She lied and misled the guy. Any jurisdiction that gives the same punishment to a guy who failed do a full *fuckin* background check as the guy who went out and kidnapped little girls to fuck 'em is seriously wrong.

Mplayer can do *anything*...
...you just have to configure it.

User friendly and Mplayer are not to be used in the same sentence.

SMPlayer can help you do the most common configurations.

Still under Windows I suggest using CCCP first. (I only use Mplayer for stubborn or borked files).

Not necessarily true. I got off my ex-girlfriend through penetration, so it's possible. Though you'll have to experiment and see what gets her going...
...also take it slow and short on the strokes first. That way you'll last long enough to find out.

You can use this with other formatting too, you just need to modify the "find & replace" parameters. If you post the format you use I can help you.

Subtitle workshop.

It's simple, and it lets you write the sub as you watch whatever you're working on and can do most required operations.

As far as I know there is no "NTSC" format on computers as they all do progressive display. What you might be looking for is MPEG-2 encoding for an NTSC television, that runs at 29.97 FPS.

However without knowing your playback setup it's going to get really complicated. What I can tell you in advance is that there is no "good" solution for all formats. If you want (or *need*, though I have doubts about that) true NTSC video you'll have to do some serious tricks with the video like a 3:2 pulldown or something more if your source was PAL and hence runs at 25 FPS.

So, what do you want to play your video on, what formats does it support and what kind of files would you like to convert?

Summary moved to end of the thread.

Almost all of them. The ones in the picture are from a Hungarian anime forum, so they know I'm into hentai. BTW this was a new year's party.

Nah, the world won't end like that.
Let's see...

Some couple of billion years later the Sun will go Nova and obliterate the Earth.
OK. How about the end of the universe?

All suns go nova (or go brown dwarf), then matter itself falls apart and the universe goes out with a whimper in heat death.

How to create a hentai catalog!

I will create a create a text file, then make a csv file from it and import it into Excel. Finally I'll write a couple of useful excel functions that'll help me find duplicate entries in my catalog.

UPDATE! I've found a better way to make csv files, the guide has been updated with the new method that uses Windows own scripting instead and doesn't need Word.

Setting Up

Name your folders/files (if you archive them) according to some rigid scheme. This time we will use mine. My Windows is Hungarian, but you should find everything familiar and I'll always try to name what I do in English:




a) Hentai Doujinshi

Franchise (Author) - Title [Translator]

b) Hentai Manga & Original Doujinshi

Author - Title [Translator]

The crossed-out part was for the old csv guide.
Nowadays I use this naming scheme:



Franchise {Author} - Title [Translator]

I do this, because this way I can keep all entries (both doujinshi and original work) in a single database with common formating. For eromanga or doujinshi with original setting I just write "Original" into the Franchise field.

New CSV Guide

[size=14]1. A VB Script to switch out characters in a text file.[/h]

First, we make a vb script file that we'll use to make our csv files:


Put this into note-pad as save as "replace.vbs".

This script looks for a specific character in a text file and replaces it with another. We'll use it, to replace the characters you normally use to denote specific parts of a file name (ie. artist is always between {}) with semi-colons (;).

[size=14]2. Next we write a batch file, to process our list files.[/h]



Put this into note-pad and store it as "csv.bat". I keep this in a separate batch file, so whenever I need to make a list I can just call this with the right parameters.

All it does is call the vb script we wrote numeral times and replace varios characters. See that "%1" there? That means this batch file will need a parameter when calling it.

A csv file is a list of records that Excel (or other database/spreadsheet) software can access. Each record ends with an EOF character, and the fields are divided by semi-colons.

Since a listing by windows already separates items with EOF if we can change the characters that denote the different parts of the file/directory name we can get a useable csv file.

This only works with my own naming scheme!

Franchise {Artist} - Title [Translator]

If you use a different naming scheme, you'll have to modify the script!

Ie. If you used Artist (Franchise) - Title and kept your stuff in .rar files, you'd have to replace " (" (yes, you need to get rid of the space too!) with ";" then ") -" with ";" finally ".rar" with "" (empty as we don't need that end of the file).

[size=14] 3. Finally we make the list of directory where our hentai is, then process it with our other batch file.[/h]

You'll have to replace PATH with where you keep your stuff! (ie. C:\My Documents and Setting\User\Documents\Hentai. The batch file will create the new csv file where you run it.



Put this into note-pad and save it as "make-list.cmd".
When you want to create your csv (and text listing file), just run this file.

Mucking around in Excel

If I did everything right, then I should be able to open up this file in excel and a table will greet me:



After correcting some minor errors, (which are easy to find. Just go along the last column and see if there are any extra or missing entries. These are likely due parsing errors you (or in this case me) made during the conversion above or as even more likely the original file or folder didn't follow your naming scheme), it's time to set things up. I create the field headers:



Notice that I created 3 empty fields. I will use these to detect whether there is a duplicate entry in the database.



Before I move on, I'll have to create some self-expanding dynamic named ranges. This will ensure that I can just expand my database without having to rewrite and reapply my parameters each time I add to it.

It's easier than it sounds. This is how:



Go into Add-->Name-->Define.



Write a name, for me it'll be "Artist".
Then write this into the Refers to Box:
"=OFFSET($B$1,0,0,COUNTA($B:$B),1)"

In the above line, B refers to the B column where I have the "Artists" listed. If you have it in a different column, you'll have to write its letter there.
If your spreadsheet has has more than one worksheet , you have to define the range for each sheet and you'll have to name it '< Sheet >'!< Range > and write Refers to as:
"=OFFSET('< Sheet >'!$B$1,0,0,COUNTA('< Sheet >'!$B:$B),1)"

Likewise I'll add another range for the Full name.

Write a name, for me it'll be "FName".
Then write this into the Refers to Box:
"=OFFSET($G$1,0,0,COUNTA($G:$G),1)"

You can read more about Dynamic Ranges here:
http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/DynamicRanges.htm

Time to write the functions. First I'll assemble the full name to search for duplicate entries. I write this into G2 (the first data row in the Full Name field):



=A2 & " (" & B2 & ") - " & C2 & "[" & D2 & "]"

...and I drag fill the rest of the rows. (Just double-click where I indicated).

Next, Duplicates. I write this into E2 (the first data row in the Duplicate field)::

"=IF(COUNTIF(FName,$G2)>1,"TRUE","FALSE")"

...and I drag fill the rest of the rows.

If there's a duplicate entry somewhere in the database than this field will be "TRUE".

Next, Duplicate Under a Different Name. What does this do? One thing I frequently encountered is that there is no set way of writing a Japanese manga-ka's name in English, so frequently his name will be written as < Firstname > < Sirname> or vice versa < Sirname > < Firstname >. I wanted to find if I had an entry where the same manga-ka was already used but with a different order.

Writing this function was a bitch, as I had to evaluate several things. First I had to detect whether there was more than one word in the field. If not, a duplicate entry can't be found under a different name. Then I had to evaluate whether the manga-ka first and last name were the same (due some inane pseudo name like "Muchi Muchi" or something).

So here's the function. I write this into D2 (the first data row in the Duplicate field):

"=IF(ISERR(SEARCH(" ",$B2,1)),"FALSE",IF(OR(COUNTIF(Artist,CONCATENATE(MIDDLE($B2,SEARCH(" ",$B2,1)+1,LEN($B2))," ",LEFT($B2,SEARCH(" ",$B2,1)-1)))<1,MIDDLE($B2,SEARCH(" ",$B2,1)+1,LEN($B2))=LEFT($B2,SEARCH(" ",$B2,1)-1)),"FALSE","TRUE"))"

...and I drag fill the rest of the rows.

Finally I want Excel to automatically highlight errors. I select all the data. (I go to A2, then press Ctrl-right,then Ctrl-down), then I select Format-->Conditional Formating.



I write the following entries



"Formula is" --> =$E2="TRUE" --> Set up formatting for duplicate entries
"Formula is" --> =$F2="TRUE" --> Set up formatting for duplicate under different name.

Here is my second favorite:

I've had this feeling that matriarchal societies never actually existed. You had enlightened or liberal societies like ancient Egypt or the Minoan civilizations, but even in those cases this "view" of those cultures could be our own bias.

As this article on exile states in their article:
That God Who Hates Woman there is yet to be a documented society where woman weren't debased and treated as property.

I got this nagging feeling that the ideal "matriarchal" society is nothing more than and idealist escapist theory made by the liberal types who couldn't put up with the fact of how fucked up humanity is. They needed a "scapegoat" or some "-ism" to label as the cause of all these ills instead admitting that humans (or males in power) are bastards and abusing & using women isn't an aberration but the natural state of our wretched selves.

Until a little while ago all societies were muscle powered. All abstract power comes from the power to kill. Males always had more than women. Hence the state of our wretched affairs.

The thing is in most of the cool and dangerous places that I'd like to visit I'd be killed pretty soon. Hmm... if I *had* to choose (and choose something that'd exciting but not a "safe" choice) I'd go with Record of Lodoss War.

Possessing even rudimentary knowledge of advanced technology could turn any modern day person into a power to reckon. Not as a warrior, but as an advisor or if you survive your initial bout as the "witch/wizard" as a statesman.

Introducing basic things like hygiene (with a rudimentary infection theory to back it up), printing press, workshop based manufacturing (instead guild apprenticeship) could change the world within a couple of decades. Add in more complicated stuff like firearms, steel production techniques, basic electric applications (Radio!) and you could conquer the world.

Even a computer expert like me could be useful. Imagine if information theory was applied to spells and magic. (Read Rick Cook's Wizardry books to find out how that could turn out)... or what a revolution I could cause by creating an administration that actually used hard data and was centralized instead a mere vassal system. Then we go into stuff like encryption and communication that could give a massive advantage to any army in the field. (No more intercepted (...or intercepted and understood!) messages in the field).
