Tuesday Nite
- Covered for my brother Hristo, who is still recovering from his crazy time in Miami. .
- A student came to watch the French News, but because the tape is recording in the viewing room, I put the tape in the lab, and for whatever reason it wasn't working. There was people talking in the background, and could not hear the news. Had to go in the classroom where the tape actually worked. I heard from the student that it actually happened before when she tried to watch the news in the lab. So just in case it ever happens to you, try somewhere else

Monday Nite
- It was quiet, there was Gaitano's class in the classroom
- I watered the plants
Note:
Regarding the French recording this afternoon, I'm the one that put in the tape and it was rewinded, so it must have started recording at the beginning. I shut it off like normal and there was the clock, meaning it was going to record. If it recorded last weeks news, I think that's beyond us. . but I did what I do everyday when I record so I'm not sure what went wrong when and where

Yeah, sounds complicated but not really

- Covered for Kei's shift
- There were people working on their dubbing projects, and Amy was here to help too
- With the dubbing project, when people do a narration, the sound file will appear on the same screen with the different scenes and some people were freaking out. But this actually is fine, it won't mess up the playing of the video, it's just stored there and will be used whenever that part it is inserted comes up. Don't know if this makes sense, but can explain further if noone can figure out what I'm saying

-Read the documents we have on the LLC shared drive on how to use movie-maker
- Then the group that was doing the dubbing project came to use the lab
- The level of expertise varies in the group, some students students knew more than others.
-However they could not do the dubbing project though. The movie file is in DAT format and Movie Maker can only open files in avi, mpg, mp2, m1v, mp2v and mpeg.
-Instead of using the burnt DVD/CD, they were going to save it onto the H-Drive and then try to open it in it's original format
-So instead they practised their lines without actually recording them
