How to get VST / Midi instruments from old games?
Yes there is. If you have a VGM file, you can use VGM2OPM to get an OPM of the file, which you can import inside the VOPM VSTi.

How to fix boxes when displaying Chinese language in VLC?
First, I think the reason your .srt file is garbled is because it isn’t encoded right. On the advice of another forum, I downloaded the trial version of NJStar, http://www.njstar.com/cms/ (incidentally, this program can also do Japanese & Korean.) Use this program (it’s Universal Code Converter) to convert your .srt file to UTF8 — it will create a new file in a separate folder (easy to find), with the same name as your original. Now when you open the *new* file in Notepad, you should see the Chinese characters.
Next, you need to set up VLC: Go to preferences, and in Subtitles/OSD, change Default Encoding to UTF-8. Set the preferences to “show all,” and then go into Video – Subtitles / OSD and change “text rendering mode” from “default” to “Freetype2 font renderer.” Now, expand the Subtitles/OSD menu and go down to “Text Rendering.” Choose a Unicode font to display. (You may have to type out the file path for the font; I wasn’t able to browse for it anyway. Of course, you’ll want to choose a font with Chinese characters. I chose SimHei — C:\Windows\Fonts\simhei.ttf).
Finally, save preferences, and restart VLC. When you begin your movie, simply choose the .srt file NJStar made for you via the Video menu, Subtitles track, Open file.
Worked for me, hope it works for you too.
How to save a transparent frame in After effects?
In AE, composition > Save frame as.. > File
it will add an item to the Render Queue, set to export a still image file. Choose PSD.
(You can choose from a number of still image formats, including PSD, PNG, TIFF, etc. Note that in these cases the alpha channel will be available to Photoshop, but not applied directly as transparency.)
Then you just need to select the alpha channel in the Channels panel in Photoshop, and create a layer mask from the alpha.
To do so.. Ctrl-Click on the Alpha Channel, and then make sure the layer you want the mask on is highlighted, and go to “Layer-Layer Mask” and then you’ll have options for “hide selection” and “reveal selection.”
Of you can click the “New Layer Mask” icon in the layers palette instead of using the “Layer-Layer Mask” menu item.
(Also, it’s very important that in the Render Queue you set the Alpha Channel type as Straght/Unmatted, since that’s what PS handles better. But may cause graphic glitches too, so try both.)
