I was wondering what you/anyone else uses for screen caps. I have the movie files in .m4a format purchased on iTunes. Thanks.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 03:10, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* I have the files in iTunes, but I don't really use them for capping. The quality is OK but it's too hard to get a particular frame. What I do instead is transfer the files off my Tivo, convert 'em to divx, and use [http://www.virtualdub.com/ VirtualDub], which is pretty amazing stuff. You can apply dozens of filters with live previews for anything from de-watermarking and resizing to gamma correction, and you can step through about a dozen ways (frame by frame, key frames, etc.), including the jog dial on the mouse. You can even create clips and export them as frames or animated gifs. I cannot recommend it enough, but it definitely works best with AVIs. It does work nicely with most of the files off the P2P networks, but I personally find their quality to be a total crapshoot.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:16, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Gotcha. I don't have Tivo, so I guess I'll just add something to the image request. Thanks though.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 03:24, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |
|||
***If you do want to get a cap out of iTunes, you can either use ALT+Print Screen and paste the image into an image editor, or use the "set poster frame" option from the right-click menu in iTunes and copy/paste that into an image program. (Sometimes ALT+Print Screen has trouble grabbing video if hardware acceleration is turned on, but the poster frame trick in iTunes should still work.)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 04:55, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |

****Everytime I try that, it never works. I just assumed it was a DRM issue. Same with WMP.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 05:00, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |

*****Actually, it's just hardware acceleration. If you turn off hardware acceleration in WMP, it works fine. See [http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/11/capture-still-images-from-windows.html this].--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 05:12, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |

* Bob, I'm assuming you're aware of the [http://www.heroes-pictures.com/index.php?cat=2 screencap site?] It's very handy for a few things. They have nice-quality caps of pretty much everything you'd need, and it's also a good way to visually review an episode without digging up the file on iTunes or at NBC.com. One of the nicest things about getting caps from there is that the images are usually 624x352 which makes cropping them down to [[help:standard size|450x350]] a cinch. Two drawbacks with the site: they don't have everything (especially specific things like the magnifying glass from ''OGL'' -- I checked and didn't see what you wanted), and you have to remove the watermark. If you have trouble with the watermark, that's fine, just upload it as is and slap [[template:reupload]] on there and somebody will take care of it for you. :) — [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 06:47, 4 April 2007 (EDT) |

Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of [[the Bennets' gun]] is? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT) |

Hey, do you have a good blank copy of the [[:Image:Locationmap.jpg|location map]]? I know there's a [http://heroeswiki.com/images/archive/4/48/20061204200840%21Locationmap.jpg blank one] there, but I saw that you recently made it [http://heroeswiki.com/images/archive/4/48/20070216161005%21Locationmap.jpg larger] and [http://heroeswiki.com/images/4/48/Locationmap.jpg sharper]. I'd like to kind of restart some of the arrows, now that we've added new places. Just a basic cleanup, you know? Do you have anything? ... or should I just start over with [[:Image:SureshMapSWF.jpg|this one]]? — [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 21:39, 6 April 2007 (EDT) |

**I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Taurus-605-left.jpg] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun.

** :) Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I liked the idea of using an ''Heroes''-related image, but it ''is'' quite ... distracting with the Post-its. Do you have another image in mind, or shall we just try to find a nice world map image? ...

*** I'm not an expert either, but the grip in [[:Image:Noah_grabs_his_gun.jpg|this image]] doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the [http://www.meprolightoutlet.com/item/9863_Taurus_Hand_Guns_Pistols__85__Ultra_Light_Re.aspx Taurus 85 Ultra Light], but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT) |

* I fixed [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]], but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more.

**Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link.

*** Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go.

* I don't really know. I don't pay much attention to it because as far as I'm concerned, it's not reconcilable (ever tried to figure out Niki's timeline for the first six episodes? It just doesn't fit with everybody else). I know it needs Span ID tags for the dates, but other than that I'm not sure.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 12:19, 14 April 2007 (EDT) |

**Really, I think it needs a huge overhaul of some sort. Maybe a table, I don't know. It looks pretty awful, though. [[lostpedia:Timeline:pre-crash|Lostpedia]]'s timeline is a bit cleaner-looking.
