which_chickI think I'm just too fucking stupid to do this. *sigh*
I can make lovely, compressed .avi video files that really (本当に) play in WMP. They look great but they don't have subtitles (where did the subtitles go?). If I wanted to, I could certainly pair them up with some of that music the kids these days listen to. Limp something or other. I could make angsty videos about my highly-original pain which is, of course, unique to me and unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Ever. I mean it. *sob* NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME!!!
*ahem* Damn, I'm glad I am not a teenager anymore. Once was enough.
Moving onward. I can make lovely .mp3 or .wav files that play in audio clients, which is nice to know for a couple of weeks ago's project. Yes, I can get audio out of a dvd. That's pretty darned cool, and they sound great to boot. So, you know, I've filed that under useful things I have learned, and all ain't for naught.
However, I am apparently too stupid to get the sound to synch with the video for love or money. This is too much work for what I want to do and I think something *else* was the problem initially. This is too many steps and too many softwares for what I want to do. Someone has built a better tool than these or I am not understanding how to use the tools at my disposal..
Hrm. I did upgrade the available codices in my wanderings. It's possible that there are now more, better choices available to me with DVDx (which is the only thing I've seen so far that admits there ARE subtitles and offers me the option of capturing the damned things). Once more into the breach...
*sigh*
Have I mentioned I need a bigger hard drive? I do.
