hardeeharhar, your cane is in the mail.

Haha! Every time I hear that I think of those Dodos on Ice Age.

DING! DING! DING! 4th link on Google.

Ha, I totally forgot about this thread. Hey! I was just catching up and I won't mention who but somebody thought it was a bright idea to bring up politics while I was away. That's a surefire way to turn this perfectly innocent ( ) topic into a …

Quote: One more thing... NEVER, NEVER create RAID backup volumes!!! Wait wait wait. A RAID is perfect for backups. I started out using external drives and retrospect and that method is simply a waste of a hard drive IMO. Building a RAID5 syst…

Well I'll have to give you a piece of advice on backing up RAIDS. I have a RAID 5 system and just backed up 2 days ago. I added more hard drives and needed to reformat. I used Disk Utility to create a whopping disk image and the command line ap…

My gripes: #1) Sound quality is teh shitz. Come on! It has got to be better than a 16Kbps MP3 played through a tin can. OK, so I have sensitive ears, but that is no excuse for living with audible compression distortion. That REALLY annoys me. …

A LAN would work. Mac can also read NTSF but not write. There is also software for PC that can read Mac formatted disks.

Disk Utility can do that but it is called MS-DOS not FAT32, Note: files over 4GB won't work.

In my mind the check would occur only when you first associate your iPod with a computer. There are always ways to get around this security, but if you you know you need to do that, well... I know, I just made the dreaded "If you fight for priva…

OK, Just extracted a movie using title and wound up with a .VOB file. (No surprise there.) Open it with MPEG Streamclip it will give you all sorts of options one of them being convert to MPEG2. You should be set.

Naa. Just teasing. I am a big anti-subscription jerk and spent $1000 on parts for a HDTV MythTV box I built from scratch rather than pay a subscription fee. Except for the keyboard interface and occasionally tuning to weak stations, it is pretty …

A DVD is mpeg2. Use Mac The Ripper to extract the main feature if that's all you want. Didn't read you were using Tivos so compression is right out. That does limit your options a bit. You may have to convert the MacTheRipper MPEG2 file to a tiv…

I'd compress the movies using mpeg4 and save the money you would have spent on drives. If you need DVD extras, go to the other room and grab the DVD, but if you just want to watch movies mpeg4 is fast and pretty good.

The #1 use for a stolen iPod is to sell it to a noob.

Hold on max, wezy904 clearly spent some time constructing this argument. It is not just your typical bitch&moan post, but a serious Q&A topic. Wether you agree with this solution or not is the very topic up for discussion. Personally, I…

Oh, Ouch! That is harsh. I often work into the wee morning hours with some A/V projects or restoring wedding photos but I always try to work around holidays. Not so easy in your job, but we've all been in this situation; working on special day…

I've been spending every ounce of free time on a PHP project. That and caring for an ailing cat, planning a trip to LA in a few days, signing up for summer school (blah), and general around-the-houseries. I check in now and then, but there was…

My guess is the video is in an incompatible format. You could try to fix it by re-encoding using iSquint of FFMPEGX.

Speaking of hourglass... I saw THIS beauty the other day and made her my desktop picture. Too bad it is a little blurry or I could have really zoomed in. (Yes, that IS a spider reference for those with phobias. You have been warned. )
