Active Directory Sizing and Capacity Planning

Sizing discussions can range from exact numbers to the vague statement of "it depends [on the usage/applications/...]". But even an "it depends"-discussion has to start with some bare numbers as a basis. Harddisk (Storage/Database Size) 40KB to 60KB for each user RAM Database Size Base operating system recommendations (SYSVOL) Third-party applications (Anti-Virus, Monitoring, Backup, ...) Storage/Database Size 40KB to 60KB for each user Network 1 Gb CPU 1000 concurrent users for each core It is recommended to size in cycles, such as through "a three step process [that] will be used as part of the capacity planning cycle." Measure the existing environment, determine where the system bottlenecks currently are, and get environmental basics necessary to plan the amount of capacity needed. Determine the hardware needed according to the criteria outlined in step 1. Monitor and validate that...

FFmpeg: Basics, Trim and Concatenate

Location: FFmpeg can either be installed individually or as part of other applications. E.g. if installed together with Audacity usually the entire contents of the downloaded ZIP file are extracted to a folder anywhere on the computer, then the Libraries Preferences are configured to locate the file "avformat-55.dll". One location could be C:\Program Files (x86)\FFmpeg for Audacity . Basic Conversion: FFmpeg can be overwhelming with its options. If you only want to encode a larger video to MP4 and do not care much about smaller compression artifacts go for: ffmpeg -i "input.avi" "output.mp4" Basic Trim (Cut) from/to: e.g. from the begin of the file to 45 1/2 seconds. ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:45.5 -c:v copy -c:a copy "output.mp4" For some stream-to-MP4-rips the audio bitstream filter 'aac_adtstoasc' might be needed as follows: ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:45.5 -c:v c...
