Does anyone know of a good cheap program to rotate a video shot on it's side or upside down? I have roxio, pinnacle, nero and some other crap.

Ned

Just built my own. Way fast, many slots and many USB ports, and a big sense of accomplishment. . . It wasn't that hard. Many hours of reading, and I knew virtually nothing about hardare prior. I think I will always build now, but I may recommend retail for my clueless friends and others I tech suppo...

speaking of weird files:

replace the *** with a word that ryhmes with truck or search for google:

IN automatic mode, it crashes In manual mode it freezes with USB2 (supposedly) driver In manual mode it says 4 hours to go with USB 1 driver Is it worth it? Does it suck or is there some way around it? To intall all my apps is starting to getting longer every year. I thoughy I set them up once and g...

Ned

Sweet computer

although some of it is beyond my needs

Ned

totally off topic question:

I tried to use GHOST to back up to a USB drive, crashes everytime, with USB1 OR USB2?

Anyone else understand this lameness? Something about general SMCD fault exception

Ned

I burned a 2 hour tape onto a 4.7GB DVD. It said "37% quality." Still trying to comppare it to the original and look for artifacts. BTW, I found that if you go find them, you can play the VOB files on the HD with WinDVD. I used the Pinnacle Studio. In other news, DEP module of SP2 was rest...

Ned

I just wound up using the rear audio connector

I have a lot to learn, but I got the capture card working. . .

Ned

The leads coming from the front panel of may case have the following names:

mic in
mic bias
ground
return L
return R
speakout L
speakout R

but the ASUS motherboard has the following terms:
+5VA
micpwr
AGND
mic2
BLINEOUTL
BLINEOUTR
LINEOUTL
LINEOUTR

I cant figure out how to connect it!

Ned

2 stupid questions: Hey, I got the Pinnacle card: Does the S-video cable carry sound too? (I only have onboard sound, which I never connected to the front panel due to confusing terminology) Can drive sizes be dynamically changed in XP under admin tools? I accidently made C: a tad too small I am con...

Ned

Since virtually everything MS says about this is incorrect, here is the key, for future ref:

regedit in the run command, then find:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList

Ned

{{Either accept it or do not watch it, then you will not have to clear the HISTORY!}}

The issue is the computer behaving the way I want it to, not fear of porn.

Ned

Yep

Finally deleted it in the registry. Nothing else would work, including their so called Bonus Pack Powertoys sh__t.

My opinion of MS has reached a new low. Do they not know how to program or do they choose not to?

Ned

ugggggg. Another inconvenient MS feature? If only they programmed like firefox.

Any easy ideas before I start googling? Somthing about an add-on, one old site said . . .

Ned

Defrag seems to have helped. Everything is good now. Never used SR before, so Im not too familiar with it.

I have leaned my cheap power supply lesson. I found a weird solder joint that was loose, probably due to heating stress in bad soldering job.

Ned

completely normal now, with new supply

HOOOORAYYYYYYYYY!

(Double plus, I hate returning things)

Another question though:

Shutdowns are slow now, probably due to the sudden death

Any hard drive optimization advice?

Ned

I bought a 400W Antec I'll toss it in late tonight and let you know. Thanks for the idea about tricking the supply. That was the issue I couldn't fully understand last night. Having everything just suddenly go dead was interesting . . . Can you imagine how you'd sh_t your pants if your were like on ...

Ned

Was busy fooling around, I read it. Plugged in or not plugged in, no voltages over 5v I think the high end died Ill get a new one tomorrow and keep you posted. Thanks for all the help. . . :) I took it apart to look for any scorches, etc. and OMG the quality of soldering inside the unit is pathetic....

Ned

I just tested the 20 pin connector disconnected from the MoBo

only 2 live connections:
"power supply on"
"5 volt standby"

http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6255-1041735-2.html

Ned

Im testing the supply now, yes it is way cheap

So the power plugs coming off the supply should always be live, right? Or do they need the MoBo?

Ned

Very close to this system

phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3051

Ned

Power supply is 400W and the system is home built. It was blowing decently warm air when poof, lights out.

I dont think any of the components draw that much (combined)

Ned

power reconnected to video and or HD doesn't help

Dumb question: If a CPU died, would I still get some fan noise when trying to power up?

Ned

I kind of hope it is the POwer supply A VERY cheap POwmax, case w/ PS $26 I put the VOM meter on the power connector for the HD and hit the reset switch, nothing I think maybe the power supply has low power, but not high. Isnt it like MB 5v , peripherals 12v????? Help And I gave away an old working ...

Ned

I pulled off the power cables to the following:

DVD
CD
floppy
HD
* nothing

I also pulled the power cable of the Vid card
* nothing

The only card on the MoBo is video GeForce 6800

Ned

like un plug CD and DVD?

Ned

nothing whatsoever

but there is a green light on the Mobo

I have a volt meter. How do power supplies work? Does the motherboard swith them on?

Ned

Ned

HELP I was playing doom when all the sudden everything shuts off: fans, HD, whatever. I hit the restart button and nothing. Motherboard has a happy green light, but the "on" switch does nothing. Currrently I am unplugging and waiting. 2 minute time outs have not helped. Computer running we...

Ned

Disagree The case was inadequately packed up for shipment and the drive may well have been someone else's defective return, confused in their pile of other returns and then sent on to me. And a LOT of equipment IS tested at the factory. Im not sure what your angle is, but respectfully tell you that ...

Ned

Drum roll. . . . . .

what did the results look like? Compared to the original.

Ned

Totally not starting windows? Restoring through DOS sounds tough. . . 40 viruses is a lot. A format and fresh install would be in order. If you have a free ribbon cable (slave) on another computer, you could copy off her files and backups. Some programs, i.e. AVG from Grisoft, attempt "healing&...

Ned

Now that I have a DVD burner. . . Has anyone tried to save an old favorite movie, VHS or PAL onto a DVD-R? I assume a little converter box gizmo would come into play, as RCA, s-video, and coax connectors (friendly to VCRs) are not entirely PC friendly. It would be great if anyone has done this succe...

Ned

quick update.

They sent the new one and it works fine. I like NewEggs website and speed but hmmmmmmmmm. . . .

a dead on arrival DVD burner and a bent ATX case, not a very good first experience.

Ned

This says their standalone player compatibility is almost equal.

Any y'all try to convert VHS tapes to DVD? I have some old movies I'd hate to lose.

Ned

Thanks. It seems like the machines are getting better and less picky.

Holy Crap, DVD-R versus DVD+R? I'll go read up on it. I swear these standards consortiums are making this waaay more complex than it needs to be.
