As Time Goes By…

Do you remember the first decade of Internet? Some of you were to young or not even born. Internet boomed in the middle of 90’s. I used Internet for the first time 1995. I was going in school and we had 486 and Pentiums connected to the Internet. It was really slow and that’s why chats like IRC was to prefer. It was a time of pranks and anarchy but after downloaded low-res photos of Pamela Andersson 1000 times we were really serious. The IRC platform were great for chatting with other nerds as well as arrange spontaneous parties. Soon Mirabilis ICQ become popular, but IRC never died. You can still use and enjoy IRC.

A blast from the past!

Do you remember old VirtualDub? For 20 years ago it was the perfect tool for trimming AVI and sometimes MPEG4. In this video I do a clean install of VirtualDub2 64-bit in Windows 11. Then I also do the tricky MPEG4 trim. Actually it’s easier now since the MPEG4 support is built in. I recommend to install K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1760_Full before installing VirtualDub2.
