CAPE TOWN (Bloomberg) -- Vanoil Energy is discussing with the Rwandan government the option of allowing other companies to help explore the country's East Kivu Graben Basin as they seek to end a dispute over exploration rights.
"It is possible that a settlement or an agreement between the parties might allow other companies to come in, but we'll have to wait and see where we get at with the agreement," CEO Sam Malin said in an interview from Cape Town, South Africa.
The Canadian oil and gas explorer said in September it had the sole rights for a production-sharing contract in the northwest block after signing a technical evaluation agreement and spending $3 million on exploration. The company said then it would seek a conciliation session with the East African government after talks for the concession broke down in June.
"We've moved on from that," Malin said. "Vanoil and the government are in discussions on an appropriate solution, settlement if you like, that's fair to both parties without going through costs, et cetera, that everybody would incur if we were to go down the arbitration route."
Investment in East Africa's oil and gas industry has surged since the 2006 discovery of oil in Uganda, while Kenya found its first crude deposit last year and Tanzania and Mozambique hold large natural gas reserves off their coast.
Kivu Basin
Rwanda's Minister of State for Mining Evode Imena said this month the government was in late-stage discussions to secure "the best oil exploration companies that can handle the work" in the Kivu basin and that the next step was to conduct a three-dimensional seismic survey.
"We are far from getting the picture of the amount of oil deposits that lie in Kivu basin," Imena said. "The 3D seismic will give the full picture on the amount of deposits."
Elsewhere in Africa, Vanoil also has exploration rights to two inland blocks and a 10 % working interest in offshore acreage in Kenya. It holds a 25 % participating stake in two offshore areas of Seychelles, along with partner Afren, according to the company's website.

Hi friends –
Thank you so much for all your kind words on my post last week! I am so blessed to be a part of this amazing community, and so thankful for each of you that stop by to read, or listen to the podcast, on a regular basis.
The winner of the book giveaways is :

Featuring Jennifer – A Blogger's Quilt Festival Quilter!
It's been a while since I've done a featured quilter, and I decided to get back to it with Jennifer! Jennifer blogs at Archipelago Quilting, and she loves paper-piecing. Her work is beautiful, and I hope you enjoy getting to know Jennifer!
1. When did you begin quilting?
I started quilting about 18 years ago. A friend of mine was going to have a baby and I wanted to make a quilt for her new daughter. I based it on the cover of the book On the Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier. Another friend of mine, Anne, had recently retired and was so wonderful and supportive… she gave me a few tips, several ideas and confidence.
2. Why do you quilt?
For me quilting is a great way of releasing stress–when there is nothing/little in my life I can control, I always can … Read More »

Tone It Down – Quilt Top
I was looking through my blog over the weekend, and realized that I never shared my finished quilt top for the #apqquiltalong project! I had a few little deadlines pop up on me and I folded up the top before I got it posted here – sorry! My quilt measures 75″ x 93″ – which is a great size, and it would be simple to add or subtract blocks to make it the size you would like to snuggle with!
Making this quilt has been a journey! I will mention that using an accurate 1/4″ seam allowance makes all the difference in these blocks, with so many seams, it would be easy to have problems.
Thankfully, my quilt top lays flat! It's not a difficult quilt to make, I suggest anyone that wants to make one to go … Read More »

Charm Pack Cherry – from Fat Quarter Shop
Hi there! I'm excited to be part of the release of Fat Quarter Shop's newest FREE pattern – Charm Pack Cherry! It's a fun, quick pattern for all those charm packs, we all seem to collect. I pieced my sample in just an hour or so – it's that quick!
I started with Surrounded by Love charms, and solid charms followed the simple diagrams, and had fun stitching up this cute quilt! It's a first for me – I'd not made a valentine's quilt before. I machine quilted it with some double loops, swirls, and a few experimental feathers; I'm still having fun trying new things out on the long-arm!
There were a few extra charms after piecing the top, so I worked them into a corner of the back, that I plan to use as … Read More »

Al Horford led the way with 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Gators completed the Football/Basketball sweep over Ohio State.
Taurean Green and Corey Brewer both scored 11 in the first half as the Gators took a 40-29 lead. In the second half, Lee Humphrey heated up, scoring three three pointers in the half. Humphrey finished with 14.
Greg Oden, played much better than he did in Gainesville, scoring 25 points, but the team defense of the Gators did enough to keep the big man at bay. Â

I don't know what part of the continuum we're on at this moment, but it isn't a good one. Right now, as I type, the plumber is snaking the drain because the water is backing up into the tub and the toilet. Yes, again. At 10 p.m.
Here's a video of the tub:
And here's where the water pours out of the drain pipe, when in fact it should be draining out the other direction. You know. DOWNHILL.

Kincaid Furniture Opinions
dorry2May 28, 2010
I am looking to purchase bedroom furniture for a guest house. I do not need Henkel Harris or a high-end mfr., but I don't want to compromise quality and longevity. Any opinions on Kincaid, Carriage House, 18th Century pieces? I am specifically interested in the Rice Carved, four-poster bed and the 32" wide chests/nighstands. I have seen these pieces in a local furniture store and they are quite nice and have some nice detailing. Thanks to all!

This seemingly leftist "argument" seems to promote the obvious progressive way, but might I suggest that having gun control policies restrict the 2nd amendment right. By having this right, people (like these farmers getting shot for their land) are to be better equipped from these cartels. These problems are manifested in Mexico and plague the southern Border States, unfortunately, so why not have the people keep their guns and defend themselves. This will in turn promote less self-consciousness about how defensive one is and more self-reliance.
On a lighter note, smoking marijuana is not as harmful as drinking alcohol. Look up the studies. Concerning the amount of tariff to be gained and crime rate to decrease, the US government should put it on the market, but with certain restrictions. This is not to say that it still will be sold on the street, but so are guns and other restricted items. The benefits for this to be passed will out-weigh the cost.
Time to legalise the drugs.
Under Sharia law those selling and using narcotics and fomenting violence would be publicly executed.
Make mine Sharia.
Kudos to you sirs on taking a direct stand on the support of the decriminalization of what is profoundly a social problem. With the positive intelligent support of media outlets, this cause can actually stand a chance of succeeding.
As to the other comments(@TJefferson, Slow Rolling, LordK) about the gun trade impacting the increase of cross border violence: How can the increased availability of military grade weapons and hardware equal more efficient killing? What sense could that make that the illegal trade in drugs is also tantamount to an increase like Gun running, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. Sloppy writing? Not in the least.
"...Mexican authorities have seized 55,000 of these weapons of war. That is enough to equip many NATO armies..."
This comment is typical of the lack of intellectual rigor that The Economist displays whenever guns are mentioned. The statement might apply to the Luxembourg army, but to nobody else in NATO.
Lots of Englishmen have an irrational fear of guns that dates since before the Second World War. When the Germans were knocking on your doors in 1940, Churchill made anguished appeals for Americans to donate their privately owned guns to arm your soldiers (they had left most of their weapons in France).
After the war, lessons learned were quickly forgotten and those presents from the American people were destroyed.
Remember Santayana's comment about those who fail to learn from history.
Drug users share complicity for the drug war raging in Mexico. Blood is on that joint you are sticking in your mouth and the cocaine you suck into your body. You will pay for your participation in the murders connected to that war.
Drug smugglers and gun runners should be shot.
Not quite the typical "sweep the dirt under the rug" article because it clearly states that the gangs must be defeated. But why would it be any easier to do so with marijuana legalized is beyond any sense.
Drugs, whether cocaine or marijuana are simply not compatible with the
idea of an accountable responsible citizen with obligations, but also rights. Instead of legalizing any drugs, one could set up an area where those who wish to do drugs can live and die in whatever way they wish, without bothering the rest of the population. Outside that area
no drugs allowed. Problem solved.
Perhaps Mexico needs to patrol its borders better to keep out those guns.
To T Jefferson,
It is unknown to me if you have actually studied the politics and socio-economics of Mexico or any other subject but you are mistaken to call Mexico a failed state. The article may not be state of the art, yet it does mention a couple of truths; your failure to see it highlights either your lack of knowledge or your sentiment of shame and denial to accept that some of U.S. law has direct negative consequences on the war against drug traffic in Mexico and other Latin American states. Not to mention all the parasite drug addicts in the U.S. that take drugs on a daily basis as if it was candy, which contributes to drug traffic.
If you are going to come up with the same old argument that many Americans come up with("we have the right to buy weapons so we can defend out homes"), you should actually be ashamed to live in a country in which people FEEL THE NEED to have weapons, for it means that such country is not as safe as it is portrayed to be.
Without the guns sold in the U.S.A, the war on drugs fought by Mexico would have been already won. The easy access to assault weapons in the U.S is an absurd posture for its government, the consequence of such posture is the abnormal gun crime rate in such nation (columbine et al) and the continuum of a fight which should have waned long time ago in Mexico.
Is in the best interests of both nations, to drive this fight to a clear victory. The window of opportunity is clear...
What about the distribution and sale of the smuggled drugs in USA?. These activities are the most lucrative. I do not believe the Mexican cartels work alone. Who works with them and keeps the lion's part?
many of the comments in this space only show the ignorance they have on international affairs, the problem is that weapons are sold, legally or not, but these weapons reach the hands of the cartels, ie the fight against drugs should be a concern of the American government because the money and weapons come from America, Mexico puts the dead
There are two quotes in the article that made be go "huh???". The first is the following:
"Mexico would be even better served if the United States renewed a ban on the sale of assault weapons that lapsed in 2004. Sadly, this looks unlikely to happen. Yet since 2006 alone, Mexican authorities have seized 55,000 of these weapons of war. That is enough to equip many NATO armies—and most were bought legally in American gunshops."
First, it is already illegal under the Gun Control Act to export or import a firearm, unless you are a federally licensed dealer, and it is also illegal to sell to a non-citizen. Apparently criminals are (surprise, surprise) ignoring those laws. However, I suppose the Economist has decided that criminals will be unable to circumvent an outright ban. After all, when we outlawed alcohol, criminals were unable to get their hands on any liquor…. wait…. that isn't right, is it?
"If California votes in favour of legalisation, Mexico would be wise to follow suit (the bottom would anyway fall out of its marijuana business). The drug gangs would still be left with more lucrative cocaine and methamphetamines. But it would become easier to defeat them."
HUH??? How can eliminating one portion of the drug trade somehow make drug gangs easier to defeat? Is the Economist somehow assuming that drug gangs are not willing to fight as hard over cocaine and meth? Or perhaps the Economist is assuming that drug-cartels will simply suffer the loss of income quietly, and not jack up the price of cocaine and meth? Or perhaps the Economist is assuming that drug-cartels will not simply branch out into other substances like heroin?
The traditional send-the-army approach seems to be a recursive solution for Americans.
United States has the biggest military budget in the world. However, it didn't win in Iraq and Afghanistan(a stalemate is more appropriate) and the country in on verge of economical collapse (I'm not totally convinced that W recession risks are over).
We need to use more brain, less muscles to solve problems. And get educated in world affairs.
Our teenagers (or clients) foster the drug market. We are part of the solution and part of the problem. If there was no Mexico, other suppliers would step forward. Probably inside US.
Brain, not muscle.
To the author: would you be able to cite research and concrete data that would back up your suggestion that gun laws in the US could have a greater effect than the Merida Initiative in Mexico.
thank you
well any reasonable person can see that war on drugs failed and that there is a huge interest in drug enforcement to continue that war. The politicians play with of course as it is always good to be seen as hard on crime. I suppose as long as US have enough money to continue this nonsense there will be no progress.
I think is valid for US citizens to defend their right to possess guns.
But, what makes them believe Mexican citizens would want to have the same legal right 'to defend themselves against armed drug gangs'? Mexicans do not want to have to defend themselves. Indeed, they dont want to have to deal with a problem that originates north of the border.
The issue is not the guns themselves. Who cares whether these are semi-automatic, AK45 or where they originally come from. Just like drugs, as long as there is demand, there will always be someone ready to supply. The only truth is that wherever they come from, they are financed by the drug trafficking money, which in turn comes mainly from the US drug consumers.
What seems to me the most hypocritical here is that Americans can be so insistent in defending the right of their citizens to possess guns, whilst at the same time insist in denying the same citizens the right get get high on coke, weed or anything they please...
Mexico will fight hard and, who knows, maybe some day will get things right and will get rid of the drug cartels. However, until the root problem is solved (i.e. demand for illegal drugs), only the country of supply and where the guns are sent to, will change...
It is sad that a consistanly good magazine can publish such bunk as this article. Reseach is your forte perhaps your editor needs a refresher class. It has been consistanty proven by multiple studies (some quoted below) that the arms the cartel are using do not come from the US, cannot be bought legally in the US and are not sold legally by any company in the US except to Govenments. I know its hard for gun haters to take but LEGAL guns in the hands of citizens DOES REDUCE Crime and increase everyones safety. Do your resarch.
in the netherlands, where marihuana and hash are semi-legal, selling marihuana and hash is still largely the domain of criminal organizations, why do you think it would be different in the usa?
As a Texan I speak for many of my fellow citizens when I say that we would be willing to see a significantly more "militarized" US response to the this problem long before we are willing to begin to entertain further restrictions on our weapons rights. And we do consider a right to own weapons without government oversight, in the same league as the right to say what we please or travel where we want.
The more violent drug crime "spills over the boarder" the more "dug in" and insistent we will be on not seeing further weapons restriction. Indeed, the more insistent we will become on having weapons, more and better, with us more often, and less restricted on the conditions of their use. We see the role of the government, ours and theirs, as taking care of the thugs so that "we the people" don't have to. We insist on not finding ourselves in a position where the government fails and we are disarmed and unable to take up the slack.
Were the US to devote have the men and materiel to secure our Southern border as we devote to the quixotic attempt to bring liberty to those who don't want it, we could solve this problem in a month.

Can anyone ID this one for me?
I've had this one for quite awhile now and I have no idea what it is. I noticed this morning that it's growing something, I'm assuming a flower??? I would love to know what the name of this plant is.
Thanks so much! (Sorry for the massive pic)
Hi & congrats to you! Sure is a flower spike, hard to tell what kind of Gasteria from the close-up (I know you were focusing on the spike), armonstrongii sounds like a good start.
While many folks consider Gasteria & Haworthia (a close relative) flowers unremarkable, I was still thrilled when I bloomed my first Haworthia (none of my Gasterias have bloomed yet). If you haven't found a pic in bloom, it'll be a long, wiry flower stem w/ small individual flowers opening up close to the top, probably green & white blooms w/ coral pink bellies. I think they look kind of charming actually!
Importantly, it is proof positive you have done right by the plant & it's happy & healthy! Congrats & enjoy!
Thanks Pirate Girl! Would ya believe that I've been keeping him under a fluorescent light? I have 2 Haworthias too that have flowered for me, and although they aren't that showy, they let ya know they're happy! Awesome. I'm excited, I hope he continues to do well for me. Thanks again guys!

Anyone make candy???
Does anyone make candy, such as chocolate covered pretzels,taffies, for the holidays,showers, graduations, etc. and if so do you sell them? I'm thinking of doing this for extra income plus I want to do something diferent (getting tired of office work)
I did this several years ago, loved doing it, but didn't have any success at selling them at craft fairs. Had great success selling to co-workers, family, etc. I'm just curious as to what you sell and where you sell.I'm not looking to take anyones ideas I'm just curious as to what other people do. Also, has anyone ever had any success with advertising on their own website? That's something I'm also thinking of doing. Thanks!!!
Hi Deedee, I don't sell it, but after reading your post yesterday, I did pay particular attention to the candy booth while I was at a craft show.
She had really cute packaging and was giving out samples. For example the chocolate coated pretzels were two to a package and were in cellophane bags with little pumpkins on them. She had a couple kinds of fudge, taffy, chocolate bark, etc. Everything was packaged nice enough that it could be given to someone as a gift.
Hope this helps a little bit. Maybe others will have more input for you. Best of luck.
Hi deedee, I just wanted to say if you show buyers how the candy can be used, say tied to the ribbon on a package or gift basket, it will help your sales. The reality is that many buyers can't imagine how they would use the candy as a gift other than just handing it to the recipient. Marketing, marketing, marketing : )
Good luck!
No, I don't mind. It is called Crafts Unlimited and was in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. They usually have a couple shows in this area each year and they do shows in at least one other town in this area too I think. I've been going to their shows for years. Always very nicely done, and held in various places, depending on what buildings are available. This year in was in a huge room at a Winery. Luvs

How Are Education Cuts Affecting Other Districts?
POSTED: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 7:28pm
UPDATED: Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 9:06am
EL PASO - EPISD isn't the only district hurting right now. Socorro ISD's deficit looks like about $22 million and Ysleta ISD needs to trim about $7 million.
"We are not, at present, considering any reduction in force," said Xavier de la Torre, the superintendent of Socorro ISD. He says while no one will get a pink slip yet, they still have to find millions to cut.
"The board could, if they chose, increase that tax rate by almost 5 cents without voter approval," he said.
That tax increase would generate about $14 million.
"We could adjust some class sizes and class size ratios at our secondary schools."
One of the ways Socorro budget cuts will benefit is if you're a teacher and your computer breaks down, rather than having one on site who can fix it right away, you're going to have call headquarters, so they can send a technician out.
While YISD still has cuts to make, theirs might not be so deep - about $4 to $7 million. They've already saved some money through attrition turning the air off at night and training teachers in the summer instead of the middle of the school year. Another reason they're in a good spot?
"Probably because of our tax rate and of course we had a rollback election," said YISD superintendent Michael Zolkoski That election raised the property tax rate by 17 cents, generating an extra $36 million.
Still, dozens of positions go unfilled and overtime is rarely approved.
"Everyone's going to be hit, all the school districts in Texas will be hit," he said.

Psalm 23
A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Note: Today's Gospel reading is Matthew 17:1-13. Find a Bible translation.

Hibiscus braid identification
Greetings. I recently purchased this Hibiscus braid locally, but unfortunately it didn't list the variety & I'm just not sure if I should keep it in a pot & bring it indoors for the winter, or whether I can plant it in the ground for it to come back the following spring. Some online sources seem to suggest that this is a hardy variety (opposed to the tropical) as it has heart-shaped leaves. However, other hardy Hibiscus plants & shrubs which I see growing locally, either have extremely large flowers or have a different color flower. I also understand that there are hundreds of varieties & many hybrids, so identification might be difficult. in any case, I'm grateful for any help you can offer. Thanks.
certainly looks tropical too me. i can't tell from the photo how red that flower is looks kinda pinkish to me. But Ed's right - that is not going to be a happy camper in cold weather. mine have to stay outside in winter and they basically stop growing as it gets colder. but i don't have freezing temps either. Any colder and i would have to greenhouse them.

A man organizes a "marriage-a-thon" cruise, with special prizes to be given to the couple found to be the most compatible. At the same time, he tries to save his own crumbling marriage. Doc tricks Gopher into taking his place as one of the judges, but comes to regret it when the two attractive female judges constantly try to make time with Gopher.

A groom decides to dump his fiancée, but skips the cruise and leaves his best man to break the news to the bride. The best man is Marv, the young man who befriended Julie when he was best man for another wedding on the Alaska cruise.

The top 3 winners of the City of Romney's drain sign design contest for the 5th grade class at Romney Elementary were chosen this week! The 1st place winner is Kaitlyn Hartman, 2nd place Madison Mathias, and 3rd place is Austin Taylor. These three students will see their designs on storm drains throughout Romney by spring! The purpose of this project, funded through a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Program, is to help keep the South Branch River clean, by encouraging people to be mindful that what goes into storm drains goes straight into the South Branch River, and ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. The drain labels will be adhered to the concrete next to all of the highly visible storm drains on main streets where people will see them. The five judges who determined the winners were Romney Mayor Dan Hileman, Romney City Council Members Dennis Morris and Jamey Rinker, the Potomac Valley Conservation District's Hampshire County Supervisor John Hicks, along with Senator Shelley Moore Capito's representative, Chris Strovel.

Parks Associates research shows only 7% of U.S. broadband households own a smart energy product, with consumers ages 25-34 leading the charge—10% of consumers in this age bracket have adopted at least one smart energy device. In order to engage this new segment of young, digitally engaged consumers, utilities will need to reach out on the channels these consumers use most—mobile and - ...read more

In my opinion Hecklinksi was one of the better parts of coach Hoke's staff. He helped Gallon post the best season (by yardage) of any Michigan receiver ever as his position coach for 3 years, and he did a Heck of a job as recruiting coordinator as well.
It's easy for people to get that there's more to a job than whether it's division I, II, or III. It's unfortunate that so many people can only see the $$ and the prestige. You also have to take into account the culture, the location, what the move means for the coach's family, etc etc. I expect that coach Heck will do very well at CSU - Pueblo.

picture this, DetroitBlue -- Devin Gardner recceives the snap and takes a deep drop... 3, 5 ,7 steps back into Michigan's veritable fortress of a pocket. Michigan's vaunted offensive line, led by all-star players like undersized Jack Miller and walk-on Graham Glasgow and true freshman Mason Cole, redirects the pass rush away from Gardner with ease. Gardner, calm and collected, icewater coursing through his veins, steps into a bullet which he lets fly downfield to leaping super-athlete Devin Funchess who despite his ankle injury sustained in week 2 easily beats his one-on-one coverage and despite his problems catchingt he football easily snags the ball for a TD! The band plays 'The Victors'
Now, can anybody tell me what's wrong with that picture?

|I agree with that
I agree with that wholeheartedly -- my dad raised me to always root for Ohio State on every Saturday except one in November. I don't want to beat a down and out Ohio State team, I want the two teams to be ranked #1 and #2 in the country going into The Game, every single year. I want The Game to regain its rightful place, not just as the best rivalry in college football but as the best rivalry in all of sports, ever.
To me, when I see people like WD saying "fuck you" to people who were rooting for OSU against Oregon, that signifies just how far we've fallen, how down and out we've become. That's not rivalry, it's jealousy. It's 'little brother' mentality and I want none of it and I hope that our fanbase rises above that in the coming years.
Ohio State were reigning national champions when Bo took over in 1969, and he was able to recruit against them just fine -- they'll get theirs and we'll get ours. Now instead of Bo & Woody it's Urban & Jimmy, and I can't wait.
Bring it on.

We're trying to build a php based video sharing site that allows users to upload their own content.
We need to convert all these videos into a medium-quality mp4 video file for eventual streaming through FlowPlayer.
Our code is something like this (example for flv):
system("ffmpeg -i $vidPath -pass 1 -ab 64k -ar 44100 -ac 1 -vcodec flv -b 1500k -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 $flvPath");
The problem is that this converts any type of 1 minute video into a 10 MB file. If its a high quality 1 minute video, that gets converted to a 10 MB file - which is great. However, if its a low-quality video, say of just 2 MB, it will still get converted to a 10 MB file!!
What strategy / method should I adopt so that uploaded videos are "upper bound" in size, but lower quality videos of the same length dont get "inflated" to the same size!

Bridesmaid dresses that don't match
For decades, bridal parties have looked like they stepped out of a '60s girls' group -- matching dresses, matching shoes, even matching headpieces, jewelry and gloves. At last, that bridal fever is subsiding. A more modern approach: forgoing the matchy, one-dress-doesn't-fit-all look in favor of subtly coordinated but different frocks that complement each attendant's figure and style. Think the Kardashians, not The Supremes.

Capturing DVD images for printing
A friend of mine wants to print some images from a VCR tape (home movies). I can get it to DVD, but from there I'm not sure what to do. I tried some trial software to convert the DVD to mpeg and then captured an image from the mpeg, but the conversion "squashed" the image - it looked like it converted the video from 4:3 to 16:9.
I know this is more of a software question, but does anyone have any suggestions from here? I have the DVD and I know it can't be rocket science to capture a few still images (jpeg format) from it.
Look for freeware or shareware online that will do a screen capture. For the Mac there is one called "Capture Me" where you just draw a box around whatever you want to capture and then click "save," and you can then pick any one of several formats you want to save it in. I'm sure there are numerous similar utilities for Windows.
FYI, there may be copyright issues with capturing stills from DVDs, so don't do that and then post them online or do anything else which would expose you to being accused of copyright infringement.
Use Smartripper (or some other DVD extraction software) to extract the .VOB files from your DVD.
Use DVD2AVI to open the .VOB files and save them as a project (a .d2v file).
Then use TMPGenc to open the .d2v file as the video file to convert to an mpeg, and then go to "other settings", select the Advanced tab, then make sure that Video Arrange Method is set to "full screen (keep aspect ratio)", then click next a few time and start the conversion.
The Video Arrange Method needs to be set that way so it'll keep the proper aspect ratio. If for some reason it still isn't doing the right thing you can try the other settings.
Smartripper, DVD2AVI, and TMPGenc are all freeware that can be found by doing a Google search for them.
Brian, thanks for the detailed info - that's exactly what I need!
Pilam99 - for some reason ctrl-print-screen has never worked on any computers I've ever owned for the past 15 years. I actually tried it again before posting for help but it behaved as expected - nothing!
Print Screen doesn't work in programs that use video overlay.
Only video program I have ever been able to use Print Screen
with is Virtual Dub.
If you have an avi file you can open it with virtual dub
and export a frame to clipboard. Or print screen it.
I'd like to know if there is a pc version of Capture Me.
Pooh Bear
Funny, it works on ALL of the computers I've tried and we use it frequently at work on ~500 workstations with various hardware/software. I guess I took it for granted. If overlay is the issue, try downloading Zoomplayer and running it in WMR9 Renderless. That's what I have running at home and I get captures from DVD fine with CTRL-PS.
I am looking to capture stills from a DVD. (VOB files)
You say Smartripper is the tool to use, but I can't find a download anywhere because of the new laws. I'm not gonna distribute these screenshots.
Can anyone share their Smartripper.exe with me?
