No patients have entered the ward in the past couple days (how dull) so I'm left to wander aimlessly when not wearing out my mouse on MissionRed. I have a TV Tuner in my desktop rig so I am always recording and watching different shows. Mostly just movies (Watched Men of Honor last night on FX) and while I do have a dvd burner, I am rather poor being in college so the dvd's get expensive. After numerous trials and errors, I've managed to find a number of different tools that can convert between audio and video formats and shrink down these mamoth 3 gig videos often to under a gig.
The RAD Video Tools (http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm)
This is a great program for converting video into an .AVI file through the use of a bunch of different codecs including, but not limited to, DivX and XviD. It gives a lot of different options for rescaling and altering other aspects fo the video file in question. If you should so choose, you can also opt to only convert either the audio or the cideo seperately. (Meaning if you really just want the audio from that video you downloaded, you can rip it out with this program) One last note I find particularly interesting is that while Rad does not specify it is capable of doing this, I have discovered that should one open a .FLV video and convert only the audio, you can get the audio out of it. Useful for sites that enclose audio files in .flv format.
Auto Gordian Knot (http://www.autogk.me.uk)
Useful program for converting video files into compressed avi's with DivX and XviD codecs. Not as many options as The Rad Video Tools, but gives the nice option of a simple job queue, shutdown after completion, and a compression percentage option.
More to come...
