I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That looks promising. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks!

Another rec for Handbrake.

Oh, I didn't realize Handbrake was also for PC.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, all platforms and pretty much any video format your computer knows.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I didn't realize that either. Handbrake is the bomb.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

My power apparently blinked while I was at work, and my Tivo didn't make it through to the other side. Sadness, but it was a Series 2 and three years old. I'm now the proud owner of a Tivo Premiere. Oh, the wacky world of unintentional upgrades.

Does anyone happen to know what kind of cable you need to connect a computer to a TV screen, and if it is expensive? I have no idea.

Also, I bought a new phone! It's an HTC Smart, which despite the name is not quite a smart phone, which is good, as I can't afford the at&t data plan at this moment. But it's the first time I've ever had a phone that could be deemed fancy, so it's good fun.

It depends on your computer and your TV, zuisa, and if you need only video or also audio.

Oh, haha. Ok. I have a Macbook, but I guess I don't have a clue what kind of TV my family has. Video would be optimal. Strikes me as being something expensive, though.
