+1 for DVD Shrink.
Also, just in case you didn’t know, the regular DVDs you by at the store (DVD-/+R or -/+RW) hold about 4.7 gigs, whereas official DVDs like the stuff that movies come on can hold a lot more space, almost double that IIRC. So it’s possible if you were trying to backup a legit DVD onto DVDR/RW that you’d run out of space- though a lot of DVD movies don’t use 100% of the space possible.
man I was already looking forward to lend a hand out again however, it seems that mixah is taking over. I’m still around just don’t flood the gates with nonsense (ie easy fixes)
the large size can be burned on dual layer dvd’s, so long as your burner supports dual layer burning.
whats the name of the wire that goes from my line in on PC to my line in on TV??
i think its the same one that you use to hook up an ipod to a stereo
there’s a few…
VGA? S-Video.
no, it’s not the same as the crapPod to stereo cable.
EDIT:
anybody need an budget upgrade video card?

oh vga’s for the picture
s video can only do 480i
basically i got my computer hooked up to my tv through vga doing 1080p
but i need to hook up my computers sound card to my 7.1 receiver, but i’m not sure what the name of the wire is
i know i’m gonna get fleeced buying it at circuit city as opposed to online but i don’t feel like waiting for shipping
you didn’t specify… look at your post, and because you only put “TV” and nothing about sound, that’s why i thought you meant about the video.
the sound? yeah, what kind of inputs do you have on the receiver? if you have optical, you just need a set of optical connectors, but you need optical on both your card and the receiver. easiest thing to do is get a 3/8" jack (standard headphones) to RCA splitted cables (the red / white that you get on most consoles)
Quick question: I’m thinking about getting an external HDD that around 50-60GB. Thing is I dont have a lot of cash and am willing to go down a few GB’s in case the price is in my range (damn you college!)
Any suggestions?
how much are you looking to spend? one that small is usually about $10 cheaper than one that’s double it’s size…
oh it was a mini-stereo audio cable
same thing used to hook mp3 players up to stereos
thanks tho
yeah, it’s exactly the same thing
I have a problem with my comp. For some reason, whenever I try to bring up task manager, it wont pop out. Nothing happens. How did this occur?

Hello All.
I would appreciate it if someone could give me the name of some software which will allow me to break up a long MP3 file into smaller mp3 files.
So for example, so i have a song that last 5 miutes and i wanted 5 invidual songs eaching with a minute of that song.
thank you very much!
Real quick, desktop or laptop for college?
I’ve been told a lot to ignore getting a laptop and just go for a desktop. Mostly the laptop would be for taking with me to class and doing work then in my free time downloading, playing music, games, and surfing the web.
Which would be more convenient? I know desktop would be more for my buck.
both? My first year of college, I used to live 45 min bus ride away from uni. It was good doing stuff on laptop while on bus. Did all my assignments on it too. But I hardly used it at home.
try goldwave. I know it works and you might also need to download the LAME MP3 encoder. There might be simpler programs out there…if goldwave doesn’t work out for you, do a google search (like you should have done before asking)…I’m sure u’ll find plenty.
Do a virus scan.
I lived in the dorms for a few years with a desktop and it is the biggest pain in the ass to move back and forth between campus and your house at the end of spring and the beginning of fall. Tower + monitor + speakers + subwoofer = :sad:
