How to recognize the quality of a divx

Sometimes, the name of a file divx contains acronyms that seem to throw them at random, but in reality, they identify the quality of the file that we have in our hands. Since it is a very useful thing, I show you the list tags that are used to their explanations:

* Cam Video Tags: Video captured on camera in the room (low quality).
* TS Telesync. Video taken with a fixed camera in the room (just enough quality).
* Scr: Usually in 4 / 3, taken from promotional VHS (average quality).
* TC: telecine. Video taken from telecine machine (good quality).
* DVDRip: Video from DVD source.
* DVDScr: Video source from promotional DVD, with the presence of watermarks or scenes in B / N. * DVDScreener
: old tag used to identify a screener DVD with video and audio MD. Today we use DVDRip.MD tag them.

Audio Tags

* MD: Mic Dubbed. Audio taken in the dining room through a microphone (quality varies widely, depending on various factors).
* LD: Line Dubbed. Audio jack obtained from direct camera.
* DD: Digital Dubbed. DTS Audio discs derived from cinema. With the advent of next-generation discs DTS2 produce this type of audio is no longer possible.

Edit PDFs with Linux: PDFEdit







PDF PDF format is a sort of Double Edged Sword of the computer world: it ensures the consistency of layout on multiple platforms and systems, but is only editable using Adobe Acrobat, a commercial software that not everyone can afford, fortunately, the situation could change with the world of libre software , who has borne a large application with editing capabilities.

PDFedit is not the first tool for GNU / Linux can change. Pdf file but it is arguably the first truly usable, that does not use shortcuts to get his results, although it reached only to version 0.2 .5, PDFedit is already a practical solution for manipulating pages and text in PDF files and can save changes directly, without passing through temporary PostScript file or the like. With

PDFedit you can edit the text, rotate it, including new font and in general perform all those small changes that may be required after the creation of a PDF file, partly because of young age, the application shows a variety of limitations, both in terms of functionality (not recommended for large-scale operations editing) and the out graphic / functional: the crashes are not uncommon and the interface is at least eccentric. Despite this PDFedit is definitely one of those projects to watch.
