Nothing to see...

A simple blog about all things in the world that is ridikulouse.

Technological steps, are man kinds greatest achievements

Not a Fighter, but a lover of Tech.

Love of the internet

The Internet is the final frontier for open connected networks, it promotes speech and advances knowledge for any mere person. The internet is fast becoming a need rather a want, and it is recognised by the UN as a necessity for the modern person.

Photography

Photography is more than just Art and expression, it is the manipulation of the light and provokes emotion and memories.

Have a look around

The articles on this blog represent my thoughts and views at the time of writing, I can always change my views through further education...please don't hold me against my views. Some of the articles have been written to assist anyone else with similar issues - it also helps me to remember. Hope you get something out of this.

Double Take!

Well with the WWDC 10 coming up this is something that is great to watch :

Just makes you wonder whether Apple is actually on the ball on what consumers want.

Megavideo Audio out of Sync ?

I noticed that after I got my MacBook Pro that the Megavideo's audio was out of sync, sometimes up to 5-10 seconds. Sometimes, when the lag is only about a couple of seconds you can let it slip by not focusing on an actors lips, but when the lag is greater than a couple of seconds it makes it impossible.

Usually this is due to a codec, on a windows machine it's quite simple, download the latest version of K-Lite codec pack and 9 times out of 10 the problem is solved. If that didn't work then you can get a codec detection program and try and hunt for that codec.

With a Mac, however, it was not as easy to get a codec pack. But, I have done some digging around and I think there is a possible way to solve this on a Mac:

  1. Download and install Perian
  2. Download and install VLC Media Player
By installing both of these, and moving away from the clunky QuickTime player I was able to get my video/audio in sync. 

Hope this helped.
