someone should throw a brick at him at some point.

 

[pointless]

also, why the fuck does it take so long to convert an mp4 to an mp4? that makes no goddamned sense to me.

 

[pointless]

that works too.

You are talking to yourself.

Busybody is contagious.

 

[pointless]

i'm not talking to anyone. in fact, i'm not talking at all. that would be a little weird.

 

[pointless]

fuck you, schone.

What?

i'd rather throw a brick at marcello.
actually i'd rather play against him, and let him *try* to come at me with his bullshit. then he'd find out what a real foul feels like.

What?

i meant exactly what i said. i was shrinking it for storage and because my cheapass computer hates anything better than 720.

It now makes sense to me.

Got anything for a freeware mkv to avi converter?

avi? i don't think so. i've been using pazera converter suite. specifically the zune converter which i'm sure sounds absolutely useless, but it worked. sadly, i don't know if i really trust it and none of the included converters directly convert mkv to avi. you could, i guess, convert it to mp4 or mov or whatever and then convert it to avi, but that would be a pain in the ass.

i've been going for cheap and dirty, but still watchable. they've all come out looking like decent, standard definition videos. a couple of them looked a little choppy in parts when i skipped, but i had a lot of shit running when i was watching them on kmplayer. even if the choppy bits are still there when i play again later it won't bug me too much. at least they're in sync and i can skip ahead without any annoying freezing. that is awesome.

linkage if you wanna give it a shot.

Buy a bigger HD, dumbass.

i have half a terabyte inside the tower and a rigged up external 160 gb back up hard drive i pulled out of my old computer when the motherboard committed suicide. i also have a lot of music, a lot of porn, several actual movies/tv shows and a buggy dvd burner.

and again, my computer can't handle 1080. it gets all draggy and the sound goes out of sync. i could probably fix that, but i'm poor, motherfucker.

My dvd burner bought the farm a couple of weeks ago, haven't got round to replacing it yet. 1.5 tera in the case though, so I'm not exactly hurting for space. Memory is dirt cheap these days.

Better question: I need to burn movies onto a DVD so it can be played in a DVD player. Any suggestions?

from what i've read about my computer it's the video card that's the real issue. my old computer had half the memory and it was ddr2 and it could play hd alright considering its age. this one, however, plays hd files like my ten year old pos computer. oddly, it plays sims 2 just fine even with things running in the background while the old not-pos computer dragged playing that game even when i shut every possible background program off. it's kinda stupid, but whatever.

i haven't used it in forever, but i remember it working great. the only drawback i recall beyond it requiring 12gb of free space to burn was that it couldn't directly burn to dl discs. you had to use it create an iso file and then burn that using imgburn or whatever. beyond that you could stuff a dvd full of videos if you wanted to and they looked better than the shit i used to get when i used that shit stain roxio.

They recommend converting to mpeg and then burn to dvd using another program.

I can't say for sure, I stopped using dvds about 18 months ago.

I had to go hunting way in the back of a closet to even find blank DVDs. Unfortunately, the situation dictates their use.

i forgot to say that i tried that fucking program out last night and i thought it was kicking ass just speeding through the encoding until it "finished" and it went back to zero and nothing else happened. kinda pissed me off.
