If you've got time, a DVR & Fox Business get a hold of me. I'm looking for another person to rip these. My DVR is shotty and I will not be able to cap these consistently. Just looking for someone to be backup in case my DVR fails.


TONIGHT ON THE INDEPENDENTS
---------------------------
Tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later) spends a decent chunk of time talking about President Barack Obama's weird speech at the United Nations today. Unpacking the ISIS component are Party Panelists Julie Borowski (beloved Internet libertarian) and Deroy Murdock (Fox News contributor). Talking about the audacity of selling an internationally (and domestically) illegal war to the leading international body is lefty anti-war stalwart Dennis Kucinich. And tackling the president's weird rhetorical jag into Ferguson, Missouri is Kmele Foster.

Kyle Lamb, a former Special Forces soldier and author of Leadership in the Shadows, talks about the role of Special Forces in the anti-ISIS fight, and also about what the media gets wrong when talking about the military. (The segment is a tease of our special Friday show, called "Boots on the Ground.") The co-hosts will unpack some recent news about the Obama administration's unprecedented micro-managing of what we used to call the "free press," and Borowski/Murdoch will debate the scandalness of the president's latte salute and travel budget.

INFO
----
Ripped with the Diamond VC500. Using the software that came packaged with the dongle. (It's called EZ Ripper.) In that software there's a "DVD Standard" which rips the video to .mpg at 720x480 with some terrible black bars. I load that file into AVIDemux. Cut the file into multiple parts to remove the commercials. Rejoin, crop, and resize those files using the same tool. For conversion I used MPEG4 AVC (x264), 2 pass on video and AAC (faac) on audio.

I am not part of the scene. I just admire their naming standards.
