Erase the same parts from many jpgs,

sluive — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 13:30:32 +0800

Hi sifus,

I want to delete the same parts (such as page number etc..) from many jpg files. Currently I have to open each jpg file in MS Paint to select and delete the same parts individually, however, it's time consuming as there are hundreds of them.

Does any one know whether there is a way to delete all at once, and any software (preferably free) which can achieve this? Batch select and delete the same portion of many jpg files, like in the attachment.

Thanks in advance.

Useful online JPEG resizer,

FlierMate11 — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 19:44:54 +0800

I recommend:

https :// jpegresizer.com/

It compresses image files further without resizing the dimension of the picture.
The output quality is still good. I use it to further compress 3~4MB JPEG (from Android Phone camera app) to below 1MB (and at the same time maintain the same height and width), so that you can upload using forum's Upload Images function.

Any recommended ppmate/ppstream alternative?,

adam_lew85 — Sun, 18 Jul 2021 21:23:02 +0800

Hi all, I miss the moment that we can use ppmate or ppstream to watch china TV channels and different countries channels for free long time ago... currently all of us MCO at home and I think is the best time to watch these free channels again.

Is there any recommended free alternative works similar to ppmate or ppstream?

Thanks in advance for any recommendation

Swiss Army knife of MP4 Ts Conversion + Compress, Top Video Converter Rating

jenny Ngel — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 20:57:41 +0800

I rate based on these criteria without bias. I tested every video converter below before post this:
fast
free
no error
look
ease
offline
Video output quality

If you google ts to mp4 converter now, you will find hard time to get one.
I know there are video converter like Format Factory, but I am not going to install a 200mb application just to convert ts.
I have no issue with other video format actually, but VLC is so lag when I want to jump to another timeline when playing .ts video.
Renaming the extension like most youtube video will not solve the lag, to solve it is to convert it.
Let's do lot of video files converting and evaluate the speed.

Ok let's evaluate free video converter option already out there:
Format factory - 4/5

Full install size ~218mb
Complete free: yes
Look: 3/5
Ease: too many clicking
Video quality: ok
No video quality lost: probably possible with extra manual setting
Speed: medium
Last updated: 2020

Free TS Converter - 4.3/5

Full install size ~150mb
Complete free convert ts: yes
Look: 4.5/5
Ease: easy but application will got pop out ads
Video quality: ok
No video quality lost: not possible
Speed: medium
Last Updated: Aug 2020

VLC - 3/5 (video player itself is 5/5 no comment, but it's not a tool for convert video)

Full install size ~167mb
Complete free: yes
Look: 4/5
Ease: Not ideal for video convert task
Video quality: ok
Speed: possible fast but still too many works
Ok I know this is more like a video player but itself got video converting option. VLC itself is pretty, but converter is meh.
No video quality lost: possible with manual adjust
Last updated: 2020

Vidmore - not rated
No picture coz it's not free. not recommended.
Limited 5 minute file.

Handbrake - 4.5/5 (I will give it 4.7 if it will automatic save setting after exit)

Full install size ~58mb
Complete free: yes
Look: 4.3/5
Ease: too many configuration, need to manual adjust each time
Video quality: with configuration you can output original quality but cannot save setting
Speed: possible fast but many configuration
No video quality lost: possible
Last Updated: 2020 (should be stable)

Pazera - 4/5

Full install size ~42mb
Complete free: yes
Look: 4/5
Ease: okish, but no option to keep original video quality (bad)
Video quality: ok
No video quality lost: probably possible need manual skills but I truly not sure
Speed: Possible fast maybe?
Year: 2018 (should be stable)

Medlexo - 4.8/5 (I will give it 4.9 if there is language translation)

Full install size ~12mb
Complete free: yes
Look: 4.5/5
Ease: very straight forward, easy for beginner
Video quality: Original
No video quality lost: Always no quality lost
Speed: very fast
Last Updated: 2020 (should be stable)

If the software is stable, mean there is no bug so it don't need update to fix bugs.
The choice of my best list: medlexo
What do you guys think? Which one is your favorite converter? Do share with me.

Media Player Classic - Which one?, MPC-HC.1.7.13 or MPC-HC.1.9.7?

Raikkonen — Sun, 27 Sep 2020 19:53:11 +0800

Hi.

Both for x64 Windows 7.

I read that MPC-HC.1.7.13 is the final version back in 2017.

No more updates.

Suddenly saw this MPC-HC.1.9.7.

So, which one should I install?

Also, this mpc used our RAM a lot correct?

Many times got pop up window saying program needs to be closed.

Thank you.

Can anybody recommend a software that can do things like fading in and fading out of texts with the same background like in this video?

I just need a simple software and not a complex software. I have tried Easy Sketch Pro but it can't do this.

Files become unviewable after transferring, Android to Windows 10, photos unviewable

Samuraix-29 — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 16:54:16 +0800

Transfer photos from Android, files became very big and unviewable, please help, how to fix?

Hi all,

Need a very big help from all of you, so I was transferring photos from my Note 10 Plus to my windows 10, usually, I will use copy and paste function, but somehow this time, I decided to cut and paste to save some time.

And after transferring the photos, I can't open the files, the file size became very huge as well, it is showing as 173TB when I don't even have such big storage on my computer. Each of the files is 89GB, but the actual size looks like 4kb There are also two arrows on each of the files.

Please advise how can I repair the files if anyone does come across such a problem.

And if it is not repairable, I transferred these photos directly from my phone memory, so if anyone does have experience recovering cut and paste photos from android phone, please provide guidance and help.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Please see below for pictures:
