    Home PC DVD Video Production - what software?

    Are you looking for editing or authoring software? What are doing with it? If you are just editing simple DV movies, Win MovieMaker 2 included with SP2 free may be your ticket. I've found it to be stable and easy-to-use, not to mention the price is right. After creating the movie in MovieMaker...

    another norton ghost question.

    Ron said: "Actually, if I understand this all correctly, all I would need to do is install two things after formatting a hard drive crash.... 1. Windows XP 2. Norton Ghost Then, using GHOST, I simply RECOVER the image I saved and my XP will be loaded exactly as it was before with...

    another norton ghost question.

    Ron: I guess I was hoping the Ghost 2003 tutorial would closely mirror the Ghost 9 interface. Apparently not! That being said, your comment: "Otherwise, in case of a system crash, I'll just format, install XP and GHOST and then RESTORE the image." seems to ignore the largest benefit of...

    another norton ghost question.

    Ghost 2003 Flash tutorial for making boot disks is here . Ron, make sure you check the "USB Support" option when creating the boot disk. Just because Windows works and plays well with your external hard drive doesn't mean Ghost will. After you make the disk, try to start your computer with...

    How does this Dell stack-up against an entry-mid level HTPC?

    I'm an XP Pro man myself, but... based on the current generation of posts/comments I've read, Windows MCE seems to be a legitimate player with real(ized) benefits for the HTPC user. A comparison of the two OS's (if you can really call it that) might be in order. MCE appears to be mentioned more...

    another norton ghost question.

    Ronald: you said: If my computer goes haywire, I can simply format the computer, install Windows XP and then GHOST. At that point all I need to do is hit RESTORE to return my hard drive to its former state? Is that correct? If not, what should I be doing? I'm a Ghost 2003 user. I...

    Deadwood -Ep5 "Trial of Jack McCall"

    I LOVED the slur that Bullock directed at McCall. It sounded like, "Jupe-eyed" f**ker. I've never heard that one. And...I can't find anything about it on the 'Net. How is it spelled? I may need to employ it some day! :D

    First Home DIY Subwoofer - questions

    I’ve got some questions for the pro amp crowd: 1.Do you guys have to use any kind of a rumble filter for your vented enclosures? If so, how are you doing it? 2.If I have a 20Hz vented tune, how important is rumble filter in HT applications? Rock music applications? 3.Are any of you having...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Assuming you ran the model with the DVC, how do the results look to you. Granted, I am a beginner, but the results looked pretty impressive to me. Are those results what experienced builders call poor, average or good?

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Tim: While I'm certainly not wedded to it, but I have a 12" Dayton DVC in-hand. Since I didn't have the Shiva specs handy, I couldn't compare the Dayton vs. Shiva. Does the Shiva model better by a significant margin?

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    I tried to use WinISD last night. I am very much a rookie at this. The modeling I did showed the ported 12" Dayton DVC doing significantly better at the low end than the sealed 15" Dayton DVC. However, I may be doing something wrong. The drivers are listed in the program. I used an enclsure of...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Mike{O}, porting out the side has its possibilities. Assuming I could cut a nice hole, I could use plain old PVC cement to cement in the port. Talk about easy! Hmmm... Dennis, the sealed 15" also has something going for it. Having not done a lot of reading on sealed enclosures, I'm not sure...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Tim: This is just the type of response I need! I will experiment with my current sub at the proposed location of the planned sonosub to see if I run into the same frequency/tuning problem you did. Thanks for the frank response! As for the rattling coasters, maybe a marble tabletop with...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Very nice woodwork, Timn8ter! I've seen several of the end table type designs on the 'Net. None discuss practicality of the design. I also see your comment, Just don't leave glasses on it during a movie. That leads me to my next question, how PRACTICAL is the table? Can you set a drink on...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Assuming you are referring to the top/bottom plates, I was intending to use 2 x 3/4" standard MDF.

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    I still havn't abandoned the bottom ported idea just yet. 12" + 4" = 16". I have 17.5". Or, I suppose I could go with two or three 3" ports, assuming it models correctly.

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    You know, I hadn't even thought of a sealed enclosure because every other sonosub I looked at was ported. When I get home, I'll have to model a sealed enclosure with the Tempest or Dayton DVC 15".

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Both driver and port would be in the bottom plate. Recall The bottom inside diameter of the tube is 17.5 inches, the top inside diameter is 16 inches. Is 17.5 inches insufficient for both a 12" driver AND a 4" port, or do I need more space between the two?

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    Could I not use 4 inch port(s)? Granted, they may not be straight, but would still meet length specs. I was thinking of using a pair of 45 degree turns to shape them so they fit the interior of the tube better. Seems as though I've read a general rule that ports need to be 3 inches off an...

    Large 16" PVC for Sonosub???

    I've got this piece of 16” PVC pipe that I procured with the intentions of building a sonosub. Here are the photos: Photos are here. This piece is currently 46” tall and weighs +/- 150 lbs. As you can see, it has a “bell coupling” on the bottom that is 17.5” in diameter. Ideally, I was...
