DVDStyler: assertion "useimg" failed: file "subgen-image.c", line 726

spumux capabilities/limitations says the error message in the title is usually due to using too many colors. For me it was caused by the use of a background color for a button font in DVDStyler. Once I removed the background color and erased the temp directory, the menu generating went smoothly. In order to make the font stand out from its background, I darkened the background image from underneath it.

Addition: For a text button with lots of words, this error seems to pop up even though the color limitation mentioned above is met. I followed an advice given on DVDStyler forums and manually enlarged the width and height of a problematic button and that seems to have worked. What an annoying glitch…

Deinterlace and IVTC with AviSynth, TDeint and EED2

How to IVTC:

For TFF clips:
AssumeTFF()
Interp = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=1)
Deinted=TDeint(order=1,field=1,edeint=Interp)
TFM(mode=6,order=1,PP=7,slow=2,mChroma=true,Clip2=Deinted)
TDecimate(mode=1)

For BFF clips:
Interp = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=0)
Deinted = TDeint(order=0,field=0,edeint=Interp)
TFM(mode=6,order=0,PP=7,slow=2,mChroma=true,Clip2=Deinted)
TDecimate(mode=1)

How to Deinterlace:

For TFF clips:
AssumeTFF()
Interp = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=1)
TDeint(order=1,field=1,edeint=Interp)

For BFF clips:
Interp = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=0)
TDeint(order=0,field=0,edeint=Interp)

How to Bob:

For TFF Clips:
Interp = SeparateFields().EEDI2(field=3)
TDeint(mode=1,order=1,edeint=Interp)

For BFF Clips:
Interp = SeparateFields().EEDI2(field=2)
TDeint(mode=1,order=0,edeint=Interp)

Pankkiautomaatti ohjelmoitiin antamaan liikaa rahaa

Poliisi etsii Yhdysvaltojen Virginian osavaltiossa miestä, jonka onnistui murtamaan pankkiautomaatin turvajärjestelmät. Hän ohjelmoi automaatin antamaan viiden dollarin sijaan 20 dollarin seteleitä, ja nosti sitten rahaa pre-paid-tyyppisellä pankkikortilla.
