Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
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!
Anyone have a Zune? I'm trying to work out if I should just give my Zunified (ew) friend the .m4vs I have in iTunes (convertified by iSquint) or I should give him the originals or convert them again.
The first conversion page I hit suggested I download Windows Media Encoder 9, but Microsoft irritates me quite irrationally by wanting to validate my (valid) copy of Windows.
Does anyone know if the CBS Innertube online videos on the CBS website are just incompatible with Macs in general? I've tried to access them in the latest available Mac versions of Safari, Firefox, and Netscape and either get no response (Safari and Netscape) or browser crashes (Firefox) every time.
I just got it to work in Safari last night, by using the RealPlayer setting rather than Windows Media - there's a button in the upper right that says something like player settings.
Matt, it seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes I can get it to work wonderfully, and other times I can't get it to even start.
I've been getting consistently good results with Firefox, Matt. I think I'm using RealPlayer.
Thanks everyone! I'm pretty sure I've used the RealPlayer option for some attempts, but I can keep trying knowing that others have gotten intermittent connections.
It appears that Linspire and Ubuntu are going to do a lot of sharing of features.
Pretty interesting (for a limited audience), especially the prospect of easily installing commercial software.
Never mind! I found what I needed.
Thank you all for introducing me to Dream Host! I'm extremely happy with them already and have moved my old domain over and registered my new one. ND found a $97 off (!!) coupon code if you pay two years in advance, so I just got two years of hosting for $93! I'm very happy.
