Easy RealMedia Producer v1.94

I've been using Easy RealMedia Producer for a few years. It is a handy programme that can be used to generate RM/RMVB files from other file types (preferabble AVI). It can also generate MKV files. ERMP has a very easy-to-use interface, so it is perfect for me to encode. The files encoded will have almost the same quality as the original file, depends on what settings you choose. Since someone don't know how to use, so I have to put up these stuffs. Hope it helps.

First Google ERMP v1.94. It can be found easily. If you are that idiotic and you can't find it, try this link.

After finishing the installation, launch ERMP v1.94. Click on the settings button, and it should be like this:


Select RealVideo 10 for the Video code. For a better quality of audio sound, I chose 128 Kbps Stereo Music - RealAudio 10. Check the Loss Protection check-box.


Check Use VBR. I left the Max Bitrate as 900Kbps, but you can make it 1000Kbps if you want to. Leave the AvgBitrate as 450Kbps. You can do some calculations for the size of your encoded file by clicking the Calculator button.


At the Clip info tab, check Same As FileName if you want the file name to be the same or just type in your desired file name for the file you want to encode. You can write your name in the Author tab or just leave it blank. For example, I typed my name in the Author tab and filled the CopyRight and Keywords.


For the Output tab, check Same as Input Path or Specify a File Name if you want the end product to be in another file. Lastly, click SaveAsDef, then you don't have to reconfigure the next time you use ERMP.


Then, drop any file you want to encode into the blank space. Click the Start button for it to start encoding. If you want your computer to shut down after encoding, just check the Shutdown PC check-box. The encoding will take about half an hour for a normal episode of anime, so take your time and enjoy!!

**By the way, I only have K-Lite Mega Codec pack installed in my computer. You can use CCCP Codec Pack instead of K-Lite, but you will need to install Real Player or Real Alternative (Real Alternative is included in K-Lite). I don't like Real Player though, it sucks big time (Not the .rmvb files, only the player xD).

*Friendly reminder: Easy RealMedia Producer v1.94 does not work on Windows 7. Try Format Factory.*

Internet Explorer 8 BETA 2

I just found out that Micrsoft had already realeased Internet Explorer 8 BETA 2 in August, so I went to download it yesterday. I know it is a BETA version, but at least it is the second BETA, where most of the common bugs are fixed compared to the first BETA version. Well, after installing and rebooting, I quickly try my hands on the new IE.

The design is more or less the same as IE7, but it has an extra row of commands. There are also few more added functions, such as translating a sentence with Windows Live. Another function, the Compatibility View function, located at the left side of the Refresh button, enable us to view websites designed for older generation of web browsers.


Another thing that I like the most is the InPrivate function. Just press Control + Shift + P, and a new page will be launched with the InPrivate icon beside the Smart Address Bar (that is what they call it for IE8), or you can click Safety > InPrivate Browsing at the top right corner of the browser. What does this InPrivate thing do? This function enable you to view pages without saving cookies, temporary Internet files, history and other datas. This helps prevent the websites you previously visit to automatically share info with other sites, so that web surfing is safer.


The only thing that I'm not satisfied is that it creates another task in task manager, slowing down your computer. Suppose you launch an IE and open a tab (Control + T), the process in task manager should only show one iexplorer.exe (as in IE7), but for IE8, it shows 2 iexplorer.exe, eating up more than 100M of memory if there are two tabs (shown in image below). Maybe this is what Microsoft forgot when they are developing IE8. I hope that this problem will be fixed when the real IE8 is released.


If you feel like it, you can try download it and try it out yourself. As for me, I'm quite satisfied with it. I don't think it will validate your Windows since it did not validate mine xD. For more info, get it from:
Download Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 without WGA Validation

**P/s: It seems like I found an error. When I copy an address and paste it in the Smart Address Bar, IE8 crashes. I don't know about it, but is anyone encountering the same problem?

I have been slacking off since AS ended. I'm too lazy to even click on the link for blogger, needless to say, my homework. The torturing of Moral Studies is making me going crazy. Holy crap, there is still 2 more weeks of study and 3 hours of stupid Moral for 2 weeks!! What the hell is the office thinking? Got an assignment for Moral Studies. Man, this sucks.

To make things worse, Le Shitspitter @ Titanium Sabertripletooth Tiger reminded me that he had tagged me to write about my facts. Well, since I'm lazy to do my homework, I'll just answer his questions:

- For the 9 months staying here, I used 1 Head & Shoulders Shampoo(nothing left, have to buy a new one), 3 soaps (2 flushed into the toilet accidentally), 2 bottle of face wash, 2 toothbrush and 90% of 1 toothpaste. To tell u the truth, I get some of Turtle's body shampoo and hair shampoo when I forgot to buy a soap/shampoo xD.

- Hm... My studies are still same like last year, no change. I seriously have to change a motherboard and my processor with the tag "A2 and above Ready" tag.

- I'm getting fatter and fatter, thanks to the supper I had at mamak stall and 7-11.

- I'm still not sure what am I gonna do. I have no confidence in my studies...

- Wanted to improve my guitar skills which still suck like hell.

- Someone called me the tower. How dare you call me "tower", S20?? I'll make Santa pay for what you did by spanking you!! You've been a bad little kid this year!!

- Lazy to learn anything new, except improving my skills. Come to think of it, I haven't even finish my driving lessons...

- I wanted to have a new lappy... And my stupid handphone keep pissing me off.

- Hooked to May'n's song in Macross Frontier.

Nothing more to write about me. Remind me if I missed up something. Got to go now, so that's all for today.
