[14:54]  * Cimi studying
[15:39] <zniavre1> hello
[15:40] <zniavre1> please what is the widget name for volume-applet ? (i would want to change prelight background )
[16:45] <kwwii> _MMA_: what do you use to make wavs from mp3s?
[17:23] <thorwil> kwwii: don't know what he uses, but may i suggest: mplayer -ao pcm input.mp3 -ao pcm:file=output.wav?
[17:44] <kwwii> thorwil: will that get the right bitrate and such?
[17:45] <thorwil> kwwii: i guess yes. why would it get that wrong? :)
[17:46] <kwwii> thorwil: well, my mp3s are all 256 not 44
[17:47] <thorwil> 256 khz??
[17:47] <kwwii> yepp
[17:49] <thorwil> kwwii: are you sure you are not mixing up something? like sample rate, bit rate and the very different way mp3 quality is measured?
[17:49] <_MMA_> kwwii: Can't be right. That's the bitrate.
[17:49] <_MMA_> Sampleing rate can be 44.1/48kHz.
[17:49] <kwwii> ahhh, right
[17:50]  * _MMA_ doesnt know if mp3s can do 96kHz. I think FLAC can.
[17:52] <thorwil> "the available sampling frequencies are 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz"
[17:53]  * thorwil -> dinner
[17:54]  * _MMA_ is testing out his OTA HDTV tuner. Is rather impressed.
[17:54] <_MMA_> OTA = Over The Air
[17:54] <kwwii> ok, I just wrote a script to do the transcoding, now to make it burn a cd as well....thanks all
[17:54] <kwwii> _MMA_: what is that?
[17:54] <_MMA_> Read again.
[17:55] <kwwii> ahhh terrestrial, cool
[17:55] <_MMA_> Yeah. It's alot better than I thought.
[17:56] <_MMA_> There's a Tarheel football game on in full 1080p and it looks great.
[17:57]  * kwwii still has an old box tv :-(
[17:58] <kwwii> thinking about getting a 52" for christmas though...they are much cheaper now
[18:05] <_MMA_> Yep. I just have a 480i (EDTV) 43" plasma and I love it. I can still run a 1080p signal to it. Only way to tell is put a full 1080p set next to it. Even then, it's not such a big difference to bother me.
[18:06] <_MMA_> s/480i/480p
[18:06] <_MMA_> EDTV = Extended Definition TV
[18:06]  * _MMA_ realizes this really should be in PM.
[23:33] <kooldude> ive been gone for a while, so can someone give me an update on what we're doing
