Wouldn't the bitrate for the intended file size depend on codec (and settings for it) used though?

Nope. A different CODEC would just give you different quality and stuff for that same given bitrate.

But isn't the idea that you want to get the best possible quality (bitrate) for your given file size so you would calculate it for each codec used?

A single track file of 1MB and 1 minute uses around 136 kbps. And that could be an mp3 file, x264 video file, AAC or whatever. It really doesn't matter, Time * Bitrate = SIZE. Ideally, you wouldn't be constrained by size so instead of going by bitrate it would be better to use the encoding based on quality instead.

The calculator is only useful for when you're constrained in SIZE. For example, you want to fit 1h content in a single layer DVD. A single track content would give you around 10000 kbps to use. That's the value to use when using the encoder, for the final file to be of that size. Again, which codec or what content that actually is, doesn't matter. A single track of 1h content at around 10000 kbps will fit a single layer DVD.

Ah. I generally just hunt via Trial and Error

Not a tool, but I really didn't want to make a thread for it. I just finished making me a UserDefined language for Notepad++ for HLSL. Far from perfect, but better than using the C++ profile instead so far.

#EDIT: Since the attachments thing doesn't want to work for me...

#EDIT2: Just in case, to add it just go to View->User-Defined then Import.

New tool, the PDF Bookzoom! Simple brute force replacement of the zoom/fit tags. That way your current zoom won't be changed when clicking PDF bookmarks.

Usage: PDF_Bookzoom filename (doesn't make a backup file, so beware)

No wildcards cuz I'm lazy, use a Batch file and a FOR loop or something. =P

^I should fix that one some day. Anyhow! Another silly thing to add...

The Scarygirl Resolution Tool just changes the registry and patches the executable so that the game runs in non-ugly resolutions.

Hi KrossX!

Should I ask a proper patch for Raiden IV taito-PC version resolution and rotation too? Would be nice if this game have more rotating options (-90, 0, +90) and resolutions (1920x1200, 1920x1080) etc.

KrossX · June 22nd, 2012, 16:48

I'm afraid that's way beyond my possibilities. Maybe try using the open source loader? https://github.com/zxmarcos/ttx_monitor

#EDIT: Another silly tool!

Durazno, a XInput to XInput wrapper that allows for some customization when playing games with a XInput controller.

#EDIT2: Finally fixed that PDF_Bookzoom. New open source version here Magical Tools @ GoogleCode.

#EDIT3: Durazno now lets you remap the controller. Clicking the new button thing will display the section that lets you remap it. Once clicked.
