Thanks for posting, I want it!

@PsykX, go ask Nvidia and ATI, it's more their fault and not Microsoft's. Damn video drivers.

lol well it's not really nVidia or ATI's fault because they are responsible for the graphics that appear on the screen when you play a game only, not for what's running on the background. I know what you mean though, it's up to them to make the next-gen video cards compatible with DX10.0

On the other hand, MS was supposed to disable most of the services when you play a game, I haven't heard about this feature being cut nor implemented. If, indeed they shut down all the useless services in the background, it can give more CPU usage, RAM usage and more Disk usage to spend on the games! That's like one of the only features in Vista that really did surprise me, that and DX10, so I hope it's not removed.

i'm pretty sure you already breached that.

Oh man...the NDA has BEEN breached this Vista was a fetus. You didn't know? :huh: :rolleyes:

/sarcasm

I really wish we could stop with the "No. Can't discuss because of NDA." crap. :angry:

Err. ATI and nVidia's display drivers are *always* active when you've installed them. If anything is appearing at all on your screen, you're using them. I've had a few random blue screens using ATI's RC1 beta drivers, when I just go to hit switch user or the like. It's a bit of a nuisance. I haven't had time to debug the minidump yet, but I'm pretty sure it's ATI's fault... since it doesn't happen with the stock drivers that come with Windows =)

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this? It's less than a month from RTMing, why would we get another build? TAP testers are the real beta testers, they'll get more builds, but I don't see why we would.

What do you mean real beta testers? That's insulting to those of us on the techbeta that work very hard and may I add for free in an effort to make Windows Vista decent.

Beta Testers will get at least another build before RTM.

Very good talk indeed. The only thing is you all already left the 5734 subject far away from being the central poin of the conversation. DVD is meaning? and Compact Disks???? NDA?? Oh I know why, is it because there are no screenshots of the build available yet?

TAP is the top dog, always has been. They get weekly builds as stated. Tech Beta maybe one a month if you are lucky. Tech Beta is due to get one more build. For TAP, they could get four more builds. So who is more important ? Looks to be TAP.

would be nice to see some screenshots... not that anything will really change that much at this late stage (unfortunately). wondering when they will put the sounds in finally??

Every post with a vista build screenshot looks the same, just a different build on the bottom left. Not much to get excited about over that bud

I will wait a little before there's a stable build and can't wait to test it in Boot Camp :p

All I wanna know is will it play games better? I know nobody has an answer on this, but still. I want the question answered asap by microsoft... I mean, all I will do on Windows is play games and some of my work with office 2007. Otherwise, I never use Windows.

Actually over at www.winsupersite.com Paul has done quite a bit of testing on games. According to him HL2, Doom 3 and others run as good or better than XP.

Google a bit before making asumptions.

I'm not sure about this... :huh:

Its true that since RC1 game speed have increased but its definitely less framerate in Vista than in xp for the same games. But with some games its hard to feel the difference.

Ex: Farcry runs around 55fps in Xp for me and it runs around 45fps in vista 5728.

Actually i even found a link were they tested ATi & Nvidia on vista & Xp here:

      What would be the point wasting time, money and resource testing EOL operating systems?

      expected when they force you by having to use TPM and secure boot for anti cheat crap, and lazy developers only test on windows 11.

      The fact I need to use "Show more" like 99% of the time is so annoying. Or why I have 7-zip under 3 submenus when it could be in top. And Microslop keeps saying how they'll improve Start and I've not seen ANY improvement yet. In MONTHS. WTF?! I'll believe any of it when they actually deliver anything.

    • LosslessCut 3.69

      By Copernic · Posted

      LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video.
