I needed to wrap an AAC file in an M4A container so I could load it into my Windows Phone 7 (WP7) music collection. First I downloaded the FFmpeg software from here:

Then I unzipped the files and ran the following command:
That solved the problem of not being able to add an “MP3” tag to my audio file.

I have been fighting with VMware Workstation 7.1.4 for the past day trying to change the MAC address of a Windows guest virtual machine. I tried a number of recommendations from around the web, but the one that finally worked was setting a static MAC address as follows:
|
1 |
ethernet0.addressType = "generated" (Note: that's a zero after "ethernet", not the letter o) |
|
1 |
ethernet0.addressType = "static" |
|
1 |
ethernet0.address = "00:0c:29:12:34:56" |
This solution was found here, along with another solution that did not work for me.

I renamed my Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010) Solution (.sln) and Project (.vcxproj) files today. When I opened the Solution, it could not find the Project file, thinking it was still in the old location. To solve this, I had to exit VS2010, delete the project’s .suo file, restart VS2010, open the Solution, and then re-add the Project file.
I found this answer here, in reference to VS2005.

Even in today’s mostly-Unicode world on Windows, the console (i.e. cmd.exe) still defaults to using OEM code pages (i.e. multibyte characters). To set the console to Unicode mode, use the following code:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
#include <fcntl.h> #include <io.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT); wprintf(L"\x043a\x043e\x0448\x043a\x0430 \x65e5\x672c\x56fd\n"); return 0; } |
