read that lower volts are almost always better.

Override what?

>>61747518

I figured the Kingston had better specs so you were telling me to get the EVGA because of the brand. But now I understand. The specs on the EVGA are actually better/same. Cas latency is a tiny bit slower but the speed is a lot higher?.

I was using HandBrake to convert a DVD into mp4 files. The audio I converted from AC3 to AAC, but the quality is obviously worse. Should I even bother with converting to AAC or what?

>>61748337
>>61748337
LOL it actually worked but mouse and keyboard all stopped working in the setup screen

>>61748378
Did you change the default settings?

What are readmes usually used for in git? I see a lot of them being used with images and descriptions about the project.

>>61748405
By default HandBreak sets to convert the audio to AAC, 160kbps. All I did was to increase it to 192 as it is that much on the DVD. But the audio on the DVD itself is AC3 format.

>>61748448
i'd recommend not transcoding the audio from a dvd unless it was in PCM format

>>61748388
>>61748388
>>61748388
LOL now with the ps2 mouse it says a driver is missing and no device drivers were found

Today really is my lucky day it seems like

Seriously this is fucking unreal first the data loss and now this

>>61748491
I guess so. I tried making an episode with AC3 audio and it sounds normal. The file size is not any different also.

>>61748577
same bitrate = same size
if you're using the same bitrate, all you're doing is hurting quality by doing a lossy>lossy transcode with no benefit

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01101001 00101110 00110100 01100011 01100100 01101110 00101110 01101111 01110010 01100111 00101111 01100111 01101001 01100110 00101111 00110001 00110101 00110000 00110001 00111001 00110100 00110000 00111000 00110000 00110111 00110101 00110110 00110011 00101110 01110111 01100101 01100010 01101101

>>61748596
In the audio options of HandBrake if I have just selected AC3 and the 192 bitrate will it still transcode/convert the audio and possible hurt it?

>>61748577
>>61748596
also, be careful to tell handbrake to copy the audio, don't tell it to convert to ac3, otherwise you might be doing a transcode from ac3 to ac3

>>61748633
i'm not sure if it's smart enough to recognize that it can copy the streams, given identical input/output parameters
better to just tell it to copy, that way you're sure it will just copy them as-is

>>61748638
>>61748663
Have you actually used HandBreak? Cause I have no idea how I would set it to just copy. I see no such option.

>>61748701
I just realized, but maybe that is what "passthru" implies?

>>61748741
according to
https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.0.0/advanced/surround-sound.html
yes, "passthru" implies unmodified stream copy, so that's what you want to use

i have a ridiculously large rendering i want to open, specs are pic related. Any ideas? photo viewer and honeyview wont even touch it.

I have a question regarding a laptop.

Laptop recently died. Only need it for writing up reports and browsing the net now and then.

Could you perhaps give me some suggestions please?

Ideally, I need to spend no more than £200 and it needs to be new.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, guys.
By the way what bitrate would you suggest for shitty 755x574? I am doing 1776. It is definitely more than needed, considering I got the number from some 720p releases.

>>61748911
use CRF, not CBR/VBR, unless you have a good reason for having a specific sized output

in base64, why is TEST not encoded to VEVTVA
when I do "echo TEST | base64" I get VEVTVAo=
where did the 'o' come from

>>61748541
Decided to temporarily run with win10 since it has a greater chance of installing, and then later on when i got a SATA-based drive hooked up directly to the machine i will try the win 7 install dvd again which seems like the best solution

Learning C++ inheritance and would like some clarification.
So when you inherit a base class as public, it's basically a copy of the original class like Java/C#? But when you use private or protected it just changed the access of the derived class?

>>61746173
good call. had one in the basement that i assumed was too big to fit under the desk or would just be a bitch to keep sliding in and out, but i measured it and it's ok. plus there were holes in the corners of the frame that were the right size for the smallest caster stems, so now i have a rolling recliner for a little over $10 worth of parts plus the $40 i had spent on the chair like 4 years ago.

Anyone knows a good torrent site for JAVs?

>>61749011
Also what is the point/use of protected? If inherited classes use protected members what's the difference to it just using private? What's a scenario where you'd use protected?

>>61748975
By that you mean the Constant Quality number, I gather? After the number of 22 it says RF, so I guess it is Constant RF. Why though? Because it automatically decides to give more bitrate to the scenes with more movement in them?

>>61749123
yes, and it stands for constant rate factor
this is an oversimplification, but basically it means that it will hit a consistent level of quality, rather than bitrate.
it basically gives you one benefit of 2-pass VBR (more consistent distribution of "quality"), using only one pass (faster), the other benefit to 2-pass VBR is that you can target a specific final file size, but this doesn't always matter, and likely doesn't in your case, either

>>61749178
What should I go for? 21 gave my a slightly smaller file size than now, and well, 20 a slightly bigger. Respectively just bellow 1700kbps and just above 2000kbps. If I want relatively the same size I should probably go with 21, but I have my doubts. I guess it is on my to decide how quality I want.

>>61749178
-- oh, crf also takes some of the trial and error out of 2-pass vbr, with 2-pass vbr, the quality level you get is dependent on the content of each specific video you use, you can't use the same values and expect similar quality with different video, where with crf, you can
so this makes crf a better choice for people who want it to "just werk", as well, as they can pick a crf value once, and it will more or less give consistent results with any input video

What else can i put on my hdd.I have / mount and im only using 15% of the 100gb i partitioned out./home is on another drive.What can i use the rest of the ssd for?

I keep getting an error anytime I try to save with Editor. I don't get why they installed this without my knowledge.

i need something other than the win10 photo viewer, what do i get family?

>>61749268
lower crf = higher quality, higher bitrate/size
assuming x264, it's something like this;
>30 = ass
~26-28 = low quality
~20-22 = ok quality
~16-18 = decent quality
<15 = high quality

experiment yourself to see what your own preferences are, some people care more about small differences than others, i'm a bit pickier than most, i've found

also note that the preset (ultrafast ... placebo) does little to affect quality in crf mode, only the bitrate needed to hit the crf value, so you want to use the slowest preset you can put up with, for a smaller output

What's a good super cheap web host? I'm currently with 247zilla but my files have started getting randomly deleted which is pretty concerning. They claim to have 24/7 support but in reality there's zero support and their website is half broken. I don't mind no support, as long as the service actually works...

Looking at GitHub, NoSupportLinuxHosting, and KimSufi, but could consider others. Any recommendations?

Why cant win10 setup find any drives, is it because of the USB setup shit? The SATA one is connected properly

How can I change the background color of .pngs to match a custom theme here? It just uses the default theme color.

Well the preset is currently on fast. So If I make it on faster it will just shit out a (slightly?) bigger file, but faster?
Encoder profile is on Auto. If I remember correctly High profile makes worse quality?

you can't, thumbnails for png's are composited into flat jpeg's by 4chan servers

There's your problem.

Replacement for the Stylish addon? Or is hacking the firefox css necessary

So I'm looking to build a server out of some old towers that supported winXP.

I'd like to use a Linux based server to build a searchable database that would primarily be accessed by mobile devices.

Could someone point me in the right direction to start this project?

yea, that's the idea
>Encoder profile is on Auto. If I remember correctly High profile makes worse quality?
you should leave that on auto (picks the lowest profile needed to satisfy other parameters)
you likely have no reason to touch this, it affects decoder compatibility by setting artificial restrictions on codec features. unless you're trying to make video to work on old hardware decoders, like for a PSP, then you can just leave it on auto, it will pick the lowest common profile based on other settings you've set

Is there really no way to use a Xbox 360 wireless controller on my Windows 7 through bluetooth?

>>61749728
nginx+mariadb with some frontend search indexer

>>61749677
B-but Windows Subsystem for Linux :(

>>61749741
No but SOME xbox one controllers do use bluetooth and work on PC with it. You can tell by the glossy part of the controller. Your only other option is to get the wireless adapter.

Just like how I thought about it. Thanks.

Under GNU/Linux the find_package(foo REQUIRED) cmake command usually just finds something installed by the package manager. How does it find them in Windows and OS X? And what's the best way to make sure that the same version of each library is available on all platforms?

When you inherit a class, you're not making a copy, you're extending the original class.

When you inherit as public, all public members of the base class are accessible to external code calling into your new class.

When inheriting as private, no external code nor any code deriving from your class can access members of the parent class.

When inheriting as protected, no external code can access members of the base class, but later classes deriving from your class can access public and protected members of the parent class.

In my opinion, it was a mistake to make the default private. It should have been protected.

>>61749745
Thanks!

So I'm constantly switching audio outputs on Windows to go between speakers and headphones. I'd like a hotkey or something to make it faster. What should I do for that? I'd like to just do something natively; there seem to be a lot of little programs for it, but I try not to get a thousand tiny purpose-built things like that.

>>61749905
Oh okay, thanks.
So if base class has a member x which has mem address 0x0001, a derived class will also share this memory address for its member? It won't, say, make its own version of x at address 0x0002?

all i have to say is FUICK MTP its fucking garbage and is now preventing me from moving files to my fucking SD card on my fucking phone iots a piece of shit and fuck the ashjole that invented it i dont need my phone to prevent me from using it like this fuck fuck fuck fuuuuck just use usb storage you utter piece of shit why why why why who the fuck thought this stupid horseshit was a good idea? i shouldnt have to borrow other peoples computers to add apps to my fucking wiiu anjd i cshouldnt have to take it up the ass from kmart of a card reader the fucking phne that has a fucking SD card slot should have no fucking issue with doing this

You don't buy parts from pcpartpicker, it's just a tool that checks compatible for parts and such, it links you to the cheapest site to buy that part from, like Amazon or Newegg

>>61750124
use adb or ftp

also, what did you expect from a microsoft technology?

So what are browser caches and why does clearing those caches/cookies help stop website glitches from occurring

like lets say you click on something on a website and it keeps looping you back to someplace, then you clear the cache and it lets you through

>>61750210
i don't recall ever seeing someone who says otherwise here, you're preaching to the choir

>>61746940
Is my question too stupid?

>>61750124
You can try booting to recovery and see if shit works any better there. If it just won't copy certain files, you can change their extension or zip them. Otherwise a network transfer is your best bet.

A CRF of 20 just ended up producing a smaller episode than the original settings. This makes me kind of anxious.
Also does it really matter if the extension is going to be m4v or mp4? Isn't it suppose to be basically the same thing? By the default if I select an mp4 container the file ends up with an .m4v extension.

>>61750672
>A CRF of 20 just ended up producing a smaller episode than the original settings. This makes me kind of anxious.
by original settings, you mean 1776kbps CBR?
that's easy to explain, with CBR, it uses that many bits per second, regardless of the content, so you get a consistent size regardless of content, but the quality can vary wildly
for example, a slow/still scene will look better than a fast-paced scene, as the former doesn't need as many bits as the latter, but you've given them the same number of bits
with crf, the codec is able to use less bits on on the scenes that don't need as many, and give more to the scenes that do

as for mp4/m4v, i don't really use mp4, but i don't think there's a difference between those two (except the extension)

>>61749751
That's been released to normal win10 already.

>>61747483
sorry for taking this long to answer. I guess I'll have to agree with you

thx for your replies and advices, I really appreciate

>>61750773
Yes. I get the logic, but it is just trippy. Does the file size of the original actually matters? Because the first like 10 DVDs have like 5 episodes per disk, but later it drops to 4, yet the file size of the disk as a whole changes from like 4.2GB to 4GB.

>>61750220
It is where downloaded site assets are stored so they don't have to be re-downloaded if you go back to the site or to one that shares assets. The site should pass a value in response headers to tell your browser when it needs to get an updated version.

>>61750373
/sqt/ is literally just a tech support general what are you on about

>>61750865
And by this I mean of course that in the later disks as it is almost the same file size, but less episodes, the episodes do get some extra bitrates. So the question is really if original bitrate matters with CRF.

>>61750865
>Does the file size of the original actually matters?
no, actually, it doesn't
what happens is this;
original file > decoder > uncompressed data > encoder > new file
the data must be decompressed before it can be compressed with another codec, hence why it's called transcoding, and not just encoding
since it's actually the uncompressed data being encoded to the new format, the size of the original compressed data does not matter, only the content matters

>>61750898
but what causes the glitches?

>>61749772
Did you just reinstall your driver's or uninstall them first? If you didn't use DDU to uninstall them and then reinstall them.

If i have extra space on an ssd, would it be worth while of makin a partion and using it to house downloads(http/ftp/torrent) then move them to to their archival drives?

>>61750997
seperate partitions on the same drive are just asinine unless you're on linux and have a seperate /home partition to not lose shit when you upgrade/reinstall. also I don't know that you'd see any benefit from storing your downloads on an ssd rather than just directing them to their archival folder when you start the torrent, I mean drive speed doesn't effect download speed

>>61750917
>>61750946
-- these is an indirect affect of the original filesize that can affect the size of the output, and that is that a higher quality input has more content (detail)
for example, all else being equal, lets say you have a 100kbps version and a 5000kbps version of the same video, for most kinds of video, the latter is going to have a lot more detail, so even though the uncompressed data is the same size between the two, the latter will result in a larger transcoded file, using crf, as it has more content/detail than the former

>>61751039
Im on linux
/ is a 100gb partition on the ssd,ive got 150gb unallocated.
/home is a completly different drive its self
I have another drive that that media and etc goes on
I just cant think of what else to use the unallocated space for

>>61751074
>these is an indirect affect
there is an indirect effect*
getting tired, excuse me

>>61751081
use the space as storage for an extra set of your backups, you never know when a drive is just gonna die or sometimes shit just randomly gets corrupted, so extras is a good idea

>>61751117
I already have two sets of backups on 2 seperate disks

>>61750970
Dunno, it shouldn't happen normally. Maybe that's why they are glitches.

What's the best mouse to buy? G400 is dead for the second time after replacing the original cable.

>>61751755
find the memory address and paste it into your browser

you don't

>>61751828
I can just say to not get the 402 as I have it. I even bought a second one, probably because I am retarded, even though I already learned the truth. It is not bad, but the mouse wheel is very stupidly made. It is what really brings it down. It is going to start making problems for sure, mostly because it gets dirty and then it is very hard to clean as you can't remove it in any way without breaking the mouse.

Where on a Linux client are the client certificate and private key for my VPN supposed to go?
Something like ~/.openvpn?

>>61750946
Probably one last question. HandBrake usually says the source is 720x576, but what it automatically chooses for resolution is different. Usually varies between something like 704x576 to 708x576. What it does is to remove some extra black bars are that in the source video. I shouldn't really care, right?

>>61739182
the answer was to ssh into it instead of using the web broswer. I was running the LEDE os

>>61752541
i usually only crop things if there are large bars (for example, most bluray films are a 2.4:1 picture in a 16:9 frame, that is, the content is 1920x800, but the frame itself is 1920x1080, so there's big 140 line bars on the top and bottom), but if you're certain the black bars are consistent throughout, there's no harm in cropping those out, try to keep the resulting resolution a power of 16 though, for optimal efficiency

also, related to image size, if the sources are stretched anamorphic (for example, a 16:9 video on a dvd is still 720x576 (or 720x480 for ntsc), just with non-square pixels), it's better to flag the video as being 16:9, rather than 'correcting' it by stretching the image before encoding (say, by resizing it to 1024x576), the reason is that any player can stretch the image on it's own during playback, given the appropriate aspect ratio flag, and you're just creating more pixels to encode, lowering your efficiency, with no real benefit

>>61751629
It does both, but use MStoolkit instead.

>>61752728
>>61752541
(yes, you heard me right, most of your "1080p" bluray movies are actually only 800p, the remaining 280 lines are just black bars)

>>61752728
The 704:576 video is labelled as 176:135. And in HandBrake it says that the output will have display size of 751x576. Not sure what's going on here.

>>61752241
Read the arch wiki on openvpn

>>61752906
dvd's don't use strictly square pixels (that is, a PAR/pixel aspect ratio of 1:1), and support a DAR/display aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9 (by means of a flag in the file indicating as such)
the pixel aspect ratio doesn't really matter, provided a display aspect ratio is specified, that is, if it's specified that the picture be displayed as 4:3, no matter what the dimentions are, it will be displayed as 4:3, stretched to fit

the display size should be 768x576 for 4:3 video, it's been thrown off by cropping a small part of the video (a small enough part to not have been visible on CRT tv's anyway, due to overscan)

>>61753068
>the display size should be 768x576 for 4:3 video
to be pedantic, this is assuming a display with square pixels, basically any modern display uses square pixels
