[21:27:25] <private_meta> borkd: yeah, thought about that too when I wrote it here [21:27:49] <PZt> so you start the game and the hd spins down? [21:28:12] <private_meta> Well, I keep playing some time [21:28:15] <PZt> LABcrab yep pretty sure [21:28:24] <private_meta> then at times I could not yet identify the disk seems to spin down [21:28:33] <borkd> PZt: he doesnt want to disable power saving spindown because he doesnt want all disks to spindown, i think [21:28:40] <private_meta> then, after the game needs data, apparently, the disk needs to spin up, in that time the game freezes [21:28:42] <PZt> so it is not at launch but during an extended amount of game play? [21:28:42] <LABcrab> PZt: Is there a good article that explains 352×480 versus 720×480? [21:28:56] <borkd> not spin down, i mean [21:29:13] <private_meta> yes, which I think means that the game does not need certain data during some time, probably the time it takes to spin down [21:29:27] <PZt> LABcrab i am not sure may need to hit up the forums [21:29:54] <PZt> oh i misunderstood i thought it was at launch [21:30:42] <PZt> there was an app to stop sleeping i saw dunno if it will interfer with the game just a sec [21:32:07] <private_meta> User326: speedfan shows voltage, but not wattage [21:33:45] <private_meta> One thing I just realized that might be the issue… [21:34:03] <private_meta> I have DC++ running, which is set to hash every 60 minutes, spinning up all hard disks [21:34:18] <borkd> i dont think you can avoid the freeze in game when a drive spins up again [21:34:56] <private_meta> I would need to test if the Auto Hashing feature runs at the same time the Game freezes [21:36:04] <Stryyker> Are you running process explorer or something in the background? [21:36:10] <private_meta> No [21:38:10] <Stryyker> Run it, it can log some resource use. [21:39:04] <LABcrab> PZt: What happens when you plan a 352×480 movie on a TV? Does it “stretch” it so it becomes 720×480? [21:39:34] <private_meta> Stryyker: hmm… yeah, at least might be able to log if dc++ hashes while the freeze occurs [21:39:44] <private_meta> firin up resource monitor [21:40:59] <menome> most lcd tvs have selectors fo0r 4:3 and 16:9, aso it depends on the tv settings [21:42:09] <LABcrab> menome: It’s just that 352×480 feels weird, especially for commercial VHS tapes, so i guess VHS was really messed up back then. [21:43:02] <Stryyker> It also depends on the media player. Some can optionally scale/stretch. [21:43:28] <private_meta> VHS has a resolution? o_O [21:43:30] <LABcrab> Stryyker: So i still get 480p, but not 720 horizontal pixels? [21:44:13] <Stryyker> 480, 720 etc. are not horizontal pixels. It is line count. Vertical pixels. [21:44:19] <menome> depends if you use 4:3 or 16:9 widescreen settings [21:44:30] <Emiru> is there any way to install windows from recovery cds but without all the *** extra softwares ? [21:44:37] <menome> if you use widescreen, it will distort/stretch the picture, and everything will look fat [21:44:40] <LABcrab> Stryyker: 720 as in 720 x 480 is what i meant. [21:44:53] <LABcrab> menome: Game Boy Advance. 
[21:45:10] <Stryyker> What resosulition is your output device set to? [21:45:32] <Stryyker> resolution [21:45:47] <menome> 720p is vertical lines, not horizontal [21:46:06] <Kevin`> LABcrab: vhs doesn’t have a fixed horizontal resolution. you can sample it at whatever you want.. hopefully something that matches the aspect ratio when used with square pixels [21:46:17] <LABcrab> Stryyker: VHS tapes -> computer -> HDTV. [21:46:31] <LABcrab> Kevin`: But of course it’s not HD. [21:46:50] <Kevin`> LABcrab: hd would mean more than 480 lines [21:47:12] <LABcrab> Kevin`: So all VHS tapes have 480 lines for vertical? [21:47:16] <Stryyker> If your display is set to a suitably high resulution then some media players have settings to scale/resize to your needs [21:47:18] <Kevin`> LABcrab: no reason you can’t do 640×580 or 7somethingx480 though [21:47:42] <Kevin`> LABcrab: pal might be different.. are there pal tapes? [21:47:44] <Stryyker> LABcrab: Different parts of the world have different “defaults” [21:47:47] <LABcrab> Kevin`: i see people post “352×480″ on many sites. [21:47:51] <LABcrab> NTSC tapes. [21:48:12] <Kevin`> LABcrab: that’s a really strange number, since it doesn’t match the aspect ratio [21:48:31] <Nautilus> they arent aquare, is all. [21:48:35] <Kevin`> I wonder if it matches some popular video capture card [21:48:35] <Nautilus> square* [21:48:37] <LABcrab> Kevin`: mmhmm. [21:48:52] <LABcrab> Dunno if it matches video capture card. [21:49:13] <Kevin`> well it doesn’t match MINE, fwiw [21:50:52] <LABcrab> One site says:HQ: 1hr / 720×480, SP: 2hr / 720×480, LP: 3hr / 352×480, EP: 4hr / 352×480, SLP: 6hr / 352×480. [21:51:29] <Necrosan> OK, here’s a tough one – regardless of the wireless adapter i put in my computer, windows always says “can’t connect to network” [21:51:50] <Kevin`> LABcrab: effective quality maybe, but it would be stupid to record it like that to a digital format (except using 720×480 for everything) [21:51:51] <Necrosan> I had an i7 x58 system, swapped over to x79 stuff and booted safe mode first, then regular boot [21:52:04] <Necrosan> Now I cannot connect to any wireless stuff at all, withANY adapter [21:52:11] <Necrosan> Everything else seems to be fine [21:52:41] <PZt> private_meta that app does not work on hds….so temp disable via bat would not work? [21:53:14] <LABcrab> Kevin`: So do you agree with the 720×480 resolution, or is it overkill? [21:53:32] <LABcrab> i can’t tell the difference with my eyes. [21:53:42] <PZt> LABcrab depends on the player and tv settiings [21:53:53] <menome> vhs is gonna look crappy no mastter ehat you do with it [21:54:02] <menome> get the film original [21:54:06] <Kevin`> LABcrab: I could tell the difference [21:54:15] <PZt> Emiru no [21:54:18] <LABcrab> Kevin`: Even with a VHS? [21:54:20] <menome> 8mm looks better than vhs [21:54:21] <LABcrab> menome: Why? [21:54:24] <Kevin`> Maarten: yes [21:54:29] <LABcrab> menome: It’s good enough [21:54:39] <Emiru> PZt: Aww 
Then I guess Ill use pcdecrapifier [21:54:45] <CppIsWeird> is there any app that will integrate with windows 7 delete function that when it cant delete a file/directory it tells me which application is responsible? [21:54:46] <menome> depends how big your screen is [21:56:01] <menome> betamax is better than vhs [21:56:07] <menome> then there is laserdisk [21:56:11] <private_meta> PZt: which app? [21:56:14] <menome> then film [21:57:26] <menome> better film has much better resolution than 1080p [21:57:43] <kalelovil> PZt: thank you, that seems to work [21:58:03] <PZt> private_meta the one i looked for that keeps things awake [21:58:16] <private_meta> PZt: ah ok [21:59:12] <LABcrab> They are tapes from Jump5. [21:59:25] <PZt> private_meta so disable spindown during game play is not possible…btw most wear and tear on drvies is at spin up and down [22:00:53] Connection to server lost
