1Click DVD Ripper is a video converter for DVD video. It prevents uncompressed video being dumped on hard drive. It does MPEG, MPEG-2, and AVI conversions. AVI includes DivX, XviD, x264, Radius Cinepak Video 1.1, Intel Indeo Video 3, 4.5, and 5.1, Microsoft Video 1 (not to be confused with Microsoft's VC1 based on WMV9). It uses an older LAME MP3 encoder for audio. With DivX encoder installed, a window shows DivX options Fast, Medium, Slow, Extreme pictured below. Extreme is best compression. For x264 encoder, a virtual lever goes somewhere between 0 (highest quality) - 51 (lowest quality) or between 1 - 5000 with multipass compression.

At the beginning of the Wizard, the user chooses what chapters of the DVD he/she wishes or rips from Time A to Time B. This requires any DVD video decoding software such as PowerDVD before opening DVD video chapters. After 1Click DVD Ripper started compressing video, PowerDVD can be closed. There won't be another release after 2.03.

Like Russian jokes, the majority of jokes in Hungary have fixed characters who everyone is familiar with:

Móricka (little Maurice): A 10 to 12 year old Jewish boy, who is preoccupied with sex and saying obscenities. (His being a Jew is totally unimportant in the large majority of these jokes, and many people are actually unaware of the fact that he is supposed to be Jewish.) Móricka is easily the most popular imaginary person in Hungarian humour. His analogs are Vovochka and Little Johnny.

Pistike (little Steve): An 8 to 10 year old very stupid boy. The adults who communicate with him are also silly and many of the jokes are absurd in nature.

Kohn and Grün: Two elderly Jewish people who are in constant fear of the future (And, during the times of Communist Hungary, the often fluid past.)

Arisztid and Tasziló: Two old-fashioned Hungarian aristocrats whose time period is shortly after World War II.

Jean: Arisztid or Tasziló's French butler, interacting in short question and answer jokes, usually absurd or word-plays.

Mother-in-law jokes: Mothers-in-law are gist for humor in Hungary and Hungarian, as in many other lands and languages.

Politics: In communist era Hungary, political jokes were extremely popular and were often tolerated as a means of letting off steam. Both international and domestic issues were ridiculed and jokes often required good understanding of what was in the news to make any sense. These jokes often say more of their age than long pages of historical description. Political jokes are still popular in the now democratic Hungary, but the public now feels all politicians are so hopelessly corrupt, greedy and incompetent that it's not worth making jokes about them.

Police: As one consequence of the letting off steam aspect noted in the politics jokes above, ever since the communist era most Hungarian people are not fond of the institution of law enforcement and try to avoid contact with officers. Policemen are generally regarded as primitive, uneducated and totally corrupt in Hungarian public opinion. Some of these police jokes belong to the absurd genre.

Gypsy: The large Roma (cigány) ethnic minority in Hungary are regularly parodied. Recurring themes are stealing, refusing to work, fathering too many children, sex abuses-essentially all the negative stereotypes about Roma people in Hungary.

Vállalkozós (entrepreneur-related jokes): The newly formed entrepreneur class in post-communist Hungary (Compare ""New Russians") are noveau riches who are usually described as a bunch of uneducated, arrogant, and just plain stupid criminals in the jokes. Their primitive clothing style is often made fun of.

Blonde girls: As in English, blonde jokes are common, portraying their subjects as silly sex addicts, attracted to money and fashion and only slightly more advanced than the police and others (See above).

Scotsmen: Similar to the old English stereotype, Scots are described as kilt-wearing skulks who invariably violate common sense in order to save a few pennies in the short run.

Asylum inmates: Mental patients in the asylum frequently end up out-smarting doctors and the general public. Again, see the similar category under Russian jokes. The asylum is often dubbed the "sárgaház" (yellow house) in the Hungarian language, referring to the building of the National Asylum (1868-2007)-similar to Bedlam in English.

Animals: Such jokes usually feature the bear and the wolf, always keen about bullying the rabbit, who may be smart but gets beaten up regularly, and the Evil Piglet, who is a verbally aggressive personality, often even to his own expense (due to his stupidity.) Animal jokes are often political allegories. Again, see Russian jokes.

Stirlitz: These are really absurd jokes: see some in the Stirlitz and the Russian joke pages.

The Hierarchy of Calormen is a system of rank established in the fictional country of Calormen to differentiate nobility from peasantry. It is part of the multiple governments C.S. Lewis describes in his book series The Chronicles of Narnia.

Ranks

Tash-- Though he is a deity, he is considered by the Calormens to be the ruler over all.

Tisroc--Akin to a sultan on earth. A Tisroc is widely considered somewhat of a god on Calormen, not unlike an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and is praised throughout all lower ranks as the ruler over all. The Tisroc mainly lives in Tashbaan, the capital of Calormen.

Prince\Princess--Either the son or daughter of a Tisroc is treated with respect slightly greater than that of a standard nobleman. The most notable of this class is Prince Rabadash from The Horse and his Boy.

Grand Vizier--The Grand Vizier is an appointed nobleman selected by the Tisroc to be his right-hand man. They are offered almost the same respect as the children of a Tisroc. Ahoshta, an elder Tarkaan was selected to be Grand Vizier but was kicked numerous times by Prince Rabadash, which shows that even the right-hand man of the Tisroc is still insignificant to his children.

Tarkaan\Tarkheena--These are the noblemen and noblewomen of the of the Calormen hierarchy. Tarkaans are characterized by rich armor, expensive clothes, the best war horses, and a band of gold on their wrist. The band signifies that they are greater than the common folk. Traditionally, Tarkaans marry Tarkheenas who also wear beautiful clothing and given what ever they please. The children of a Tarkaan and Tarkheena also bear the title of noble-person. The most recognized of this class is Aravis Tarkheena, Lasaraleen Tarkheena, and Anradin Tarkaan.

Soldiers--The men of the Calormen Army possess greater status than commoners but less than noblemen and women. The soldiers are divided into two subclasses, the Calormen captain followed by standard troops. Tarkaans are also known to lead soldiers but still have greater status than them.

Peasants--The common folk of Calormen are the penultimate bottom of the hierarchial ladder. They divide into many subclasses too numerous to name. Arsheesh the fisherman is a notable peasant who is lowly thought of by Anradin Tarkaan when he visits. This class is akin to middle-class people on earth.

Slaves--Even in Calormen, there are slaves who make up the bottom of the hierarchial ladder. Many are mentioned throughout the course of the story but few are ever recognized. Pushed by their peasant, Tarkaan, and Tisroc masters, slaves often lead lives of hardship and suffering, though it can occur that a Tarkaan treats his slaves well and keeps them merely to show his power. Aravis frames a slave girl in order to escape her father and is punished severely.

Treatment
Throughout Calormen, the nobles are spoiled with riches while peasants and slaves toil. Other than respect and special treatment given to them, nobles are of the utmost importance and peasants are wholly ignored by a noble-person. Traditionally, peasants and slaves are forced out of the way in the narrow streets of Tashbaan by an escort of soldiers as a high-ranking noble is carried through. Whenever the name of the Tisroc is spoken, it must be followed by saying, "May he live forever".
