I tried downloading without the manager (I use Internet Download Manager) but it's pretty slow and it stops half way and it tells me that I have exceded the limit. I also tried Mega Manager but it gives me an error and also a Limit Exceded. This happens tp both megaupload and mediafire.
I tried to bypass the number of slots for megaupload but none of them works, the toolbar doesn't work now, User Agent script (?) doesn't work, nothing works!!

I wonder if it's just my connection? Because I can download normally when I'm not using megaupload, mediafire and sendspace.

^ Indeed sounds like a problem with your connection. What kind of connection do you have? ADSL? Cable?

It also may have something to do where you live.

Download and install 7-zip program. When it's installed, right-click the packet file (7z) and choose 7-Zip --> Extract Here.

I have recently downloaded a clip from youtube, so the video is in flv format. Is there a way to convert from flv to a high quality format (maybe avi or mpeg) so that I can burn it to a dvd? Is this even possible?

Thank you for any help smile

Adding a logo has been explained

(starting from 9.).

For how to do karaoke subbing.. This is for Aegisub.
- First time the file normally.

- After that open the audio of the video (if it's not already open). Audio can be imported from the video or loaded from separate file.

- Then click the button that says "Karaoke".

- Aegisub divides the time of each line according to the number of words. Now you need to start moving the timings and splitting the words to smaller parts. As an example, let's say you have "boku no yume" as a line. Aegisub will split the audio for "boku - no - yume". But usually in karaoke that would be "bo - ku - no - yu - me". So you use the split-button to split the line and audio window for moving the timings of those parts. You can always join the parts if you splitted in a wrong way. When you split the lines, Aegisub will add {\kx} tags where x is the time in milliseconds.

- When you are done with your karaoke timing, you need to add effects. This is where those k-tags are needed.

- Aegisub includes some effects. You can load one by using "Open automation manager" (the icon next to paper clip icon). From the window opened, click "Add". The .lua-files are in demos folder of Aegisub program folder. Choose one of the effects. You may wanna start with "advanced effect" just to familiarize yourself with karaoke effects.

- Choose the effect, open it and click "Apply now" (select the opened .lua-file if the button is not clickable). Aegisub will apply the effect to all karaoke timed lines.

- If you don't already have style for karaoke, you might wanna create it now (the pink "S" icon). That way managing font and colors is easier.

- You probably have seen all kinds of awesome effects like hearts moving or syllables jumping here and there. Those are done the karaoke subbers and people seldom share their scripts so you either need to use the simple effects Aegisub has or learn yourself how to edit and make effects.

- You may use Aegisub for some preview of how the karaoke is gonna be like, but I highly recommend to import the video + subs to e.g. VirtualDubMod and use it for previewing. Aegisub is not a media player and may not show all the effects well. Also playing a video and karaoke effects in Aegisub eats up a lot of RAM.

First thing is, you will never ever get LQ/MQ to HQ no matter what methods you use. Flv is not a format of high quality.

You can convert flv to avi/mpg though - the result may be bad or ok, really depends on a file. I haven't done that for a long time so I don't remember what program I used to it. But after quickly googling I found this:

I tried with SUPER but the end quality was really bad, the picture has those small squares appearing on it, is there any way I can make the quality picture better? I heard that there's a program that can make it a little better.

Thanks!

You could change settings in that program. Or simply google for another program.

You can try to make a video better with several video editing programs, but that's not an easy job, and I don't know any free program unless you count VirtualDubMod and its filters.

The background needs to be black in order it to become transparent. Also, the logo don't necessarily need to be black-and-white or grayscale, it can have colors but when making one remember that how black will turn out to be.

Worth checking:

I just DL episode one of Mukodono. I joined the files, then went to watch it, and the screen is completely blank throughout the whole episode. No picture what so ever. Do I need to download it and join it again?

Also, this might not be the right place to ask, but I'm not sure where else to ask. Not really a tech question. I was just wondering if you had any recommendations for good external hard drives. I need to buy one...my Arashi collection is not fitting on my computer anymore, and I've had to delete a lot of the stuff I already watched to make room for new shows. So I was just wondering if there are any brands better then others, or any I should stay away from. Thanks! (Sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to computer stuff)
