I searched the board and Google and couldn't find an answer to this (just processor compatibility stats for specific motherboards) A friend just gave me a Pentium D processor. I want to build a core 2 duo system but initially use the Pentium D processor in the system until I save more...

wow really? I'm surprised people stand for this. If I buy a song I want to play it on all my computers and in all of the available players. I don't want to have to take a compressed music file that I purchase, convert it to an uncompressed format and then perform another lossy compression...

I'm sick of the music stores online that protect the music so that you can only play it on a certain player or only on the pc that you purchased on etc. Players change and break and computers get replaced. I have 3 pc's that I use in different locations. What is the best place online to...

Thanks this information was very helpful. I compressed a video from 800 MB to 100 with no visible quality loss. It could have been probably 30MB smaller at that quality if I had been able to compress the audio. For some reason if I didnt leave the audio at full quality, the highest available...

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll need to export a full quality avi from premiere and then use virtual dub to compress it using divx. I wish I had terabytes of free space so I could just save all videos uncompressed. . . but I don't.

Ftp would be better if you have access, because any dynamic content won't be downloaded by a website downloader. . . . but as far as website downloaders go the best one I've found (and I've tried quite a few) is wget. It's got a bit had to use because you have to figure out the command line...

Here's a free file recovery software I found: Pandora Recovery Completely free File recovery software for NTFS. It saved my life when a backup of a drive I was formatting failed. i recovered my files from the formatted drive. They have a Thumb drive for sale that you can use to run the...

If you are familiar with adobe photoshop then the best thing for making animations (animated gifs) is "adobe image ready". It has the same interface and uses the same layers setup to work with the different frames of the animation. This is an avatar I use on an automotive forum. :) I made it...

I've had pretty good luck with defiler pack. It most likely has whatever codec you need. Just google defiler pack. download and install. I'd bet your video will play. ;-)

I have a DV camera and Adobe premier. I've imported video at full DV quality and edited some home movies with my lame premier skills :) but I have not been satisfied with the quality of the compressed output. I've tried lots of different formats including divx (with which I've seen pretty...

I have had luck recovering files from a hard drive after a format with pandora recovery. Just make sure you do a surface scan with pandora recovery or you won't find the deleted files.
