sometimes have I come across MKV files that have built-in subtitles.
Although it’s nice that matroska has that ability, those subtitles are sometimes a nuisance.
They are either in an unwanted language or become hardcoded when you try to convert the video with some app.
Removing them is actually quite easy.

1. Removing built-in subtitles from MKV

First you need a small app called MKVmergeGUI (select the OS you are using).
You load your MKV video by clicking Add.
Then you deselect subtitle track (S_TEXT/UTF8).
Then click Start Muxing.
In a couple of minutes you have a MKV video without subtitles.

2. Extracting built-in subtitles from MKV

For this you need to use MKVextractGUI-2.
Load your video in Input.
Select subtitle track (S_TEXT/UTF8) in Content.
Click Extract.

In under a minute you will have .srt subtitle from that video.

These subs will work with MKV video if you removed them as stated in 1.

Firefox is your favorite browser but, over time, it keeps getting slower and slower. Not only can it get slow, Firefox may sometimes hangs for no reason, consumes a large amount of memory and CPU usage can climb to 90% or more when you have multiple tabs open in the browser.

You have uninstalled most of the extensions and toolbars, deleted all the cookies and internet temporary files, cleared up the file download queue and disabled the background check for software updates – but none of this has helped you speed-up Firefox.

This is a common problem especially if you have been running the Firefox program on your computer for some time – I don’t know why Firefox slows down but here’s a small trick to rejuvenate the aged copy of Firefox without doing a fresh install.

Start Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we’ll need them later).
Type firefox.exe -P in the Run box of Windows.
Click the Create Profile button without making any modifications to your existing profile (which is normally called “default”)

Now when you Start Firefox in the new profile, you are very likely to be impressed with the speed. You can import the bookmarks that you saved in Step 1. If you have made any changes to the Firefox Dictionary, copy the persdict.dat word list file from the old profile folder to the new one.

Yes, there won’t be any old Firefox add-ons in the new profile but the browser will be extremely quick and won’t hog the CPU – just the way you want Firefox to run on your computer.

And if you ever need to revert to the old profile, just type Firefox -P again and click the old profile. Nothing is lost.

// replace & to %26
$string = “M&M”;
$string = str_replace(“&”, urlencode(“&”), html_entity_decode($string));
//————————————–

OUTPUT on url will be M%26M
OUTPUT on your page still M&M

ALTER TABLE `table_name` AUTO_INCREMENT=1

You can also do this in phpMyAdmin without writing SQL.

Click on a database name in the left column.
Click on a table name in the left column.
Click the “Operations” tab at the top.
Under “Table options” there should be a field for AUTO_INCREMENT (only on tables that have an auto-increment field).
Input desired value and click the “Go” button below.
