I think I will have to go with the Panasonic FR series - everything else seems too hard to source (all this choice is quite a stress!). Before I order, is there anything wrong with these specific selections? 1500uF Panasonic FR eeu-fr1a152l 1000uF Panasonic FR eeu-fr1a102l (10V ver of the one linked …

No worries - I'm happy to go with what you recommend - but I have to be able to source them on element14 (and I'd prefer to have a matched set).

Thanks for the research PCBONEZ Nichi HM seems to be out of stock/low stock at element14 for both 1500uF and 1000uF (in 8mm versions). An alternative given by element14 is the Panasonic FR series 1500uF , 1000uF . Would these be a good substitute? Also, how about the Rubycon ZLJ linked above? Are …

My Abit BF6 based p3 system is starting to hang on startup randomly so I'm guessing the caps need replacing. Would it be safe to assume the caps I need are the same as for the BE6? A kit is for the BE6 is listed here . So I'm guessing: 11 of these (1500uF) and 11 of these (1000uF) As I'm unsure …

Not necessarily - if the seller has some reputation then it's fine to send as a gift. Paypal really is a horrible ripoff though - even on the exchange rate they include an extra 4% margin.

I think with queststudios etc going down it's pretty clearly evident that forum postings are repositories of information. You can't save this content in a wiki as it is robbed of all context. There is also a bit of confusion going on with the need to use the search function but not digging up old …

Honestly I never did understand why necroing threads is so bad. Especially if there is valuable information in the original thread (perhaps not this one). Live and let live I say.

Did you download it from archive.org or somewhere else? Someone might have fixed it and offered it as part of a set to download. My file is 1.94 GB (2,083,579,908 bytes). Attached is a rar with screenshots of what I get when I go to codec information in VLC - there seems to be an abnormal amount of …

So just doing season 6 and this episode is proving problematic: https://archive.org/details/CC601_macworld The MPEG2 version doesn't render in Media Player Classic - although I hear it plays without audio in VLC The MP4 version (you can stream this) plays, but is out of sync. Any easy way to fix …

More filtering than upscaling i think. The resolution is quite adequate for me as is. Not an expert so will need to do some research.

MPEG2 versions are 1-2gb, mp4 about 120mb yeah Other things that could be done is work out some filtering/processing to get rid of some of the artifacts in these.

No problemo. BTW I think the mpeg4 versions are in the same locations (but are much smaller), just do a search and replace on the filenames changing ".mpeg" to "_edit.mp4". I'll probably sort something out regarding this when I am finished doing all seasons. Haven't tested this though (some eps …
