why don't women just become smart?

How secure is the tech used by banks?

I asked a few days ago about how to make black frame insertion work on mpv with vapoursynth but it keeps closing on start.

I also tried this on cmd.exe:

mpv.com --vf=vapoursynth="~~/BlackFrameInsertion.vpy" C:\Users\user\Downloads\c3ntjh.mp4 -v

and this is the last line it gives before closing:
[vapoursynth] using 6 concurrent requests.

I'm not sure if that helps, but I just want to know what exactly makes it close. Did I installed vapoursynth incorrectly? is the .vpy file somewhere it shouldn't be?

Why are my converted videos garbled on seek, but play fine if I don't seek?

I'm converting to HEVC using the default settings in Xmedia Recode (which is just a ffmpeg GUI).

MPV sucks now?
No, it plays all videos converted by competent people just fine.

So when pirates say their cracks "get picked up as false positives by AV software" are they being genuine? It's on a respected private tracker and the torrent itself is popular and commented on positively.

ok I tested the .vpy with vspipe, I typed this on cmd.exe: vspipe --info "C:\Users\Gerardos\AppData\Roaming\mpv\BlackFrameInsertion.vpy" -

and it gave this error:
Script evaluation failed:
Python exception: name 'video_in' is not defined

should I replace 'video_in' with something else?

Doesn't stop all processes. Only one instance.

where do you fe/g/gots get LTSC for a different language as english?
As i dont want to get cancer on my pc.

video_in is defined by mpv's vapoursynth support
you'll need to use a different input method if using vspipe
from one of mine;
clip = core.ffms2.Source(source=inputFile)
#clip = video_in
(replace "inputFile" with a path to a video file if it's just for testing)

What happens if you use ffmpeg directly?

ok I changed that line with: clip = core.ffms2.Source(source="C:/Users/user/Downloads/c3ntjh.mp4")

it gives:
Script evaluation failed:
Python exception: No attribute with the name ffms2 exists. Did you mistype a plugin namespace?

do you have something different for
core = vs.get_core()
?
do you have ffms2 installed?
can you post your vapoursynth script?

I think I don't? I typed "ffms2" on Everything and nothing came up.

apologies for being this much retarded, I'm really trying.

not a question, but i feel like i should mention it
idk when or how it got turned on, but i just found out a moment ago why my Jow Forums X has been running so slow, for weeks it's been slower than other sites, and just yesterday it's gotten so bad that i noticed that it chokes when i scroll to an unread post
just now i found out the thread watcher was enabled, i've never touched it before, and it had probably hundreds of entries in it (took a few couple minutes to close them all), and once it was cleared out, things were back to normal
just thought i'd mention it in case someone else has the same issue

What's a trustworthy Jow Forums-approved VPN for Windows?

How can I disable device verification for GitHub?

It works fine, actually, thanks.
But I'd still like to know what's going on.

Here are some Xmedia Recode defaults (except the bitrate).

If I increase the keyframe interval it's a bit better, but then the file size gets bigger too (bigger than with ffmpeg). I don't think that's what's happening with the standard ffmpeg encode.

Attached: xr.png (759x918, 29K)

works for me once i change line 6 to;
clip = core.std.Interleave(clips = [blank, clip])
assuming 24fps is shit though, it'll desync with anything else
most '24fps' media is 24/1.001 even, so it'd make more sense to use
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(video_in, fpsnum=24, fpsden=1.001)
instead as a default

wait, seems i can't use floats there
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(video_in, fpsnum=24000, fpsden=1001)

How much did you increase it? Try 250. That's x265's default.

GiB and GB are different

250 gets me the same result as 0 (Auto), so that's not it.

I know, turns out it was W10 being retarded and showing incorrect folder size.

It's possible for it to go either way. AVs tend to not care about telling the difference. You really couldn't even know it was clear if it passed all the AVs. Only way to reliably not get infected is to not pirate games/software.

I want to upgrade my network setup from my shitty 20 dollar asus to something capable. My budget is 100-120 dollars for both router and AP(currently i don't need seperate switch). I've 50 mbps innternnet connection, i would like to have openvpn to home network(probably should run it on my home server, not on router itself), snort(or some other ids, will probably run it on home server too), squid cache with transparentproxy(on home server too), adblock on network, dns cache, second backup 3g network and maybe some other shif. Should i get mikrotik, ubiquity or some openwrt stuff? Which is more based? Recommend me some specific models for that price.

Next step made me figure out its an inequality between line and font height in Konsole
Anyone?

How do you know your VPN isn't spying on you?

So I guess YouTube just updated or some shit. Now it pauses a few 10 minutes asking if i'm afk while listening to my playlist and noodle around on Dota 2. Does anyone know a work around, I couldn't seem to find an extension on Google Chrome, maybe there is something I can edit in the inspect elements?

Is a games framerate locked to a monitors Hz? Say I have a 60hz monitor but can get 120fps, I'll get screen tearing unless I lock the framerate at 60hz? Would the same be true for 30hz?

I'm planning on buying a 2TB drive to work as a mirror for my current 2TB, will I need to format before I do this, or can I just copy the data over?

You trust them or you don't. My ISP hasn't given me any browser cease and desists since I started using my VPN for torrents, but I can't provide any other "proof" than that.

Nexcloud, or you could just use FTP. Either way you need to buy a domain name, and either a connection with the ports unblocked or a VPS service. For hardware you could use whatever you want more or less but ideally you want redundant encrypted storage and ECC RAM.

Real cloud storage or just sharing files among them?
If it's the latter just share them using FTP or SMB connection.

>Is a games framerate locked to a monitors Hz?
Sadly no.

>I'll get screen tearing unless I lock the framerate at 60hz?
Basically. It's less noticeable on higher refresh rate monitors. If you're pulling out super high frames on your GPU, you'd likely not notice tearing either, although you're wasting a lot of power rendering frames you aren't using.

There are a few ways of locking the framerate. Most common is vsync, with a bit of delay added. Free/Gsync is better. There's also programs that try to manually force, it which are somewhere in between. Make sure you actually care about the tearing before you go fucking with shit.

Is it worth using an SSD for the OS?

Was thinking of getting a 1TB one for games, but I don't know if I should use it for games and the OS.

I might grab a 250GB SSD for the OS, and a 1TB for games, plus 2x1TB for various files plus a mirror.

it makes a huge difference for the OS
with games it varies, some take advantage of it some don't

Not necessarily. Screen tearing could technically occur with 60fps on a 60Hz monitor, it's just the monitor refreshing in the middle of getting a new frame. You could have no tearing if you're playing at 120fps on 60Hz as well, if it all lines up perfectly.
I'd always just leave the framerate unlocked in the options (if possible), and if you get tearing that annoys you you slap vsync on it.
OS is more significant than games I think, I'd prioritize getting one for the OS over one for games.

>Is it worth using an SSD for the OS?
Absolutely.

>Was thinking of getting a 1TB one for games, but I don't know if I should use it for games and the OS

OS >>>>>>> Games. There's moderate benefit to games, mostly in the loading screen, but OS is where it counts.

>I might grab a 250GB SSD for the OS, and a 1TB for games, plus 2x1TB for various files plus a mirror.
Just get one big one, it'll be better for your money. Also there's no point in mirroring the SSD. Just get a networked hard drive somewhere in your house for the backup.

>Is it worth using an SSD for the OS?

It's the main reason to get an SSD.

Thanks for the replies, I'm asking because I'm using a 50hz TV as a monitor and I'm wondering if I'm missing out on anything a 60hz TV would offer.

Currently running W7, W10 and Ubuntu on my desktop.

Can I expect to not fuck up grub if I simply delete W7 partition and realocate the space?

You're always missing out if you're using a lower refresh rate monitor/tv. The question is if it's significant enough for you to care. Personally I wouldn't bother upgrading to 60Hz from 50Hz, that's not that big a difference.

Pressing the top right of the "H" key on my T480s doesn't always actually activate the key: it feels like part of the plastic is just bending instead. Is there an easy way to fix this? I think it stated fairly recently, but I'm not sure.

What am I missing out on? How does it affect me in day to day gaming

Hm. I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the keyframe interval. VLC is notorious to produce such corrupted playback for very long keyframe intervals, but I've never seen mpv struggle with it.
What happens if you play it with another robust media player like MPC-HC? Does the problem occur for all your encodes or only a single video? Oh, and since I just realized that you're encoding 12-bit HEVC, could it be that you're using hardware decoding with mpv and that your hardware doesn't support 12-bit HEVC?

Things will appear smoother, and you'll be able to see things faster. Not everybody cares that much about those things though, a lot of console games still play at 30fps and people are fine with it.

You mean in the Scanner class?
It's delimiter based, so if your delimiter is a newline and there's nothing else, then yes, you get an empty string.

I guess technically you could have a drone with a router and cellular modem built into it fly up to the computer and insert an ethernet cable into it. Provided the ethernet cable is in a location that will allow the drone to do that. And you've got another drone laden with explosives to blow a hole in the wall.
But yes, I suppose it is physically possible. It's just going to be very very obvious something is wrong.

Is there any way to fix Dropbox udpating slow as shit?

I looked at the info for the ffmpeg mp4 vs the Xmedia Recode mp4. The ffmpeg has 'colormatrix' bt.601, the Xmedia Recode has bt.709.

So I changed in Xmedia Recode the "matrix coefficients" from bt.701 to 'unspecified' and now it's fine.
Don't know why XR would default to that, though.

That is very weird. A wrong colormatrix should produce slightly off colors, not corrupt playback. But at least you found the solution.
>Don't know why XR would default to that, though.
BT.601 is usually used for SD content (and VP8 in general, as it doesn't support BT.709), BT.709 for HD footage.

Why do DJs use macbooks?

>Why do DJs use macbooks?
You should ask the DJs. Maybe they prefer the audio driver (CoreAudio) or maybe they have some other reason.
I don't use a Mac, but I can easily see why one would prefer macOS over Windows.

Back in the day macs were the only platform that supported a lot of media production software. There's shit that will only run on macs, and the reverse isn't true, although the gap has narrowed a lot in recent years. Rep is still there, and it's hard to argue with the Just Werks angle. Plus DJ is a field where image often matters, so looking like you can afford the premium shit is its own thing.

Thinkpad T420.

Whatever that was, it's probably a sign that there's something wrong with the motherboard as a whole if it was possible for that to happen.

I asked people who were DJs, but yours and makes the most sense.
