Rotate A Video 90 Degrees With VLC

Have you ever captured video with your cell phone or camcorder only to discover when you play it back on your computer that the video is rotated 90 degrees? Or maybe you shot it that way on purpose because you preferred portrait style to a landscape view? Before you go straining your neck or flipping your monitor on it’s side to watch your video, here is the method how you can view it correctly in your computer screen.

If you simply want to rotate the video while you watch it, I am showing you how to accomplish that with VLC Media Player.

Rotate and Watch a Video in VLC

At First, Download, install, and run VLC Media Player.

Open your video file by going to Media > Open File… and browsing for your file. Or, by just dragging and dropping your video onto the VLC player.

Choose Tools from the Menu bar and select Effects and Filters.

On the Video Effects tab, tick the Transform checkbox and choose your degrees of rotation. The video is rotated counter-clockwise, so to rotate clockwise 90 degrees you’ll want to choose Rotate by 270 degrees.

Now you can enjoy your video the way it was intended to be viewed.

What is hiberfil.sys ?

Windows has two power management modes that you can choose from: one is Sleep Mode, which keeps the PC running in a low power state so you can almost instantly get back to what you were working on. The other is Hibernate mode, which completely writes the memory out to the hard drive, and then powers the PC down entirely, so you can even take the battery out, put it back in, start back up, and be right back where you were.

Hibernate mode uses the hiberfil.sys file to store the the current state (memory) of the PC, and since it’s managed by Windows, you can’t delete the file.

Disable Hibernate / Delete hiberfil.sys in Windows 7 or Vista

You’ll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking on the command prompt in the start menu, and then choosing Run as Administrator. Once you’re there, type in the following command:

powercfg -h off

You should immediately notice that the Hibernate option is gone from the Shut down menu. You’ll also notice that the file is magically gone!

Disabling Hibernate Mode in Windows XP

It’s a lot easier in Windows XP to get rid of Hibernate mode. Just head into Control Panel –> Power Options, and then find the Hibernate tab. Uncheck the box, reboot your PC, and then you can delete the hiberfil.sys file.

How To Completely Disable Subtitles In VLC ?

If you watch a lot of videos using VLC, you might have noticed that it enables subtitles by default if they are there, which can be pretty annoying at times. Here’s the quick tip to disable them entirely.

Of course, you can always turn them back on if you want on an individual video basis.

Disable Subtitles

Head into the VLC preferences, and then click the All button at the bottom of the screen.

On the left-hand side, choose Video –> Subtitles/OSD, and then uncheck the boxes for “Autodetect subtitle files”, Enable sub-pictures, and On Screen Display. That should do it, unless the subtitles are forced in the video for some reason.

Note: Certain video formats like MKV can sometimes have subtitles enabled even though there isn’t a separate subtitles file. This is why you need to remove “Enable sub-pictures” as well, which totally disables the on-screen text. You can choose to only uncheck the autodetecting of subtitles instead if you’d prefer.

And of course, you can simply right-click on the video, head to Video –> Subtitles Track and then choose the subtitles if you still wanted them.

Note: this only works if the “enable sub-pictures” option is still enabled.

Solution to "Your System Is Low On Virtual Memory" Problem.

I’m going to tell you how to resolve this problem in Windows XP and Windows 7.

 

Most people know how to fix this problem inside of Windows XP, as under Windows XP, it’s well documented on many sites. The steps are quite simple: 

• Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
• In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
• In the Performance pane, click Settings.
• In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
• In the Virtual memory pane, click Change.
• Change the Initial size value and the Maximum size value to a higher value, click Set, and then click OK.
• Click OK to close the Performance Options dialog box, and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box. 

For Windows 7 follow these steps: 

• Open Computer up and hit the System Properties button, or Right Click on computer and hit Properties, or even still, go to the Control Panel and open the System button
• Then on the left hand side, there’s a button marked Advanced System Settings
• On the popup that opens, make sure you’re on the Advanced tab, then hit the button marked Settings under the Performance subsection
• After that, hit the Advanced tab on that new popup, then hit the Change button for the Virtual Memory sub-section
• Finally, once here, uncheck the “Automatically Manage Paging” option and increase the size manually. 

Note: If you reduce your page file because you want to regain space, you will run into fatal errors and things acting up. If you are not having any problems with Virtual Memory, DO NOT TOUCH IT.

ALZip : A Freeware for unzipping All Zip files

Unlike other unzipping programs, such as 7zip, which uses a folder with the letter that compares to the file type (Z, for zip, 7 for 7z, R for RAR, etc) and WinRAR (which uses a standard set of books), ALZip uses eggs.

What’s really nice about this program, ALZip is the fact that it handles so much in the ways of files on top of it’s cuteness. ALZip is a file compression program that can unzip 40 different zip file archives. It supports ZIP, 7Z, RAR, EGG, TAR, TBZ, LZH, Z, JAR, ALZ, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BHX, BIN, BZ, BZ2, CAB, EAR, ENC, GZ, HA, HQX, ICE, IMG, LHA, MIM, NRG, PAK, TBZ2, TGZ, UUE, UU, WAR, XXE, ISO, LCD, ZOO, for uncompressed and compresses to ZIP, EGG, ALZ, TAR, TBZ, TGZ, LZH, JAR. Yes, you read it right, it compresses to EGG. That would be the new 8.0 alpha that just got released that supports that format, and it’s basically an ultra compressed ZIP file. It’s interface is also darned easy to understand, to say the least, it’s impossible to get lost in the interface.
