Easiest/fastest way to change container on about 200 videos?

So I have a TV series I got, my TV will not play these particular AVI files. I changed a few using FFMPEG to MKV, works great but no way I want to do this one at a time

Found an old book dated 1944 and a bunch of signatures saying "Bridge Design Gang" anyone know what it could be?

Found at an Ohio library sale. The book has nothing to do with bridges, but the inside inscription is driving me nuts about what it could be referring to

If money is no object, is botw on Switch 2 the easy choice for a first play through?

Can get a nice like new original Switch for $100, but no big deal to buy a Switch 2 because there are a few other games we want to play

Can easily run botw on the PC using Cemu at 60 fps 1440 as well but kinda like to plop on the couch and play games

All my DL are "webm" how can I change this?

So struggled for a year on/off with issues, errors but since I started using this "yt-dlp -vU --cookies-from-browser firefox" in my console I have had amazing results. DL whatever whenever

But, it does it in "webm" so afterwards I use ffmpeg to make it MKV or MP4. Anyway to change this to cut out a step?

Just how long will you play a massively popular game if you are not enjoying it?

Context of my recent games and loved, Immortals Fenyx Rising, BioShock, Titanfall 2

So first off live Red Dead Redemption 1, played it through on a 360 and later on One X. Well I am finally getting around to playing Red Dead 2 since I got my new Series X console and I am just not enjoying it. I will feel like trash if I quit but I have so many games in my back log, hate wasting time at my old age lOL

After about 5 hours play, it feels so slow, clunky and like I am just controlling a character in a movie v.s. actually playing a game. I hate that feel. How much longer would you continue?

Is there a catch to this seemingly great ATT upgrade deal for my son to switch from iPhone to Android?

So has an iPhone 15 Plus. We are on the installment like we do every 2-3 years with our phones and he owed $145

Went over to ATT and on the site is shows that we can upgrade his phone, trade the iPhone in, get a FREE Samsung Galaxy S29+ and the new Samsung earbuds for 99 cents!

Total in the cart is for the phone pay off, tax and the normal upgrade fee

Is this a good deal, is it legit, no hidden charges?

What are some of the best superhero comics of the past 50 years that shows a great balance of the superhero life and the everyday person lifestyle?

For instance, some of the Superman comics I was just reading from the Byrne era were cool, seems to show a great side of Clark and Superman with a nice balance.

On the other side of this, I read a bunch of Avengers comics in the 80's and it seemed they were always superheroes and did not show much of their other side

For a new collector, what are the best modern "classic editions" based strictly on quality?

Money no object tbh, I mean most I see that I like range from $10 to $30. I see pretty ones, ugly ones, some that look frail and some that look solid but not as pretty

Overall for moderate looks but great quality, what do you prefer for the classics in hardcover?

How to get an open IP with an ATT hot spot to make video gaming better?

We use our Netgear M1 Nighthawk hot spot for our internet. Very rural area so it is out only option, it works well but some video games it does not due to "strict nat"

Is it possible to get an open IP or fix this somehow with DMZ, DNS or other settings?

Has anyone with connection issues in D1 had success in D2 or is it the same old problem?

Just curious before I think about buying D2

I have major issues with D1 now, disconnection, cannot go to tower hardly at all. Never had an issue in 4 years of D1 play but starting late last year, got bad. I know my ATT hot spot has strict NAT but it does not effect any other games, just D1

Are the bronze age FF pretty much self contained within the FF comic run?

Started collecting and noticed books like "Super Villains Team Up" and "Two in One" and wonder how much these titles (and others I am not aware of) from early 70's into the 80's go hand and hand with the regular Fantastic Four comic line

Does Jonathan Hickman Avengers run have to be read to FULLY understand his Fantastic Four run?

So just bought a HUGE collection of Fantastic Four. I want to be totally engrossed in the stories as much as I can. I saw Hickman also did Avengers, does that have to be read to full get into his Fantastic Four run?

So give me what your typical diet was like in the 60's

I remember as a senior waking up, grabbing a few paces of bacon and off I went. Couple sandwiches and a pop or two at lunch and a big dinner of whatever mom cooked that night.

Occasionally had a few snacks from 2-5 depending on where I was or what I was doing so it could be fruit, candy bar or a Twinkie or Ho-Ho

Once I was in my mid 20's my breakfast was bigger, lunch same and dinner same or bigger

Probably anywhere from 2000-3000 calories a day from 18 years old through 20's depending on dinner size

Weekend more calories I think a lot more!

I sold 95% of my physical comic book collection, I am trying to read digital and have a difficult time, it just does not feel like the same experience for me, any advice?

Long story short, I have HUGE complete runs from around 1974-2011 of Action Comics, Superman, Fantastic Four, JLA and Avengers as well as all Batman and Detective from 1986-2011 and many, many other series and one shots from other characters. About 35 short boxes

Sold almost all of them thinking heck my son owns all these and more digitally, he loves it at age 17 why not me

Well I am having a tough time "being into" the comics reading digitally. I think holding the comic, the feel, the smell, the NOSTALGIA, was so much, the whole experience is what I loved, not just the story

Can any relate, or help me through this because I am a sad, sad man right now.
