I've always liked Nero

If you want to copy a copy-protected movie, assuming that it's legal where you are, I'm a fan of DVD Shrinkwhich will remove the copy protection and also shring the DVD content to fit on something smaller (say shrink a dual layer movie... most are) to fit on a regular 4.7Gb single layer DVD

I normally use Riptit4me which combines DVDshrink and DvdDecrypter to rip and burn copyrighted DVD's but this isn't. It's a disc I created from a mini-dv.

I think I've sorted it now though using this

This might have been asked but it's difficult to now skim 24 pages to find out, forgive me if it was asked and answered.

I updated to firefox 3 and then the subsequent updates. I know it's firefox causing this. It doesn't like CSS and reacts badly on some sites. Randomly. It was doing it on worth consistently. I tried to backtrack to 2 but that didn't work with some add ons (like session manager) and I want to keep my current session. So I went back to firefox 3 with no futher updates. Worth is ok but several other sites are just ugly (petfinder, stockxpert and a few photo forums). I don't spend lots of time there but it's difficult to do anything with the page format all wonky. I cannot do anything with petfinder, the links won't work properly.

Is there anything I can do? Is there a way to store the session and bring it back in firefox 2? The only help I found on Mozilla's site was to dump 3 and go back to 2 but nothing on dealing with add ons that won't work on 2.

Isn't firefox open source? Can't someone fix the code to work with CSS in 3? (rhetorical question that last one)

I've just had a look at petfinder & stockxpert in FF3, Chrome, Opera and IE7 and excepting the minor rendering differences between those 4 the pages looked identical.

Which makes me wonder if the blame does lie with Firefox.

Can you grab a screen shot of it going wrong?

This is from the other day when it happened on worth with 3.04 installed. When I deleted 3.04 and installed three it worked fine for a few days and then started happening on the other pages I mentioned (worth is still fine and tonight it seems ok, for now). It's just random and frustrating. I would link to the forum topic on FF that I found but apparently their "older" forum posts are giving error messages right now.

I've seen that one before, but only on certain news sites. I'd always just assumed that it was a server error brought on by high traffic, or some such.

I've looked into it a little bit and it turns out that it's a case of Firefox is right and IE (Opera as well as it turns out) is wrong.

But Firefox is being a code nazi whereas IE and Opera are more willing to say "I know what you meant." in the event of sloppy coding.

The examples I found were all of the ilk of expressions starting with a ( and ending with a } or vice versa.

Not sure why that would be intermittent though.

Second!

Third!

thanks! now that i've finally finished the flash file i'd like to host, and looked at that website, i don't think i want to use it ... it won't show me it's terms and conditions page, and i won't trust the website without seeing it. (it also is favored for showing a lot of adult content, which makes me less trusting of it ...)

are there other web hosts that'll take flash files and host them for free? i've already discovered photobucket can, but won't with the free account i have there.

I've no experience of and so don't give any recommendation, but you could try these guys:



Alternatively, if it is for professional purposes then it might be an idea to pony up a subscription somewhere.

A lot of people might look on free hosting as unprofessional looking - idiots IMO and it shows you're not frivolous with cash, but being an idiot is not necessarily a bar to success in this world...

How do you make a animated GIF or where can I find some?

Get The Gimp.

When you save a layered image as a gif it gives you the option to save each layer as a frame.

tHANKS pOCK

nO pROBLEM.

i've heard of this before, but how does gimp assemble the frames? would the layer on top of gimp's layer list be the first frame of the animated gif?

way back when, microsoft had Image Composer, with an animator attachment. it was decent enough for making and animating gifs. though, as you insert the images as frames, the program would put the new image before the last image it received, thus would run the animation 'backward' when all images were imported.

would gimp have that tendency towards importing frames into an animated gif?

Other way around - the bottom layer in the list is the first in the animation sequence.

And then if you want to add frames you just add the new layer then shift it up/down to where you want it in the sequence.

It works pretty well.

I have a Macbook Pro installed with Leopard (10.5). I am selling it. I created a new user and deleted the User I had the entire existence of the computer.

Is there anything further I need to do to erase my personal information?
