![]() After Godfrey ( Liam Neeson) and his men arrive, there is a new scene of them having dinner with Godfrey's elder brother ( Robert Pugh).These shots help to establish the local geography more clearly than in the theatrical version. There are several newly added shots of the French village as Balian walks away from the prison.The guard of the prison ('Tim Barlow' ) then comes in to Balian's cell and releases Balian. There is a new scene of Balian looking at the sapling planted by his wife ( Nathalie Cox), coupled with a flashback of her planting it.There is a new scene where the bishop of the town ( Bill Paterson) orders Balian's brother to release Balian from prison so the blacksmith can aid him in completing the construction of the new abbey.Also, newly added dialogue with the gravedigger ( Martin Hancock) reveals that the woman being buried was married to the Priest's brother, Balian the Blacksmith ( Orlando Bloom). In the opening scene, there is a shot of the Priest ( Michael Sheen) splitting open his apple only to find that it is rotten.The primary additional scenes in the Director's Cut are: Also, there is now more graphic violence in all the battle scenes, with newly added shots of spurting blood and new close-ups of wounds being inflicted. In all, 45 minutes of new scenes have been added, with the biggest addition, as Ridley Scott acknowledges in the introduction, being the subplot of Sibylla's son. The identity of the knight kept the rest of the army fighting together as a unit.The 194 minute Director's Cut is a roadshow format presentation with an Overture, Intermission and Entr'acte. This was a benefit to those fighting with a knight because it was used as a rallying point. Knights also customized their armor with their family's crest. ![]() There were few knights in each province or region which made it easy to identify a specific knight. Advantage: IdentificationĪ knight also wore armor as a status symbol, distinguishing him from peasant soldiers. Even with all of the disadvantages, a knight in armor was still a powerful force on the battle field, lasting much longer than anyone without armor. Armor was also able to block the earliest form of guns brought into battle. This was a huge advantage in hand-to-hand combat. If a knight's opponent did not aim for the right places on the armor (such as the armpits and neck), then it was nearly impossible to damage the knight. The main advantage to a knight’s armor was the protection that it provided. This is an extreme disadvantage for knights fighting in battle. This increased the chances for heat exhaustion and dehydration. Because this contained so many layers, the suit got hot very quickly and remained heated throughout battle. To prevent injury to the body a knight would wear chainmail (a suit of metal circles linked together) under the armor and a suit of quilted padding under the chainmail. Disdvantage: HeatĪ knight’s armor was made of metal. ![]() The lack of breathability in the helmet also made it difficult to catch enough air for tough combat. ![]() To see properly, a knight would have to remove the face visor or the entire helmet, which made him a target for hits to the face. ![]() Usually small eye and mouth holes were cut into the helmet, which left little room to see and let in little air to breathe. Disadvantage: Breathability and VisionĪ knight’s helmet was a large piece of metal designed to cover his entire head. Maneuverability is mostly a disadvantage, but some knights were able to maneuver better than others. This made it difficult to engage in quick combat. Most suits of armor were bulky, which gave the knight a smaller range of motion. The armor joints were stiff and difficult to move. The maneuverability of a suit of armor is relatively limited. ![]() ![]() Then raise the CRF value in steps of one, until the quality becomes intolerable. Furthermore the common practice is as follows: Start with a low CRF value, such as 16. There also is a rule of thumb: Lowering the CRF value by 6 will double filesize, lowering CRF by 1 will raise filesize by ~12.5% (very roughly). At the same time “real life” footage with a lot of textures might require much lower quantizers, especially in dark scenes. Nevertheless material with few textures, like Anime and Cartoons, can cope with much higher quantizers. A quantizer of 22 seems to be reasonable for most purposes. Using a quantizer higher than 32 will result in almost unwatchable video. Using a quantizer lower than 16 usually is overkill, except for mastering purposes. Nevertheless a quantizer setting in the range between 16 and 32 should give satisfactory results in most cases. Furthermore the quantizer setting highly depends on contents of your video. Remarks: Choosing the proper quantizer setting for a CRF (or QP) encode is not trivial! That's because visual quality is highly subjective: What some people consider “good quality” other people will consider “horrible quality” - and vice versa. This should give approximately the same file size as before, but better visual quality! Another important advantage of CRF mode is that it will benefit from adaptive quantization, something that QP mode can't do. When switching from QP to CRF mode, you may want to slightly lower the quantizer. It's recommended to prefer CRF mode over QP mode, although CRF is a bit slower. ![]() Therefore the CRF mode should give the same subjective quality as QP mode, but it usually achieves a significant higher compression. For example it will raise the quantizers in “fast” scenes where the loss won't be visible anyway and lower the quantizers in “slow” scenes. The advantage of the CRF mode is that it suits the human perception much better than the QP mode. ![]() Internally CRF mode uses the same ratecontrol algorithm as x264's ABR mode, only without a target bitrate. To be more precise, this mode encodes at a constant “rate factor”, which is derived from the specified quantizer. It basically works similar to the QP Mode (see above), but it will encode with an average quantizer instead of a constant one. Single Pass - Constant Rate Factor: This mode is also known as the “CRF Mode” or “Constant Quality” mode. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of taking up to a year’s maternity leave as many new mothers choose to do, Dawn went straight back to work and her feet have still not really touched the ground.Īnd the past 12 months, she admits, have been, without doubt, the busiest of her life. “People do warn you how tough it is being a working mother but you never really know until it is happening to you,” she says.

This was so serious doctors advised her to have a caesarean section but complications also meant she was forced to be written out of Wild at Heart early and dash home for the birth. She had been diagnosed with placenta praevia, a condition where the placenta grows over the opening of the cervix, making natural birth difficult. So it is no great surprise Dawn struggled as her pregnancy had not gone according to plan. “Four weeks after having Coco, I thought to myself, ‘This is supposed to be amazing and I am not enjoying it at all.’” “It is like Chinese water torture!” exclaims the actress.

"Wild at Heart": Plot (03:18) FREE PREVIEWĬinema cannot be put into words. ![]() ![]() If you like what you see, install it on bare metal and enjoy that user-friendly take on Arch Linux. Download an ISO of EndeavorOS Apollo and spin up a virtual machine to kick the tires. If you're looking for an operating system that can grow in complexity as your skillset grows, you could do a lot worse than this. Even as a virtual machine (with limited resources), apps open very quickly and perform even better than I expected.Īll in all, EndeavorOS is an outstanding entry to the Linux desktop distribution community. And as far as performance, it doesn't matter if you go with a lightweight desktop or a full-blown environment like KDE, EndeavorOS performs like a champ. I also found EndeavorOS to be just as stable as Arch Linux (which is saying something, given how rock solid Arch is), no matter which desktop environment I chose. Everything I needed could be done via a simple to use GUI. In fact, during my entire review period of EndeavorOS, I didn't open the terminal window for a single command. You might think because it's based on Arch Linux, that using EndeavorOS would require working with the command-line interface (CLI). It's been a long time since I've come across a Linux distribution that couldn't be easily adopted by users of any skill level and EndeavorOS follows down that same path. Modern Linux distributions have managed to kick that concern to the curb. For a lot of people, Manjaro is undoubtedly the best Arch-based distro currently available and we happen to feel the same way. Once upon a time, reviewing Linux distributions was all about how easy they could be adopted by new users. ![]()

![]() Validation ensures that the data is valid.I personally do not need backup software. Although uncommon, sometimes the backup files get corrupted. Validation: Some backup software can validate your backups, to ensure the data that is stored in the backups is the same as the original data. For instance, you can sync a folder between your work computer and your home computer at the end of each day, to keep them identical. Synchronization: Synchronization keeps an exact copy of files in two locations. Speed Limiting: Some software lets you control how fast it backs up to network locations, since this can sometimes overwhelm your available bandwidth. Priority Setting: Does the backup software let you adjust the CPU priority, so it doesn’t slow down your computer while backups are running? This can be used to execute common computer tasks, such as shutting the computer down or ejecting a CD drive. Pre/Post Commands: With some backup software, you can run commands before (and after) the backup is scheduled to run. This is particularly useful if the backup software encounters errors. A passphrase is used to decrypt the backup, which will be needed at restore time.Įmail Notifications: Some backup software can send email notifications, letting you know the status of the backups. Scheduling: Scheduling the backup, so that it runs automatically without user intervention.Ĭompression: Compressing the backup can save hard drive space, but increases the time to perform the backup.Įncryption: Encryption protects the backup from unauthorized users accessing the data. Differential backups restore faster than incremental type backups, since only two backup media are needed to complete the restore. However, they take longer to restore, since the backup software has to process all the previous incrementals in the chain.ĭifferential: A type of backup that only backs up changes since the last full backup. ![]() Incremental backups save hard drive space. Incremental: A type of backup that only backs up changes since the last backup. More Features to Look Forįile & Folder Backup: Can the software backup files and folders?įull Disk Imaging: Some backup software can make full disk images of your hard drive, which can restore your system to the exact state it was in when the backup was made. It’s optional, and there only for users that wish to use it. Others offer their own proprietary cloud storage, which is typically offered as a subscription with a monthly fee attached. With the popularity of online backup services, some backup software can also backup to the cloud, such as Amazon S3 and Google Drive. Some software takes it a step further, with the ability to backup to online locations such as FTP and SFTP. Some backup software can burn your backups to CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs. This almost always includes external hard drives, USB flash drives, and network locations. Where Can Backup Software Backup To?īackup software can backup to a variety of locations, but it usually depends on the features of the program. This also cuts down on the time to run the backup, although it increases the time to restore it. Incremental backups only save changes since the last backup, thereby saving hard drive space. The ability to run incremental-type backups is another important feature to look for. With scheduled backups, you can go about your daily life, without having to remember to backup your files. You should also look for backup software that allows scheduling, so backups can be run automatically. It’s important to choose backup software that is easy to use, since nobody wants to be fumbling with their backups when they’ve suffered data loss. ![]() If customer data is lost due to unforeseen circumstances, it can cause the company to lose money, credibility, and in many cases, go out of business. It’s also important for businesses to backup their data. People that have family photos and other important documents should make use of backup software. Who Should Use Backup Software?Įverybody that cares about their data should be backing it up regularly. Backup software can help protect your precious files when disaster strikes. It’s not a matter of if your hard drive crashes – it’s when. You just install it, set it up, and then forget about it, as it runs your backup jobs on a regular basis.īacking up is important, no doubt about it. Backup software can automatically backup your data, so you don’t have to remember to copy your files to a separate hard drive. ![]() Data loss can occur for any number of reasons, from an accidentally deleted file, to a hard drive crash, to viruses, and more. It does this by creating copies of your files, which can be restored in the event of a disaster. Backup software is used to protect your computer from data loss. ![]() ![]() ![]() If your download speed is way below your subscribed speed, try disconnecting other devices from your wifi or network and check the speed again. To check how fast your internet connection is at the moment, you can go to. Anything slower than that may result in buffering or poor Twitch performance. Make sure that you have a sustained 5Mbps download speed if you’re planning on watching HD games. The state of your internet connection at home can also be the reason why your Twitch app may be lagging. To check if there’s an on-going issue with the Twitch servers, visit the official website. In many cases, buffering, lagging, or stuttering issues when streaming or watching on Twitch is caused by an outage, maintenance, or technical issues from the server side of things. Twitch services are always up, unless they’re not. If you’re experiencing lagging, stuttering, or freezing issues when watching games or shows on the Windows Twitch app, these are the solutions that can potentially help. How to fix Twitch app lagging or buffering issues? If you mainly watch your games on the Windows Twitch app and not on a web browser, this guide will show you the fixes that you can try to fix the issue. It varies from app to app whether you can broadcast and chat, or just browse and view.Some players are complaining that they can’t seem to use Twitch app properly because it keeps lagging, freezing, or stuttering on them. Twitch apps are also available for some gaming consoles. Twitch has apps for many devices including mobile apps for Android and iOS devices, through which you can browse and search channels, watch live-streams and participate in chat away from your computer. ![]() You can go to the site on your computer, gaming console or mobile devices via web browsers or dedicated Twitch apps. There are lots of ways to access Twitch and view its content. The videos are deleted after a few days to save space unless the owner marks a video as "Save Forever." If you are watching someone else's channel, you can even create a bookmark, which gives you a link to get back to whatever spot you bookmarked, provided the video is still saved. Twitch will only archive video of game broadcasts if the channel owner selects "Archive Broadcasts" in their settings. You can find live streams or archived videos. The site makes it easy to browse and search by channel or game title. Under "Settings," you can set your profile information, choose what displays when you aren't live, choose to have all of your broadcasts archived, set security and notification settings and view and control links to and from third-party sites and software, among other things. ![]() If your screen is small, the navigation links might appear as icons. From any of these pages you should see the left-hand navigation bar down the page, with links to a lot of the same things, plus "Following" (channels you are following) and "Subscriptions" (channels for which you've purchased subscriptions). ![]() All except the latter take you to some part of your account. Once you log in, you can click on your username at the top right-hand corner of the main page and choose "Channel," "Profile," "Dashboard," "Messages" or "Settings," or log out. This level of interaction between broadcasters and viewers, and viewers and other viewers, makes Twitch a more social experience than simply watching videos of someone play a game. You can also send private message to other users. Many broadcasters respond to chats out loud, and some may even participate in and live-stream matches with some of their viewers. You can see a running stream of people's messages and can even participate yourself. There's a navigation bar to the left, and a chat window to the right, unless you've expanded the video and obscured it. ![]() |
