New Tutorial: Convert FLV to MP4 No Quality Lost, No Re-Encoding, No Audio/Video Sync Issues
by ViciousXUSMC on Jan.21, 2013, under Computer, Gaming, Guides
Targeted primarily for XSplit users that save a local copy of live streams. You get a long .FLV file that you can’t edit in your favorite editing programs like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. So what do you do? You need to change the video to a format the editor will work with. Problem here is 98% of the people that do that are encoding the video to do it and losing quality in the video as well as wasting time. The other 2% that were technical enough to know how to demux/remux the files into a new container were usually plagued with sync issues.
Well here is the tutorial on how to fix all those issues, of course with 100% free programs and an easy to follow step by step video guide.

Let’s Play Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) for Super Famicom
by ViciousXUSMC on Jul.05, 2011, under Computer, Gaming
I have finished the entire Duke Nukem Forever game and it’s time to pick the next game to be featured for LP. I decided to go back to a blast from the past and play this 1995 Squaresoft classic RPG. This is truly the golden age of gaming and while its not a new game I am hoping since this was never released in America that I am showing you something you have never seen before despite its old age.
Even if you have heard or seen it before nothing can beat the nostalgia of visiting some of the best old school classics from back in the day.
Everyone please enjoy Let’s Play Secret of Mana 2
