I have tried it a second time now. The first was just with a single video file. This time I put 8 episodes of series on there. I really really liked the way that it automatically formats the files to optimise them so they fit on the disk. What I mean is, I like how it let me put 8 hours worth of video on their and automatically changed the bitrates so they fitted. ImToo dvd creator simply gives you a set option, and would never have let me put this much onto 1 disk. It's only failiure here was the lack of a menu, but it appears as though one is forthcoming. Good work mr odwin!

I'm 22 and not anywhere near where I thought I would be at this point. I had to leave uni, so I haven't got the degree I deserve. But I'm making a sucess out of my job, and i'm enrolling at the open university so I can finish my degree. Maybe I'll be where I want to be in a few years.

I like it. Its quite simple to use, although I do find it a bit tricky the way it opens so many programs. I wasn't sure if it was finished or not. One thing I didn;t like was that there wasn;t an obvious way to ensure that the selection of video files will be 1 dvd's worth. I usually use ImToo dvd creator to do this, which clearly has less functionality as there are far far fewer setting, but it is easy to make a compilation of video files and you know it'll fit. I was using the standard one btw.

Britians latest Eurovision entry again seemed doomed to failiure -
nice bundle. I got a 360 recently, and absolutely love it.

i just bought the debut album by: http://www.myspace.com/amiina I saw them support sigur ros a while back and loved it. They are really unusual, and play the saw, which anyone who has heard ti will tell you its on of the most haunting sounds you'll ever hear. Can't wait for ti to arrive. Also bought myself a very nice pair of lee cooper jeans. I love pay day.

Sunn0))) are great, really interesting bizarre stuff. I had the chance the see them play with Earth a while back, and stupidly I went to another gig instead. I really regret it now.

i've met kim and aggie too! 1 have 2 sets of friends who have been on the show, and for the most recent one I went down for the filming so spent 2 days down there watching them make the show, and for some reason the production crew put my train tickets and all my food on their expenses budget.

Just bought myself Halo triple pack, with halo 1, 2 and map pack. very pleased with it, as a played halo heaps when it first came out, but have had 4 depressing halo free years since then

back on topic: I don't know Chromeo, but the previous mentioed band was Cult Of Luna, who I really like. They are pretentious and all that stuff, butits really majestic, powerfull stuff. Excellent live too. 9/10 Isis (or chromeo, depending on who you know)
-
Everyone should check them out. EVERYONE! btw you spelt it wrong, its 65daysofstatic. sorry to be pedandtic!
-
Killswitch engage are great, I listened to them every now and them and kinda liked them, then I saw them live, and was amazed how much they improved live. good stuff. In other, insanely awesome news, I have 99% definietly secured myself a ticket to ATP vs the fans! SO so pleased. Explosions in the sky, Mogwai, Isis etc here I come!

I work in insurance. (not showing off, it's not something you would show off about, I'm just tryoing to give my statements credentials) Your cheapest option would be to try and get it added onto your/your parents household insurance. This is almost always the cheapest option - the company i work for is £40 a year. Few things you need to check though: 1) the Excess. Some places will charge a min excess of £100, which instantly reduces the use of the insurance. My company is £25 exess for phones, which is one of the lower ones 2) the allowed value of phone. I(nusrance through banlks may have a limit on the value of phone, I know natwest's limit is only £250, which for the majority of new models is very inadequate, especially when you include the excess. Find one with either unlimited or £500 cover. - remember you replace it at the cost of 'handset only', not the cost of buying it subsidized on PAYG/contract 3) check cover for unauthorised calls. Someone can easily rack up £100's of calls in a few hours, so make sure you have cover for that, as losing the phone isnt the only cost of losing it. if you see what i mean.

Sorry to bump, but still having issues. I know have a more than adequate gfx card and a far more powerfull PSU but i'm still having issues. I think its still a graphics problem, but possibly down to my monitor. When I load up the game it shows 2 low res intro videos, then cut out, with no output to the monitor with a restart the only option. Alternatively if I disconnect my second display i do get the menu screen, but I only get the top corner of it. I cant work out what the problem is - is it possible that its because of the maximum resolution my monitor displays isnt high enough? It's about 8 years old and the highest resolution it displays is 1024x768. Really getting annoyed now, I have spent about £100 on PC upgrades simply to play this game, and it's turning into a personal vendetta now!
-
i purchesed myself a new PSU. And i hate myself for it - its feels like an insanely geeky upgrade to do. ah well. I also bought myself a couple of really nice tshirts from debenhams I cant find a pic of the other one. They are both for some weird reason organic. I really don't see the point, but I loved the t shirts.

Friday night lights 7/10 I bought this film simply for the sound track (it's almost entirely Explosions in the Sky). I ended up really enjoying it. I might give the tv series a whirl, even though i assume that soundtrack won't include EITS
-
excellent. as ever this board hasnt let me down for pc related geekery, thanks!
-
sorry to bump, but are you all sure that this is the only opinion any of you have on this? remeber how great you all are!

I need to upgrade my PSU, as my new graphics card needs a power supply, and my existing PSU cuts out whenever I plug it in. The probblem is that I have no idea how much power I need. I have tried google, but no joy, mainly as I'm not very PC minded and just get confused. I have checked my mainboard manual, and an unable to find its maximum power, nor can I find the rewquired power for other components, so I am hoping you find people can help! My Current PSU is 250w. I have a MSI K8Mm3 series main board 2 x IDE HDD 1 dvd drive 1 dvdrw drive and the graphics card I want to fit isAsus AX800XT If one of you could estimate my power needs that would be great! I hope I have provided all the necessary info.

I cannot believe I get aggro from not one but two people for comparing 2 bands... I never stated a preference for or against cannibal corpse, however they are generally considered to be a good example of their genre so seemed like a reasonable band to compare too. And as for not getting the specific genre correct... wtf... It was 8 in the morning, on their crappy myspace page hearing the first (very very poor) 30 seconds of two tracks. I'm not a 'metal head', so I don't know exact genres, when TBH alot fo the differences between genres are based on lyrical content, which given the vocal style used, the majority listeners will hear no difference between the two. I listen to a lot of metal, and have seen a lot of metal acts live, but I also like to spread my wings a bit, and try some varietyso I am not, and mnever claimed to have been, an expert on obscure metal genres. Thank you
-
don't you remeber what happened last time someone posted a ridiculously obscure band? I did a google and found their myspace. Not impressed, They sound like a pretty weak attempt at Cannibal Corpse 2/10 Secret Chiefs 3

i don't know why more of you dont get unlimited cards. I pay £10.99 a month for cineworld, which is less than it would cost most of you guys to go just once. as for food, i have never had any problems taking food in. The best was when I went to Dominoes next door and carried in 2 pizzas in a sports bag. Delicious.

i have been thinking baout ti literally for months, but I think this will svae me money, as its about £100 a month, but will mean i save £50 is assorted interest charges and payments to keep accounts ok. Plus its a real weight of my mind to have debt in 1 place rather than 2 overdrafts and a credit card.
-
i bought myself £5000 today. Decided to go proactive to pay of the debts i managed to accrue as a student, and its definietely a weight off my mind. I also bought some groceries, including choclate digestives. So good for dunking in milk, as the chocolate holds them together and you can fit far more milk into them without a structural collapse!
