I have a number of source files that I want to normalise the audio for—some are too loud and some are too soft. What I want to be able to do is either grab the lot (files) and find the loudest and softest and then adjust the audio on each DVD/MPEG2 file—preferably saving the DVD/MPEG2 file with...

I have a couple of VOB files that I want to add to a DVD—except the VOB files in question won't play with audio. If I use MPC on the computer, or Nero Show Time, the files play just fine. When I use Nero VisionExpress to author the DVD, the files play but ther is no audio. As near as I can...

The exploit uses vulnerabilities in WMF and (possibly) EMF files. IE is automatically vulnerable, FF users have to do something stupid. Opera users are (apes) ignored. :) Sorry Tea. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28590

:eekers: You can't even buy a player yet! ANd given all the DRM crap they are trying to load it down with, hopefully you won't ever be able to. Anyhoo, 50GB luvin' is here... http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/storage/display/20051205220407.html

A friend decided they wanted a new computer during the week. So, specced it out and grabbed the bits. Was very explicit about getting a Samsung HDD (among others)—120GB PATA 8MB, because I couldn't find a SATA. Anyway, could not get this sucker to install XP. It would do the intial install...

Floppies really give me the irrits. I could burn onto CD/CDRW, but a thumb drive seems much easier. Sometimes still I absolutely have to boot into DOS from a floppy.

though because of a few shots at an NVIDIA sponsored ATi v NVIDIA white paper, I don't know how long it will be up for (see pg 8). Get it while it lasts http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_video_quality_analysis/default.asp

SCSI n00b question. Please play nice All this talk over on jsp0's thread, and my X2 upgrade success has gotten me thinking about SCSI. I'm thinking that the next bottleneck may be disc. So, a 15K boot drive may be in the future. So I did a little looking around, and I see: 68 pin, 80 pin &...

I need a SATA PCI card. Any recommendations out there? I have had a reasonable experience with a Promise Ultra-100, so is their SATA chipset any good? I don't need RAID and two ports should be enough, four would be a bonus. Plain vanilla.

Man, I really thought they had their sh!t sorted Apparently, the KT890 chipset will not work with Athlon 64 X2, but the KT800/Pro will. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipsets/display/20050603042038.html

CRT's can display almost any resolution known to man--today's 19" CRT will still display odd resolutions like old DOS games 640 x 400 (not 480) or even 320 x 240. Can LCD's do this as well? I see a lot of info where they only list certain resolutions, and anything much below the optimal (1280...

I am getting a weird error in WinXP SP2. I have three hard drives installed WD800JB, SP1213N and 6Y120M0. The Samsung and Maxtor have one dynamic partition each whilst the WD has three basic partitions and is the boot drive. At odd intervals, the following event shows up in the Event Log...

Hi gurus's, I'm thinking of going the FP display route for space reasons primarily--at present I'm using a 19" CRT--and was wanting recommendations on models to look at as I have not dabbled in these waters. I'm looking at 19" CRT's, maybe a 17" if it's really good. I don't do FP...

Hi all, this is what I'm thinking of doing, but I'm not sure if it is a good idea. People are always asking me advice on what to buy and or to build them a box. What I'm proposing to do is come up with a limited box config, and go to the local markets and grab some stuff, put it all together...

Tony is just gunna love this... My system is an Athlon 2800+ (o/ced to 2250MHz). Boot disk WD 800JB (Primary Master, no slave). Just added a Maxtor 6Y120M0 (DiamondMax 9+) on the SATA 1 port. Motherboard is Abit KV8 Pro. When I copy files from the WD to the SATA disc, CPU utilisation goes...

I have been playing around with this (thanks Jan), and it is indeed a cool thing, but it locks up my system after a few minutes. Does anybody know of any fixes? The only thing out of the ordinary is my system clock, 265 MHz vs stock 200 :) keeping voltage the same and dropping the multi...

I'm using it to convert an AVI file to SVCD to play on the TV. The encoder in use is TMPGEnc, and the AVI file needs the XViD codec to be playable. My question is, this 48 min AVI has taken nearly 2 hours to process 25%. Is this normal? I'm after quality. Is there a better way to do this...

I am thinking of grabbing a S754 mobo and want one that is overclocking friendly--but on a budget. I have always tended to use EPoX or Abit, but their boards tend to be at the high end. What I would prefer VIA K8T800/Pro chipset or NVIDIA nForce3 250. BIOS adjustable bus speeds in 1 MHz...

I found this post over on Ace's about SATA-2. The answer from Maxtor seems a little disturbing. This could be another case of marketing triumphing over truth. Basically it is saying that parts (all?) of the SATA-2 spec are optional--like support for faster transfers etc. I realise that at...

I have been trying to help a guy at work with a WD SATA HD issue--80GB JB. Basically, Windows XP will not install on the drive. It (XP) tries to create a 8GB partition to install on, gets partway through and then cannot recognise the drive (Intel i815 mobo). After suggestion running...

Does anybody know of a monitoring utility like Task Manager for Windows 98? Basically I want to see a list of running processes and what's chewing up cycles. As I'll only use this once, if it's free or shareware, it would be a bonus. TIA

I seem to need a lot of help these days—or SF is a really good resource :wink: I need to create a HTML document from XML/XSL/XSLT, but the HTML needs to create a variable number of <div> tags—that can be hidden or displayed (via Javascript) when a user clicks on an object (small gif). Does...

Hi all, I've had SmoothWall up and running for a week now and things are going well. eMule tells me I need to open some ports on a firewall (if I have one) to work properly. Can someone give me some pointers on how to open a port. Do I even need to do this? Is it risky? According to eMule...
