CDV's from the 80's/90's - It is quite impossible to play (or create - some people do ask about this) these discs on a PC. ONLY laserdisc players are capable of playing them. I have a few of these and if you have a capture card on your PC it's not difficult to capture the video from them when played on a laserdisc player and do whatever you want with it (convert to Divx, m ...

AutoGK problems - I assume you're talking about subs for another language, which are always on. Technically, Forced Subs are a small number of dialog lines within a larger sub file that includes that foreign language dialog but also the main language dialog. They'll be marked as Forced. Often times though, that foreign language dialog has its own subtitle stream and ...

DVD sourced from VCD? - Well, if it has a resolution of 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL) and is MPEG-1 video, I'd say it was created from a VCD source. Of course someone either deliberately or through ignorance could take a VCD source and re-encode to MPEG-2 and possibly attempt to re-size it upward to hide this. I'd expect very poor quality from that. The presence of a ...

slow playback on 1080p videos with COREAVC - KMPlayer doesn't use DXVA on its own, but I guess you've forced it to use the h.264 decoder from MPCHC . But you report that module is not using DXVA for some reason. I suppose that could mean some kind of driver compatibility issue. Just to be sure, you could try playing with MPCHC and make sure the h.264 DXVA module is being used. Also be ...

Help. Convert menu sublayer from 720x576 to 720x480 (PAL to NTSC) - DVDSubEdit is a good way to get the BMP. You checked the BMP, right, to make sure the text or icons are there? Sometimes I use DVDSubEdit and just get a solid colored BMP, if I don't do it right. I guess this just shows how long ago I did this as I never updated dvdsubedit and didn't know current versions of it can save the subics as BMP's ...

How can I edit *.bdmv files to correct aspect ratio? - What do you play the blu-ray dvd with? And don't crop it. Keep it in 1920x1080 or resize to 1280x720, as they are standard blu-ray resolutions.

First Time Burning DVD (vob) - Shrinking will generally cause some of those to disappear. That's normal. Each vob is a maximum of 1G. So if you are shrinking to fit a 6GB DVD onto a 4GB blank, then a couple vobs will have to go bye-bye....

On Quality and Quantity - Recently, events in my life have conspired to bring my schedule from incorporating gaming several times each week to running only one weekly game. This was a tough adjustment at first, but rather paradoxically I've found that gaming less has heightened my appreciation for and interest in my long-time hobby. I'd love to hear your reflections on this topic now that I'm sharing my own. read more...

Facebook, Blogs, and Illustrated Primers; Atypical Electronic Tools for GMs - I?ve sometimes had a challenging experience getting players to ?buy in? to a setting or campaign as deeply as I?d like them to. No amount of handouts, props, lighting, or otherwise could get them out of the gaming room and into the experience. Then I realized I could use their foul addictions against them. read more...

Reinventing the Wheel - It?s easy sometimes to get stuck in the rut of thinking you know what your players want; but what if they don?t even really know what they want anymore? When long time GMs run long term campaigns for the same group, it?s easy to lose sight of the fact that what really matters is the building blocks of good story telling. read more...

Giving In To, Then Defeating, Player's Expectations - My name is Joanna Winters; this is the first of a number of articles that will take my real-life experiences and tweak them for your tabletop sessions. Don't think, however, that I've led some illustrious career, some monumental history that sends me enduring the mounts of Everest. I don't work for Discovery or Natgeo: I merely find answers for what I and others find puzzling. Often times, these answers are far more mundane than their circumstanc...

Choose Your Own Adventure - The ability of players to affect events in a game is one of the crucial components that makes an RPG what it is.

I'll talk about why player choice is so important in RPGs and offer a few suggestions for how to uphold it in your games. read more...

Bad Impressions, Fourth Edition - On September 11, 2000, I posted on this site my first impressions of D&D 3rd Edition. Now, 8 years and change later, I thought I would post my impressions of D&D 4th Edition. These are not first impressions, however; these are based on my having played the game for several months now. They may very well incite a riot. Line forms on the right. read more...

Hunter: The Vigil - In my previous article here at Gamegrene, I talked about my experiences with Hunter: The Reckoning, particularly in light of the fact that my unconditional love for H:tR was not shared by the vast majority of gamers. Though the publication of material for Reckoning ceased a number of years ago along with the rest of the old World of Darkness, I (and other Hunter fans) are fortunate in that the Hunter concept was chosen to be revised and republis...
