AI Thread Summary
When converting ripped DVDs to formats compatible with various players, using WinAVI to convert .avi files to MPEG is common. However, issues may arise if the AVI files are encoded in DivX or Xvid, necessitating a transcoder for proper conversion. Instead of experimenting with different file types, acquiring DVD images may be a more efficient solution, though these files are typically larger, around 4GB. It's important to note that discussions around transcoding and file sharing can involve copyright infringement, and users are advised to seek information independently.

could u sugest the name of a transcoder
 
No, I can't give you details. What your doing is copyright infringement. You'll have to find that out for yourself.

google is your friend.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
