Nicko what the heck are you talkin about? Cut and paste? You can do that to video files? How? Sorry for the questions, I never heard of this before. :)

[Nickokapo]

Yes you can do that to video files...i'm gonna try make a little guide and post it here later when it's done :dead:
Edit: ok, this is what you have to do...
Download virtual dub (get it here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1_4_10.zip ) and then unzip it to a folder, go to that folder, and double click in VirtualDub.exe, a window should pop up (duh)
Now click on "file", click on "open video file..."
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub1.jpg
And select the episode that has the opening by double clicking in it
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub2.jpg
Now move the little arrow to the beginning of the opening
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub3.jpg
And then click on "file", and click on "set selection start"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub4.jpg
Now you will have to move the little arrow again, but this time to the *end* of the opening
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub5.jpg
And then click on "edit", and click on "set selection end"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub6.jpg
Now click on "video", and click on "compression"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub7.jpg
Now select the codec you want to compress the video with and then click "OK", i recommend "DivX ;-) MPEG-4 Low-Motion" because it kicks your beloved butt
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub8.jpg
Now click on "file", and click on "save as avi"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub9.jpg
And now the final step, write the filename (by example yousuck.avi) and click on gua--errr...um...whatever that button might be in the english version of windows...probably "save" or something like that...
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub10.jpg
If a window like this appears:
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub11.jpg
Just click on yes, probably nothing will happen, i've used divx to convert lotsa' stuff and it never crashed...
Now wait for the file to save...that's *IT*!YOU DID IT, YOU MEGA-GENIUS OF VIDEOEDITING!!!
Well that's how you cut it, im gonna post how to paste it later, because right now i'm too bored.Should you have any problem(s) in the process of cutting the video, feel free to ask me, for i might as well ignore you...or help you out.
Happy video-cutting! :D :P

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Holy cow, dude! That last post just might have been the most educational post I've ever read on here. :o

*Salutes Nickokapo with a glass of Fruit Punch* Three cheers for Nickokapo, educator of all things dealing with Ninja Turtles technological stuff. :)

"You earth beings have remarkable ingenuity, Donatello!" - Kerma, from "Planet of the Turtleoids" :tsmile:

[R-iZZy]

What the hell happened to the turtles? In the last couple seasons, from the eps I downloaded and watched, what is with this turtles fighting aliens bs? What happened to shredder? Besides Dregg is gay lol. :D

geez, someone has the mouth of a kid with tourette syndrome!!!
but yeah, dregg is kinda useless

and nicko has been known to make the most important posts to our ninja turtle needs. so newbie (Ninja Turtle Cartoon Fan)... do not be surprised when he makes a post that could become a very literal novel someday.

me... mine are the lengths of an average Dr. Seuss book, but without the rhymes. argh!

[Karpo_007]

well that was not too hard to do even without a guide....

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i know...virtualDub's pretty easy to use...it's one of my fave divx proggies and most useful too...that one, and divfix too :D
Gee...thanks dudes :toops:

*Salutes Nickokapo with a glass of Fruit Punch*
Fruit punch, yay! *salutes ninja turtles cartoon fan with a glass of Fruit Head!* http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/fruitstorm.gif
I'll post the video pasting thingie soon, i gotta make a lot of screenshots first :dead:

[Karpo_007]

Yeah virtualdub is a must have...

[Nickokapo]

:nod: You can check if the movie you are downloading from kazaa is the real one with it, not having to wait for it to finish downloading, convert files from a format to another, apply filters and another enhancing gizmos (even tho i haven't tried this part, but it looks like its gonna be useful if i ever get a video capturing card), and a lot more stuff... :thyper:

[Machias Banshee]

blasted Kazaa....

I downloaded the newest version of Kazaa, and (to my horror) found that ALL of my eps were thrown out as well! :tmad: NOw i try to just get CONNECTED to Kazaa, and it wont let me!

*bangs head on desk before passing out*

[Karpo_007]

well i dont like kazaa... I never works and files can get corrupted on the way...

[Nickokapo]

blasted Kazaa....

I downloaded the newest version of Kazaa, and (to my horror) found that ALL of my eps were thrown out as well! :tmad:
:o :dead:
NOw i try to just get CONNECTED to Kazaa, and it wont let me!
If you have a firewall then perhaps that may be the problem...you can open kazaa, go to tools>options>firewall> and config it there...if it's not the firewall then i have no idea what it can be :|
*bangs head on desk before passing out*
:blanksta:

[Machias Banshee]

I had FOURTEEN Episodes, Man! Gone in a flash! I was wicked bummed...Now I gotta find a way to get them all back! I had the very first one, Shedder gets Splintered, Punk Frogs, Beneath the sewers, Cowabunga Shreddhead, It Came from beneath the sewers, Tower of Power...all gone. :tcry:

[Karpo_007]

i have all! im a happy man!

[Nickokapo]

:-? bummer...the case of the dissapearing eps.
Maybe your shared folder got deleted when you re-installed kazaa, and if you had your eps in the shared folder, then they probably got deleted like that... :-? strange...
I think you can get invasion of the punk frogs, cowabunga shredhead, beneath the sewers and some other eps from kazaa because i think they're still there...but i haven't seen tower of power so good luck getting that one.
Im gonna put my tmnt eps folder to be shared...I don't think it will work because i tried before and the eps that i was sharing didn't show up in the search...but i'll still share em just in case it works. :ohwell: :oops:

[Machias Banshee]

I bow down and thank thee...

Whats the scoop with this Speed up thing? Is it supposed to speedup your downloads or something? I'm not very fluent in puter jargon...

[Nickokapo]

Oh i have no idea what does that thing does :-? i got the exact same application too but it was called fasttrack accelerator...it's supposed to make your downloads faster by finding more sources to download from, but i never use it because kazaa works fine without it for me :ohwell:

[Machias Banshee]

well, I just checked my firewall, and its not up, so i dont know why its not working...I get the homepage, thats about it.

[Nickokapo]

Oh...well i dunno then :dead: :(

[Machias Banshee]

Best thing for me to do probably is to uninstall it, and try it again...

[Nickokapo]

Yes that might work...remember to get the "lite" version of kazaa or you will end up with a pc full of spyware :dead:

[Machias Banshee]

1.7.2, right? it did say lite, i think...

[Nickokapo]

Yep 1.7.2 is the latest version.

[prowler4]

Ok Nicko I did the cut now how do I paste?

[Nickokapo]

You'll need to gimme some time to make the little guide but i'll post it here when it's done :D

[Machias Banshee]

well, that plann bombed...guess there'll be no more eps for me... *pout* :ohwell:

[Nickokapo]

Bummer :oops: i wish filetransfering over the net were easier...

[Machias Banshee]

NO kidding...If i could get them in RealMedia form, i'd be happy!

[Nickokapo]

One of the realmedia eps i have is tower of power, but i don't got anywhere to upload it :| sigh.

[Machias Banshee]

to be able to share RealMedia Ninja Turtles would be a glorious sight...

[prowler4]

ok take your time no rush.

[Nickokapo]

ok take your time no rush.
Allrightie!I'll make it either later today or tomorrow..
to be able to share RealMedia Ninja Turtles would be a glorious sight...
Yes...maybe i could split the files with winace and upload them...but then again, compressed files sometimes don't work :ohwell:

[Raphael]

I might attempt to convert some of my TMNT eps to RM tonight. I'll see how it goes, for filesize, etc.

[Nickokapo]

Technical mumbo jumbo... :goofygri:
Ok here's the guide on how to paste the files:
First go to the VirtualDub folder and open VirtualDub.exe by doubleclicking in it.
Then click on "file", and click on "open video file"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub1.jpg
And select the episode you want to paste the opening in, by example get shredder (Yeah i know "Get Shredder!" already has the intro, but imagine it does not, it'll save me some bandwith and time :wink: )
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub2.jpg
Now click on "file", and click on "append Avi segment"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdubpaste1.jpg
And select the opening file we cuted last time, by example yousuck.avi (Hmmm...it says get shredder.avi...Time to use your imagination again, be careful, don't fry your brain :) )
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub2.jpg
Now click on "video", and click on "compression"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub7.jpg
And when the window pops up, choose the codec you want to save the file with (i recommend Divx low motion) and click on "Ok"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub8.jpg
Now click on "file", and click on "save as avi"
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub9.jpg
Now choose the folder you want to save your intro-added episode, enter the filename of the episode (By example yousuck.avi [yep, the episode has the same filename than the intro...ahh the misteries of life!]) and click on...save...or...whatever that button might be..
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub10.jpg
Now click on yes if that annoying window appears
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/vdub11.jpg
Now for the final 6 steps:
http://twiki.org/p/pub/Main/RobokopSuxors/6easysteps.jpg
So that's how you paste a video file with virtual dub...now i gotta go, its 7 am and i'm too sleepy :oops:

[Nickokapo]

I might attempt to convert some of my TMNT eps to RM tonight. I'll see how it goes, for filesize, etc.
Um...one question...why?Unless you want to upload em somewhere (smaller filesizes are better), i don't see how that's useful, you'll just end up with a lower quality file :ohwell:

[prowler4]

Ok I'm confused. It didn't work. :-?

[Nickokapo]

Well, why didn't it work?was there an error window or something?I need more info or else i won't be able to help :-?

[prowler4]

The actuall pasting of the clip didn't work. I don't know what I did wrong, but I didn't paste.

The only other option would be to delete them, and that isn't going to happen... ;)

Ohhhh...makes sense...all the eps must be at least 9GB of space in total...well i guess in that case it's much better to have em in rm instead of not having anything :)

[Deathknight]

I got a question about converting... why is so bad about asfs that people convert them to divx? I mean you can view asfs in windows media player.

[Nickokapo]

I have no idea...i only rename asf files to avi because they play anyways, but i don't convert them...by the way, i just watched your encode of big bug blunder, and it cuts when mike says "well dude, usually we just kick back, scarf a little pizza and watch a l--" and then it cuts, so basically, we still need a complete version of big bug blunder :sweatdro:

[heintzvelvet]

Hey Nickokapo.

I notced on your screenshots that you have a file called, Ninja Turtles Power Rangers Crossover or something like that... What is that? The next mutation or something?

thanks,
Ian!

[Nickokapo]

Yeah...it's a 2 episodes crossover of power rangers in space with ninja turtles the next mutation...even tho the turtles appear mostly in the 2nd ep, in the first one they just appear like 1 minute at the ending :ohwell:

[heintzvelvet]

Could I get it from you next time your on mIRC? (HARDONUT) or If you want I could give you my FTP Address. I hardly ever use it. Its rarely turned on, but I would be happy to open it up for you to upload that to me.

Thanks,
Ian!

[Nickokapo]

You're hardonut?!Ahhh i remember you! :D Sure i'll upload it but i'll need an ftp account because i always get disconnected if i send by irc :oops:
Edit: that reminded me to update my list...replaced some incomplete episodes for complete ones n' stuff :P

[Deathknight]

Nicko, there is something wrong with your file... If you want I'll make you a file you can combine with that which completes the phrase. Here is my theory of how this happend... If my memory is correct you dropped at like 99% and I had to do one final resume. At the final resume the file got damaged so the ending was not on it. *sigh* problems, problems, problems, always god damn problems.

[Nickokapo]

Um...allright i guess :D
Here is my theory of how this happend... If my memory is correct you dropped at like 99% and I had to do one final resume. At the final resume the file got damaged so the ending was not on it.
Probably...i resumed the fricking file like 900 bazillion times :sweatdro:
*sigh* problems, problems, problems, always god damn problems.
Yeah...problems...well look at the bright side, at least--oh wait...there's no bright side. :oops:

[Deathknight]

The bright side is that it's fixable. I made you an addon file, come on irc tonight when this forum says... um like 4:00 maybe and i'll probably be there.

[Nickokapo]

4:00...hmmmm, okay...wait a minute...i changed the forum time to the buenos aires time so that means i'll have to change it again if i want to find out when it'll be 4:00 in this forum..bleh :-? :dead:
