I'm glad you've enjoyed tonight's productions.

The CD will have to wait for another day. I've already put the microwave back in the kitchen, far out of range of my web cam's USB cable. :(

OOPS!!! I didn't think there was supposed to be any sound at all. It was recording the line in from my VCR to the sound card. Oh well. This is the first time I tried to make videos with the webcam. I had to download new software. I didn't realize it was recording sound from the VCR. Sorry, everyone. :eek:

These should be using the DIVX 4.12 codec. Try getting the 4.12 codec. I think they should play for you.

I love doing CD's - but what does that do to your microwave? I only leave it on for 2 seconds, and that's enough to fry the CD.

Go here and download the DivX 4.12 player & codec. Then you'll be able to watch. Or at least, it worked for me. :)

oops, sorry. This is my new box with a fresh install of XP. I don't have anything yet :eek:

Thanks for the link. Works like a charm. Seeing things blow up with Ameridebt commercials playing is kinda funny ;) That's about what they do to your credit :D

Guys, isn't the metal on the lightbulb VERY BAD? ie: can cause a fire to start?! :Q

Thanks Arschloch & Saltboy. I thought that this was some type of stupid inside joke (no video, just commercials) until I got the download. Thanks for the entertainment, Garfang.

Heeeey....they told me the Super Computer Show (a bluestar production) was an event so big it could only be held in the Greensboro Colliseum. I think they've been lying to me!
