AI Thread Summary
For cutting out commercials from recorded TV programs and encoding videos with flexibility, Adobe Premiere 6.5 and Pro 1.5 are noted as high-quality but expensive options. For a cost-effective solution, VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod are recommended, with VirtualDub handling AVI files and VirtualDubMod supporting MPEG2 files. Both programs have community forums for user support. To encode videos in MP3 format, users can explore settings within these programs. The discussion also touches on encoding techniques, specifically the difference between "1-pass" and "2-pass" encoding in codecs like Xvid, where 1-pass is quicker but less optimized, while 2-pass provides better quality by analyzing the video first.

Ok what would be the best program that allows me to easily and accurately cut out commercials from recorded TV programs? Plus i want to be able to encode the videos rather freely (as opposed to only being given very generic codecs). Any suggestions?

Adobe Premiere 6.5 / Pro 1.5 is an expensive solution. For freeware, VirtualDub handles AVIs with no problem, and VirtualDubMod will handle MPEG2 files. They have forums for help with the software.
 
Ok i have a followup question. How can i do this so that the videos are encoded in MP3 as well? :)

And what's all this "1-pass" and "2-pass" thing in my codecs (like xvid)?
 

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 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
