Anybody familiar with the movie and video formats? I've got .avi and .mpeg done but I'm not sure which of the others are movie formats and which are video. WMV is video and MPG and MOV are movie, I'm guessing, but what about .aiff and MP4? I'm only going to do the movie/video files already listed in package builder.

I too though they were being announced, but nothing seems to have been said.[/quote] Yup, that's them. Apparently they were announced but weren't important enough for many of the major tech sites to give a damn about. I did find this though. LINKAGE The info is scant to say the least. I guess m

Been spending some time playing Vegas... New Vegas... Fallout: New Vegas. Figured I should kick myself in the butt and get some work done though. So here's a file icon. Input appreciated. I *should* be able to get these done nice and quick. Just wanted to make sure people think this looks okay first.

If you're eating $30 dollars worth of macadamia nuts I don't whether you've lost your mind or if you've got more money than sense. The fact you're watching Dog the Bounty Hunter does sway my conclusion to the former though. Either that or you're bored off your ass [e digicons]:P[/e] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Not sure if my mind has gone. If it occasionally rewards you with bright lights and music in your head, what does that say?

[quote who="Uvah" reply="67" id="3050468"] Visually it was pretty good but lost it big time when they didn't stay true to the original. [/quote] I don't think it was ever going to remain true to the original. J.J. Abrams is (from what I've read) a Star Wars fan more than a Star Trek fan, plus, it's trying to bring in a new audience. Personally, I was always more a fan of Next Generation and Voyager when it comes to Star Trek. The original series never really did much f

[quote who="Uvah" reply="2" id="3050464"]Any site can thrive if just one belief is upheld, respect. Respect for the site admins, respect for the posters and more importantly respect for the newbies who get curious enough to want to join in the fun.[/quote] I agree, Uvah. But it must be understood that respect is earned, not given, and should never be taken for granted.

No problem, Jim. As far as the sales people, you'd have to have a seriously crappy CPU for it to make any difference. I'm only running on a Phenom II dual core. I'm guessing they were confusing CPU with motherboard, and that's because of SATA III. Like Jorge stated, buying an SSD is the single biggest difference you can make to your computer. For many years, the hard drive was the bottleneck in pretty much all systems. SSD's changed that. Anyway, it's not uncommon for

Not that generic memory is bad. I'm using Crucial's generic no-frills memory, but that's be

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="38" id="3049931"]I was referring to "genre", not "quality", so essentially the threads gone to "apples and oranges", one of which (option) is far from ripe.[/quote] To be honest, Doc, I've been up for nearly 24 hours now. It's best I don't debate the issue.
