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 do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

you know what else would be lovely on the iphone/itouch? the ability to click on a link and have it open in a new window.

I think Handbrake may convert .mkv files.

iPhone copy & paste rumors.

Oh pleasepleaseplease!

(Except that double-tapping is already a shortcut for "zoom in on this" so I hope there's more to the gesture than that if this rumor is true.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Handbrake was my first move. It wouldn't open the files.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are you on a Mac? Try installing Perian first, then try Handbrake.

Nope. Handbrake won't open it.

Nope. Says unsupported format.

Well, at least I can watch them on the Mac. It's just that screen is so pretty in the living room. Thanks for the tips.

Ah! Forgot I had that one. It wasn't in the video folder. It opened the file. The processors are slammed. So, we shall see if it converts it. It will take some time, of course. Thanks for reminding me!
