[01:47] I'm a fucking retard [01:47] I'm back in win7 [01:47] so my OBS tests from win10 won't transfer of course [01:47] I couldn't be arsed to transfer them to the 10 install anyways but I digress [01:47] and I realized that I still have PTT on for mic input [01:48] * wp494 facepalms @ self [03:16] dashcloud: I think I've got a good setup [03:16] doing a second test run on 3h vhs tape now [03:17] the issue in the first one was that I had the device set to repeat only to stream (even though it's just a local record) and not repeat to desktop [03:17] therefore meaning that the audio would feedback [03:17] not in the traditional sense, but it'd...repeat [03:17] also the file size - I had it set at 5200 kbps, and I nudged it down to 3k [03:18] so just under a 50% reduction by my estimate of taking things and dividing them by 2 [03:18] the funny thing was that immediately before my 2nd test run, the vcr decided to fuck up the tracking [03:18] and I thought the vhs was effed [03:19] but I turned it off and turned it on again 10 minutes later, all is pretty much fine [03:19] the only way I knew it was tracking was because the auto tracking indicator was going crazy [03:20] I nuked the first test run off of the win10 HD, but if it was the tape, I could just let the hound that is known as recuva loose on the drive [03:21] and then just re-record only for not screwed up audio [03:21] so nothing too terribly serious either way [03:21] anyways I'll shut up [03:24] no keep talking. this entire channel is amazing [03:25] i wish i knew about it from birth [03:25] keep talking? OKAY [03:25] wordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswords [03:25] are you archiving vhs tapes? what vhs tapes? [03:25] tell me all your thoughts [03:25] *sits down* [03:25] just random tapes that I have laying around [03:26] the first one is just some tv recordings [03:26] circa 2007 iirc [03:26] oh like a personal project and nothing to do with this channel / team thing? [03:26] half yes, half no [03:26] half yes because at the end of the day IA are the pros [03:26] half no because I intend on making a guide on the wiki with OBS and the device I'm using [03:27] said device is http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100096 [03:27] i try to volunteer for ia but they do not even reply. the second i saw the warrior appliance earlier today i started one [03:27] what is obs? [03:27] and I decided to use the premier 30 day trial so it would null shipping [03:27] OBS = open broadcaster software [03:27] basically like a free xsplit, if you've ever heard of xsplit [03:28] http://obsproject.com [03:28] cool [03:28] OBS does external devices, but that's nothing special [03:29] from all the vhs things that I browsed [03:29] they came with powerdirector or some variant of it [03:29] and I said [03:29] "LOL NOPE, OBS" [03:29] because 1: OBS allows for so much flexibility and [03:29] 2: I don't have an optical drive in my PC [03:30] also 3: I don't need an optical drive in my PC since I can grab drivers off the internet [03:31] can you see the output of this avermedia device in realtime on your monitor or do you just hit play on the vcr and then it starts writing to a file? [03:31] OBS lets you see in real-time [03:31] so yes [03:31] fuck [03:32] I can't speak for powerdirector though since optical drives are swedish to my desktop [03:32] as in, the language [03:32] also OBS lets you preview how things look before you start recording [03:32] (or streaming) [03:32] (or both) [03:34] here's how it looks: http://i.imgur.com/hxl3oZb.png [03:34] yes, as you can guess, it's some various PBS stuff [03:34] is that a family video? your grandfather looks sick [03:34] oh ok pbs [03:35] lol [03:35] there are 8mm tapes which I'll get to in a while afterwards [03:36] what show is that? They look familiar. [03:36] eastenders [03:36] apparently pbs likes airing episodes from several years back like they're new [03:37] either that or it's just prairie public that does that (the station in ND/nw MN and MB through cable) [03:37] PBS does that all the time. [03:37] okay, so it's not just PPTV specific [03:37] finally, some confirmation [03:38] why they don't just have several marathons of shows is beyond me [03:38] they could probably catch up within a couple of them [03:39] then again there might be FCC clearance that they have to deal with, so it'd probably only get them to a year or so behind [03:39] the affiliate here just started showing Keeping Up Appearances, so every episode is marked as new in the tv listings. [03:39] I dunno, I'm just some canuck who knows quite a bit about recent canuck TV but only a small bit about american tv [03:40] oh its a bbc show that finaled in 1995 [03:41] but brand new here. [03:41] Anyway, I am also looking forward to a guide so I can do the same for family tapes. [03:42] well wisely whatever the dcx3400-m is using as guide info ISN'T marking EE episodes as new [03:42] I dunno if it's because PBS already showed them or what [03:42] but the episodes were dated 2005 [03:42] AKA just under a decade old episodes [03:43] and I just realized that the dcx3400-m also has RCA jacks [03:43] so I could just take it out [03:43] consider it an "off" day for tv [03:43] and just rip stuff [03:43] though in an inefficient manner, but the only manner that really *works* [03:44] because the HDD is esata [03:45] and chances are is that neither windows, nor os x would be able to even see the file system on it [03:45] linux *might* with the right drivers, but it'd be a PITA [03:46] or I could just buy a tv tuner and record right on the pc I'm typing this on right now [03:46] but I'd need to shove it either on my backup drive or the drive that I've got win10 on [03:48] one other thing is that I'm only slightly upscaling to 720p [03:48] 1080p would just be outright retarded for vhs [03:49] but I can scrunch down to 480 if absolutely necessary [03:50] 720p seems a bit much to as VHS is 480i I believe [03:50] but I'd be interested to here the rational behind your decision. [03:51] hear [03:51] I'll cite this image again: http://i.imgur.com/hxl3oZb.png [03:52] there's black bars on the sides, which is p. much unavoidable without significant alteration in obs [03:52] so 12somethingx720 becomes 10somethingx720 if I've visualized things right [03:53] but as for 720p, there isn't really much of a rationale [03:53] other than "let's try and squeeze what we can, but not to the point of complete pointlessness" [03:55] oh wow, apparently there were things as HD vhs tapes [03:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS#W-VHS_.2F_Digital-VHS_.28high-definition.29 [03:56] TIL [04:05] wow half a kilometer could store 50GB [04:07] the things you learn when you go on wikipedia binges [04:08] I've lost too much free time there and on TVtropes [04:12] goddamn, tvtropes is the worst [04:12] :P [04:15] Paris has a new tree sculpture: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29658502 [04:15] if only textfiles had a "random textfile" button [04:16] could probably waste as much time there as tvtropes [04:19] oh look, there's some washington week on this tape [04:19] something IA could use if it weren't VHS quality [04:20] oop and then it cut [04:20] probably more eastenders [04:20] there's at least one full WW episode I think [04:20] "HEY YOU GUUUUUYYYYYS" [04:20] I wish that were 70s electric company [04:21] wp494: well, IA *did* take in a rather large quantity of VHS tapes a while ago... [04:21] :P [04:21] that is true [04:21] BlueMaxim: shouldn't be too hard to make... >.> [04:21] but it was from around the 60s/70s [04:21] where VHS/betamax was pretty much the best quality you could get [04:22] because it was 2007 episodes, they'd probably be like "yeah we'd probably take a DVD quality recording of this episode instead" since better qualities are available [04:22] can't hurt to upload it [04:23] if a better quality one exists, it's superseded [04:23] if it doesn't, you at least have a VHS copy [04:23] true, something is better than nothing [04:23] in the case of archiving, yes :P [04:49] YESYESYESYESYESYESYES ITS ALL FIXED [04:49] hopefully [04:50] really truly probably fixed [04:51] What channel was it for twitpic? [04:51] #quitpic [04:51] quitpic [04:55] tyty [05:13] wait GLaDOS what broke? [05:13] IRC tunnel [05:13] then postgres [05:13] by IRC tunnel, I mean IPv6 [05:30] oh hell, I might have to deal with the hell that is audio desyncing [05:42] audio desync <3 [06:50] is there a qwiki channel? [06:51] #quickie [08:01] wtf http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/about-bis/newsroom/press-releases/107-about-bis/newsroom/press-releases/press-release-2014/763-intel-subsidiary-agrees-to-750-000-penalty-for-unauthorized-encryption-exports [08:14] that is really weird. I wonder if some ex-employee threatened to tell BIS himself? [08:14] or perhaps they were about to go through another audit that would suck up their records [08:16] I guess the simplest explanation is that Intel hired an honest auditor and being a public company they decided to do the less-risky thing [10:45] http://archive.org/catalog.php?history=9999&search_submitter=owenhall32@i8hosting.com weird exes [11:04] Is there some way you can get wget to use caching? It would be nice not to send off requests for some files again. [11:05] -nc? [11:06] I suppose that would be okay if I could -nc only certain files. [11:07] The ideal would be to check Cache-Control headers, save the expiration dates in some file somwhere, and check URLs against the expiration dates that were saved. [11:09] -N is *okay* because it checks timestamps, but it still sends out HTTP requests which don't need to happen. [12:05] so i'm past 17k in my godaneinbox [12:18] i'm also close to getting the first 10 days of 2008 funny or die videos all uploaded [14:57] how do you do a link in the wiki? [15:08] [archiveteam.org like this?] [15:09] for an external link [15:10] [[Deathwatch|for an internal link]] [15:14] I'll just do my best and someone else can touch it up who speaks wiki. [15:17] man I hate wiki syntax [15:17] stupid inconsistency [15:19] aaaaaaaaa: just shout the page once you're done, I'll take a look if i get a chance. [15:24] thanks it is here: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=TwitPic#Export_Tool_Bugs [16:40] thanks again for fixing the link [17:16] aaaaaaaaa: best way is to find a page with a link, edit it, copy the formatting, cancel the changes, and then go to the page you want to edit
