I wish I could help, Ginger. My Mac-ness leaves me a bit bereft when it comes to things like .wmv.

Installing Flash Player Plugin on Firefox without having Administrator Access or Premissions.

I had to share this link in case anyone else needed it. The Internet provides! Give me my YouTube and Pandora in my Firefox at work, dammit!

How do you record Skype Video? If the cameras at both end are decent can you get decent video? In general, how do you do decent remote video interviews for youtube, and maybe for incorporation in real documentaries? Can it be done on a low budget with OK quality? What format does this the end result need to be in for editing? Can the fact that this is going to be talking heads and maybe some street shots let me get away with any money saving short cuts?

Ordering replacement toner for the office printer - what's the difference between standard and "high yield" toner cartriges for HP laser printers? The high-yield one is about twice the cost - will it last twice as long?

It should - doesn't the catalog say?

I would check mine but it seems to have walked.

Jess, it should - I don't have model #s at hand, but the high-yield ones we use print about twice as many pages. The page count should be somewhere in the product description.

Thanks guys! It doesn't say anywhere on HP's website what the difference is except on the images they have of the product boxes. So helpful! And our office supplies vendor has the worst website I've ever seen, with no product descriptions at ALL. (Seriously, it's like the Time Cube guy decided to start selling paper clips.)

After copying everything last night, my DVR now has 2 TB of storage for recordings. That's in addition to it's 1.2 TB of storage for other media. The old drive is going to the NAS box. It's amazing how quickly 2TB drives have dropped to two digit prices.

My cable bill is skyrocketing. Going up 30%. Apparently I was in a 6 month welcome package. I rather hate Charter. I'm seriously considering a MacMini as a DVR option. I already have an EyeTV tuner USB stick. I was curious, can EyeTV (or some other software) have two of them connected, and act as a dual tuner to record two shows at once? I haven't played with the DVR software that came with the EyeTV in about 2 years, so no clue how robust it is. Or if there is another option. I suppose I could get a TiVo. But I was thinking it would be nice to stream shows from websites if the DVR forgot to record it (or I forgot to program it). I don't care about "TiVo thinks you might like this" feature, so that is of little importance to me.

So? Thoughts? Opinions?

EyeTV can handle multiple feeds, yes. I've had an old EyeTV 250 (I think, some number or other) and an HDHomerun (which is dual tuner to start with) hooked up to my mini for a few years with no problems (until the HD Homerun gave up the ghost a few days ago, alas. Strangely the older device still works fine). The software has gotten more stable and more user friendly in the past couple of years, too.
