![]() ![]() I believe the movie's original aspect ratio was 16:10, but not 100% sure. I started testing different video frame settings and finally got the aspect ratio to display correctly by unchecking "Keep aspect ratio." The playback window got resized to something closer to a 4:3, with a widescreen picture inside the 4:3 window and horizontal black bars on top and bottom. The picture was too wide, people's heads were too fat, plus there were additional horizontal bars on top and bottom. I tested the resulting MKV on a computer, and it did not look right. (Roxio’s encoders with “single pass average bitrate” may not have the best efficiency on this special movie, in contrast to quantizer scale encoding.) So it can be encoded within 4.7 GB, even 1.63 GB at fine quality.I have ripped what seems to be a non-anamorphic DVD to MKV without reencoding it for the purposes of playing it on a TV through Kodi. The limited motion in this CG movie should facilitate mostly low bitrates and keep the file size small, depending on the encoder. Setting it at the container level has priority and is easier/faster, but that setting might get lost for some file manipulation circumstances, as it is only meta data. MP4/MKV aspect ratio can be set at two levels: container (this file should be displayed at 16:9 regardless of pixel amount) or video stream (in this video stream every GOP has a defined a.r.). ffmpeg or MP4Box if you're comfortable with command line tools) if needed. You may stretch the video back to 16:9 without re-encoding, using a separate tool (e.g. Original screen shots on are 1128×480 px, so 2.35:1 seems like the correct value for the movie content. So even YouTube presents it now resized and a bit too wide. That is an aspect ratio of 1.82:1 (with movie content of 2.41:1 between the letterbox bars. Your screenshot shows a 1281×580 px movie, that is an aspect ratio of 2.21:1 including the letterbox bars, or 2.75:1 excluding the letterbox bars.Īs Brendon also noted, this video reports 854×470 px (including 2× 58 px letterbox bars) when I download it with youtube-dl. And I am the audio/video tech for the kids tv room. I also sit on the Radcon board of directors. The movie in question is a fan made Star Trek movie, the name is "Star Trek II Retibution". There is no charge to watch any of this movies. And also you don't worry about getting in trouble for helping me. The rest of the stack of movies that I burned plays just fine in the DVD player. ![]() This 1 movie is the one that I had to split in half to play in the DVD player. That setup is a portable DVD player connected to a 19" high def flat screen tv. The 2nd place is in the kids tv room, were the kids can be watched while the parents can roam around the convention freely knowing that the kids are safe. The Toshiba laptop I can play the source file directly off a USB thumb drive. Connected to a P15PX model L5EX-TA, a 15" VGA monitor with sound, I don't know who makes the monitor. The 1st viewing area at Radcon (a Science Fiction/Fantasy convention) I will be using a Toshiba Satellite M60 laptop OS XP Pro. After that you can use your usual method to squash each half-source file onto a Video DVD. If you need it on a set of DVDs for an old player or TV, it might pay you to split your source in Videowave again, and then "Export As" using the 'Same as Original' setting to maintain the aspect ratio of your source. it is NTSC, which is 29.971 frames/sec, and has stereo audio. If you leave the black bands the aspect ratio will be close to 16:9 and should play without too much stretch. So the actual picture field is 854 x 354. It has black bands top and bottom, which are 58 px high. the source is 854 pixels wide by 470 pixels high. If a TV set or a DVD player that will handle MP4s aren't available to you, you might have a long job ahead. If so, your source file would easily fit on a data DVD or into a pendrive without having to be split, un-squashed, or re-rendered by you. MP4, either from a data DVD in the player or from a USB pendrive in the TV set. If you're intending to store it and play back on your TV set or one close to you, it would be worth checking the intended player or TV set to see if they're new enough to play the movie straight from the. The quality of your source isn't that high to start with. Even if you split your source, you're going to be squeezing 1hr 38 or 39 minutes onto a single-layer DVD, and the playback quality will be far from optimal. I ask this because a single-layer 4.3GB DVD will only take an hour of video-DVD at a standard quality. What are you ultimately hoping to do with this movie? ![]()

![]() ![]() Maximizing the window doesn't fix this either – it just adds more entries in the window. One significant problem this poses is that the text for each entry is small, and the database just generally looks crowded. It looks like something designed for Windows 7, and is not reflective of more modern designs. The desktop app for Windows is fine, but a little dated. This advice is fast falling out a fashion – just as well, as it can mean passwords that are as hard to remember as they are to guess. Sticky Password, by comparison, still advises you to use a password of random characters with at least one upper and lowercase letter, numbers, and optional special characters. You can choose to separate these words by a hyphen or underscore, for added complexity. Currently, security experts advise using a random combination of easy-to-remember words to create one extra-long pass phrase. Sticky Password does not adhere to current best practices for password creation. Sticky Password has all the basics of a password manager, and some very good auto-login features, but it does have a few downsides. Sticking your password database into a public PC, for example, is an easy way to get hacked if the PC contains malware. Sticky Password also comes in a USB portable version. It’s a nice feature for the extra cautious and technologically adventurous. This allows you to sync your data between two different devices over a local network. Sticky Password also offers a “local Wi-Fi sync” option to premium customers. Instead, you can optionally move your database around to different devices manually, or via a service such as Dropbox. You can, for example, choose not to sync your password database via Sticky Password's cloud servers (the default for most people), even if you're a premium customer. Sticky Password gives you far more syncing options than most other password managers. It has 10 different templates for storing memos on your driver’s license information, bank accounts, passports, and so on. Sticky Password’s secure notes feature is called Secure Memo. Unfortunately, as there's no auto-change feature you'll have to change them one-by-one. Here, you can go through the key ones that need changing. There’s also a helpful security dashboard that analyzes your database for weak and reused passwords. This isn’t quite as simple as the auto-changing password features of Dashlane and LastPass, but it's no hardship, either. Sticky Password handles all of this for you, and will even click the Save button for you. Typically, when you do this, you have to enter your old password and then type in a new one. Login to a site and go to the change password page. Password Change ProcessĬhanging passwords is similarly easy. If you have multiple accounts for any one site, you can choose which account to log in with. Sticky Password automatically logs you into sites the minute you land on their login page. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rebase Any String of Commits to a Target Commit ![]() ![]() If topic is not checked out, you simply append topic to the command (except the last one) like so: git rebase -onto B master topicĪlternatively, check out the branch first with: git checkout topic I'm leaving this answer here in case someone comes here with a case like mine.The correct command to answer the posted question could be any of the following (assuming branch topic is already checked out): git rebase -onto B master The rebase completed with no issues, and no merge conflicts. To solve this issue, I added the -i option to be able to edit the todo list, and just dropped the commits that I did not want. When I tried to rebase (following the instructions in answer) the two commits I wanted from branch B, I ended up with the two commits, plus a bunch of new commits coming from merging stage into B, and this was giving me unwanted merge conflicts during the rebase. I made the mistake of merging stage into A, and B, because I thought that they sharing the tip o stage would help makes things easier. I wanted the last two commits of branch B to be placed in branch A.īoth branches, A and B, were now behind stage because stage had gotten other branches merged into it. Branch A had a single commit not in stage, and branch B had 3 commits not in stage. I had a similar situation, where 2 branches had branched off of the same stage branch at different points in history. Note that the d and c commits here are copies (they have new unique ids) that's inevitable when you move commits around, as commits themselves are immutable. After that, reset br up to where master is now, and then slide master back down to where it was before c: % git rebase -onto br e7547cb master The harder case is that the other branch already exists: let's say it's br in the first graph above. If not, then simply make the new branch here (where master is now) and slide master back down to before c: % git branch newbranch Does that other branch already exist or not? So I can think of two main scenarios here. So I regret that c and d were made on master I wish they had been on some other branch. Let's start with a two-branch situation: % git log -oneline -all -graph You can move a branch, attaching it to any commit you like, with git reset. Though I am interested to hear solutions for both scenarios (this one, and one where I had other valid commits). So obviously I'm a bit new to git and I'm sure this has got to be a duplicate question, but maybe I am just having trouble identifying which existing questions are the duplicates with confidence.Īlso I tagged vs 20 because I use both and welcome any answers that explain how to do this through the IDE in either of those versions in additions to how to accomplish this in a shell. It's very possible I've run across the exact answer I need, but didn't realize it because I wasn't 100% if the scenario was the same as mine. I've done some searching and the answers I've found primarily focus on the first case I mentioned where changes weren't committed. or I want to be able to restore them (as changes, but not as a commit, obviously). ![]() And when I checkout the branch I want, I want my changes to be there. I just want the commit to go away as if it never happened. in particular I don't want to have to push two commits (one with the changes, and one that reverts the changes). I want my local branch to be as though I never made any changes. How do I effectively accomplish the same thing if I've already committed locally (but not pushed to remote)? Normally if I make changes in a branch and realize I meant to do it in a different branch, then I can simply stash the changes and then checkout the branch I want. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the end, the lesson Merida learns is that her mother was “always there for me” and “never gave up on me.” But this is never shown in the First Act. From beginning to end, Merida is punished for that not-so-unreasonable desire as much as for her misguided (but guileless) actions. She never intended to turn her mother into a bear she only wanted her mother to change. Although both Merida and Eleanor undergo positive change arcs by the movie’s end (and although Eleanor definitely suffers more than Merida), the movie places the burden of blame on Merida from the very beginning. Third, I have major issues with how blithely the movie treats the mother’s actions in the First Act. She can’t have her Moment of Truth revelation yet, because the story hasn’t moved her that far along. Because the actual conflict began so late at the First Pinch Point, Merida’s character arc is drastically delayed. Second, we have no great Moment of Truth here. Other than an incidental tie-in to the “legend of the lost kingdom” and the evil bear Mordu that the father is obsessed with killing, the mother’s turning into a bear brings no added dimension or insight into the plot or the theme (more on the murky themes in a minute). On the positive side: this is a huge turning point in the plot.įirst of all, I have problems with the whole bear symbolism. Midpoint: Merida feeds the spell to her mother-and it turns her into a bear. Knowing where the movie and its conflict head from here, this would have been a much better First Plot Point-one that was aligned with what the story was actually about, rather than what the First Act sets it up to be about.Īs it stands, this all-important development not only comes very late and relatively out of the blue, it also relegates the charming witch character to a mere plot device. Here, at the First Pinch Point, Merida runs away, encounters a (very poorly foreshadowed) witch, and gets her to provide a spell to “change” her mother. Her relationship with her mother has been the important catalyst in that conflict, but as the Inciting Event and First Plot Point prove, that relationship has not been set up as the heart of this story Up to this point, this movie has been constructed as the story of a princess in a conflict over whether or not she will submit to a forced marriage. Merida lashes out and slices the tapestry Eleanor made, which depicts their family.įirst Pinch Point: And… forgive me Pixar lovers (of which, I am generally one), but this is where this movie starts to go really wrong. She infuriates her mother, who drags her to her room and insists she’s endangered the peace of the kingdom. After learning that the rules of the competition indicate that the firstborn of each clan may compete for the princess’s hand, Merida competes in the archery competition on her own behalf and wins. She has zero interest in being married or having her life planned out for her by her mother.įirst Plot Point: The clans arrive. Merida firmly rejects this Call to Adventure. Inciting Event: The Scottish princess Merida’s mother Eleanor announces that the clans are all bringing their oldest sons as suitors for Merida’s hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() In order to launch this game, please login to the EA Download Manager to verify your ownership, then try.

And BTW, the restore feature works - I tested it.ĬCleaner takes up a whole 77.2 MB on my disk. Oh, and for sure, considering the fact Windows own Registry Editor (regedit) makes changes in real-time, and doesn't even have a backup feature, or offer to backup (or export) BEFORE making changes, I would much rather users use CCleaner, which does offer to backup the registry before making changes. Regardless, whenever messing with the Registry, either by a 3rd party utility, or via Registry Editor, one should always run a backup first. There is no reason to believe they wouldn't remove the Registry cleaner too if it caused problems. So Speccy removed that function and no longer reports that. But with many motherboards, the reported values were way off, reporting 6.2V for the 12V value as an illustrating example. For example, Speccy, their HW information applet, used to report PSU voltages as found on the motherboard. ![]() After upgrading from W7 to W10, or W10 to W11, once sure everything works, I will run the cleaner.Īnd for the record, Piriform also has a history of removing features that don't work correctly. So, for example, if I replace a NVIDIA graphics card with an AMD (or the other way around), I will run the cleaner after the installation to clean out all the crud left behind by the removed card. One caveat/qualification - I never use the registry cleaner to "fix" a broken computer - only to maintain it. And I never, not once had it brick a computer. While anecdotal, I personally have used CCleaner's Registry cleaner on 100s of different computers, likely more than a 1000s times. ![]() But still, many simply lump all Registry cleaners in one evil heap and that does CCleaners an injustice. In fact, if anything, some would suggest it is not aggressive enough. Yes, decades ago, some registry cleaner were reckless and way too aggressive. It is unreasonable to assume such a popular and useful tool that's been around that long would still be on the market (or, as an included feature) if that harmful as some suggest. CCleaner has been around for close to 20 years. Having the ability to keep specific cookies during cleanup is invaluable to me.Īnd for the record, the claim that CCleaner's Registry cleaner can be harmful is misleading and totally exaggerated too. If you believe CCleaner is unsafe, then you should use no 3rd party cleaning tool and just stick with Windows own Disk Cleanup. Rather, it was caused by the new owners of Piriform (Avast) sticking their noses in the mix without doing their homework first. And it should be pointed out the issue that caused the most attention wasn't even caused by the developers of CCleaner (Piriform). And the problems were quickly addressed long ago. First and foremost, the few issues were minor, actually affected only a tiny number of the 10s of millions of users. ![]() ![]() Judge says a lazy girl job looks slightly different to everyone, because each worker has their own unique circumstances and needs. There’s a way to have a positive experience with work, she says – something she says Gen Z are increasingly taking up the mantle on, after millennials began the conversation. ![]() She argues burnout and sickness shouldn’t have to be part of the equation in the working world, when autonomy and flexibility have become possible with remote working, and mental health is a larger priority than ever. The main idea behind her term, she says, is reframing what a job can – and should – be for workers. She explains racking up 50-to-60 hour weeks as a consultant – a schedule not “normal or sustainable”, and one that ultimately eroded both her mental and physical health. Instead, the term reflects a new mindset that’s taken hold in the era of the Great Resignation – one in which workers are increasingly demanding sustainable salaries and flexible conditions, while challenging the notion that hours clocked equates work accomplished.Ĭolorado, US-based Judge says the idea dawned her after her own experiences with overwork.

Her greatest dislike of all time is admitting defeat, because of this, the Powerpuff Girls were able to achieve victory against the Rowdyruff Boys in "The Boys are Back in Town". It is also revealed in the film that Buttercup inspired the other girls to use their powers to fight crime and the forces of evil after she knocks down Rocko Socko who caused her to lose her temper with one punch ironically, she initially apologized profusely for her actions, thinking she would get in trouble with everyone. Once she heard this, Buttercup immediately crossed her arms and pouted, "Hmph!" this may explain her tough nature. She is also shown to bully on her fellow classmate (Elmer Sglue, who becomes a mutant paste eater, which make both Blossom and Bubbles force her to apologize to him).ĭuring the birth of the girls in The Powerpuff Girls Movie, she was initially shown to look extremely happy with wide eyes and an open mouthed smile up to the point where, last of the three girls, Professor Utonium said he would name her Buttercup because, like both of her sisters' names, it also begins with a B. She possesses a violent and mean streak not displayed by her sisters. In the episode "Nuthin Special," her special "ability" is revealed to be the ability to curl her tongue (Blossom and Bubbles cannot do this, nor can anyone else in Townsville). In "The Rowdyruff Boys," she has a tremendous disdain for resorting to kissing the boys in order to eliminate them, though willingly kisses a boy ridden with what she feared to be "cooties" in the episode "Cootie Gras". For example, in the episode "Cover Up," she had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that she would hug that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter, and she is quite protective over her sisters. She has shown these sides, and a softer side in several episodes. She also showed a greedy side in "Moral Decay," to which she knocked out teeth for the sole purpose of obtaining money. Sometimes this, and her aggression get the better of her simultaneously, making her a little reckless and stubborn (but she overcame it in "Makes Zen To Me").
