Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
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!
I thought you said you already had the mpg, Hec?
I thought I did, but it was just the aborted download from Bit Torrent.
However, I got Global Frequency (which did indeed kick ass. I can see the Miranda Zero fanfic generating on the horizon as I type.) from P-C putting it at You Send It. I got the VLC from your link which ran it.
And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog. Thank you all.
VLC is really a good program.
And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog.
Give it back!
What are you looking to do with the alternative?
I'm trying to burn video files to a DVD that can be watched on a regular DVD player. iDVD says it's working then it freezes. Which I discovered is "normal". I was told it only looks like it's frozen, it's really working. Except that after 12 hours of "working" but not looking like it's working, I had to abort the process for fear of my laptop melting through the coffee table.
I fear I may have to just save the files to a DVD and apologize to the party in question.
Kristen, if these are the files of which I'm thinking, do you want me to burn the ones I have to DVDs as DVDs, and you send the rest as files?
Yes, they are the ones you are thinking of. I have 11-12 and 17-22 off of my DVR so those are fine. It's 13-16 that I need.
Hmm. Don't know about those -- I'll check. Or, if you want, you can give *me* the files, and I can burn the DVDs.
Sounds like Toast Titanium 6 will do what you want it to do and perhaps give you a bit better feedback about it than iDVD.
Netflix question:
Has any non-major-city-area Buffista noticed an increase in time for Netflix DVD-getting?
For awhile I had a 2 day turnaround, and my DVD's were going to a PD box in Rochester. This last one took 1 week, and came from Texas!
Sophia,
have you been renting a lot? Netflix does this to you if you rent a lot. They like to slow down your rentals. There's a term for it, but I've forgotten it.
