Wow. This worked GREAT! I'm pretty tech-illiterate. I know enough to get by, but I have downloaded numerous virus-ridden freeware in the past. I could tell from the simple interface and user comments that this one was legit. Thanks for making my life easier. Now to find an audio converter that won't crash my computer!
In this version is a problem with the structure of files and folders. So you can't see the properties of the source, batch file handling goes wrong and you'll have no help.
After unpacking you'll have a folder named Gui4ffmpeg, gui4ffmpeg.exe and ffmepg.exe in the main folder.
Open the folder Gui4ffmpeg and copy the whole content into the main folder.
Then the problems are solved.
With Windows XP SP3, I am only able to convert (using the related guide) one VOB file at a time (batch encoding does not work as described). Additionally, when a VOB file is loaded, no properties show in the related window as the program's description says it should, so I have to guess at which audio track to use when converting. I posted a similar comment under the gui4ffmpeg guide section, but thought this issue should be noted in the review of this program here as well as I am not the only one reporting this problem.
bruper, I noticed the same with the video quality with new ffmpeg versions. The bitrate with new ffmpeg version seam to now want a k at the end of the rate you use. You will want to use -b 2200k not -b 2200 on the command line.
excellent tool however with this new version video quality was horrible downloaded previous ffmpeg and ran the same batch file and things were normal. with new ffmpeg i asked for video bitrate of 2200 but got 300. I didn't notice till i went to burn my 2 movie dvd and it was only 1 gig. overall great tool though.
I echo the general applause of the previous comments. This tool has enabled me to create DVD's that play on most standalone players starting with 352x480 mpegs. I re-encode them to 720x480 to improve standalone player compatibility, even though supposedly the 352x480 is a DVD-compliant format. Then I author with DVDStyler.
I tried to use it to convert a .wmv file to mpeg2 but it crashed. However, I believe this was because the underlying program (ffmpeg) is not yet capable of handling the latest .wmv format (version 9), as stated in the ffmpeg documentation. Thus I do not fault gui4ffmpeg for this.
The program very conveniently gives you the ffmpeg command line for whatever conversion you set up. Thus you can create batch files that call ffmpeg directly for multiple files, which saves you the trouble of manually starting each conversion.
Brilliant software, been using it for few months now. When other encoders fail or cause problems (synch)etc always go back to this tool, quick easy and has never failed me, 10/10 to author
This is a phenomenal tool -- it's the only FREE tool I've found that will allow for perfect DVD-compliant MPEG-2 encoding/conversion. I use this to do my encoding prior to using Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 to create an iso image, and the encoding times are MUCH faster than what I was seeing using Media Creator 8 to do the encoding (like on the order of 1 hour or less to do 5 23-minute TV episodes, compared to 5 hours to do the encoding using Easy Media Creator 8). The quality of the encoded video seems just fine to me -- VERY good quality, in fact. This should be considered a MUST-HAVE for everyone's video editing toolbox.
Excellent straightforward converting program. This is the only program I can use for converting DVD to AVI without any problems (A/V sync), and to top it off it is blazing fast as well (around 40 FPS on my computer).
Could use a more user-friendly GUI however, more advanced encoding options need commandline entry and actual encoding bitrate is higher than what you specify it to be (just choose a lower bitrate than what you want).
I recently encountered some AVI files that gave me sound synch problems when I converted them using my normal tools. This package worked correctly once I figured out a few of the settings and it did a nice job quickly.
There is a new guide to convert Divx/Xvid to DVD
gui4ffmpeg is one of the best tools I've used for encoding files to DVD - try it - you may become fan of this easy to use, lighting fast program as well.
If the encoded divx/xvid is not playable in WMP, see this guide:

Dukes Play to 2-2 Tie With Xavier
Oct. 27, 2002
Duquesne's men's soccer team played to a 2-2 tie with Xavier on Sunday afternoon at DU's Rooney Field. The Dukes are 9-2-5 this season, 4-1-3 in conference play. The Musketeers record is 8-7-1, 3-4-1 A10.
After a scoreless first half, the Dukes jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by junior Damien Pottinger (Scarborough, Ontario / Mother Teresa) and sophomore Trocon Reffell (Houston, TX / Cypress Creek). Reffell and freshman Pat Dillon (Longhorne, PA / Holy Ghost Prep) assisted on the first goal while Pottinger assisted on the second.
However, Xavier pulled to within one with a goal in the 78th minute and scored the tying goal off a header by its goalkeeper Brian Schaeper off of a corner kick with 25 seconds remaining in regulation.
Senior goalie Terry McNelis (Reading, PA / Exeter Twp.) had six saves while Schaeper stopped 10 of DU's 12 shots on goal.
Pottinger tallied a goal and an assist in both games this weekend giving the Canadian native 12 goals and five assists so far this season, leading the Dukes' offensive attack with 29 points.
The Dukes return to action on Friday, Nov. 1 as they host Fordham (4-11, 1-7 A-10) at 7:00 p.m. on Rooney Field.

Thanks in advance.

The word leprosy has cast a shadow of terror before it since times of antiquity. From biblical days, when the leper had to proclaim his presence with a cry of "unclean," to the present period, when he is summarily incarcerated, no other disease has had the tremendous religious, moral, and social implications of leprosy. Despite the fact that it is far less contagious than tuberculosis and infinitely less prevalent, leprosy is considered a much greater hazard by the general public and, perhaps, by the medical profession. If this attitude is found in the United States, with only 0.1% of the world's lepers, it is not difficult to conceive of the unfortunate lot of the remaining 5,000,000 lepers in the poverty-stricken, less enlightened areas of the world.
Recently, with newer advances in chemotherapy, a belated hope has been tendered to lepers. In view of the greater efficacy of these drugs in

Birds by name
Parakeets have been popular pets since the Victorian times, and inevitably, many birds have escaped or been deliberately released over the years. Despite their tropical origin, the parakeets are fully able to cope with the cold British winters, especially in suburban parks, large gardens, and orchards, where food supply is more reliable.
Despite good numbers of parakeets living in the wild for a long time, and apart from an isolated incidence in Norfolk in 1855, they only started to breed in 1969 in Kent, south-east of London. Since then the population has steadily increased, currently numbers over 5,000 individuals, and is still growing.
Even though Greater London and surrounding areas is still its stronghold, the species has been recorded in almost every county in England, and has reached Wales and the Scottish borders.

Encore! Prospect sponsors Island of Culture's live screening programme
The trade union Prospect is to sponsor Island of Culture's live screening programme throughout 2014.
The sponsorship agreement launched officially with the acclaimed National Theatre production of War Horse, based on the book by Michael Morpurgo, screened before an invited audience at Ballakermeen High School's Studio Theatre.
Prospect's negotiations officer Angela Moffat said: 'There is a strong emphasis in these year-long cultural celebrations to engage with a broad cross section of the community and we fully support Island of Culture's aim to make culture more mainstream and accessible to a wider audience. This resonates very much with our work to advance equal opportunities and support Isle of Man projects that can bring benefit to the local community.
'We're pleased to be sponsoring Island of Culture's live screenings. They provide an opportunity to see all kinds of theatrical events in drama, opera, music and dance in a "live-to-cinema" setting. It's an exciting area, one we're proud to sponsor, as it's a way to bring performing arts to greater numbers of people at a more affordable cost. Simply put, it's about democratising culture.'
Island of Culture event director Michael Lees said: 'We're extremely grateful to Prospect for their generous sponsorship and, of course, to Ballakermeen High School, for acting as hosts.
'Thanks to the support of Prospect these live screenings will add a new dimension to the depth and breadth of first-class theatrical experiences available to audiences in the Isle of Man.'
Ballakermeen High School's head teacher Adrienne Burnett said: 'The school is proud to be at the forefront of cutting edge live screening technology in the Island and able to show the very best productions the UK and Europe have to offer in the intimate surroundings of the Studio Theatre.'

WASHINGTON — Instead of backing away from a campaign speech that critics said fanned animosity between Jews and blacks, Rep. Gus Savage (D., Ill.) defended every syllable yesterday at a news conference.
In a March 17 campaign speech in Chicago, Savage attacked pro-Israel campaign funds and members of a pro-Israel lobbying organization for supporting his opponent in the Democratic primary. Savage narrowly won the primary.
His points were well-worn: The pro-Israel lobby is powerful, and distant interest groups sometimes influence local congressional elections.

Wisconsin in search for warmer air
Seems like 50s won't let go
Strong low pressure over eastern Iowa will drift slowly across northern Illinois today. Clouds hang around and showers will be most likely this morning. Showers will stay light and scattered. Persistent northeast/east winds will keep highs in the upper 50s today and low 60s inland.
Drier air returns for tomorrow with gradual clearing and readings reaching the low 60s lakeside and mid 60s in Waukesha. The best weekend weather is lining up for Saturday with sun and highs closer to 70.
Rain and storms return quickly Sunday morning, but our highs hold to about 70 for Sunday. Showers linger for Monday, but temperatures do not fall out of the 70s for highs. Mid 70s for Tuesday and Wednesday with a bubble of warm air at the end of next week pulling our highs into the 80s.

TREATMENT of the injured pancreas is the most difficult and controversial problem in surgery of abdominal trauma. Several clinical and experimental studies support the use of measures which depress gastric and pancreatic secretions and maintain blood volume, as well as those procedures intended to inhibit the diffuse "inflammatory" changes which may occur.
When serious damage is confined to the body or tail of the gland, the resection of detached or devitalized fragments is an accepted method of treatment to assure hemostasis and reduce the frequency of late complications. Injury of that portion of the pancreas to the right of the superior mesenteric vessels, however, introduces concern for the integrity of the duodenal wall and the biliary and pancreatic ductal systems, and it is in this area that surgical measures to repair or resect pancreatic tissue take on awesome proportions.

Well-camouflaged and extremely aggressive, Northern Pike will strike at just about anything that crosses their path. These fish are traditionally caught on lures or live bait. But when host Lawrence Pyne joins pike enthusiast Drew Price on Bristol Pond (Winona Lake) for a day of pike fishing, they break out the fly rods in pursuit of these great predators.
OJ 606 Seg 1
By the time February roles around most fishermen are chomping at the bit for warm weather to arrive. But a dedicated group of ice fishermen look forward to late winter just as eagerly. They know that the tail end of ice fishing season is one of the best times to catch a huge northern pike. Of the top 20 pike entered in the Vermont record fish program more than half were pulled through the ice in February and March. Many of them came from Glenn Lake in Western Rutland County and a good share were caught by just one man, Joe Bruno of Castleton.

As winter slowly loosens its icy grip on Lake Champlain, activity on and around the lake is almost nonexistent. But under its slushy surface, it is a different story. As spring approaches, multitudes of fish are gearing up for the spawning season, and many of the lake's bays and marshy setbacks teem with life. For the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, it's the perfect opportunity to begin gathering data for its northern pike management project.

The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (HR 5297), which President Barack Obama signed on Oct. 4, will provide approximately $30 billion to small banks (those with less than $10 billion in assets) for lending to small businesses; provide approximately $12 billion in tax incentives to small businesses and expand the loan programs of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Many banks rely on these programs to provide small-business loans to businesses that might not qualify without the added backing provided by the SBA.
According to the SBA, "the new law will provide critical resources to help small businesses continue to drive economic recovery and create jobs."
In California, there may be more loan opportunities as banks may be able to offer credit to small businesses that might not have previously qualified. (According to the SBA, in the first week after the Jobs Act was passed, the SBA backed nearly 2,000 loans totaling nearly $1 billion in lending support.)
State funding programs and community banks will also receive more federal dollars to lend to small businesses. The law also provides $50 million in grants to small-business development centers to fund counseling and training.
The following is a more detailed look at the law:
7(a) loan changes
- The SBA enhancements include the ability to increase the maximum loan amount from $2 million to $5 million, providing small businesses with an opportunity to expand their businesses and take advantage of commercial real estate opportunities and low interest rates.
- SBA loan origination fees have been waved until the end of 2010. Such fees can range from 2 to 3.75 percent of the guaranteed portion of the loan.
- The guarantee percent has increased from 75 percent up to 90 percent through the end of 2010, making it easier for banks to approve loans.
504 loan changes
- Increased loan amount: 504 maximum loan size will also permanently increase to $5 million ($5.5 million for manufacturers and energy loans).
- Fee reductions: 504 fees have also been waived for banks and borrowers.
- Debt refinancing: For the next two years, 504 loans may be used to refinance real estate loans coming due on owner-occupied commercial property. It enables refinancing of qualified existing debt without business expansion.
Tax implications
- HR 5297 allocates $12 billion for tax incentives on investments for new equipment and increased hiring by small businesses.
- Deductions are allowed for employer-provided mobile phones, health insurance costs for the self-employed and more deductions are allowed for startup businesses.
- General business credits may be carried back five years and there is accelerated/bonus depreciations.
- Zero capital gains taxes for those who invest in small businesses.
- Limitations have been imposed on penalties for certain tax reporting errors.
The law permanently increases microloan limits from $35,000 to $50,000, helping entrepreneurs with startup costs and small business owners in underserved communities.
Alternative size standards
The law expands the number of small businesses eligible for SBA loans by increasing the alternative size standards to those with less than $15 million in net worth and $5 million in average net income.
Temporary enhancements
To help with working capital and commercial real estate financing, the law temporarily increases the maximum amount of SBA Express loans until Sept. 27, 2011, from $350,000 to $1 million. Several other temporary enhancements exist. Visit www.sba.gov for details.
The new law promotes small-business exporting and offers various incentives for small businesses to export goods, including turning a pilot loan program into a permanent program with 90-percent guarantees for loans up to $350,000; for loans between $350,000 and $500,000 it guarantees 75 percent.
Federal contracts
The new law strengthens small businesses' ability to compete for federal contracts. See the SBA website at www.SBA.gov for details.

And it's time for those dreaded resolutions. We make them. We break them. And we move on. I am going to share a personal resolution and a blogger resolution! Ya ready?!
My blogger resolution is to take more pictures and better pictures! People, I have a fancy dancy Canon EOS Rebel camera that I rarely use. Instead, I take pictures with my iPhone. I know right?! I resolve to do a much better job using the Canon for my pictures and taking the time to make them look good for this blog. Won't that be much better than my cruddy iPhone pictures?! Stay tuned!
My personal resolution is more challenging. I make this resolution yearly. I even made it 6 months before the wedding. And I've never done it. I've come VERY close but never quite there. I resolve to get rid of the muffin top and finally get my six pack abs! YEAH! Muffin top be gone!
I don't want anything crazy...just some nice abs. That's all. Let's see how I do! Maybe someday I can post my own picture of a six pack! Here's hoping! You know you're secretly hoping for that! hehe
And I am linking up with Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the January currently!
I am disgusted by our government and the complete lack of concern for the people. It's all about the party and their side and no one else. It's pathetic, embarrasing and makes me angry. Rant over.
I love this time off to relax, create, re-invent stuff and enjoy my friends and family. And sleep. Yes, sleep! Who doesn't love a nap or two?!
I am thinking that tonight's new year gala is going to be epic and our most fun party yet! Don't ya wish you had an exclusive invite?! Teehee. It's not really that exclusive. If you know where we live, come on over!
Wanting more clipart. I love clip art and I want more and more and more and more...it's totally a problem. I need help. Or just more clipart!
If I want those abs...no more doughnuts. Salads for lunch everyday AGAIN.
I am inspired by each of you. You inspire me to better. Thank you for that!

Time for a little rebranding. While VisionsoftheKingdom.com will still remain active for the foreseeable future, this site will now also be accessible by ImprovementEra.com – which I will be turning into its primary domain and title. Right now, I'll be doing the transition, sort of like how Kinkos went to FedEx Kinkos before turning into FedEx Office, and dropping the Kinkos entirely.
When I began the site, it was designed to showcase some images, illustrations and videos I'd created to help visualize aspects of Old Testament-era culture and religion as was beginning to understand them, especially as pertaining to the ancient Temple. I wanted to choose a name which presented the idea of all that together, and Visions of the Kingdom seemed to fit pretty nicely.
Since then, while still having a great interest in the development of the ancient world and its scriptural texts, the majority of my focus in study has switched to the history of the Modern Restored Church.
As I began to switch in emphasis as to what was being posted here, I realized that the blog name didn't really mesh as well with the new content and focus.
Somewhat inspired by the Bloggernacle trend of using titles of defunct Church related periodicals (see Juvenile Instructor, Millennial Star, Times and Seasons, Keepapitchinin, etc – admittedly some of the bigger fish in the Bloggernacle pond), I thought of the Ensign's most recent antecedent, the Improvement Era.
The Improvement Era served many purposes. Initially the official publication arm of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association (YMMIA) , it eventually became the premier adult Church periodical. In a time before Correlation, its topics ranged from General Conference addresses, to fiction, to culture, to scientific discoveries, and even discussion of pseudepigraphal and apocryphal literature.
The Era published several substantial intellectually provocative essays by Hugh Nibley, published photos of the Joseph Smith Papyri and discussed the ramifications, and was the first American Publication of the Pseudepigraphal Apocalypse of Abraham (in 1898!).
In other words, while official, it was all over the place.
I love how the Era was summed up in its entry on the Encyclopedia of Mormonism:
Through its General Authority sponsorship and its focus on theology, history, contemporary affairs, and life in the Church. Its name reflected its sponsor's goal to be for the intellectual, moral, and spiritual mutual improvement of its readers in a new Church era just one year after Utah achieved statehood….its pages were often used to voice concerns important to Church leadership and to respond to queries concerning Church doctrine and LDS lifestyle.
I thought this addressed well what I hoped this site to be: focused on theology, history, contemporary affairs, and life in the Church. Additionally, to contribute to the conversation of what consists of intellectual, moral, and spiritual mutual improvement with all of the participants. I recognize and desire to emphasize that we live in a New Era, where materials relating to Ancient and Modern scriptures and history are at an unprecedented level of availability.
I want to be able to consider, explore, and voice concerns important to Church members and its leadership, and attempt in some way or another to respond to queries that I personally have encountered through my own studies and experience concerning Church doctrine and LDS lifestyle.
I'm not a General Authority. I'm not a Professional Scholar. I'm not really an expert on any one thing at all. But I am a well-read practicing and faithful Latter-day Saint Convert of 7 years interested in learning from and pondering and sharing what those who belong to both categories have to say – as well as all those in-between. I'm still trying to find my voice in the world of Mormon Blogging, but I'm enjoying the ride.
I hope there's something here you'll find of interest, or benefit.

Fears are mounting that a looming European directive will starve small companies of money raised on the stock market.
The European Short-Selling Regulation, which takes effect from November 1, proposes to cut the period between the time a share trade is agreed and its settlement — the date when cash and shares are exchanged — to only four days. In time, this would fall to two days.
Market-makers that fail to deliver the required amount of stock to a customer that has agreed to buy it, by the required date, will be fined a £125 administration charge and £25 for each day

Gadsden County Sheriff's Office Investigator Brian Faison said he believes the arrest last week of 21-year-old Anthony Resnard Youmas may have brought an end to the recent string of Havana-area burglaries.
"We were averaging two, maybe three burglaries per day. Since his arrest we haven't had any," Faison said.
"If you bite me once, you won't get the chance to bite me again," said Quincy city commissioner Keith Dowdell.
He was referring to a request from the county to waive the utility deposit for Gadsden Memorial Hospital when it opens. In a letter to Jack McLean, city manager, dated May 28, county manager Johnny Williams requested the waiver.
Three Gadsden County men were honored for their commitment to the community and to small business during the Florida A&M University Small Business Development Center's 26th annual Small Business Week Celebration last Friday evening.
Held at the GFWC Women's Club in Tallahassee, the event was the culmination of two days of small business workshops and leadership forums. Themed "Meeting Challenges, Achieving Success," the event also included activities focused on small business disaster preparedness.
Quincy city commissioners voted to table a youth protection ordinance that would place a curfew on youth under 17 years of age from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., seven days per week.
When Ferman Richardson, police chief, introduced the ordinance 2 weeks ago, commissioners said they didn't have enough statistical information to make a decision. Richardson said he spoke with a police lieutenant with the Leesburg Police Department, and the Quincy ordinance was based on that model.

The Amish live a bit less Primally than you might think, at least in this area of Ohio. We live amongst a decently large community in my little corner, my special-needs daughter goes to her special-needs-only school with several of the community's kids, and we have struck up a friendship with one family in particular to the point of private invitations back and forth between our homes.
The Amish in this area take regular shopping benders to WalMart, their kids do get ear infections to the point of needing PE tubes (which they do get), I see them at the Cleveland Clinic (where I take my kid) as a matter of course, and since I regularly shop at an Amish-owned Amish-run salvage grocery (they get deliveries of non-homegenized local milk and local eggs which I buy) I see loads of them come to stock up on regular grocery store boxed factory food as that is what the store sells. I am acquainted with another family well enough to know that the mom is on an antidepressant and may be for life - husband told me. The last guy I talked to (he had parked his horse and buggy in the woods at the end of my driveway, and for two days I saw that rig in the exact same spot but never a driver so I hit the woods looking for him on the morning of the second day as I thought he might be lying in the woods somewhere needing help - turns out he was logging and just arrived at dawn each day) had icky rotten teeth. Many are seriously on the short side, men included, to the point that it literally turns my head when I spy a 6-foot Amish man. And I swap dietary war stories and recipes with a couple of Amish moms who themselves along with their kids have multiple food allergies and GI diseases.
Small family farms do not make enough to see them through the realities of life any more, so many men work the trades away from home (which fuels a vigorous sideline job industry for Non-Amish retirees here as driving service operators) and and the women take part-time employment as house cleaners and amongst themselves as shop help at places such as that salvage grocery I frequent.
While there is very much that I admire about their ways, the article kinda makes them sound like some super-race or something, and that is wrong.
So while I have not seem an autistic Amish child yet, myself, either, I have seen enough suffering to know all is not perfect in their world, healthwise, either.

Can a smoothbore musket be loaded with Brenneke slugs?

> Can a smoothbore musket be loaded with Brenneke slugs?

I am curious: would Brennekes or any other drag-stabilized projectile work well in a Brown Bess or a similar gun?

You can certainly shoot it through a smoothbore, but whether you have any accuracy is a separate issue. It should fit the bore less it bounces its way through.
At Breed's Hill, when the Rebels ran out of shot, they used rocks, nails and anything else that was readily at hand.
January 25, 2003, 07:49 PM
Properly patched/saboted, they should shoot fine. The only question would be performance. Brennekes are the finest slugs that I have ever used. I suspect that a whole lot of science is behind that fact. It could be that their drag-stabilization is tuned for a certain average muzzle-velocity that BP guns may/may not be capable of.
It makes for an interesting idea.
First try some basic accuracy tests. The group that begins to open way up is past maximum effective range.
Then you could perform "keyhole" tests in paper targets set up at about 50-75-100-etc. yds. downrange. The first target to present "Keyholes" (non-circular holes in the paper) would be beyond your maximum stabilized flight range. The two should roughly coincide.
January 27, 2003, 11:13 PM
Most cast foster or brenneke style slugs only run around .68-.70 caliber, as they are meant to fit through choke tubes. My home cast Lee's run .68 almost exactly, but they're "patched" with a standard 12gauge target wad for use in a rifle barrel. You'd need a lot of patching to fit a .75 brown bess. Now a .69" French Charleville musket ...hmmmmm.
May 18, 2006, 12:46 PM
I just pulled apart a 20 gauge Brenneke slug. It measures .630". It will not fit down the bore of my TVM Fowler, which is .620. Don't know if it could be resized to load. No way to shoot it to test for accuracy.
It may fit another brand or style of muzzleloading smoothbore with an oversize 20 gauge barrel.
May 18, 2006, 12:54 PM
What if you put a slug in a plastic shot cup and rammed it down the bore? Seems to me the skirt would expand and give a better seal than the raw slug.
May 19, 2006, 12:26 PM
The Lyman cast foster-type slug in the red Remington wad (12 gauge) loads in my 12 gauge sbs Pedersoli. Haven't tried it at the range yet...interesting.
