How to read sub files - Xem phim với phụ đề

Usually I post 2 files, one is the video file .avi, the other one is the subtitle file .srt. This tutorial is for those who wants to connect the two to watch (Thường thì Việt post 2 files, 1 file là file video gốc (.avi) không có thuyết minh, đi kèm với 1 file thuyết minh (.srt). Bài này hướng dẫn cách đọc cả 2 files.)

1. Download Media Player Classic here tại đây. Unzip, and run the .exe file. This is the program to read the video file. You only need to download once to use. (Giải nén và chạy file.exe. Đây là chương trình đọc file video. Bạn chỉ cần phải download một lần để xài, sau này không phải download hay cài đặt lại nữa.)

2. A new window will appear. Click on “File”, and then “Open file”. (Một cửa sổ mới sẽ hiện ra. Bấm vào “File”, sau đó chọn “Open File”.)

3. In it, choose “Browse” (Trong này, chọn Browse (ngay bên dưới chữ Cancel).)

4. Show it to the video file you want to watch. Click Open. Then click ok in step 3’s window. (Chỉ đến file video (.avi) bạn muốn xem. Bấm Open. Sau đó bấm OK trong cửa sổ của bước 3.)

5. The video file will start running. Now you need to input the subtitle file (.srt). Click “File”, then choose “Load Subtitle”. ( File video sẽ bắt đầu chạy. Bây giờ bạn tiếp tục bỏ file thuyết minh (.srt) vào. Bấm vào “File”, sau đó chọn “Load Subtitle”.)

6. On the new window, choose the .srt file you want to watch, then click OPEN. (Trong cửa sổ mới, chọn file thuyết minh (.srt), rồi bấm Open.)

7. If the two video and subtitle files match, and if you follow the previous 6 steps correctly, you should be able to watch the video with subtitle. (Nếu cả 2 file đều đúng, và nếu bạn làm đúng cả 6 bước trước thì mọi thứ đã đâu vào đấy.)

How to create an icon from an image?

This tutorial describes how to make icons from images in RealWorld Icon Editor and explains how to prepare images to attain best possible results.

Reader of this guide should be familiar with basic terms related to computer images and icons as discussed in articles about computer images and Windows XP icons.

Overview

Icon is a container of several images, where each image is optimized for specific color depth and screen resolution. When creating icons from image, the task is to resample the image to specified sizes and adjust it to specified color depths.

An image with alpha channel and an icon generated from the image.

Since an icon usually has a transparent background, the conversion should either use transparency information from the source image or determine the transparency using another method.

Converting images to icons in RealWorld Icon Editor

This is a three-step process:

1. Open a supported image. The application understands these standard formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, TIF, JPEG2000, TGA, PCX, PSD, and BMP.
2. Activate one of the 'Create Icon' commands in 'Document' menu or in toolbar. Each command creates an icon with different effects and/or formats.
3. After finishing step 2, a new window is opened. Use this window to modify your new icon and to save it.

An icon is created from image by clicking one of the marked toolbar buttons.

Configure generated image sizes and color-depths and additional effects to apply.

The application comes with several preconfigured image to icon buttons. Users may add their own or modify the default ones. The customization is enabled through layout configuration dialogs.

The source image

An icon is only as good as the source image. For best results, follow these guidelines:

• Keep your source images square. The transformation will stretch source image to fit destination icon dimensions. If the source is not square, the result becomes deformed.
• Use large-enough source images. If the source is larger than 200x200 pixels, the result icon is likely to have nice smooth edges.
• The image should not have any unnecessary empty borders. Icons are small and cannot afford to waste any space.

As mentioned earlier, icons have transparent background. Best results are obtained if source images already have correct alpha channel (use an adequate file format such as PNG). RealWorld Icon Editor can create icons even from images that are missing an alpha channel, although there are additional conditions.

Images without alpha channel

If the original image does not have an alpha channel, the color of the first pixel (or a user defined color) is assumed to be background and it is considered transparent. Make sure that the background color is never used in the actual image (hint: do not use white or black as a background color). Also, avoid using images with smooth edges. If an object is mixed with background, it is virtually impossible to remove all traces of the background.

A good (left) and bad (right) images for image to icon conversion. The right image is too small, it has redundant empty borders, its edges are blent with background, and it is not square.

Images with artifacts

If a source image is stored using a lossy image format such as JPG, it contains artifacts. Images with artifacts are not suitable, because background and foreground are mixed and the application is unable to separate them. This is similar to the problem with smooth edges.

Fixing an unsuitable source image

A raster image editor integrated in RealWorld Icon Editor can help you fix most problems with source images and prepare them for conversion to icon.

To edit an opened image, click 'Edit as Raster Image' command in 'Document' menu or on toolbar. The application window is now showing the image in edit mode. Enable alpha channel in 'Document'->'Raster Image Properties' dialog and use the Flood Fill tool to remove background manually (replace it with transparent color). Experiment with the tolerance parameter of the Flood Fill tool to remove image artifacts and/or antialiased outline.

Once the background is fixed, switch to the 'Image Viewer' layout. Activate the 'Remove Borders' operation in 'Document' menu to automatically remove empty borders and center image in the smallest square possible. The image is now ready and you may use it to create a new icon by clicking one of the 'Create Icon' commands.

Advanced features

RealWorld Icon Editor offers two unique features related to image to icon conversion.

Applying effects during conversion

Almost all Windows XP icons have some kind of shadow or outline enhancement effect. These effects, when used appropriately, give icons uniform style and improve the recognition speed by emphasizing important features of an image. It is of course possible to incorporate these effects into the source image manually, but it would be a lot of work, because:

• The effect should be similar on all icons that are used together. Therefore the size of source images should either be the same or the size of the effect must be relative to the source image size.
• Different image sizes in an icon require different effects. To get perfect results you would need to apply different effects on each generated image.

No shadow - contours are hard to recognize.

Simple shadow improves look and feel.

Custom shadow for each image in an icon.

RealWorld Icon Editor can do the above automatically. It is of course customizable and you may easily change your preferences for a single icon or on a project basis.

Optimizing pre-XP icons

Prior to Windows XP, pixels in icons were either fully transparent or fully opaque. These icons had jagged edges, because smooth edges require semitransparent pixels. These images are still present in Windows XP icons and they are used when color depth of the screen is set to Hi-Color or lower or when an icon is used on older Windows. More information in article about XP icons.

RealWorld Icon Editor allows optimizing pre-XP icons for predefined background color. These icons perform well on all kinds of light backgrounds, especially on toolbars, in menus, and dialogs. The ultimate choice is of course yours. You may enable or disable optimized pre-XP icons in the configuration dialog of the image to icon transformation.

The quality of the optimized icons is getting close to Windows XP icon quality.

Conclusion

After reading this tutorial, you should know what is involved in an image to icon transformation, you should also know how to spot unsuitable images, how to fix them, and how to create icons in RealWorld Icon Editor.

This article covered only the basic techniques. If you cannot find certain feature or feel that something is more complicated then it should be, please leave your comment here or in the support forum. There is a good chance that a solution for your problem already exists.

How to Delete Undeletable Files in Windows

Many times when trying to remove an unwanted program, especially a piece of adware or spyware, you may run across a file that is undeletable by any normal method. When you try to remove it you'll receive the error message shown below telling you "access denied" and explaining the file may be in use. You may also receive one of the following messages.

Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.


So if the file is in use, how do you delete it?

I'll show you several ways of removing these types of files and even some freeware programs that help you remove these pesky undeletable files.

Windows 95/98/ME

If you are using Windows 95, 98, or Windows ME, the easiest way to remove an undeleteable file is to boot to a DOS prompt and manually delete the file. Before you do this, you'll want to make a note of the location of the file including the entire path to it. Follow the steps below to delete these types of files.

If you already know the path to the file, please skip to Step 7

1. Click on Start, Find, Files and Folders
2. Type the name of the undeletable file in the Named or Search For box
3. Make sure the Look In box shows the correct drive letter
4. Click on Find Now or Search Now and let the computer find the file
5. Once the file is located, right-click on it and choose properties, make a note of the file location. Usually this is something similar to
   
   c:\windows\system32\undeleteablefilesname.exe
   
6. Close the search box
7. Locate a boot disk for your version of Windows, if you do not have a boot disk, follow the steps on the link below to create an emergency boot disk.
   
   How to Create an Emergency Boot Disk for Windows
   
   
8. Shut down and restart your computer with the boot disk in your floppy drive.
9. The computer will boot to a DOS prompt that will look similar to
   
   c:\
   
   
10. Type the following command and press Enter to delete the filer, substituting the phrase with the actual path and file name you discovered in Step 5 above.
    
    del
    
    Example:
    
    del c:\windows\undeleteablefile.exe
    
11. Remove the boot disk in the floppy drive and restart your computer
12. The file should now be deleted.

Windows XP

In Windows XP, there are a couple ways to remove an undeleteable file, a manual way, and a couple automated ways using some freeware programs. First, I'll show you the manual way.

Manual Method

If you already know the path to the file, please skip to Step 7

1. Click on Start, Search, All Files and Folders
2. Type the name of the undeletable file in the box shown
3. Make sure the Look In box shows the correct drive letter
4. Click Search and let the computer find the file
5. Once the file is located, right-click on it and choose properties, make a note of the file location. Usually this is something similar to
   
   c:\windows\system32\undeleteablefilesname.exe
   
   
6. Close the search box
7. Click on Start, Run, and type CMD and Press Enter to open a Command Prompt window
8. Leave the Command Prompt window open, but proceed to close all other open programs
9. Click on Start, Run and type TASKMGR.EXE and press Enter to start Task Manager
10. Click on the Processes tab, click on the process named Explorer.exe and click on End Process.
11. Minimize Task Manager but leave it open
12. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory where the file is located. To do this, use the CD command. You can follow the example below.
    
    Example: to change to the Windows\System32 directory you would enter the following command and Press Enter
    
    cd \windows\system32
    
    
13. Now use the DEL command to delete the offending file. Type DEL where is the file you wish to delete.
    
    Example: del undeletable.exe
    
14. Use ALT-TAB to go back to Task Manager
15. In Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the Windows shell.
16. Close Task Manager
    

Programs to automatically delete a file

Remove on Reboot Shell Extension

This is a nice extension that loads into the right click menu. All you have to do is right-click on a file and choose "Remove on Next Reboot" and the file will be deleted the next time the computer restarts. Although it probably should only be used by more advanced computer users since it may be TOO easy to delete files using this program.

Pocket Killbox

A simple .exe file that you can use to delete undeleteable files, although the program will also delete temporary files, edit the HOSTS file, and more. A definite must have program when you are fighting an annoying spyware or adware program that won't remove.

Unlocker

Unlocker is another program that runs from the right click menu. Its simple and very effective. The website even has a side by side comparision of other programs that accomplish this task.

Using one of the three tools shown above, you should be able to remove those annoying undeleteable files once and for all.

How to Start Windows in Safe Mode

Many times in order to remove a piece of spyware or for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes, you'll have to start Windows in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, only specific programs and files needed to run the operating system are loaded. Some functions, such as connecting to the Internet, will not be active in Safe Mode and a standard video driver will be loaded causing a washed out look and a possible change in resolution.

However, because just the essential programs and files are loaded in Safe Mode, this allows us to remove some spyware, adware, viruses and such that cannot be removed in Normal Mode. Follow the instructions below to Start Safe Mode for your specific version of Windows. If you are trying to delete a file that is not allowing you to delete it (even in Safe Mode), you may want to read my article on How to Delete an Undeletable File.

Included at the bottom of the article are instructions for starting Windows Vista in Safe Mode too.
