Dave on A comrade recommended streamyard; it opens a whole new world to me. This is unfinished and about streamyard only, I need to understand the role it plays and what are the alternatives. Here are my notes … Read More
Dave on Bother. Never as easy as you’d hope. Read More
Dave on Dave on While winding myself up to play NWN2, I started experimenting with image morphing software, to see if I could make a video of a Druid Shifter polymorphing into their werebear shape. Sadly I think I lost the pictures from the 1st attempt and so as I started the game I had another go. Anyway once created, there is the question of how to serve it on the web. This article documents the tools I used to create the video and the tools I used to host it on this page. Read More
Dave on I chose to embed a parliamentary video cast in one of my blog articles and this is the agreement required before it can be embedded. I can’t find a link, otherwise I’d do so. This was created in Dec 2013. Read More
Dave on For some reason, I wanted to capture a BBC iplayer stream onto my hard disk; it looks like I was planning to use my MAC, and so didn’t because I would have needed to upgrade the MAC OS version to 10.6 or better.

I found these two URLs
This is for MACs, it uses a separate project to interface with the BBC site and is basically a GUI. It saves to disk and presents it through iTunes.
I downloaded it using macports, and had a problem with the format conversions. This took me to rmtpdump.
I installed this using macports. I still haven’t made the –mode flag work which is why I installed the MAC optimised package.
Dave on I took a lot of Video on the DE HQ Reunion Barge trip on a Sony Handycam and want to create a single video show for the holiday. I have done this before using the Sony Cybershot and the Mac’s slide show software to create a video of images. To include the Sony Videos, I’ll need to convert the Sony format videos to .MP4 or something. Here are my notes. Read More
Dave on This was originally entitled “Our New XP Box”. I changed the title when I copied the snip across to WordPress in July 2013. I marked the snip as deprecated in June 2019, added a picture to remind me. Here are my notes; the tags give a pretty good idea of what I needed to write about. This was an XP system and I wrote about external devices, anti-virus, fax and video capture. Read More
