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.

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

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
