Are you serious?! Lol.
Anyway, I discovered I had PowerDVD Creator on my computer, and although it is missing a lot of the effects, it has a lot of other neat options, so I think it'll work.
Uhmmmm.... *looks through past posts* ...you.
The way I see it, I really don't understand why anyone would want to have a 100 lb 25" CRT display when they could have a 10 lb LCD that doesn't need a 5 foot deep desk to supply room for the monitor AND a keyboard. Unless you are a photoshopping freak, sticking with a CRT at this point is, in my opinion, rather silly.
When you stated that you would never recommend an LCD panel to someone who wanted to watch HD movies on, that was the point at which I decided to stop listening to your logic. That's ridiculous. In fact, I highly doubt that if your friend asked you for a recommendation as to a good screen to buy for his computer so that he could watch movies at his desk often, you'd suggest a CRT.. and if you did - well - like I said - that's ridiculous.

My friend went to college in Ireland. All I hear from him is how much beer and alcohol there is, lol.
My computer shouldn't have any problem with it. WMP plays the file just fine. It's just WMM that seems to to have the issue. I've got plenty of free RAM and processing power, and I've worked with large files in WMM before...
I'm really not sure what causes it, but whatever it is, it's isolated to WMM. I had the same issue last time I made a movie with video from my camera, but it didn't freeze anywhere near as often. Just a few times an hour. This is just constant though.
Split, cross-fade between clips, add a music soundtrack (and eliminate sound in clips), and add some titles... at the very least. Can it do all that?
But I need to edit the video clips. Can you do that in virtualdub?
Simple Free Movie Maker
What program do you guys use that's free that would work to make a simple movie with title pages and fade effects. It really just needs to have the same basic features as Windows Movie Maker. I can't use WMM with the clips I create in FRAPS because for some reason it doesn't like them and freezes every 30 seconds when I try and work with it. Really, REALLY aggravating.
Shotglass, let me ask you this. You are OBSESSED with CRT screens being the best thing ever, but which would you choose to watch an HD movie on. A big CRT, or an HD projector... and why?
HOLY CRAP! That's even better! Lol.
My latest wallpaper (with fade-out stuff on desktop which only shows up on mouse-over.)
For comparison, should you someone decide to argue this point, my 6800GT drops to 30-35 FPS at some points running at 2560x1024. Granted it's a slower card, but it's also running 20% less pixels than yours. And I've only got to 60 FPS at just a few spots. Still more than playable though.
Ok guys. What do you think. I've been putting off installing Vista on my desktop lately. I have XP on my laptop, which I use 99% of the time in college, and the desktop which I use solely to play games like COD2, LFS, etc... AND to watch ripped movies, play music and watch DVDs and TV through an open source program called MediaPortal. I'm considering upgrading it to Vista Enterprise SP1, which is hosted on our school's servers.
Suggestions? If anything I'm doing it cause I'm bored and I just want to see how it works. I DO have 4 Gb of RAM, and I'm not sure whether the version offered is 32 or 64 bit.

Oh, c'mon, people do that all the time in real life. It's just that usually they end up hitting the other car and causing a massive accident on the highway. Hell that happened right in front of me but they hit the divider, not a car.
Seriously though, freaking awesome.

Holy crap. I just realized how awesome that would be with a Track IR setup. Someone has got to try that and see how well it works....
Well, kind of. If you run high-resolution skins and texture packs, it won't at all look bad, and you can more than run it at those resolutions without much issue with even a half-decent graphics card.
Your computer does have a PCI-E x16 graphics card slot, so you could spring for an 8800GT, which would be around $200-$250 bucks. However, what you really need is a faster processor and faster memory (and more of it.) TBH, I'd look into a new computer, or new parts - expecially considering that this is driving a high-def display, you want to be able to game in high-def, or at least watch HD movies (which can be very processor intensive.)
However, if you just get an 8800GT and maybe a 2Gb DDR2-800 memory pack, you should be able to run LFS at high-resolutions without issue, and you can always carry that stuff over into a new system later on.

I was thinking, maybe his VGA cable is loose, so that only the blue is coming through. Although I can't imagine he wouldn't have noticed that everything else was blue and not just LFS.
All I can say,
Is either way,
Check the VGA!!!

A vanilla-glazed doughnut... mmmmmm.
Uhhhh, the only odd things my un-trained eye sees are the white text on the wheel and the driver's suit, but I'm assuming those are addons...
...am I missing something blatantly obvious?

But why do you need such a high resolution. Isn't that overkill? I know you can get high resolutions with CRT displays but that just seems to be a bit more than necessary - even if you are a high-res freak.
Yeah, I want to know what you mean too. At first I thought you had two 19" monitors, but that still doesn't explain the vertical 1536 resolution you are running at. Explanation?!?!
Amazing wheel. You will not be disappointed. Reverse never worked on mine to begin with, but eh... I was too excited to send it back and live without it for another few weeks. Only issue I have currently is the leather shifter wrap getting in the way when I try and shift into 5th gear sometimes.
Uhhhh... yes he did. He SAID so:
Duh!
Valid point. All I'm saying is that the kind of people who take their cars to track days are the kind of people who are likely to do things like install an aftermarket air intake and upgraded exhaust... things like that. So odds are some of the cars would be a tiny bit louder than stock.
