Thought for the month A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So...

I've authored a DVD with about 20 episodes of a TV show with TMPGEnc DVD Author, with menus, so the main menu shows the titles of episodes 1 - 5, the second 6 -10, etc. However, I made a big mistake during the second step of the process, and I selected as Firstplay Action -> Play all tracks...

Hi, I have removed NAV Corporate 8 without problems, but now, when I run some DOS apps I get an error error window of the 16 bits subsystem saying something like the app called Symantec\S32EVNT1.dll and that there was an error in the virtual device driver when initializing the dll. It gives me...

Possibly you know other ways to do it, but I didn't know how so I had to figure by myself. I'm sharing the tip in case it's useful for someone. I had a directory with 1200+ files and wanted to add a random number before to the filename. The file renamer I use, and several others I've checked...

Quote: "DVD+Audio is a DVD-Video compliant format, wich means that your normal standalone DVD player can play the DVD+Audio discs, no need to buy expensive new hardware. You can create a disc containing multiple albums, compiled from your own normal CD-Audio disc, but then in either high quality...

Hi, Does anybody know of any CDR software that runs without installation, directly from a CD or floppy? It might be DOS based or Windows based. I just want to burn to a CD loads of images that are stored in a PC (legally), but I'm not allowed to install any software, so currently I can only...

Is it possible to burn VCD or SVCD to a DVD+R without reencoding ? The idea is to fit several full length movies in a single DVD disc, instead of splitting each movie in 2-3 CDs: using the DVD disc as a "mega CD" I have read the threads...

I'm trying to make an VCD from an AVI file, following Chickenman's tutorial (as always) with TMPEnc. Strangely I get only about 7 minutes of film - the rest is a black image, with the audio OK !! Of course, the avi plays perfectly. Any suggestion will be appreciated

I've converted a DivX to VCD using Chickenman tutorial, and I've finished burning 2 VCD. They work perfectly. Now I'm considering adding a short "Change disc" movie at the end of the first disc, and a short "This is disc 2" at the beginning of the second disc. The problem is that I don't have...

Problems with Mandrake - need help I've decided to try Linux, so I've installed Mandrake 9. My PC is a PIII @ 500 Mhz with 256 Mb RAM. The main problem I'm having is that it hangs whenever I use OpenOffice for some time - and sometimes with other applications, like Mldonkey. I thought that it...

In the last days I've detected 2 different problems with the 'View new posts' option in the main page: * Sometimes I use it, take a look at the posts, close Opera , come back and use it again, I get a list with the preceeding posts plus any new that has come in between, and not only the new...

I installed Reget Deluxe (to compare it with Flashget) and set it to use a directory called 'Downloads' (it existed already) as default download directory. I didn't like it, so I uninstalled it. So far, so good. But now the Downloads directory has a different icon (see attached image, left...

This one is not as bad as the one about the three daughters I posted recently: It's about the Hare of March and the Mad Hatter. One of the was born in 1842 - but I won't tell you which -, and the other one in 1843 or in 1844 - but again, I won't tell you which -. But obviously the Hare of March...

This is a rather easy chess problem - however, many chess programs that defeat me easily can't solve it, so I've used it to test them. Black plays and wins. Note: the board is in normal position: the white's side is down - the pawn's movement is upward

What was the last move in this game ?

Keeping in line with teutonu's plan, here's another brain stretcher. I'd rate it as a little more difficult than teutonu's first one: Two friends meet in the street after some time of not seeing each other, and start talking: - You know, I've married and I have 3 daughters. The product of their...
