    Dang, I meant to try and make that clear, but I didn't - sorry. This DVD is our product. We own it :-)

    DVD clip to Quicktime (for own DVD)>

    Hello, We have a DVD that we want to take a 30 second an 60 second clip from and put it on our website. Does anyone know the proper software to do this? I think I might just plug my DVD player into my computer and record the parts I need, but then how do I get it in a playable format to...

    Anyone going to see Rush this summer?

    Did anyone see the Cincy show last night? Holy crap, was that an awesome show. I saw them in Chi-town a couple weeks ago, but this, I felt, was much better sounding and I could not believe how relaxed they were. We got 6th row on Alex's side and that was really nice. My cousin and I are going...

    Anyone going to see Rush this summer?

    Mike Broadman, You asked if anyone saw them for the last tour in Chicago. I was at that show and it is kind of funny because my dad kept bugging me all the previous tours about going so I took him to this show. When the DS CD came out I bought it for him. He was pretty excited. He was 67 at...

    To those who frequent Cedar Point-recommendations?

    Dumb question - does fast pass cost anything? Here at Great America you can buy a Fast Lane for $10 for 4 rides, but you can go whenever.

    Dish HD6000 - Sounds like it's on when it's off?

    I just thought there was something I could do with the HD6000. My PVR501 didn't seem to give off as much noise. Greg, dumb question. Does the 721 do HD? I didn't think it did, but I have not looked that hard yet.

    Dish HD6000 - Sounds like it's on when it's off?

    Hi, I have just recently moved my HD6000 to the bedroom for some testing and noticed that when it turns off, it goes quiet and then sounds like it starts up again. The light does not come on and there is no signal so it is turned off. It is just kind of annoying really. Does anyone know...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    To keep you up to date, as Jeff requested, I ended up getting 3 B&K VM1's for L/R/C and 2 LM1's for rears. I do not have a sub yet, but am working on trying to find some room. I could not find a local place to try the Missions and the VM1's seemed like they would look nice with the setup...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Jeff, Thanks for the nice words, but my persuasion skills really aren't that great. It is my wife's and my 10 year anniversary this year and I had already bought her a nice anniversary band. This was my anniversary gift. She also said she got a headache when she watched tv at the funny...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Oy Oy Headache! All these decisions! Anyway, thank you everyone for all the ideas so far. I have looked through all of these on-line, but have only been able to listen to the JBL S-36II speakers. So now I have, based on looks, wall mounting capability, space restrictions, and budget (which...

    Dish picture breaking up question

    Well, I haven't been able to adjust my dish to try and improve the signal, but my wife and I did some tests. This only appears to happen on local channels. When we watch the same local channel on different receivers, it breaks up at the same time. When we watch different local channels, they...

    Does anyone have the S-36's? How do they sound w/o a subwoofer? What is a good center to go with them? How do they compare with the Phantoms?

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Luke_Y - I thought of them, but don't really want to mess up the walls that much. I am assuming the wall needs to be cut somewhat for these, correct?

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    No offense taken Camp - I was actually thinking this myself after writing some of this stuff. It was actually hard getting approval for the plasma so I didn't want to over do it :) I am also concerned about size and I guess I was just wondering if there were really good smallish speakers for...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    I just looked at the AR Phantoms on-line and they look very nice, but I am not sure about the price. How do the 5.2 series sound w/o a subwoofer? I know I will need to listen to them myself, but I would like opinions too of possible. Thanks for the ideas so far! David
