Well, this one... wow... it's just... well, wow... Something making the news rounds. Whether it's true or not is up in the air. Seems some kid got an NFL 2007 Game for his XBox 360. His parents got it a Circuit City. Imagine everyone's surprise when the kid inserts the game into his XBox 360... and, instead of a game booting up... it's porno showing two people... er... booting up...! Circuit City says they're investigating and that there have been no other such complaints thus far. There are only two solutions. Without seeing the actual disc in question and make sure it has a label, legitimate markings, and is fit securely to the disc, it is still possible it was done on purpose. A gag at some point in the process, either by the manufacturer or the purchaser. The other is the more likely one. That the factory hired to press an order of these game discs was also hired by a company to press an order of porn movie discs. Which could mean, and most likely would mean... that there are many other discs that are also likely swapped around in the same way!

Don't know what the DVDMovieAlbum is. I just use Tsunami or Nero Vision Express to read in the VRO into DVD-Video VOB standard.

Wow... uh... Kirk, I'm not entirely sure that avatar is... well...

If you've got one of those Panasonic DMR models like I've got, then, you'll want to use DVD-RAM for the most part as that's all you can really edit with, besides taking it over to the PC. Which I recommend doing, anyway. Reading the recorded VRO file to something that can read it and make your own DVD and edits from there. I've been using Panasonic's models since 2002 and I am well aware of the frustrations and limitations in those 4 years.

Polo beat me to Hope's quote! Ford had a few great quips of his own. About his notoriously bad golfing, he said that people would shout "FORD!" instead of "FORE!" when he got onto the green! And, said at an appearance in Chicago, I think, at an automobile plant: "I'm no Lincoln. I'm just a Ford."

Only problem is how can the contents of the image not be static? It's not like the web page, where the Top button is an item on the page that has to be loaded. The image itself is, yes, but, it's contents cannot changed... unless someone edits it.

Let's add another one! Rock Quarry?

Ah, but, if you say you can't see volvo's editing, that directly implies he did the editing and you just can't see it. Which means, still, he did the editing. QED.

Oh, come on that has to be an edit! How can it show up on my computer, at home, in MSPaint but conveniently not show up in a second version? Why not try to reply to the original post and see what comes up? Plus, why is there a convenient rectangular shaped area that is slightly discolored and the 2nd one below that has a few little smudges where the overlay didn't quite fit?

Okay, so you see it now? Sorry to hear about the plumbing problems. I remember once waking up to one on a Sunday. There was a slight problem with the bathroom tap knobs. They were too lose and some water was dripping. I had isolated it down to the hot side and tapped it gently with a screwdriver to indicate the one I was thinking while thinking about it. To my complete surprise, the little H cover over the knob suddenly shot off into the air and bounced off the roof! Then, a huge spray of pressurized hot water started shooting into the ceiling! Had to turn off the water to part of the house as turning off the water under the sink wasn't doing the trick. The entire faucet assembly had to be replaced.

Are you just being cheeky or is the image I inserted into my last post not showing up?

That's what it was. The Top button had become replaced with the Slysoft fox logo.

See what I see? I am guessing this is another case like my Smilie that was replaced by a King Of The Hill image of Bobby kicking someone in the groin. So, will test clearing my cache.

Do we now suddenly have the Slysoft logo appearing under each post on the left side? And, if so, why? It seems to be a link to a Javascript to do something that does nothing.

WHAT?!

Aw, man! I'd not heard of this yet! I was still recovering from the loss of Joe Barbera! :cry: I loved Over And Over. "She would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. SHE would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. SHE would a'wait and a'wait and a'wait and a'wait for her steady date. Ah ooom! Ah ooom! Ah ooom! Ah ooom!" There's just something about the Ah ooom!" that makes you want to sing along. You know it's there, you know it's coming, and, you wait for it.

Title says it all. Any suggestions welcome. Have already tried VideoLan/VLC Player. Thanks!

Tonight's Dr. Demento Show added another yule classic: You Ain't Gettin' Shit For Christmas! By Red Peters You know, they say Christmas is a time for givin' at least that's what the Good Book says. And, at our house every Christmas Eve, our son and daughter and their families always drive down from the big city for an old-fashioned family holiday. Heck, Ma dresses up the house like a Christmas sky. You can hear her in the kitchen singin' while she's bakin' cookies for the children, and she spends hours wrappin' the presents. She's been buyin' since last August! She hangs all the stockings all over the fireplace. And the morning of, I cut me down the prettiest Christmas tree you ever saw in your life! This year, we really outdid ourselves! Ma and I are gettin' on in our years, so we decided to give the kids tax-free cash gifts of $10,000 each! Well, I reckon it was around noon when I heard the dog barkin'. It was Jim the mailman in his old Santa cap, coming up the walk, teasin' the dogs, as usual, holdin' a package. While he was headed over he said, "Pappy, looks like you got an old package from your daughter." Well, Ma tore it open and to both our horrors we unwrapped a fruitcake and a note that read: "Hello, Mom and Dad; At the last minute we got a cheap fare on the Internet and went to Hawaii! Hold on to our gifts 'til after the first of the year! Love, Princess!" Well, Ma's heart was broken and I felt a lump in my throat as I thought to myself: CHORUS: You ain't gettin' shit for Christmas! You can shove that fruitcake up your ass! You ain't gettin' shit! No, you ain't gettin' dick! You ain't gettin' shit for Christmas! Well, you know, Ma hasn't had a drink in 20 years, and I, I've been off the sauce myself for awhile now, and heck, if there was ever an excuse to start drinkin' again... SFX: Doorbell Who in tarnation could that be?! Junior and his family?! Ah, it was some delivery fella standin' there, holdin' what looked like a fruitcake tin with a card attached! "Pop, the company condo's free this week, and you know how much Pumpkin and I love Hilton Head! Please forward our gifts to this address." SFX: Beer can opening Hey, Ma, save some of that for me! Well, Ma took a conniption and things turned real ugly! She started breakin' things and hurlin' turkey and those two fruitcakes right through the front window and the whole time she was yellin', CHORUS SFX (Playing while Chorus repeats): screams, punches, shouting, breaking glass, objects thrown, wood cracking, crying, machine gun fire, bombs going off, fire truck sirens And to all a good night!

Typical. More of my stupid life. Jumping uselessly through hoops that others don't have to. It seems that the copy command above may be only half the steps. After it created the resulting combined MPG there was something wrong with the key frames or something. The video was mostly lengthened still frames. But, when I loaded the MPG in VirtualDub and used Full Processing Mode to save it to a Divx AVI using the highest quality, 10, preconfiguration option thing, it saved an AVI of the two MPG's merged together that played properly... whatever.

I'm just glad I've found someone who can explain it to me. I know so little about DVD's, it all seems so confusing, and too many places don't want you asking because it's easier to just shut about talking of the internal workings of a DVD than it is to filter out those asking for copying reasons versus someone who wants some knowledge.

Maybe Time-Warner will do better. I've not switched over to RoadRunner yet, but, it sounds like I'll have to. I'm worried most about losing my Usenet bandwidth, though.

Question about seamless layer breaks. How exactly do they work? The layer break has to be present in there, I'm guessing for it to work. That if you IFOEdit the IFO, you'll still find the layer break listed in there. But, how does the player simply not pause at it like before?

The current accepted theory on why yawning is contagious is a psycho-social one. It was observed among dog packs that, in general, one accepted time of evening, on average, was when every member would go to sleep. So, to insure that everyone went to sleep at roughly the same time and each member would be refreshed all at the same time upon morning, the contagious yawning naturally evolved. The first one to get sleepy would yawn and spur on others to do it, eventually all of them becoming sleepy and go to bed at roughly the same time.
