  1. Didn't you read the definition of Carom billiards? That table has no pockets.
  2. It's a control mechanism. She uses it, well, to control and win. JMO.
  3. "In July, Pfizer got a $1.95 billion deal with the government’s Operation Warp Speed, the multiagency effort to rush a vaccine to market, to deliver 100 million doses of the vaccine. The arrangement is an advance-purchase agreement, meaning that the company won’t get paid until they deliver the vaccines. Pfizer did not accept federal funding to help develop or manufacture the vaccine, unlike front-runners Moderna and AstraZeneca." So, Pfizer has yet to receive a penny from the US. Here's the article, though it's rather short. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/health/was-the-pfizer-vaccine-part-of-the-governments-operation-warp-speed.html
  4. I'm afraid I'm not a Mac user and know nothing of the OS or software. I know very little about QuickTime, as I've only used it a few times years ago to play mov videos. I didn't even know it could record until Leora-Fan mentioned it a few days ago. I had read some weeks ago, that it had been deprecated and discontinued and just posted what I found on Google. I hope it was helpful.
  5. I'm a fan of the Scottish dialect. It's just so cool, especially to hear it and not just written down. Plus, it's a lot of fun just trying to figure out what they're talking about.
  6. Apple ceased support for the Windows version of QuickTime in 2016, and ceased support for QuickTime 7 on macOS in 2018. As of Mac OS X Lion, the underlying media framework for QuickTime, QTKit, was deprecated in favor of a newer graphics framework, AVFoundation, and completely discontinued as of macOS Catalina.
  7. Commonly called Carom billiards, also called French billiards. The game is played with three balls (two white and one red) on a table without pockets, in which the object is to drive one of the white balls (cue ball) into both of the other balls. Have you never played a game of pool on a table with six pockets?
  8. I didn't know where to put this so most people would see it, so I put it in my favorite apt. Some of you may have seen one of these before, but I never have. I thought it was absolutely amazing and fascinating. Those flickering lights you see in the night sky are not always stars. Happy Holidays, y'all.

  9. Cue sports, also known as billiard sports, are a wide variety of games of skill generally played with a cue stick, which is used to strike billiard balls and thereby cause them to move around a cloth-covered billiards table bounded by elastic bumpers known as cushions. Historically, the umbrella term was billiards. Wikipedia
  10. So I have a lot of films from the last few months, but all of them are jerky videos. ________________ There are video converters that will let you change the fps as you convert. By convert, I mean from mp4 to mp4, just so you can change the fps. Check these out. https://www.leawo.org/tutorial/frame-rate-converter-for-windows-mac-1387.html This one may be of interest because it allows you to change the fps in multiple videos at once. https://videoconverter.wondershare.com/video-editing-tips/change-frame-rate.html https://www.avdshare.com/change-video-frame-rate I just listed a few. Go here to find more. video+converter+to+change+fps - Google Search WWW.GOOGLE.COM Have fun.
  11. Thanks for your help, unfortunately I can't find anything in the menu where you can make settings. For recording I use Quick Time as a screen recording, installed by default in the Mac, the recording is almost uncompressed in H.264 to keep the file smaller, I converted the video to 1080p via quicktime (in both cases it stutters. Yes, that with the frame rate could actually be the problem, but I can't find a setting anywhere H.264 is the codec. If you can find some sort of settings or configuration for that, you may be able to change the framerate. If there is no way to make changes to it, I'd say find a better program. As for other software to use, just Google, free screen recorder software, or something similar. You will find dozens of free programs. You might also see articles with names like "The best free screen recorders of 2020", etc. They can help to narrow down your search. You're right to want to get rid of QuickTime. It hasn't been updated in years, I believe, and was also discontinued by the company. I hope this was helpful. Good luck in your search.
  12. That's funny. I actually was going to say exactly that, but decided to go easy on you this time.
  13. Everybody's a comedian...AND an eegit!!
  14. I'm sorry, John, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my reply to Leora-Fan. If you were just saying oCam works for you, that's great, but he's using QuickTime. People tend to use what they know, what they like, what they're used to and what works for them. He may not want to switch to another program and have to learn how to use it, configure it, etc., especially if a quick change in QuickTime might fix the problem. 😊
  15. While this area is great for what she's doing, and I hope she continues, it is in desperate need of some light. Otherwise, we just get a black hole to look at.
  16. Great caps , Itsme, love that they're nearly full size. 👍👍
  17. I can explain why I don't know how to capture a video from the stream, so I captured the video as a screen capture using Quick Time. My Mac from 2010 is probably too slow to process Hey, Leora-Fan. I'm not sure if this is what's causing the problem, but it's worth a try and you can always change it back if it doesn't help. Dig around in QuickTime until you find the codec you're using to record your videos. I can't tell what name to look for, there are many, but it should be labeled as the codec. Then go into the configuration for that codec and look for something called framerate or frames per second or fps. Change that to something like 25 or 30. Take note of what it is currently in case you want to change it back. Now, try recording something to see if the stuttering has gone away or at least gotten better. Keep in mind that increasing the framerate (fps) will increase the file size or weight of the file, I think you call it. For example, if you're currently recording at 10 fps, that means every second of video contains 10 still pictures or frames. But, if you record at 30 fps, you will get 30 frames per second of video. More information equals a larger file. Some video players, such as VLC, will allow you to parse through each frame within each second of video. If, for instance, you want to find the sharpest frame of a particular part of a scene, parsing frame by frame would allow you to do that. Even though the video may look sharp to the naked eye, each frame of the video is likely not as sharp as it seems, for many reasons. For each second of video recorded at 30 fps, you're seeing 30 still pictures all at once, much too fast for the eye to see individually. That's why it may look sharp to the naked eye as it's playing, but when you stop the playback of the video to take a screenshot, that frame may be quite blurry. I hope this is helpful to you.
  18. I'm not choosing sides and I am DAMN sure NOT getting in the middle of this, Jabba, but why stir the shit. Man, just leave it alone.
  19. Yes, I caught it all. That's why I said he was being nutty.
