I'm also using Chrome, but the video doesn't skip for me. 

Maybe it's because you have watched it before? It could also be becuase you watched it as part of a playlist.

Either way you should try clearing your cookies. That should fix it.

Works fine for me, sometimes the save state on youtube is a bit buggy/ will add some time before hand so you can get back into the video and allow for buffering time

 

I highly doubt it is purposefully happening to hide the sponsor message!

Okay, that's good. I didn't want to believe it. This is Jessie and Totalbiscuit after all! 

But you've got to admit, it looked sus.

So i've been watching the sponsored starcraft 2 coop videos with Jessie Cox and Totalbiscuit.

With part 6, i've noticed that while using chrome (on both pc and phone), when opening the video, it skips to 0:09 seconds: right after the disclaimer that it's a sponsored ad.

I know that youtube may save your video position, but i haven't stopped the video at the 9th second. In fact i changed the video position before closing the video to see if it was this.

I tested this in firefox and it didn't happen.

Here's the link, please try it for yourself and let me know what happens for you: 

You haven't activated your copy of Hitfilm, the demo version doesn't allow exporting anywhere except for YouTube. 

 

Edit: Whoops wrong quote

I have multiple MP4s exported with it.

IDK why it's not letting you.

Indeed. Previously it was having trouble activating. At one point, it stopped prompting me for activation, so i thought i'd done it. I didn't use it for a while, so i just assumed that they'd changed it, because giving away an entire program like this seems a little... generous.

TLDR; I relinked my email and it worked.

Basically perfect for me. Every time i'm eating, using the phone is just painful...

If it comes to market, and they make the case for anything other than iphones, then perhaps i'd buy one. But then, you're giving up the protection that a good case gives you, so i'm conflicted.

Hey y'all !!

 

Im thinking of using HitFilm 3 Express for video editing, however don't see it on any blogs "top" lists

 

Anyone have thoughts on it?

Any other recommendations for free software?

 

Much thanks for your replies

Fank, out

Edit: It seems like a great editing program. I still havent figured out what their business model is.

Why does going to reset your pc relate to the issue here? Resetting your pc won't remove incompatible apps, it'll remove all of them (or at least, most) (except the ones from the store).

Windows most certainly doesn't remove those apps due incompatibility. Hell, if win removed Battlefield 4, there would be hell to pay. 65 GB data, on a 400KB/s connection. No.

I never got a notification. Although, since the notification centre in Win10 is so poorly implemented, i wouldn't be surprised if i missed it.

I'm not sure how they regulate it but I agree they shouldn't remove stuff without notifying the user... No uninstalling without notification! THIS IS A REVOLUTION! 

 

JK I'm surprised it doesn't say it's going to remove programs really.. if you do a refresh from the Settings it will give you a list of programs that will be removed before doing anything

Given how Microsoft have been acting lately, i'm not inclined to think that Microsoft will ever tell us how they regulate it.

For example, just yesterday (after installing threshold 2) i found that my default programs had been reset. Why? well so that Microsoft could try to push MS edge on me again. It's this kind of thing that makes me glad that i only use windows for my games.

Also, http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/11/14/microsoft-windows-10-threshold-2-problems/ says that there was a notification?

Ah. But how is removing it worse? What if the problem was a bluescreen while windows was starting? Then it's more of a hassle to remove the program 

Removing it without notification that is.

So first off, removing a program that I installed without telling me is horrible behaviour, but doing it because the program might have caused a problem? That's even worse. How do they regulate that? This program has a known issue, so let's remove it? 

Congrats for your thousandth post. 

Good Night (at least for me), Have a nice day. 

Oh, thanks

Good night

That's what I said? "Inform the user there may be compatibility issues and then ask if they want the effect programs remove or not before installation."

 

A true noob would just close the notification and then bitch when the program caused their PC to bsod and then they'd go out and buy a Mac  :lol:

I was saying that removing it because it might cause issues is even worse than removing it because it will cause issues.

And then i was agreeing with you, and suggesting the implementation.

Yep, that's the same

 

 

That's fine, I'll test each of them, no problem.

have fun

BTW the motherboard is the only piece of the system that has no warranty on it as I bought it from ebay, from a guy who won it. He opened it and he realised it's an x99 and he had no money to build a PC around it. It's just a little bit suspicious. 

 

I'll get back with the results soon.

 

Thanks

Alarm bells are ringing...

I mean that situation sounds fair enough, but still it's Ebay...

And no worries, i'm happy to help.

Yes, I've enabled XMP Profile 1, so it's running at 2666 C16 (in bios).

I will test all of my slots after I finished my lessons.

I have 4 channel and 8 slots. Do you think I need to test each slot or the 4 channels only?

 

 

I will, thanks.

That's okay mate, i'll get an email notification whenever you reply, so i'm in no hurry. 

8 slots! Sorry man. You're testing with one stick of ram, and we're looking for a faulty slot that's affecting the whole thing, so unfortunately each slot has to be tested.

If each slot passes, then i'm thinking that you'll need to test each stick of ram (in one slot!). If it passes that, at that point, idk. That's getting into the layout of the motherboard, and the connections between the ram, cpu and any other chipsets. And i don't engineer motherboards for a living...

I'm back, and I can happily say that the game is still running.

 

I know it's memory hungry but I didn't play with it, just let it run. You know, when you don't touch the game it's just looking the actual character's point of view, or whatever. 

 

So, is it mean my problem is the ram slots or something with it?

When I used all of my 16GB, Windows recognizes every bit of them.

Okay, that's good.

Have you enabled the ram XMP profile, and checked that the ram's specs match with what's shown in the bios (ie, ram speed and ram timings. There will probably be lots of numbers relating to timings in the bios, just look for a sequence like 9-9-9-24 (or whatever the timings are for your RAM). Or at least, that's how did it.

So it's stable with just one stick of ram in place?. I know it's a pain, but could you please try the stick that is known to be good in each ram slot and test for stability. If it shows up clean each time, then that would suggest that all four mobo ram slots are okay (but i suspect that is not the case).

I've found the following timings on corsair's website, for what i think is the same RAM, but please check the documentation that came with your kit.

• Tested Latency: 16-18-18-35

 

Nothing was removed for me. 

 

 

I think it's more of a "It could cause problems if you run it in this very specific scenario" than a "This won't run at all so we're removing it" Regardless, I don't think MS should be doing this. Inform the user there may be compatibility issues and then ask if they want the effect programs remove or not before installation. I'm not on a Mac, I don't need my hand held and told what I can and can't do with my hardware/software.

 

That's even worse!

Microsoft should just put a notification in action centre saying "program ____ may cause problems, because it is incompatible with this version of windows".

A noob can click uninstall or ignore it and wait for update that will make it compatible, or a techie can just ignore it, because we know what we're doing.

I need to have a shower but it seems that 1 stick 4GB RAM in the first channel and first slot is stable so far, I just started GTA 5 and let it just going till I'm away, if it's still unstable, it will freeze as it used to be.

 

 

I'll try this as soon as I finished my lessons. (it's 0:50 in the UK and my first lesson starts at 9 in the university).

I'm not sure that 4GB is enough for GTAV. I recall using about 6 GB yesterday while playing it, with very few other apps open.

So perhaps it's not the best test, since if it does crash, you can't be sure whether it's the problem prescribed, or a lack of available ram. If the game starts stuttering all over the place, that'll also be a giveaway.

Freenas probably wont be an option, as my dad also does his work on this PC still for his school. And we have quite a few other tasks for this thing, such as our FTP server, printserver, playon/plex, RDP... But the data loss isnt HUGE, it was all movies and TV shows. Family photos and stuff were backed up to the cloud, the only thing major that has been lost is the work my dad had on his laptop HDD. I have thought about freenas though, but it seems easier to just use a PC that is usually on anyway.

Ah if it's being used for other purposes then perhaps not. Unless you ran a couple virtual machines, which is also possible with the freenas "jails".

Although, with all that going on, on one pc, i think we know why it's sluggish... What's the specs on this pc?

Windows may be easier (especially given that it's already on there), but given all of the problems you've got with the current setup, a different approach may be required.

Perhaps try the ram in the other slots?

Reboot into safe mode and check if things crash. If not, then try in networking enabled safe mode (a slim chance on this one, but worth a shot). If there's still no crashing, then open all the programs you would normally open (while in networking safe mode).

-snip-

Ah, bad luck with that bitlocker problem. Do you know how it happened?

If that pc is being used as a media server I think it'd be a good idea to use freenas. That should prevent drives from being encrypted by (i assume) most kinds of malware. Performance will be far better than running windows (less overhead). You can use plex within a "jail" (it's a freenas term...) as your media server, and there's a fantastic webgui that you can use to configure things. It works across windows, linux and osx.

I would suggest that you backup what data you can and wipe every drive. You can do this one at a time, and juggle the storage around until every drive is clean, but remember to be careful about how you restore the data, else the drives will be in the same state as before). Keep in mind that freenas will probably want to wipe them anyway.

This way you've now got a windows 10 license for something else!

Whether you go with freenas or not, with this kind of motley setup, i don't think you're going to manage some kind of redundant setup. I've got three hard drives (two of them are 5+ years old) striped together, which means (i think) that if one goes, they all go.

I can't say no to free stuff...

If it's a tablet, then you might as well use a 10" tablet. If your in a situation where the tablet is too big, then use your phone.

A 5" device is a phone. For example the nexus 5, is 5", phone.

Or get something like a moto x pure, nexus 6, nexus 6p, note 5 and don't buy a tablet.

I did exactly the same thing with my 280, and I know not all cases it will work, but for Tahiti it will work!

Depends on the graphics card, but in this case that is correct.

Okay thanks for clearing that up guys, i'll grab an active cable when i get a chance.

EDIT: Currently using a minidp to dp, to active dp to hdmi. works great.

I did exactly the same thing with my 280, and I know not all cases it will work, but for Tahiti it will work!

By that you mean using the active cable right?

It won't work without a signal converter, if you use a simple adapter cable it will be exactly the same as using another DVI/HDMI port, which won't work because you can only have two of those running at once on that family of cards.

You have to get an active adapter and not a passive one like you have!

You can passively adapt displayport to DVI, HDMI or VGA but you CANNOT triple screen using it.

With an active adapter you can!

I guess you can use HDMI.

Okay, so that's this right? https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=619529

ugh $39 bucks )

Pretty sure you can, but if you do, DisplayPort.

None of my monitors have DPP ports. Kinda disappointed that my Benq RL2455HM doesn't...

But the other two? An old Dell 4:3 and some 17" samsung hdtv. Nuff said.

Hi,

So i'm running Ubuntu at the moment, and because AMD's linux drivers suck, i can't use my third monitor. It's connected to the igpu via HDMI, but that doesn't work. But don't worry about that.

I'm using the two DVI ports on my R9 280x for my other two monitors. So can i use a displayport to hdmi connector to connect the third monitor to my discrete gpu. I recall reading about the "clocks" for each connection to the gpu, so i'm not entirely sure that this will work.

Not that it matters, but here's the cable: https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=612920

Thanks in advance

TLDR: can i connect a third monitor to my AMD gpu with a DPP to HDMI cable?
