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 have a video file that used to play just fine on my old computer in WMP, er, 9? 10? but now in WMP 11 it's only playing audio, not video. Any suggestions? It lists no video codecs under Properties, just audio codecs. Any ideas? I know I'm being vague, but I don't know what information would be helpful. The file extension is, er, ".DVDScr." actually, which seems odd to me.
ETA: Haha! Never mind. Windows Media Player gave me no information at all, but Quicktime told me it didn't have the divx codec. Problem solved!
A non-profit I'm involved in needs to do a three day video conference: somewhere between ten and 16 people will be participating.
Any thoughts on costs? Most of the free services limit you to four people on screen at once. Megameeting? Some of the video chat software?
Will there be 10-16 locations? Or just 10-16 people who need to be on at once, but in 2-4 locations, or? Not that I actually have any sugestions, but seems that would make a difference in what you can do. (16 little screens of heads on my computer would freak me out)
Yeah -- it depends on how many people are traveling. We might need to have ten or twelve little heads on the screen at once. I wonder how practical that is -- even if everybody has big screens.
Actually that's going to become more of a bandwidth issue to do 10-12 streams to each site.
I totally love my iPhone too!
I'm listening to the most recent (all iPhone) TWiT, and it's so cute how everyone sheepishly admits that they bought 2...
Also, D is in his sling in my lap right now, and he's very fussy listening to this. Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right? And honestly, what kind of mother would I be if I denied him?
Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right?
Of course! He's just a baby -- how can you expect him to deal with the graphical conventions of a typical phone interface?
OS X question--how do you switch between windows of an application? The ^F4 equivalent, I mean. There must be an easier way than mousing the main mail window, for instance, out of the way of the child message window.
