Haha! After Debating which one I Should submit to the competition, I finally decided, Upon listening to both of them for a while, that my first entry (first mp3 I posted) will be the one I will submit, You can omit the second one, it was just for laughs and gags. I was having way too much fun with "dragons" ;)

Your hobo (the person who gave him the egg?) speech sounds like 'James William Bottomtooth III' off Family Guy :yes:

Edit - Please don't quote my initial post! - Rob

I hope that I am replying in the right place. Since I started using computers only recently, I apologize for my inexperience in posting to this forum, as I usually don't use the computer for much more than emailing and donating my spare computing cycles to worthy causes. Which is precisely what my audio submission for this contest stipulates.

And if I am the lucky winner, fingers crossed, I fully intend to do exactly what I said in my submission, but since the time limit was only a minute, I don't know if I made it clear, that if I won, and actually did own that machine, I would donate spare computing cycles from it, to ALL of the available causes, ALL at once, since it could probably handle it.

And with that said, I hope that even if I don't win, and get to do that, maybe others that read this post, or listen to my submission, will consider doing the same thing, with their computers, instead of wasting all the spare processing power that they have, doing mundane things such as I mentioned in my audio file. Thanks for hosting this contest, and maybe now that I have posted and submitted something to your forum, I will be able to contribute more in the future.

Just to clarify, it's a real-life dragon you're supposed to be talking about, not the Dragon-named machine!

oh well that sucks, please remove my submissions in this thread thus far. I will now have to go back to the drawing board.

Did you not hear the other submissions in this thread? I've added a dragon image to the initial post :p You weren't the only one, don't worry, I guess clarifications were needed.

If Rob was clarifying the rules to this contest because of my submission in particular, I'm sorry, but the mention in my audio file, about SLAYING the problems that donating spare computer processing cycles, would be about the only reference to a REAL dragon that I have, and seeing as how, I really don't know very much about any real dragons, that's about all I can muster. So please accept this as my submission. Thanx.

Heh. Thats a good spoof of the "get a mac" commercial. lol

Though, kind of creepy with the mono-tone computerized voice :p

I sent it down to Marketing and am trying to get it it redone by Justin. ;) Needless to say they chuckled at the request.

I'm posting mine now to get it over and done with!

Apologies if you cannot understand my accent. :pinch:

You should definitely win, your sound byte was hilarious. Loved every minute of it. I have seriously underdone (is that a word?) my sound file. oh well. good luck to you.

    • 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 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.

    • Doesn't even need a UI for point 2 - use some sort of JSON/XML container - because MOST users won't even bother.
