  1. I wanted to see what "Rants and Flame Wars" was all about, so I randomly
    clicked on this thread and I had to smile at a couple of the posts I read.
    Like this one:

    " Piracy is real problem and the lack of respect for those who take the time
    to post both pictures and videos is despicable."

    But, the people who take the time to post those pictures and videos
    originally to CamCaps, are the ones who pirated the media from RLC
    in the first place. It's like saying, "There's no honor among thieves,"
    or like, "The pot calling the kettle black."

    Or, like this post:

    " RLC violates copyright all the time. Every time they broadcast one of
    tenants watching tv, playing music, or show a logo."

    RLC can't violate their own copyright, if they are the ones broadcasting the
    media. They are the owners of the copyright, so they can broadcast
    whatever they want, without any copyright infringement. They may need to
    get their tenants' permission, but they still own the copyright to the media.

    Don't get me wrong. I applaud and greatly appreciate and highly
    respect all the people who take the time and go to the trouble and run
    the risk of posting all those pictures and videos, as I'm sure do all the other
    members of this forum.

    And I think RLC should realize they can't do much to stop it. It's going to
    happen one way or another. But, it is a wonderful form of advertising for them, no
    matter what they think or do.

    very delicious

    Huso, Hiddenwood, Happy, you guys sure are posting some
    great pics. I especially like the funny faces. Unfortunately,
    they're being taken down almost as fast as you can post them.
    Is that a copyright issue or is Tinypic taking them down for a
    different reason?
     

  3. I REALLY like Irma and Polya is a lot of fun, too. Unfortunately,
    five of the videos about them that corboblanc posted just last
    Wednesday on MAB, are no longer available. He doesn't remember
    which ones they were, because he just threw them up haphazardly.
    He suggested that maybe one of you guys, or girls, might be
    kind enough to re-share them, please. I would greatly appreciate
    it if someone would.

    They are the last two videos on page one and the first three
    at the top of page two in this video thread. Thank you if you
    would.

    Yeah, that's the thing letsdothis, there is no original 1080p, the stream is only 720p even if you enlarge it and record it at 1080p. Blowing it up and then cropping it doesn't accomplish anything more than increasing the size of the file and exaggerating the "blurriness". Think about taking a 35mm slide and blowing it up to an 8 x10 inch print. Bigger yes, better no. If you just stay with 720p, people who download your video can zoom in as much as they want. If you crop it and/or up scan it to a higher resolution you take away those options for the end user. Filling a screen with a zoomed and cropped snippet of a 720p video looks terrible especially if you tinkered with the original 9:16 aspect ratio.  

    Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time.

    Don't bother recording them in 1920 x 1080 (1080p) B33fheart, the native resolution of the RLC stream is only 1280 x 720 (720p) and recording them at higher resolutions does nothing for clarity and just makes larger files to store.

    Chip, In most cases I would agree with you, the exception being
    if you're going to crop the original video. If I understand the way
    resolution works, if you start with an original at 1080p and crop
    it in half, for example, you're going end up with a second generation
    video with better resolution than if your original is 720p and you
    crop that in half.

    On the other hand, recording a 720p stream at 1080p, may not
    give a better resolution to start with. What do you think, Chip?

    effectivement, je pense que vous avez trouvé!!!! je pense que les vitres de l'armoire de nora, ne sont pas complètement fermées, cela se joue à quelques millimètres, qui suffisent pour donner un reflet différent!!!! chez ilona, les poignées d'ouverture de l'armoire, sont au même niveau, alors que pour nora, le rond de droite est un peu plus bas que celui de gauche. cela veut dire que la porte de l'armoire n'est pas complètement fermée!!! dans cette intrigue, c'est plutôt les portes de l'armoire qu'il faut regarder, que l'emplacement de la caméra......

    actually, I think you have found !!!! I think that the windows of the cabinet of nora, are not completely closed, this plays to a few millimeters, which are enough to give a different reflection !!!! ilona in the open handles of the cabinet are level, while for nora, the right circle is a little lower than the left. it means that the cabinet door is not completely closed !!! in this story, it is rather the cabinet doors to look out, the location of the camera ......:blush::lightbulb::sleepy:

    Thank you, Corboblanc.

    but there is indeed a single explanation, I let those who want it, find it and have fun a little ......

    Actually, I see at least two possible explanations. I'm sure other
    people will come up with more. The most reasonable possibility
    that I see is the glass doors are open a little bit more or closed a
    bit more from one picture to the other, causing a different reflection
    to be seen in each picture.

    The other possibility is the entire unit has been moved off center
    a bit, also causing different reflections to show in the glass.

    Don't be a wiseass. I simply answered the question the way it is written on his forehead. In all CAPS.     STONE

                                                                                                                                                                           COLD

     

    And I'm glad you are happy for my sight. I am too as a matter of fact. And for $8000USD, it fucking well better be good. Before I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me a few years back.

    And you thought that was rude, you need to read the posts of many others here. Then I suspect that you will offer me an apology, like you should.

    I suspect that you are not a stupid man and that you very well know I was not referring
    to your answer of 'STONE COLD'. Throughout my childhood, my Grandmother would
    regale me with all kinds of old sayings. One that I remember her telling me was, "If you
    don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all." I think I will
    heed my dear, departed Grandmother's advice, right ---- about -------------------- now.

    STONE COLD

     

    Are you using a phone to see the board? I can read that from across the room.

    I am very happy, Sir, that your eyesight is that excellent. There are a lot of people on this planet who wish they had eyesight that good. I call you 'Sir' because I presume you are a guy, since most members of this forum are guys and because most women would not be so rude for absolutely no reason, at all. But, again, I am very pleased about your eyesight and I hope it stays with you throughout the rest of your life. I wish you a wonderful week and right on through the coming weekend.

    CyberGhost is a good one.  The Free Version of it has a 3 Hour Time Limit per session. Once it times out just connect it again.

    Thanks a lot. I'll give it a shot. BTW, what's written across your forehead? I've tried magnification, but I still can't make it out.

    I just leave it on 1.75 and it works fine for me. I don't play with the settings to much. Covers my monitor nicely to cover the screen.  The flashing dots I don't worry about them. I don't have an account they can ban only an IP  and I can change that at any given time.

    If it works, don't fix it, right? But, I am interested in your IP changer. My ISP gives me a static IP address and I have tried, in vain, to find an IP changer that actually works. They all claim they'll change my IP, but none I've found actually do anything. Do you mind if I ask which one you use?

    With the Windows Magnifier I found when I went over 350% you could start seeing little square pixels and with ZoomIT I could run it at 1.75 and get the desired result of Full Screen with with no square pixels visible.

    It all depends on the size of Monitor and resolution settings. Everyone will get a different result as each user has their own setting preference.

    If my math skills serve me like they used to, no matter what the resolution, 1.75 (or 175%) is exactly half the size of 350%. So, on ZoomIt's scale, using an apples-to-apples comparison, 350% would be 3.5, if there were a 3.5 on ZoomIt's scale. As a reference, 2.0 on ZoomIt's scale represents exactly double the screen size, or 200%, no matter what the resolution. 400% or 4.0 would be four times the screen size. I could be wrong. I have been known to be wrong before. There was that one time back in 1987. :biggrin:

    Of course it's possible, there are extensions for it. I'm a chrome user, so I didn't go into it. I didn't get what any of it has to do with premium members.

    RLC just removed full screen use from everyone except premium members.

     Thanks, but I found out you can just press 2 to go to wide screen and1 to go back or use the icons on the top of the page to go to "single wide mode ".

     Slider

    And I appreciate that info, but I was referring to full-screen mode, the feature that RLC just took away from everyone except premium members. It's different from single wide mode. You were talking about short-cuts to different screen sizes, so I just added one that I had found.

    It wouldn't, it's a chrome extension. It's extremely simple really, hardly any code.

    That's too bad about Firefox, but even if I were a premium member, I wouldn't have the slightest clue where to even start creating an extension, in any browser. Do you know if it's possible to create user extensions in Firefox?

    I made a chrome extension that allows me to toggle full screen by pressing a button.

    You smart guys, always showing off. :wink: Aren't you going to share? I'm sure the premium members would like to have it. Would it work in Firefox?

    You can also press the " Single Wide Mode " icon in the top lists of screen modes and it also works !

    For what it's worth, probably not much since RLC committed its GIGANTIC business plan faux pas (it's called greed and greed causes a downward spiral), but you used be able to double-click on the screen itself to toggle between full-screen and single screen mode. Even the non-paying users.

  18. This looks like the right place to be. I paid my $12 about 48 hours ago. I sent you my email and username, twice. I even logged out and logged in multiple times. But, I still don't see any added features: no additional pics or videos, no attachment center, no media gallery, etc. Did I do something wrong? I can show you where my bank made the payment. Do I have to do something more? Thanks for your help.
