How to Increase hard disk speed

When u install utilities like Tune UP
Win XP manager, super utilities, System Mechanic etc., and click on increase system performance, optimize, etc. then these applications do hundreds of activities and tweaks with ur s/m out of which the above is just a one.
You may not do these manually if u have installed such softwares

Do the following to increase..........


Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the start & then Run command.

Expand the system.ini file window.

Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].

Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type

Irq14=4096

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.

Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
Update: The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives, however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks. In any case, it won't harm your system, so why not try it yourself and let me know what you find

Step By Step Tutorial on How to Make Ringtones

I will try to go step by step and post screenshots along every step,so it would be easier for new members to follow....

Hopefully, this could be some kind of help to you guys!!!

Step 1 - Power Mp3 cutter :

It's a VERY easy software to use,from which u can cut ur favorite part from ur song!!! It's also very small in size!!!

First of all,drag & drop ur mp3 file in it,than set a begin and an end and you will end up having ur favorite segment....{see screenshots}


1-Setting a begin:

2 - Setting an end:

3 - Processing:

PS1 : Don't try to directly convert it into .wav format becoz there is no specifications in this application for this, you will end up with a large file size!!

PS2 : As you can see, I left the bitrates "same as source file" ,but you can adjust the bitrates (which will result in a small file size)!!you have to check which bitrates suites ur mobile the most!!

4 - Favorite Part/Segment:

PS1 : As you can see , i ended up with a segment with 28 seconds long...choose the duration you want,but no one needs a tone with a length more than 50 secs!!!

PS2 : I advise to tick the "fade out" effect ,it will give a better end for ur tone.

PS3 : For users who uses mp3 format as ringtone,i guess the job ends here...all you have to do is to send it to ur mobile!!

Step 2 - Fairstars Audio Converter:

Also an easy & friendly application to use,which will allow you to convert ur favorite segment mentioned above to wav. format!!!

Open the application and drag & drop ur segment into it....

You will see the specifications of ur segment (mp3) & its file size,just select "convert to wav" {See screenshots}

1 - Input:

2 - Bitrates Specifications:

After inputting the segment & selecting wav,just go to "options" than "wav" and modify the bitrates for ur wav file!!

PS1 :Follow the exact specifications as in the screenshot :

1-Channel: Mono
2-Bits per sample: 8 bits
3-Sampling Rate: 22050Hz

PS2 : Using these specifications,you will end up with a lound volume for ur tone with a 95 % clear sound,and most of all a small wav file size!!!!
You can control the volume of the tone by lowering the "sampling rate" ,but don't try to make it any higher (more than 22050 hz) else you will end up with a distored sound file!!!!

3 - Conversion:

4 - Stereo mode & Bitrates:

Some users just don't mind the size nor the volume and prefer a 100% clear sound file!!

To this you will have to change the specifications as follow:

1-Channel: Stereo
2-Bits per sample:16bits
3-Sampling rate: 16000 Hz

Using these specifications,you will end with an excellent sound clarity & a good sound volume, but a larger file size!!!!

PS1 : Adjusting the "bits per sample" to 8 bits will also reduce the file size!!

See Screenshots

5 - File size:

See for exemple the file size of the new converted wav segment (mono mode)

Note: this size could be even smaller,coz in here i didn't change the bitrates of the mp3 file while cutting it, i left it as 128kbps!!!

Step 3 - Goldwave: {optional}

Also an easy to use program!!!
Some of you,after doing all the steps mentioned above,may not be satisfied from the volume,clarity...etc of their new wav file!!!
Here is where you have to use this program and modify some stuff in ur wav file to get the best results!!!!

1 - Initiation & Hotkeys:

I guess the screenshot explains everything,and as you can see there is some Hotkeys in this application which we r going to use!!!

2 - 3 steps for a better sound:

( A ) - Noise Reduction:

As you can see,we can reduce the noise in the wav file, and there is many noise types!! i have marked the main noises that a wav file could suffer from....just intiate the adjustements and than press preview "play icon" ,if satified than all you have to do is apply them!!!

( B ) - Silence reduction:

Same as before,you can reduce the silence in ur wav file...preview than apply!!!

( C ) - Change volume:

Same as before,the option explains itself...it's for volume editting!!!
Many users asks about this, i have marked the most common volume options you could use....also preview than apply!!

Note: I advise not to amplify the volume a lot,else you will end up with some ditortions in ur file!! the 150 % is the most suitable!!!

How To Retain music from songs(removing vocal)

Vocal removal is a very inexact science. It is very difficult to completely remove vocals from a song. However, with many songs, and the latest technology, it is possible to do a decent job when it comes to removing vocals from a recording.

Requires Mixcraft - Download a free trial of Mixcraft 2.0 here

Download the free vocal removal plug-in

The Extra Boy vocal removal VST plug-in, created by Elevayta (www.elevayta.com), is a free, high-quality vocal removal tool. Download the Extra Boy vocal removal plug-in from Acoustica?s site at the following URL:

http://www.acoustica.com/plugins/vst-directx.htm

Install this VST Effect, and restart Mixcraft.

Load a song

Load a song and place it at time zero on track one:



Next, press the FX button on Track 1, and you will see the Track 1 Effects dialog:



Click on the ?Select New Effect To Add? drop-down and load the Extra_Boy effect:



Select the ?Full Spectrum (HR)? preset. The (HR) presets are High Resolution presets and will give you better results.

Play!

Now, press Play in Mixcraft and you will hear your song with reduced vocals. This process is not always perfect, and depends on the song, but sometimes the results can be very, very good.

You can now Render the results to a WAV file, MP3 file, or other file format using the File Render function, or you can burn the track directly to CD. In addition, you can string a number of songs together on the same track, one after the next, and use the CD Track Marker and CD Burning tools to burn a music-only CD. This is great for karaoke parties!

Experiment!

Experiment with the controls in Extra Boy. Try different settings and see if you can achieve better results. There are additional presets as well which may give you better (or worse!) results. Since Vocal Removal is a very difficult science, it is difficult to make a preset that works on all sorts of sonic material, so tweaking the controls can greatly improve your results. Have fun with it!

Note:
The link to these softwares are just demo version.....so it will have 2 second breaks while playing the songs.....to avoid this either pay and buy it or find a crack for it.

Tutorial to combine 2 full dvd's in one

Starting with v 3.0 DvdReMake can be used to combine 2 full dvds (DvdReMake Pro - 4 dvds) together so that they can be burned on one dvd disk. This means FULL - keeping original menus, languages, everything.

Procedure is completely automated, you simply import disks you would like to merge, go to "Tools\Merge DVD..." menu and select projects to be merged. As a result you will get a new project. Export it and you have two disks merged to one DVD.

When played this disk will show a start up menu asking what disk you would like to go to; after that selected disk will play as if it is the only one on the DVD. At any time during playback pushing "title menu" on the remote will take you to this start up menu.


Why?


Why would one want to put two (and more) full DVDs on one disk? Well, there could be plenty of reasons. This guide is based on one of them.

There were two DVDs made out of footage shot during vacations. Those were different trips with more then a year interval between them, so quite naturally they ended up on different DVDs. Another year latter, during one of the family "get-togethers", relatives found these disks and decided that they must have it as well. Why not?

But original disks were quite small, about 2Gb, and they both would fit nicely to one DVD. There was no point in wasting blanks so DvdReMake Pro was used to merge them.


Step-by-step description of the procedure


Disks are ripped to the hard drive and imported into DvdReMake (Pro). Importing dialog title "Select directory for DVD import" can be somewhat confusing. It is necessary to get into folder with files you want to import and then push "Select".

Once disks are imported go to "Tools/Merge DVDs?" ?

? and select projects you want to merge:

Hit "Merge" and in few seconds project with merged disk is ready:

That is it, you can export now.

Whole thing took less than 30 seconds to import and merge disks and about 15 minutes to export merged project. You can burn it now with your favorite DVD burning application.

Step BY Step Tutorial on Joining avi files

VirtualDub-You need this excellent tool to join two AVI files together.
Pls google for the download link!

Note: This will not work for files that have different framerates, codecs or resolutions. The idea is that we will add the two files together quickly without having to do any re-encoding.

Step. 1 - File --> Open Video File

Launch VirtualDub and open the first AVI file in the sequence of videos you want to join by selecting File--> Open video file.




Step. 2 - Open First AVI file

Find the first AVI file, select it and then click Open. You will now see it open in VirtualDUB. If the program says it's unable to locate a decompressor, then you will have to find the appropriate codec. I recommend you install FFDShow.


Step. 3 - Scroll to the end of the file

Drag the slider straight to the end of the video stream. Make sure it is set on the very last frame.


Step. 4 - File --> Append AVI Segment

Now after you have made sure the last frame is selected, click File --> Append AVI Segment and the File Browser will pop up again.


Step. 5 - Open Second AVI file

Locate the second AVI file, select it and click Open, the second file should now be added to the end of the first file. Now this is where you will get problems if you have file with separate framerates, resolutions or codecs.


Step. 6 - Video --> Direct Stream Copy

Now we have to make sure that you don't end up with decompressed Video (which would probably result in a file 100's of GB's in size). Click Video --> Direct Stream Copy. This is very important, do not forget this.!


Step. 7 - Audio --> Direct Stream Copy

Just as we had to with Video, we just have to make sure that you won't wind up with uncompressed Audio (LPCM). Click Audio --> Direct Stream Copy. This is very important, do not forget this!


Step. 8 - File --> Save As AVI

Now you are ready to save an AVI file. Click File --> Save As AVI, select where you want to save a new AVI file and then it will only take a few minutes at most to save it.


Finally

Hopefully this will have helped you to join two AVI files together. If you have any problems or questions, please post it..

Comments r welcomed... ;)
