Yes, buffered if I've worked out how yet. iPod plays loads of different formats though, it's the conversion from DVD I couldn't work out. Mind you I didn't actually read any instructions just hoped my software would be easy to use.


In short, I too am curious.

So, any techies out there who're prepared to help out BN5 with his embarressing download shortcomings/difficulties and not make him feel as if you've just pulled his pants and trousers down in front of the whole school making him look weak and thick.

I have tried several programs, but the one that seems to be most recommended is a freebie called, Handbrake


http://handbrake.fr/


It has a bunch of presets including iPod as well


That said, I haven't used it in earnest yet, because.. well, time and faffage really - but this looks well do-able

Well done Sean. There are a lot of techies who would've taken that as an opportunity to flex their 'smug' muscles but you rose above it.


Guys, I think we've got the old Sean back that we all love, cherish and wish would just shut up sometimes.

*sighs*


what is this 'code' you speak of? When I started 'proper' work on my desk on my first day were:


A note pad

Pens

Pencisl

A rubber

Tipex

A file card box with file record carsd

A phone

An ashtray


..and everyone went down the pub for lunch everday except occasionaly Mondays

If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times DON'T YOU DARE F..KING LIE TO US QUIDS!!!


I used to work with Quids back in the late 90's and it was an open secret that Quids kept a little Philipino boy in a cage under his desk to run errands and perform tasks. Nothing innappropriate mind...just the occasional bet or check on the footie scores...for half a bounty bar a day.

I have done this. You download a DVD decoder, that rips the vid files off the DVD, either as one huge file, or seperated in to the chapters.


You then download an ipod converter, which will convert them in to MP4s, and away you go.


I have the software on my other laptop, so can't give links right now, but I managed it pretty easily, so a google search should point you in the right direction.

figured this was do-able: prob was/is that I don't really know how to filter out which of these websites will result in a massive viral porn download, so any recommendations for safe ways to go greatly received!


Does the same apply to converting stuff from youtube?




PS: In the interests of protecting admin and other users, this is a purely an academic exercise and I'm sure none of us habitually infringe copyright etc >:D<

for youtubage,


Downloadhelper


both captures and converts most legal streaming sites to several video formats


(assuming you use firefox for browsing, and sure why wouldn't you?)


BN5 - if you opt for Handbrake link above you won't be anywhere near any viral sites - are you worried about the software itself or when you decide to start downloading videos?

Try NoteTab (even the Light version). http://www.notetab.com/ I've memories of using it with files of several MB.


"BTW, as long as you're playing with NoteTab Light. I found a setting

where you can set the maximum file size. It was set at the default max

of 2 gigs." http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1961456.php

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
