How to setup 2-pass mode as a batch job in VirtualDub - Balaji Dutt

Balaji: What are you upto? ;-) - Ashwin Nanjappa

Ashwin - Hehe, nothing very evil I assure you. A movie download turned out to be just a dump of the DVD contents, i.e, a bunch of VOB files. While the Q7 can play lots of formats, it can't play raw DVD dumps - so I was using VirtualDub to convert the VOB files into a single AVI. Worked pretty well too :) - Balaji Dutt

In the end this didn't work very well :( - wound up with a AVI file that suffered from a lot of pixelation when played through the Q7. - Balaji Dutt

Balaji: Why are you messing about with such complicated tools when Handbrake does the job without a sweat? - Ashwin Nanjappa

Ah dammit. All my googling did not turn up any link to the fact that Handbrake does VOB conversion! Live & learn I guess.. - Balaji Dutt

Balaji: Had I known it was a DVD-V to AVI conversion you were doing, I would have suggested Handbrake much earlier :-) - Ashwin Nanjappa

@anantshiva why did they change the text? was it too long?

@webwright everyone is trained to listen for the musical instruments to pick up the intensity, indicating "some key event about to occur" :)

@antrix in the same way i'm ok w. my "contributions" being locked up in @foursquare. my reward is stats (our conv. yest.) & mebbe networking

@antrix as a principle, i see where you are coming from & agree. but as a user, i benefit from other "sharecroppers" work, so i'm ok with it

@antrix which would imply i'm unhappy with the limited scenarios available to me? here's my counter-example...

@antrix yes the place db is open to others. @foursquare launched an api recently. see here - http://groups.google.com/group...
