    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    i also have not been able to rip consistently with meguIV. if i rip 3 vids over 3 nights then the successs rate is more likely to be higher than if i make 1 rip a week. usually the problem is given as mencoder (stopped working). this can be at the start, middle or end of processing. ive never...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    although not equally comparable, my i7 860 (auto OC to 3.00Ghz under load) rips 60 mins of vid at around 10-12fps, usually taking 3-4 hours to complete a rip (.vob to final output). the single pass encode at the end usually runs at about 50-55fps. those numbers are using the default settings...

    Movie Codecs and Help..

    as a general rule, codec 'packs' (CCCP/klite etc) are designed to be installed and used either or. codecs sometimes dont play nice so i suggest that when you have playback issues, uninstall your codecs and dl the latest version of your preferred pack and reinstall it. if it doesnt work then...

    I Hate Japan

    my place is a Living/Dining Kitchen and 2 room (2LDK in japan) and i pay just over 500US a month for rent, water and 2 parking spaces. i think i paid 2 months bond, 1 month in advance and 1 month as a 'fee' to the realtor. add in a key change and some cleaning and i think the initial month was...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    i feel this is going to become a habit but, is it really that much hassle to just read the posts in a given thread? i realize everyone has different levels of understanding regarding computers and im noone to be giving lectures but the fact that it is an .exe file is a pretty big hint i think...

    sorry Rollyco, i thought i had gotten back to you about that build. that error persisted and so i ended up reinstalling windows (i had a boot image). the install was a little funky anyway and after reinstalling i decided to make that installation for ripping and video etc so no antivirus. i then...

    First time here Can someone help me?

    i use vlc because it mounts ISO images as they are, without doing anything (just drag and drop). to cover my codec needs i use the k-lite codec pack. basic or standard should be sufficient for most users (but i dont install Windows Media Player Classic interface with it). for general usage i use...

    Your favorite Firefox extensions/tips/hacks?

    i think auto-pager (or a function similar to that) is included in the fastestfox extension. i think it sets the common speedup hacks as well so you dont have to do them manually.

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Rollyco, i noticed you edited the titles of all meguIV encoded vids (JI section) to include the word 'meguIV' in green. was this simply to raise awareness of the program and increase usage? i have nothing against it, i just wondered. and if so is it preferable that people include this in the...

    Your favorite Firefox extensions/tips/hacks?

    when i first install firefox (esp on a 'settled' OS) it tends to be more temperemental in my experience. it does seeem to settle down though, i cant remember the last time it crashed although i get the occasional 'not responding' message and the white. its a lot better on 7, or more accurately 7...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    hyperthreading is on by default i think. i tried ripping while overclocking but my skills are not sufficient to get the stability needed to maintain at 100% load over the duration of the rip. it would always fail near the end of processing. the automatic OC runs at just over 3.10Ghz but even...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    i have the 860 and i can encode 1 hour of MeguIV (on default 'one-click' settings) in about 4-5 hours under Win 7 64 (no overclock). takes a bit longer under x86. also i often rip at night and i dont time the rips but the 'estimated time to completion' (processed fps increase slowly over the...

    i had a couple of rips fail on me about a third of the way through the process recently for no apparent reason (i leave MeguIV on over night for obvious reasons) and decided to undo the only change i could think of which was, I had moved my torrenting disk from an internal hard disk to an...

    What OS are you using?

    to be more exact the japanese/english part was inconsequential. i got x86 (OEM) when i got my computer here in japan and set up everything with that originally. after that i got ultimate x64 and put it on as a dual boot to test/make sure it would run correctly etc. also i have a couple of...

    What OS are you using?

    Win 7 Ultimate x64 (en) dual boot with 7 Home Premium x86 (jp). i think i agree with the masses that those happy on xp should stay there, at least until support stops. i planned to move daily computing to linux when i upgraded my computer but ubuntu wouldnt run my hardware to my satisfaction. if...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    i was under the impression, with my rudimentary knowledge of computers, that the main benefit of x64 architecture was its ability to utilise larger amounts of memory by much higher relative margin compared to x86. therefore the real benefits of x64 are only seen when available memory exceeds...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    No, its Win 7 x86. Im thinking about moving to x64 but I only have 4GB of memory, as I had trouble sourcing 4GB mem sticks locally, so I'm dubious as to the overall benefit. Thanks for this excellent tool.
