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'm still working on the problem of converting avi to dvd. The product I tried isn't that great afterall.
The forums wax rhapsodic about handbrake, but I have a 10.4 bound ppc. No matter where I look, I can't find an old version. Does anyone have a secret hookup for handbrake 9.2 or 9.3. I'm not really worried about non-existent support, if it works.
I don't suppose there is an accurate site that outlines which companies offer high speed internet for a particular address, is there? The joys of moving! Whee! I hope my new apartment has more to offer than just DSL. Sad to say, U-verse not offered in my new city.
I've used DreamHost and am very happy with their responsiveness. I used their Chat to resolve a PHP problem.
I've heard good things about Hostgator, FWIW.
Does anyone have a secret hookup for handbrake 9.2 or 9.3.

There's other old versions down the left-hand column.
Thank you so much Jon. I was able to download handbrake 9.1...but still can't make it work! It tells me no valid titles are found...argh.
More work on this later.
Again, thanks for the assist.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Every time I open Windows, it defaults to Calibri for a font. I do *all* my work in Times New Roman. Is there a way to set the default to Times New Roman? (I might be able to figure it out on my Mac, but the PC version constantly confuses me.)
Do you mean Word / Office?
Scroll down a bit and you'll see the instructions.
Excel is less tricky. Click the big circle menu in the top-left corner of the window. Click on the Excel Options button on the bottom of the menu. Then choose popular and there should be a setting for the default font to use in a new worksheet.
yes, I meant Word. Not sure why I typed Windows. Thanks, Gud.
eta: That wasn't hard. I think somewhere along the line, there was a major redesign of Word. It's not hard to use, but I often feel lost because I can't find what I want where I'm used to looking for it.
Just in case anyone is interested so far the iPad is working quite well as a laptop replacement for email and websurfing work while on the road. My goal on this trip is to try to use the iPad for almost all of my tasks and so far the laptop has only come out of my bag once and that was to do some audio editing. I'm even finding the onscreen keyboard very usable for typing. Amzingly pretty much doing fast touch-typing on it.
