Google 了一下，把 APN 由 internet 改為 smartone-vodafone，終於可 3G 上網了。

1. convert DTS to AC3 using MKV Audio Converter
2. open SRT file with notepad++, convert it to UTF-8 format and save it
3. if dimension of video clip is not in 1920×1080 or 1280×720, use AviSynth AddBorder function to uncrop the video (see this)
4. use MKVToolnix 4.0.0 to merge SRT into the MKV file
5. use tsMuxeR GUI to convert MKV into AVCHD
6. burn the AVCHD files into DVD with UDF 2.50 filesystem (see this)

Enjoy!

Notes on Mar 12th, 2012:

• tsMuxeR can handle SRT subtitle now, so we can skip the MKVToolnix step.
• For Chinese subtitle with txMuxeR, I used Arial 46pt.
• It is important that the font name selected for tsMuxer subtitle cannot contain any Chinese character (or other double-byte characters I supposed).

I used MeGUI to run AviSynth script. My AviSynth script looked like this:

addBorder.avs:
-------------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("E:\some_video.mkv",fps=23.9759856527702,audio=false,convertfps=false)
addborders(0,92,0,92)

I tried extracting LPCM audio stream from the DVD in the past (see here), but the extracted audio turned out to become noise instead of music.

Recently I have bought an Audiophilleo2, I wanted to extract the audio stream so I can play it with Linux MPD. After doing some further research, I have finally extracted the audio stream successfully.

The process is basically same as that specified in the Readme.txt in lpcm24.zip.

1. Extract VOB and IFO files with DVD Decrypter
2. Use vStrip to demux LPCM stream
• At Input tab, add VOB file(s)
• At IFO tab, select IFO file
• At output tab, select output name and choose “Raw PCM stream”. The output name serves as a filename prefix
• Check “SubStreams” checkbox
• Select only the LPCM stream (usually 0xA0)
• Check only the “Demux” checkbox under “Output Options”
• Click “Run” button
3. Use lpcm24.exe to convert raw audio file into wav

e.g. lpcm24.exe -48 t2_V01C01.raw t2_V01C01.wav

After installing the new drive, I have also updated the EAC drive options. The steps can be found here. I had used a Clannad CD to performed the offset correction test. For other CDs that can work with EAC, please see this list.

The CD ripping speed seems to be about the same to my old HP drive. But comparing the BDR-S06XLB with my old earth-quaking spinning HP drive, the Pioneer drive is so smooth and so quiet!

Besides, if there is new kernel release, make sure Sophos has already supported it before apply it to your system.

To fix it, follow the instructions on the Logitech page and reset the controller to factory default setting. After the controller resumed, I had then installed the Android fonts for CJK language support.

weaken is only available with the XS version of Scalar::Util

After doing some searching, I fixed that by:

#perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan>force install Scalar::Util
cpan>quit

FYI, my server is running CentOS 5.

After replacing the display card with a new NVidia GT 440 card, I rebooted the system. However, no matter whether I started my Windows XP in normal mode or safe mode, the system simply got stuck at the Windows XP boot up screen – the progress bar animation keeps moving but it simply refused to proceed any further.

After a couple hours of tests, the problem was solved by disabling the “Memory Remap Feature” and “ASUS C.G.I. Function” from the BIOS.

If you are facing similar problem with a new NVidia display card, try fiddling the BIOS setting before give up.

Cheers.

1. Remove lm_sensors if you have tried to install it before.

2. Run the below as root.

# rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
# rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-2.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm
# yum --enablerepo=elrepo install lm_sensors
# yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-coretemp-PAE
# yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-it87-PAE

3. When installing kmod-coretemp-PAE, it also requested me to install kernel-PAE, so I reboot the system after installing the new kernel. Make sure you are running with the new kernel (try uname -a). If not, check grub.conf and see whether the new kernel is in effect. Then run the below.

# modprobe it87
# modprobe coretemp
# sensors-detect

4. Allow sensor-detect to overwrite the /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file.  Is should look like the below. If not, you may have to manually edit it.

# Generated by sensors-detect on Wed Jun  1 11:51:09 2011
MODULE_0=it87
MODULE_1=coretemp

5. If things go fine, you should get something similar to the below with sensors.

# sensors

6. Start lm_sensors on every boot automatically if necessary.

# chkconfig --level 2345 lm_sensors on
# chkconfig --list lm_sensors

After a few different attempts, I found that KMPlayer can play rmvb with sound with the below steps.

1. Open “options” –> “Preferences” (or press F2).
2. Click “Filter control”.
3. Change the text in “DirectShow” from:
   .AVI .MPG MMS:// MMST:// .RMVB .RM .RAM .MP3 .AAC .MOV .MP4
   to
   .AVI .MPG MMS:// MMST:// .RAM .MP3 .AAC .MOV .MP4

Cheers.
