NatCapVidMo Wrap-Up Post

Here's a link to each of the 30 videos I did over the month of November. As of December 6th, 2010, all of these videos are live, though of course there are no guarantees that anything uploaded to YouTube will stay online indefinitely. If any of these links break, please let me know about it: info@stenoknight.com. Thanks again to Universal Subtitles for their amazing captioning tool, and if anyone else would like to attempt to caption 30 videos in 30 days, go for it! I'd love to see this idea catch on.

  1. Hello,

    Just discovered this great tool with help from MIT (no, I cannot imagine translating an MIT course/day, that would be too much).

    Anyway, I just can't figure out how you can view the subtitled video in full screen. I've asked the guys over at universalsubtitles, but their answer seems to be moving rather slow. I've tried with IE and Firefox, on different videos. The full screen button is there alright, but press is and it just sits there, doing nothing.

    Did you have a problem with this also, is there a way around it ? I'll be grateful if you could make some light for me in this issue.

    Thank you very much,
    Mihai

  2. Hello, Mihai. Unfortunately this is a known bug with Universal Subtitles. It doesn't support full-screen viewing. I brought this to their attention several months ago and they said they put it on their development list, but I got the impression that it was fairly low among their priorities. It's a shame, because I also prefer to watch videos at full-screen sizes. I hope they fix it soon.

  8. Hundreds of explanations might explain why your printer doesn't print. Like Inkjet printers, they are perfect for printing every day. However, you also do not use the Canon Inkjet printer sufficiently to avoid running. It may cause printer problems, such as jammed ink nozzles, head problems, etc. Inkjet printers are much less often used than the printer underuse. Paper clips, paper bits, hair strips will also fall into the printer that causes jams and the worse. Learn more about correcting a typical mistake in Canon Printer Won’t Print.

  18. I, like other guys, wished for a loving and true family, but I wasted years hunting for someone to visit. The idea of meeting someone did not appeal to me, so I turned to dating websites in the hope of finding the perfect one, and as you know, I was successful. On the recommendation of my brother, I contacted these individuals that specialize in russian mail order brides. I found the girl with whom I am in love. I recommend that all of the males pay attention here.
