![]() Often female progeny will establish a territory adjacent to mother, while virtually all males disperse considerable distances from the natal area.Ĭougar's range often overlaps with other predators like wolves and bobcats. Female home ranges are about half that of males and there in considerable overlap in female home ranges. Adult male cougars’ home ranges will often overlap those of three or four females. Adult male cougars roam widely, covering a home range of 50 to 150 square miles, depending on the age of the cougar, the time of year, type of terrain, and availability of prey. Cougars use steep canyons, rock outcroppings and boulders, or vegetation - such as dense brush and forests - to remain hidden while hunting. Geographic rangeĬougars occur throughout Washington where suitable cover and prey are found. For additional information, see this cougar brochure. Cougar kittens are spotted until they are 4-5 months old, after that, barring patterns may remain up to 14 months of age. Cougars vary in color from reddish-brown to tawny (deerlike) to gray, with a black tip on their long tail. Adult female cougars rarely exceed 110 pounds. Adult males stand about 30 inches tall at the shoulder. Adult males average approximately 140 pounds but in rare cases may weigh 180 pounds and measure 7-8 feet long from nose to tip of tail. Monofilament recovery and recycling programĬougars are the largest members of the cat family in Washington.With Popcorn or DVD2oneX, it’s possible to create a DVD image of the larger file with Toast and then recompress it to fit on a normal DVD. At times, I’ve been unable to burn a DVD with Toast because there wasn’t sufficient room on the DVD disc for the program material. Since EyeTV records TV programs at a fixed data rate in MPEG-2 format, recordings can often be larger than 4.7GB-especially when using the High Quality setting. Users of Elgato Systems’ EyeTV line of products may find either program useful. DVD2oneX requires Toast or OS X’s Disk Utility to burn the DVD. As a result, to recompress and burn a DVD with Popcorn requires pressing only one button. Popcorn has a clear advantage over DVD2oneX because of its built-in DVD-burning software, Roxio’s Toast engine. In compressing the same 7.5GB of DVD material to a 4.7GB DVD (a 41 percent reduction in size), DVD2oneX finished almost 19 minutes earlier than Popcorn, at 48 minutes. DVD2oneX recompressed material much faster than Popcorn. ![]() When it comes to recompression quality, there is hardly a difference between Popcorn and DVD2oneX, but there are differences in speed. In general, both programs handled 90- to 120-minute movies very well, but if a movie was more than 120 minutes long, video quality was adversely affected. However, the longer the total video run-time you compress, the worse the quality gets, with more MPEG-2 artifacts in the video. While this diminishes the video quality slightly, our test DVDs were practically indistinguishable from the originals on typical movie titles. If you want to copy an entire DVD, including all the audio, subtitles, and supplemental material, these programs will recompress all the video at a lower data rate. The fewer options and special features you choose, the better the resulting video quality. Both programs offer a few ways to whittle down the total data size of a DVD, and let you pick and choose what features-audio tracks, subtitles, and special features-to record to the DVD copy. ![]()
