Hatshepsut
There's a 2 hour Discovery Channel special on her going on right now. I'm recording it so if anyone is interested, sing out.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Okay. I have to edit it yet. It was two hours and I doubt that just dividing it will make it small enough for Pando.

I have no idea. I usually use something called DVD Shrink to convert it to digital.
Is there some other program that would work.
I've finished editing and dividing the movie. It's copying to a DVD+RW right now.

Their rational for why the "screaming mummy" looked the way it did was pretty lame. Rigor mortis or not, if the person was important enough to justify mumification they would have been positioned according to the standard of the time. The position of the body is puzzle-ing, but to say the position of the body is evidence of a violent death is baloney. I would like to know more about the wound to the head tho.

Careless embalmers of a royal servant?
Ready with Part 1. Rokcet, let me know if it works.

Rigor Mortis sets in about 3-4 hours after death, and stops again after 72 hours. We may assume Pharaoh's embalmers knew that they would just have to wait.Mayonaze wrote:Their rational for why the "screaming mummy" looked the way it did was pretty lame.

Guess when they figured out that it wasn't the mummy they were looking for, they dropped the ball (so to speak). I too would like to know more about her. It was probably the most interesting part of the show. Fortunately I taped it so I can go back and review the parts I missed when I dozed off .Mayonaze wrote:Their rational for why the "screaming mummy" looked the way it did was pretty lame.

BTW, it will be shown again tonight on the Science Channel at 9 p.m. (if you get that one)

Windows Media Player Classic plays VOB and MOV files, find it online as a free download. It takes less time to download and install than convert a huge file.Rokcet Scientist wrote:Got the .VOB file in. But none of my players reads it. I'm now trying to convert it to Quicktime (.mov) with ffmpegX. But that's gonna take a while obviously (if it works at all). Anyway, at least ffmpegX 'saw' the .VOB file!

That sounds like good advice. The second upload is going very slowly.

I had to shut down Part II. It was crawling and we have t-storms in the area.
I shut my computer down for a while.
I'll restart tomorrow.
