I’m going to call this next subject the “Professor Maryanne Problem”.

Continue readingFun with Video Encoding – FFmpeg & VidConvert
I’ve told you a lot of stories about how my friend Dorothy (aka macLurker) helps me out by writing scripts for me to help automate things I do for the podcast. She’s really smart and knows SO much more than I do about programming. We have a lot of fun working on these projects but […]
