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

    • "What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???" Why is it perceived, Reeves is responsible for doubling the "black hole" to £20b through the public sector pay increases. You can't live beyond your means and when you try you go bankrupt pdq. In 4 yrs time if this Govt survives that long and the country doesn't go bust before then, in 2029 I dread to think the state the country will be in.  At least Sunak and co had inflation back to 2% with unemployment being stable and not rising.   
    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
