Hmm. Hmm.
I wonder how much of what I have conforms to their standards...

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seems like, in many cases, it would be faster to burn a CD with the video file on it and pop it into the TV's DVD player (assuming you've got a player that'll play most anything, like the Phillips).

Well, for onesies. But if you, like me, have multiple eps of TV sitting on your HD and HD space on the TiVo and you can get some of the TiVoly benefits (being paused in multiple shows, for instance) it can appeal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, that's cool shit. Thanks for the info. I'm going to try that tonight for the Bill Mahrer special I downloaded.

True dat. Pausing, or jumping ahead in 15 minute intervals is a nice benefit.

With Trixie, I bought a special Monster cable so I can send the a/v signals to my DVR and record them. Once I figured out how to navigate the input menu (the owner's manual for this is notoriously unreadable), it was a breeze.
After reading that TiVo thing, I am very interested in whether or not I can connect my DVR to my wireless network.

This seems a good techie space to ask... is there anything I should know about Virgin Mobile (or Virgin Whatever) before I sign up for one of their cellphone plans?
FWIW, their phonetree was actually kind of amusing, and the live person who eventually answered my questions about switching service was helpful.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thanks! I will try the Graphic Converter tonight--I do have it, but I am not sure it will do what I want it to. If not, Elements sounds good.
Make sure you get the latest GC, they are always improving. (But then so is Photoshop, I guess.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
New worm. [link] Microsoft it only affects Windows 2000, and there's a patch to address the exploit it uses.
Apparently it hit the CNN computers in NYC, so they seem to have gone into panic mode with their coverage.

That would explain why we've had three separate SMS pushes in the last two days at work.
