Mainter Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 If you have any trouble converting DAT file install MPEG-2 Decoder. During the installation, make sure you check MPEG-2 Filter box on the step of "Select other filters to install". http://www.x-kit.com/codec/codec-pack.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainter Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 the following instructions will allow your computer to shut down much faster. This specific change tells the operating system to shut down the services on your computer at faster rate; instead of shutting down at the default 20,000 ms, your computer will be shutting down those services in 1,000 ms, after applying this change you should see a significant difference in the amount of time it takes to shutdown your PC. Below you'll find some simple steps to speed up your computers shut down time. 1. These tweaks require that you venture into your registry, please backup your registry. 2. Go to Start > Run when the Run box opens type in regedit 3. Your registry should have opened [Just checking...have you backed up your registry?] Navigate to the following keys; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control 4. When you get to Control click on it, the pane to the right should have a listing of several keys, double-click on; >WaitToKillServiceTimeout, change it to '1000' (changing this forces your computer during shutdown to end services that are running much faster) 5. Once you 've changed these settings restart your computer and your settings should have taken effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainter Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 casek Linux Hackers Re-claim the Linksys WRT54G As predicted, the open source community has come up with a way to convert VxWorks-based LinkSys wireless WRT54G routers to Linux. The process does not require hardware hacking, and installs a recent version of "DD-WRT micro." A version of Linux that supports the VxWorks-based "series 5" WRT54G has been available since April, when the DD-WRT project created its "micro" edition, with a 1.7MB footprint. However, the firmware could only be installed on routers modified to expose their JTAG ports (complicated instructions here). Now, Jeremy Collake, aka "db90h," appears to have created a "VxWorks Killer" flash image that overwrites the VxWorks bootloader on series 5 WRT54G routers with normal Broadcom CFE firmware. This then enables the device to be put into maintenance mode at startup, after which Linux firmware can be installed easily. ... Read the full story at Linux Hackers Re-claim the Linksys WRT54G.

Mainter Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 High-Tech Bedtime Prayer Now I lay me down to sleep, from the nightstand buttons beep. PC all set to download a file, and send the mail in a little while. Then gather the news before the dawn, and all the scores from fans long gone. The AC is set to cut back on cool; Lights to blink, the burglars to fool. Alarm clock set on delayed shutoff; CD to play some, then cutoff. Sleep-maker set on medium tension, Voice mail set on no-wake suspension. Burglar alarm on delay activate; Carport lite on, for son who's late. Mr. Coffee all set to percolate; Dishwasher to run at ten of eight. Air purifier cleans each hour tonite; Water filter to fill the tank just right. TiVo to record three good shows, Something to watch during winter snows. Motion detectors on, to check what moves; White noise machine set to seaside soothes. Camcorder is ready to film in a flash Blender's all set, the fruit to mash. Lord, bless our all-electric domain; Keep lightning away should it rain. Let no errant shock reset it all; Watch over the breaker box in the hall. I'm wide awake now from all this hassle; God bless our multi-megawatt castle.

It makes sense, if you ever tried to retrieve a deleted ext2 file....you can do it, but the data gets scrambled. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hold on a sec....I'm not claiming to be anything other than the resident Linux grouch. Mainter and Casek are the real deal, I'm just broke and had to figure out how to do it all by myself. Having said that, if I can help, I will. But, bear in mind that I'm only slightly less dumb about computers than most people here. That's not false modesty, either... Hey, I need some XP video editing apps and/or a editing suite for a certain charming young lady I know....not me. (I'm still on the UNIX team.) If anybody can help I would appreciate it a great deal....PM or email me with any details, and I'll make the arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 OK, ended up buying a new graphics card so problem fixed, the hard way..i just couldnt lose anymore work time so i dropped the 80 bucks on an ATI this time. More problems that need solutions: 1. Theres something wrong with firefox. When i try to open pages that have a video (and an embeded player, usually qtime or media player) it doesnt show anything in there. I open the same link in IE and it works...any ideas? 2. I'm feeling opera alot but i just leave firefox i think, still what do you think about the torrent function in opera? didnt really work for me. Is there a way to bypass it and keep sending torrents to utorrent?! 3. Last question, whats a good program for downloading, something that will allow to dl all the target images from a thumbnail page etc etc etc bonus: http://www.luba-archives.com/Luba/videos.html its a bit stupid like that.

Well, she said Premiere didn't work too well on her laptop. I've heard a lot about Avid Express. I know nothing about video editing, or apps used to do it. I offered to help her find a (ahem), "demo" version, if you know what I mean. Meh. Time to go to SLSK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 btw: what ati card did you get? you should b ehappy with whatever you got, assuming it's over a radeon 9250. ati makes a good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i got the 9800 and its already much better than my previus nvidia one with the same specs more or less. I like the card, i'd just prefer the 80 euros in my pocket... shai, avid is the No1 software used by montage people, its very good. Still, sony vegas is most likely the best piece of software for begginers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 no doubt. 9800 hasn't got bad specs at all. there are some things ati has that nvidia doesn't, but not much difference, like you said. $80 euros? that would be over $100 here, right? maybe a little over? and yes, vegas video is bad ass. you can do alot more than you think with it. vegas is one of my favourites. and avid is the shit, too. they make softs for PCs now. i have some. "liquid" i think it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> Try Opera. www.opera.com It seems to be a lot more stable then Firefox. I prefer it over Firefox personally, so I admit there's a bias here. Just so you know, I agree with Mainter that Firefox is a excellent project/browser, but as of late it seems to be plagued with stability issues. Hmm. Thanks will give that a try. It's strange, I have never ever had a problem with firefox until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
