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

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
