Check the file sizes of your converted files, chatman. The ISO standard for DVDs does not allow any single file to exceed 2 GB in size (that's why the 3.65 GB original was split into two files in the first place). Although a standard DVD can hold up to 4.7 GB of data, no single file on the disk may be greater than 2 GB.  Even a long play DVD movie of 4.7 GB is stored on the DVD as a collection of smaller "chapter" files. You don't see that when the movie plays, because the files are usually called sequentially, without any prompt from you.

Your burner program may be refusing to write to the DVD because it can't, if you are trying to burn files > 2 GB. Some burner programs won't warn you of this ahead of time, and will attempt to burn the first 2 GB of data to the disk, then the program will hang or crash.

@raphjd:

If you keep your computer fully updated with the previous automatic updates, it should only take about 15 minutes {including below}.

It will need 1 automatic reboot and 1 manual full shut down to finish.

cool, thank you 🙂

^ Thanks, twinkletoes!

I left the other place at the request of a moderator, who felt I was too opinionated.

We like opinions here.

The only people that are "asked to leave" are people that break the forum rules; ie flaming.  I only know of 1 person who was banned for that in 3 years.

hello. yes, technically you got the point about proxies. no worries, you may use them for anonymization of your transfers. however, there may occure some transfer problems because of the sake of BT protocol which is designed to accept only one connection at a time from the same IP address. nonetheless, some clients have this option variable (like uTorrent) and you can enable or disable the allowance of multiple connections from the same IP address but also you have to be accepted by the other side. uTorrent in default is set to reject multiple connections. this shouldn't cause a big harm to a swarm, still in the theoretical model of all peers with the same IP address this would cause freezing of all transfers.

I have used mac os x, and linux (ubuntu, badger something? about 3 years ago). And I still prefer windows over those ones.

I think Breezy Badger  may have been back before I was born!

I don't know about other countries, but in the UK, you can get a cheap OEM version of an operating system by buying it with another computer part; ie a new hard drive.

If you need to upgrade your computer anyway, this helps save a bunch of money on the full cost of the operating system.

Hi there..

Thanks for the reply.. I will give that "where is it?" a try tonight.

There was another one i tried Which is not bad and that Ant Catalogue (hxxp://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog/download/) this one lets anyone create script scrapers. Lots of people requesting gay ones but no one's responding. There are a couple of scrapers in it that pull down Gay porn movies but not very discriptive..

Thanks for you help if you or anyone comes across anything please let me know!

Joe

I don't plan to "upgrade," either.

Microsoft products are just too expensive when you consider you can get free OSs that are even better.

I do think that the "XP Mode" will win over a number of businesses and other users, though. That's brilliant.

But Win 7 isn't going to win back 95% market share for MS.  They're just gonna have to learn to live with a mere 90%!

marslander, you're NOT going to get the angryyoungmen videos with ANY of the video download tools suggested.

The swf player streams the videos online, it doesn't download a video file to some temporary location on your computer. There is no video file stored locally for you to retrieve.

That does NOT mean that you can't copy the videos, however. What you need to do is install a serial screen grab utility like CamStudio. Such a tool takes serial screenshots of a portion of your screen (say, for example, the window in which the video plays) and records the audio output for the same duration. The software then recreates the movie by re-assembling the serial screenshots and sound back into a movie.

You will lose a small amount of resolution this way, but it is not generally noticeable. And there is no way any site of any kind can ever block this kind of copying. It is not illegal to copy videos by this technique in the USA (it is legally equivalent to photographing your screen with a video camera).

CamStudio is just an example. Google "free screen grabbers" and find something that suits you.

I've always hated this too.

Most of the stuff you see this way comes from News Groups, because UseNet has a 15mb file size restriction.  However, it doesn't mean that it has to be posted on other sites in the same format.

If I get a file in that format and want to post it on other sites, I always unRar/unZip it before posting.   Some times I do leave files with a .exe file in rar format because people tend not to like then in their natural state.

It's still happening.

The torrents are very fast.  I had one the other day doing over 7.8mB.

Hi pickknic(?),

i search at http://main.saugstube-torrent.to

😉

I did the firmware update a few days after I built this system and the burners were working fine for months.

I replaced both burners with Optiarc AD 7200S {Sony - NEC joint venture} burners and I have no problems at all.  I haven't done the firmware upgrade yet, but they work like a charm on any disc I throw at them.

I wonder if there is something on The Tudors dvd that might have caused this.  Sony got caught putting rootkits on their cds and dvds a few times over the last couple of years. So I wonder if something similar happened here.

@geyser22:

. The message said there is limit connection. Is there a way to fix that. Thanks  ???

Hmm… It's a little tough to tell for sure without knowing the router, and other connecting gear models or specifications, but my guess is that your router is acting like a switch, and your ISP is providing only one IP address.  A router (one with NAT -- Network Address Translation), takes that one address, and then hides the other computers you have connected behind itself.  It makes more addresses on the "inside" network, then passes requests from the inside to the outside, and data back inside from the outside.

showip.net will show you what the outside IP address is.  If it matches what your computer's operating system thinks is it's ip address, then NAT isn't working, and your router needs a checkup.  Since he's using Utorrent, he's likely running Windows, and you can use this procedure to find our internal address:

Click on "Start > Run" and in the blank box type (without quotes) "CMD" amd press the Enter key.
A black window will appear, this is the "Command Prompt"
There, type (without quotes) "IPCONFIG" and press the Enter key. That will show you your Internal IP Address. If you see many entries here, look for the one that is under the name of "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:"

If the addresses are the same, or if either is the same as the external address, you need to set your router to properly hand out internal IP addresses.  I'd be happy to guide you through it, but I need more details.

So far, I've collected 480 full-length movies and video clips. … Everybody on this site would go nuts for the stuff I have. If I knew how to upload this, I'd be one popular guy.

Let us all help you to get popular :))

Sincerely: let us help you out and DO ask about your problems!

Hell, I don't even open annoying chain mails from my mom's bf. And I have firewall set to "Paranoid". Enough said.
