Dear followers, I have moved to Mastodon. You can find my profile at:

Please join me on Mastodon because Twitter is no longer a safe nor reliable forum.

Goodbye and thank you.

@mpesce I’ve been on Mastadon for a few days now and I went through the gnashing of teeth. I finally joined the server @donmelton was on and from there it was pretty simple. I just started following people who were pretty active and now I have a reasonable feed. Not great, but workable.

@throost Simply set the specific output track width to `stereo` using the `--main-audio` or `--add-audio` options. The `--help` option will explain the specifics.

@UncannyGreeting @pdumontel @verso I am definitely digging "The Peripheral" right now (although I still haven't finished the latest episode. And I'm certainly up for that if Kelly is!

[Don Melton @donmelton]

@ohunt @chrismarrin Send me a direct message and I'll send you an invite link to my Mastodon server.

[Don Melton @donmelton]

I created a Mastodon account yesterday to explore whether it's a viable alternative to whatever Twitter is becoming. So far Mastodon seems quite pleasant. You can find my profile here: https://t.co/tssbAjgqvG

Feel free to follow me there or just drop by to say, "Hi."

[Don Melton @donmelton]

@chrismarrin Just go to the server suggestions page and, I dunno, pick one! Jesus, it's not that big of a deal since all the servers are federated. If you still can't decide, then pick the server I'm using: https://t.co/M33Ne0ajQg

@CraigClavin Well, the best practice is to combine the two original rips into a single file and then transcode that at as one movie. That's what I do for LOTR Extended.

[Don Melton @donmelton]

I just released version 0.12.0 of my `other_video_transcoding` Gem to fix a serious audio bug caused by a recent change in `ffmpeg`. Please update! See: https://t.co/yjbAPmanG2

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

One last loop around the bend... @verso and @donmelton react to the finale of #Westworld as best they can after All Of That: https://t.co/QZjQpAFpnX

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

We're back! A bit later than usual after some unscheduled shenanigans on several fronts. Join @verso and @donmelton for the #Westworld Analysis episode. Caution: May Include Giggling. https://t.co/mWgZXbVt9F

[Don Melton @donmelton]

@jcasler @verso I'm pretty sure that GoT sequel and Westworld are safe from the accountants but, hey, you never know.

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

Your "hosts" @verso and @donmelton bring themselves back online to react to the latest episode of #Westworld ! Kelly considers some alternate viewing options and Don realizes how much work he has to do on the wall of cards and string: https://t.co/mUwHOXCryx

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

ICYMI: Analysis show is live, and you can find out what @verso thinks is a good (and also a bad) motivation for a villain, and @donmelton shows off his new organizational system for theories: https://t.co/gympB5u6eq

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

You know when you assume, you make a host out of you and me... @donmelton and @verso are FULL of reactions to the latest episode of #Westworld, and consider what have come to be the show's inalienable truths... https://t.co/nDc6T0gunS

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

We're back, and minor catastrophes aside, @verso and @donmelton step into analysis for Episode Five of #Westworld and do their best to explain their individual walls of cards and string: https://t.co/NHCqtulCcv

[Don Melton @donmelton]

@aahonen @UncannyGreeting @verso AFAIK, Teddy was uploaded to the Sublime at the end of season 2. What happens to that ball after? Is it erased? Dunno. Since all hosts are built from Dolores' original code, is it possible Teddy could have been rebuilt from that? Good question. 🤔🙂

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

Boy howdy is there a reaction! After a brief moment to recover from Episode Five, @verso and @donmelton react for your enjoyment, including Kelly's new favorite nail polish: https://t.co/elVN40Ky9F

[Greetings from the Uncanny Valley @UncannyGreeting]

A smidge behind schedule this week, but @verso and @donmelton do their best to avoid the #Flyrus so they can step into analysis for #Westworld S4E4 and ponder the halfway point: https://t.co/0CgwE6SbIz

[Don Melton @donmelton]

@ravedog There's no need to invoke a switch other than `--hevc`.

[Don Melton @donmelton]

I just released version 0.11.0 of my `other_video_transcoding` Gem, with support for copying 10-bit high-dynamic-range (HDR10) metadata. See: https://t.co/UZKKtpSX30
