I like days off - they're relaxing. I got up late morning, and debated with the lunch mailing list about where lunch was today - ended up being Subway. After lunch I wandered around, and spent a few hours hanging out between the PC Setup room, the Happy Lab, and the Help Desk. Then went home and spent more time pretty much doing nothing. I discovered when I made the iso for
Dogma I dropped the mpeg2 files on there instead of the dvd fs structure. Of course it didn't complain about missing the TOC file either, I just noticed that the DVD didn't work right. Got that straightened out now, and watched that. It's sorta funny to see the edits in some places - like Jay and Silent Bob wanted desperatly to jump Bethany - right... I also discovered last night's recording was 7.2GB - files that big can be a slight bit of a pain when you have to remultiplex and split them out. There's too many crap music videos anyways, but I have a disc decently full of them now (or will in the morning)... I also discovered that my install of transcode now properly recognises xvid input files, so I can convert xvid format into DVD now too... I'm playing with that, but the mpeg encoder is going really slow - not sure what's causing that yet. Hopefully I got the flags right though and I'll have the right bitrate output and a usable mpeg2 file which I can just set the chapter breaks and burn. It looks like it'll be running for a few days - I like how I can just set the priority and let it go in the background without worrying about it at all. And I guess I'm bored and now writing about pointless stuff... Much Ado About Mousing...or Nutting...or who knows...
