General Discussion / Re: Need help with importing WTV video files to Windows Live Movie Maker

« on: August 13, 2012, 11:56:31 AM »

Have you tried right-clicking on the .wtv file and converting it to .dvr-ms? Also, I wouldn't really use Windows Live Movie maker.. can be a pain to handle at times. Since you use Windows 7, WMM doesn't come standard, but it can be downloaded from here.

Shared channel space. It's a bit more rare these days than it was back in the earlier 2000s and back, but cable headends often do that. I think it might have to do with bandwidth stuff as well.

Actually, that is Edline.

Hmm, interesting, because my school's Edline page looks nothing like that when viewing classes

Trevor, that wouldn't happen to be Edline, would it? That looks a lot like what my high school used to use!

My school uses Edline as well, and no that isn't Edline.

McKayla is not impressed.

Of all the memes that could fit in this topic, that, IMO, is probably the best one.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Weather Services International Acquires Weather Central

Wow, significant indeed. My FOX station currently uses Weather Central for generating weather graphics, so I wonder what WSI is gonna do to stations that use Weather Central.

You cant have every station with the same looking graphics in a single market

Well, in my opinion, it's quite obvious that WSI has wanted to stand out in front of Weather Central, especially with their TruVu line of products. In fact, 3 out of 4 news stations in the Tampa-St. Petersburg DMA use TruVu Max on air.

Apparently she's done work for The Onion in the past

Unless I'm wrong, Kyla Grogan is not a true Meteorologist so I find it odd she is doing forecast segments on TV.

TWC HAS had anchors do the forecast who don't have certificates in meteorology before. Examples include Marshall Seese, Dave Schwartz, Kristin Dodd, and Jeanetta Jones (the first three which eventually received their certificates during their last few years at TWC).

Let's not forget Julie Martin. 

Though back then, if they had to get Julie Martin on, it was a sign that they were extremely shorthanded. Though today she is an actual meteorologist.

I'm not sure how long she's been with TWC officially, but this one probably went unnoticed on here since she does online forecasts and (for now), online forecasts only. I know that I remember seeing her back in April or May doing the forecasts for Tampa. Here's the information on her Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WeatherKyla/info

And here's a video of her:
