Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Help! I'm in the process of (trying) to create my first VCD with very little tech know-how, and having trouble even getting started.
So, the set-up is;
1) I have completed bit torrents embedded in Azureus.
2) I have downloaded TMPEnc for Avi --> MPEG conversion
3) Also downloaded the demo version of VCDEasy.
So, the first step seems to be to select the source file in TMPEnc wizard for conversion, but the thing is, the I don't have a separate free-standing avi-file--I can get at it only by opening Azureus and opening the completed file/folder/whatever. How do I export this file out of Azureus so that I could put it in the TMPEnc?
Another thing--I do have a free-standing avi-file at home, which I've tried to convert to MPEG last night, but the specification said the file would end up being 240% the size of the available 700 MB space on a CD. How do you tweak that so that you could get a reasonably-sized file?
You know, it'd be nice if some had done a step-by-step tutorial of the thing and put it on the web...
Vonnie, there are tutorials here: [link]

If someone has a very agressive popup-blocker, the Javascript "Alert()" function will still work, right?
I just got an e-mail telling me that my ebay account had been suspended.
And to go to http://cgii1ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI/ddl/ to log in and update my eBay records, but it also says:
you are prohibited from using eBay in any way. This includes the update of your actual account.
So, anyway, not logging in there (although it didn't accept my fake password), seem to still be able to log into ebay proper -- the weird thing is, the neither the subject header nor the domain name turn up anything in google.
Domain registry is a bit of a giveaway, but still. Kinda spooky to get something phishy with no evidence already out there on the web.
Did you forward it to the ebay address they have for forwarding those things? I was getting a whole bunch of them about three/four months back.
D'oh. I forwarded it to the last mailserver domain to touch it, as well as the hosts for cgii1ebay.com.
eBay may be even more interested.
It's something like spoof@ebay.com, I think.
I found a form on their site and just used that.
I feel all early adopter and shit.
eta: also useless, since their
form
bounced the mail back
So I'm going to install a new motherboard at the weekend. Any hints or tips? Any hidden pitfalls to watch out for?
