HPR4185: Archiving VCR or any other RCA media

Hacker Public Radio ·

2024/08/16

Archiving VCR or any other RCA media After my Father passed away, I volunteered to archive his Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) collection to disk for the family. You might be aware that Europe used Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analog television. It was one of three major analogue colour television standards, the others being NTSC and SECAM. Ireland used PAL-I, a version based on CCIR System I, which meant that none of the VCR players in the Netherlands would work. So in

This segment is about image magic and the GK Relim system monitor andhighway web cameras.

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS, the most widely used Internet protocols.

TIL 1:Movement in the galaxy and mass extinctions Throughout the history of this planet there have been a number of mass extinctions. There are various theories about what has caused this. I came across one of these recently. The solar system doesn't orbit the galaxy in parallel with the orientation of the galactic plane. There is a difference in the two orientations in other words. Sometimes it's in the galactic plane, and at times it's "above" or "below". When in the plane the solar system is

In this tutorial I will guide you through the process of making this image. Check the comments of this episode later for information on where you can share your results. Since this is an audio tutorial, I recommend you consider using media player software that allows you to easily rewind, pause and skip around without issue. Something that allows you to use hotkeys to pause and rewind 10 seconds at a time would be ideal. Also, here are some important hotkeys that will be explained throughout

The Future of HPRIn episode hpr4109 "The future of HPR" Knightwise challenged us to look at HPR from the point of view of marketing to a business. His show was prompted by a post we put out entitled Happy new year - should we continue with HPR ?, wherein we asked you to vote on the future of HPR. The vote was a not so subtle redirect to our upload page. TL;D[R|L] This is likely to be a long show, so I'm adding the summary here. Key Takeaways More subscribers does not mean more contributors.

I have always disliked public speaking, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Although I have recorded HPR episodes in the past I have always been highly dissatisfied with the results - my delivery and the sound of my voice. Text-to-Speech software has improved dramatically in recent years and this provides a solution to my natural reticence to recording shows. In this episode I demonstrate the use of a simple online TTS application in the hope that it will encourage others to contribute a show who
