I just peeked at my home computer to see if mencoder was done with a few tasks I set up. It looks like my wife must be downloading pictures from the camera right now. Didn't mean to spy.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

If I only had a brain...
HELP!
My Windows desktop running Media Player 10 can play blah.(X)SCVD.mpg files. My husband's Windows laptop running Media Player 10 cannot play the exact same files; there's no video and the audio is speeded up.
What should I install on my husband's laptop? His laptop has a CD/DVD burner, so it isn't that the laptop isn't DVD capable. Do I need a different player? Do I need a different CoDec for the player? (He already has XViD.)
Help help help. The Doctor you save may be mine.

I didn't know VLC existed. I Googled like a mad thing for "XSCVD" in various permutations and found no players.
Yeas! Thank you.

Tivo lifetime subscription extended to 4/15:
We know that there have been retail advertisements which refer to product lifetime, and there have been requests here for a longer opportunity to purchase lifetime before it’s discontinued. As a result, we have decided to offer product lifetime as a subscription option through 4/15/06, even for those that have purchased since 3/15 (you do have to call to activate lifetime service though, and lifetime is not applicable for systems purchased via a bundle plan).

CP-1 is a transmitter mouse. A sensitive condenser microphone is built in it. CP-1 starts working as soon as you connect it to the USB port of your PC.

VLC is the bestest. I've given up on bothering with codecs: I just watch everything with VLC.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In case you might need more storage for a pittance.
Compusa.com (And Comp USA stores) has an 80-GB 7200RPM IDE drive for $9.99 after rebates. Through 3/25 only. Free shipping.
Whew.
I'm waffling, myself. basically because it involves waiting for $70 in rebates to come back.
Still, thought I would let you know, just in case you might need some storage...

Huh -- apparently there's a new S2 Tivo box with dual tuners currently being sold.
