Thanks for the input on Shutter ramble!

I’ve been working on and off with it for a while now and Love it except for a couple of things I’m trying to wrap my head around.

I’m trying to understand how to Rip DVD & BluRay with it and how to Burn In “Soft Subs” in an MKV container.

Also, I’m trying to figure out if I want to re-do my library with H.265, H.266 or AV1 in either VBR, CBR or CQ. So many options, it’s insane cool!

Hey Thanks for the response! I think I figured out some of the resolution stuff but I can’t seem to get a VGA resolution (640x480). I set Force Display to 4:3 but the resolution doesn’t show up.

Yeah, I saw the add subs but I can’t seem to get it handle subs already in the vid file like ASS subs I want to Hardcode into the video.

I’m gonna keep working with it though as it seems to do most everything else I want. Pretty amazing software!

Shutter is a really nice front-end for ffmpeg but can you put in custom resolutions or do you have to work with what they have? Also, how do you set it to pick up soft subs and hard code them into the video? Also, it’s so nice to find a piece of software that will FINALLY use my GPU! :)

You know, I thought Movavi might have been it but then I run into the problem I seem to with all the others. For some reason, it states AMD GPU Acceleration is on but when I start converting, all my CPU cores go to 100%+ and the GPU sits barely working. It’s baffling! Urg!

As a follow-up, I’ve downloaded the 64-bit exe from Github and actually installed tartube and that seems to be Ok for the time being. I’m running a complete Security sweep right now to see if it catches anything. We’ll see.

Sorry, it’s already gone. I deleted it from quarantine.

Thank you for the info! I’ve already enabled the Kill switch and I’m finding out from ExpressVPN what to put in the Network Interface inside Qbit. Also, why not The Pirate Bay out of curiosity?

Isn’t a VPN enough to protect me when using public trackers? I’m sorry it’s been a long time since I’ve done this.

Thank you so much! This is exactly the information I needed to know. You’ve been a great help to know how to safely move forward with my downloading. At this point, I’ve only visited the sites and watched a few things. No harm there but I will definitely get a VPN up and running again. Now I can “Sail The 7 Seas” with peace of mind. Best to you! 😊

Thanks for the detailed response! So, does a VPN do anything to protect you in relation to IDM Direct Downloading/Clip Grabbing Pirate streams or is it just a good idea to have one for anonymity? I’m trying to justify the cost.
