The bar just want to stop a couple rotations too soon. It made the door easier to lift, and even slightly difficult to close - but the "top" position never changed. What am I overlooking? I can't believe both of these spring bars had the same failure at the same time, so I'm guessing I've done something wrong.Įdit to add: On both the original spring bar and the swap, I also tried increasing the tension above the normal setting for my door. It will only open to 5 or 5.5 feet any higher and the spring bar doesn't rotate to take up the support cables. I disassembled both bars and re-assembled the door with the opener. The other (non-powered) door still worked fine. Thinking that maybe I had damaged the spring somehow, today I decided to swap Torquemaster bars between my two doors. I haven't been able to find any description online for this issue. After un-tensioning, re-checking everything, and re-tensioning the spring, I had the same result. It's as if the spring bar didn't want to rotate the last turn or two. If I lifted the door any further by hand, the spring bar did not rotate I was only taking the weight off the cables. Once I re-tensioned the spring, the door opened for me manually - but stopped about 12" short of fully open. The following weekend, I de-tensioned the Torquemaster and disassembled the spring bar from the door supports, untangling the support cables and putting everything back together. I ended up having to disengage the iDrive, disconnect the support cables, and manually lower the door. This took tension off the cables, which promptly got tangled in the mechanism. Because the iDrive was still engaged (though powered off), the spring bar could not rotate, so I was lifting the door weight by hand. Unfortunately, while trying to get into the garage, I had lifted the door several inches manually. On later investigation, I found that the power cord, which was mounted to ceiling, had fallen partially, and the opening door had unplugged the opener.

Now, usually, I go to the salon to cover any gray hair and touch up my natural hair. I do a lot of highlights and that requires a hair person. Highlighting from home is basically like lighting your checkbook on fire (do people have checkbooks anymore? I’m showing my age.) because of all the corrections you are likely gonna have to do when it goes horribly wrong.īut red- ok now red is a different story. Red washes out in weeks, sometimes even days after you put it in your hair. Hate your red? No problem, your red hates your red and it will go if you have the patience. But after 3 months of paying $120 to a salon every 4 weeks to keep up with my red, I did something I haven’t done in 10 years- I picked up a box of artificial dye.įirst, I used Feria Red Copper INTENSE. It was super bright, but again, all good things come to an end and the artificial color eventually faded. Here is the day of the dye and then 4 weeks after. On my next visit to Walgreens, which was last Friday, I thought “Hmm, let me try something BRIGHTER, more RED than copper. I can handle copper pretty well so why not red?” It did fade to a pretty color but I really missed the bright glow of it. In all fairness, it looked just like the box, but after a day or two, I realized didn’t match my skin tone or ANY of my clothes.

Different codecs handle the compression process differently-you may find one format and codec struggles with your particular video while another retains more detail.Ģ. Keep in mind that not every video may be suited to each format. Save your video: Save the newly compressed video to your device and verify the reduction in file size.Export your video: During the export process, select your desired format and codec.Choose a new format and codec: Opt for a more compressed format like MP4 with the H.265 (HEVC) codec, which is known for its high compression and good video quality.Popular choices include Handbrake, iMovie, and Descript. Open a video editing program: Load your video file into video editing software.Locate your video file: Find the video you want to compress on your device.To convert a video to another format in a video editing program, follow these steps: This particular format is well-regarded because of its high compression, good video quality, and high compatibility. For example, a popular video format for online use is MP4 (or MPEG-4) using the H.265 (HEVC) codec. How to compress a video by converting the video formatĬonverting your video to another format may shave down its size. Now that you know what makes a video file so big, we’ll share five different tutorials you can use to compress videos. Think of it as using different mathematical methods to solve the same problem. Different codecs, including lossless codecs and lossy codecs, handle compression in different ways. The codec is held within the container and is responsible for applying the compression. People often refer to the container as the "file format." Common examples of a container would be MP4 and MOV file types. There are two key elements of a video file during the encoding process: Selecting an efficient video codec in your video editor, like H.264, often leads to high-quality videos with reduced file sizes. Some video formats and codecs compress data more efficiently. EncodingĮncoding is the process of compressing video files into a specific file type like AVI, MOV, WMV, or MPEG. CBR maintains a consistent rate for the duration of the video, whereas VBR will adjust the rate depending on the complexity of the video from moment to moment. You can encode a video using constant bitrate (CBR) or variable bitrate (VBR). At the other end of the spectrum, lower bitrates can transfer less data, resulting in smaller files. In general, higher bitrates can transfer more data per second, resulting in higher video quality, but also larger video files. It’s typically measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), or megabits per second (Mbps). Bitrateīitrate is the amount of data being transferred at a given time. Multiply that by the number of frames per second-commonly between 24 and 60 frames per second-and you can see why uncompressed video files are so large. Each pixel contains unique data about its color and brightness. That video has over 2 million pixels per frame. A 1080p high-definition video, for example, is 1,920 pixels wide and 1,080 pixels tall. When people refer to a video in terms of “1080p” or “4K,” they’re referencing the video’s resolution. Resolution is the actual size, in pixels, of your video image. That way, you can avoid quality loss and save storage space. Understanding how they work lets you compress video files without compromising the visual appeal. There are three core elements that determine the size of a video file: the video resolution, the bitrate, and the encoding method. There are a few different video codecs-all responsible for compressing (and decompressing) the video in unique ways. You do this using codec software, which decides what information is required for the video to maintain its quality and what information can be discarded. Video compression is the process of reducing video file size while still retaining the necessary video data.

There's no news yet as to if and when Outbreak will be added to the PS4 build but we've asked Daybreak for comment and will update if we hear back. H1Z1 on PC recently went free-to-play in order to combat a falling player base, but the similarly free PS4 version seems to be doing rather well. Players parachute onto a large map, where they must quickly scavenge for guns, ammunition, and armor. A previous Combat Update aimed at improving the original gameplay was released last year but was met with criticism from players. H1Z1: BATTLE ROYALE is the console version of the popular PC game H1Z1, a battle royale-style game in which up to 100 players gradually converge with the goal of being the last player (or team) standing. These include new animations and a more responsive system, along with some classic audio cues. The new map, which is exclusive to the PC version, measures 8x8 square kilometers and features familiar locations such as Rancho Taquito, Pleasant Valley and Cranberry.Īlso included in the update are changes to the gameplay mechanics that aim to bring back the classic feel of H1Z1. The new map, Outbreak is based on H1Z1's original Z1 map that was removed from the game over a year ago.Ī return to the original map has been high on the list of requests from H1Z1's dwindling fanbase and while Outbreak isn't a direct copy, it is a faithful recreation that includes signature landmarks from the game's original map. “Outbreak will launch first on PC, where our community has been eagerly anticipating it for some time, but we're open to bringing it to PS4 in the future.”īattle royale game H1Z1 has just launched a huge update that brings with it a brand new map and a raft of enhancements to the core mechanics. H1Z1 Producer, Terrence Yee had this to say: Updated story (June 28th): We've heard back from Daybreak regarding the possibility of the new map launching on PS4. Wells was on a trip from Haskell, Oklahoma to visit a friend in Bergen, New Jersey when she disappeared in April 1994. She stopped at the Pike Motel in the 1100 block of Harrisburg Pike in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on April 12 and called her friend from there at 7:00 p.m. She said she was going to eat at a McDonald's restaurant, then would go to her motel room to take a nap. The friend offered to meet her at the motel and said she would be there by around midnight. Wells has a prior criminal conviction for forgery in South Dakota. After speaking to her friend, at 8:00 p.m., Wells went to the front desk of the motel and asked the staff for directions to the nearest McDonald's. She was unemployed and the single parent of a baby son in 1994. They saw her leave and get into her rental vehicle, a white 1993 Plymouth Acclaim with Oklahoma license plates. Shortly after midnight on April 13, her friend went to the motel to meet her as planned, but there was no answer when she knocked on the door of her room. The friend summoned a clerk, they went into the room and the clerk let her in with the master key. Wells wasn't in the room, and all her belongings were there, including her room key. Her suitcase was sitting open on the bed and some of her clothes were lying next to it, and there was a magazine and a pack of cigarettes on the bedside table, but the bed itself didn't appear to have been slept in and there was no sign of Wells.Īt 5:30 a.m. that same day, Wells's rental car was found abandoned in a rural area on Route 274, in Perry County, Pennsylvania, near Tuscarora State Park. It appeared to have stopped in its tracks in the westbound lane. The driver's and passenger side doors were wide open, the vehicle was out of gas, the hazard lights were switched on and the battery was dead. Some empty soda bottles, a pair of shoes, maps and some trash from a Hardee's fast food meal, including French fries, were inside the car. There was a small amount of marijuana in the car, as well as other unspecified "indications of criminal activity". Wells's change purse, containing a small amount of cash, was in a nearby ditch.Īuthorities checked the odometer on the car and discovered it had been driven 600 to 700 miles that couldn't be accounted for. The car itself was mud-splattered and scratched, suggesting someone had driven it off-road. Photos of the car are posted with this case summary.Īround Thanksgiving in 1994, the wife of Wells's married boyfriend claimed she had heard from her. Wells allegedly called the woman and said she had gotten married and wouldn't be coming home. This story hasn't been confirmed, and police don't believe Wells actually made the telephone call. She was unemployed and the single parent of a baby son in 1994. Her mother stated she was handling her life well and loved her child, who was subsequently raised by his grandparents. It's uncharacteristic of Wells to leave without warning. Her family has had her declared legally dead. Police have not named any suspects in her case, but stated they believed some of the people they interviewed knew more than they disclosed.
