Yay! New Toy!

Yesterday, some kind soul who I now cannot remember Thanks topaz119!!! told me about a software program I hadn't heard about before. It's called VirtualDub. This amazing piece of technology let's you take an mpeg file, and it will pull out & save the audio! Easy!

Any video you have a song of, you can open in this program, and with a couple clicks of your mouse you can have a .wav file of the audio! Then any normal music program (MusicMatch, in my case) can convert the .wav to a .mp3.

But, the best part? It has a feature that lets you change when the audio starts playing within the video. We've all seen those captured clips where the audio is way out of sync with the video. I was playing around with it this morning with my mpeg of JC & co (Matt?, Tony?, Dale?) doing an MMC music video to Live and Learn. I've almost got it synched up, where the audio matches the video. I want to play with it a bit more when I get home from work tonight.

Fun! I can't wait to go through my files and see what videos I have that I want to get mp3's for!

I won't tell you what time I staggered into the office this morning, but it was far, far FAR later than 8:30.

well that makes me feel better.

I hate mornings. They're cruel, awful inventions. If I didn't get paid hourly, I'd be late much more often than I am. As it is, if I'm an hour late in the mornings, I get paid an hour less which is something I cannot afford to do. I could make it up in the evenings, but by the time 5 o'clock rolls around the last thing I want to do is stick around the office for another hour.
