    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

    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...
