How to enable mpeg4/h264 hardware acceleration for free
Posted by: grumpyboy // Category: networkingI follwed these instuctions and my cpu went from 30-50 percent to 10 percent when playing 1080p content.
First of all, you have to grab some stuff from the internet. You’ll need these: 1. CCCP pack 2. FFdshow 3. Haali (All from their original websites. Use the “free-codecs” FFdshow.)
Install CCCP without installing ffdshow and haali. Unselect them at the install screen. Now, install ffdshow (You may want to enable subtitle support and disable deblocking (its at the bottom, under “Tweaks”)), haali. Use the basic settings, you shouldn’t adjust anything unless you know what you are doing.
Now, start Media Player Classic HC. Go to Options (View->Options). (Here, I usually select the “Remember last window size, position” and uncheck the “Auto-zoom” at the “Playback” part, but that’s only because I love Smplayer’s behaviour).
This one will depend on the OS. If you use XP, select VMR9 (renderless). If you’ve got Vista+, use EVR Custom Pres. ** (Reduce EVR buffers to the lowest possible value).
At Internal Filters (right), select: H264/AVC (DXVA), H264/AVC (FFmpeg), VC1 (DXVA), VC1 (FFmpeg).
Go to External Filters. Click on “Add Filter…” and select ffdshow Video Decoder. At right, select “Block”.
Finally, go to “Playback” (left ‘tree view’) and select “Auto-load subtitles”. Click OK, restart MPC-HC and see if it works.
Drives Snapshot is totally free, and works perfect.

Display Wireless Networks near you using command prompt
Posted by: grumpyboy // Category: networkingUsed this because Netstumbler does not work with Windows 7
Open command prompt
And type
netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid
And press enter
If you use Windows 7 Sticky Notes.
Your notice it uses up space on your taskbar.
And theres NO option to force the program to live in the systray instead.
Unless you use this program
I had some issues recently getting windows xp and windows 7 to work using dual boot.
So I decided to try BootitNG.
It installs a very useful mini operating system (you need 8 mb free on one of your disks)
That boots before anything else.
It has a graphical user interface and is very easy to use.
You add and remove OS entries from its boot menu with just a few clicks of the mouse.
You can also use it to create, resize and delete partitions.
