I have some video of my fishing trip and of my raccoon adventures. I took the video with a borrowed digital camera, then transfered it to DVD. How do I get a clip from the DVD to post? I don't have a DVD player in my computer, so I am assuming this will be difficult. Any advice?
What kinds of interface do you have on your computer? If it is limited, you may need to bring it to me. If you have returned the camera, bring me the DVD and I'll see what I can do.
I bought a new 80 G hard drive and Win Xp, but haven't taken the time to install it. I just remembered that my new machine at work has a DVD player and XP. I should be able to use the Windows Movie Maker shouldn't I? (I see another wasted work day coming) If not, I will take it over the the Major's House. He has an upstairs office that triples as a game room, music studio, and cuckoos nest. I sure he has plenty of techo gadgetry to make it work.
Well there are a lot of unknow variables there what format does the camera save the file in for instance. I never used Windows movie maker myself. I'm not sure it loads by default I think you can download it from Microsoft though. Taking it to the Major would be easy. Me I'd take the lazy way out. :wink:
Yeah, but the CD has a bunch of hot private stuff* on it. I don't mind if the Major sees it, but the thought of him making a bootleg copy for his "personal use" makes me a little queasy. *not really, just trying to be humorous. The hottest thing happening at my house is the seven scented Christmas candles burning in the fireplace. Bugs bought them last year the day after Christmas and CAREFULLY saved them for such a moment as this. We can't burn REAL logs, because, "they are too messy." You should try living with Suzy Sunshine and her germ phobia for a while. There is a reason I call her "Bugs", and it has nothing to do with a rabbit.
I know my camera saves the video files in Quicktime format. Not the best, but I have some pretty decent clips of my 6 year old playing golf. Some funny stuff.
Watch out world. I finally installed a new drive and operating system on my home PC. It screams. I swear. It is an old PII 700 with 384 =/- megs of memory. All I have loaded on it is Spysweeper, a camera program, on a fast 10 MBS cable connection. It boots up in about 10 seconds, and runs like a dream. It's actually fun again. WhooHooo.....
If its 700MHz, it is either a PIII, or celeron, Maybe an AMD K-6 2. But anyway, if your board will handle it, upgrade to 1024MB of RAM. You will see a huge improvement over what you all ready are seeing. PC100 or PC133 RAM should be what you need. I'll check around the house, I used to have a bunch of this RAM, if I find any I can ship it to you. If it will only hold up to 512, then get at least to that point. You will be glad you did. Of course, for 400.00 you can get a new dell with a 17" monitor 64-bit AMD and lots of upgrades.....
Problem is that old memory cost more then the new stuff and you can't hardly get it in larger sizes they stopped making it I'm sure. Better off to keep the hdd and invest just a few hundred more and build a new system. Let the daughter’s boyfriend play on the old one. Of course if you got some laying around then thats a whole different story
Boxes of the stuff. Mostly 256 and 128 chips, I had a couple of 512s but they may have went AWOL in some systems I sould back in the day.
I have a Sony VAIO circa 1998. Do you have a PCI graphics card and some RAM for me? I'd like my daughters to be able to play "Barbie Fashion Show" on their own PC and get off mine. (so I can play "Barbie Fashion Show)
You are right. It is a PIII. I would love to have the memory. It has PC100 now, but I am pretty sure that PC133 will work. Let me now. I will swap you out an autographed picture of Ray Goff for it.
Let me dig into my parts bin. I should have plenty of 128 chips, and I know I have a couple of PCI video cards, I think only 8mb cards though. I have a nice 128mb AGP card, but is a all-in-wonder deal. I will stop by my storage building, at my other house, and see what I can find.
