whats a good lightweight program for capturing screen video and sound? I'd been using vclip just for excerpting little sections of youtubes or whatever but I've found the sound desyncs if you go longer than a minute or so, even on my new comp

I use OBS Studio Tips if you use it: 1. Leave the canvas resolution as your desktop's resolution. You want to change "output resolution" if you want the video to be in a lower resolution than your desktop. 2. The default video setting is "Software (x264) low CPU usage preset, increases file size". If you have a graphics card, you probably want "Hardware (NVENC, HEVC)". The hardware options will make your graphics card do the video processing instead of the CPU. HEVC is a synonym for x265, a codec released in 2013 which allows a smaller file size for the same quality, processor usage, and processing time.

The best option would be to use youtube-dl and video editor, but that could be an annoying extra hassle if you only want small section of the video.

Yeah OBS is good to. If you're going to download I def prefer JDownloader 2 as my app of choice. It's fantastic for downloading from YT et al.

Weird, I thought the beef was about YouTube being in the name or something. Yeah, that seems better option. I was aware of the issue but couldn't remember what was the current choice and got confused by the name.

Why not use shadowplay, unless you're looking for something that works like snipping tool but for video

Windows 10 and later has Shadowplay functionality just built in with 'Game Bar'. It's actually quite good and provides better general performance and frame pacing vs Shadowplay.

yeah i kind of want a snipping tool thing, not to record my whole desktop by default. like vclip is good if i want to instantly drag a box around a youtube video and save 20 seconds of it and post it to twitter without it being too big, it just falls apart once the video starts getting much longer

I record games I play and it's just click to set beginning and click to set ending and boom, you have a clip. With VLC I had to watch the whole thing I wanted to clip. https://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

I have a game with no audio, and after some playing around I'm convinced the reason is it's binding to the wrong audio device. With no in-game option to change it. Is there some ways in Windows to force it to use a different audio device, or maybe wrap the launcher so it only sees the one I want? Google is not helping.

Just a wild guess but video cards usually have audio passthrough that can be enabled by default or per application. Worth testing it both with and without it. Some games show it as an option in the sound settings. Should be accessible through your video cards settings, such as Nvidia control panel. E: maybe also GeForce Experience or whatever the AMD version is but those are slow and painful to navigate. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 14:40 on May 21, 2023 |

Right-Click on the speaker icon in the system tray, select Sound settings. In there, you can see which is the default sound device windows is using in the top drop-down list. All the way down in the Sound settings window, there are extended sound options which allow you to assign a sound device to each app (or the default one from the drop down list, see above). If you have your game running in the background, it show up here as well. Make sure it's using a sound device that is actually connected, and not, for instance, your HDMI audio output.

Probably dumb question, but here goes. I have an Access database to document data about patients we work with (health department). This info could easily have been put into an Excel spreadsheet which anyone can use, but for some reason my boss did it in Access. Anyway, I need to add a new Tab within the database table. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. See the pic below for what I'm talking about :

What do you mean by adding a new tab? Do want to create a new table, e.g. based on this one? You can copy and paste the table in the list on the left.

To make a new one, right-click the name of the table in the list on the left (it's highlighted red in your screenshot) > Copy. Then either right click > Paste or Ctrl-V and it should give you a dialog to Paste Table As. You can give it a name and choose if you want to copy the data or just the structure. You can then double-click it to open in a new tab. E: Kinda beaten

Oh, I'm sure a database is more useful in a data management sense, but I assure you that it's being used purely in the manner you could duplicate in Excel. Nobody is running reports or anything. This is used purely to track when each patient's last exam was, and whether or not they've been sent a reminder postcard. We have no in-office IT folks, so as one of the younger Nurses, and the only one who knows anything about computers, I get nominated for everything from managing data files like this to hooking up the laptop to the projector for our quarterly meetings. I use an Excel spreadsheet for a similar tracking purpose and it works just fine.

I have our team using Microsoft Lists for a general caseload management solution. It's basically a front end to an Excel document that's easier to set up for less expert users and is more pleasant to use.

I'm playing sound from my line in to my speakers (using "Listen to this device" in the Line in's properties in the sound control panel) but it's quiet. I'd like to make it louder without increasing the volume of any of my apps. How could I do that? This would presumably be the same procedure as if it were a microphone, if that makes it easier. I can also choose what playback device it goes to, so if there's some app that adds another virtual playback device which is just your speakers but louder, that would also work.

Is there a way to remove or bypass the password/login screen for Windows (both 10 and 11) that is linked to a Microsoft account for Office 365? I have tried disabling Windows Hello, removing PIN (which only made me scramble to find my Microsoft password), and editing the registry. FWIW, both machines are never going to leave my home, so I just want them to boot without any interaction from me. My W11 laptop is the more important concern because it now shuts down when I try to wake it after it goes to sleep. That's a whole other can of worms that I haven't attempted to fix yet. I suspect that my laptop is a bit broken, because this only started happening after I managed to squish a USB dongle into the port that is right next to the power button and had to get it out with some pliers. All of the guides/videos that I have found don't seem to work. Any help? Or flame me for being stupid and missing something obvious is okay with me.

Or at least, not the Office part of it. I had O365 for a while and have never done MS accounts. Maybe onedrive need it.

If not, no worries - you have been extremely helpful. edit: figured it out for W11. I had to change a registry entry to allow the tick box to show up. Thanks again.

I'm being informed via a popup on my work laptop that windows 11 22h2 is here and would I like to opt-in. would I like to opt-in? I'm currently running windows 11 21h2. I could ask IT but IT is busy with the other 150k employees at my company's business and I'd rather just quietly decide for myself. I took a quick look at the known issues for 22h2 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-22h2 and didn't see anything super concerning, but I don't trust Microsoft to list stuff that I'd care about like "we took away a feature you were using" or "with this update you won't be able to use an external monitor over HDMI any more" or some poo poo I don't know
