with that much HD content available, it's obviously it well worth being able to access it. DTV has been slow on the uptake here, partly because of the cost of equipment and partly due to a lack of consumer education. excluding the ABC, the free-to-air bradcasters have been doing a good job of...

very little unfortunately. I'm seriously hoping that ATx-10 will show the Melb GP in HD but as of yet, they have still to decide. the HD content we have is nothing special being most news programmes, some of the more popular TV dramas and tyhe rest an odd assortment. at this stage ABx-2 is...

yes unfortunately MPEG4>MPEG2 is a very slow conversion process. HT P4's are the best (single) CPU for these sort of tasks. even the FX-55 is trumped by a P4/3.4 for most things video.

now that's a DVR :thumbleft: we have very little HD content down here. like 3 hours per day on free to air, none on cable and only a few HD titles in stores. in way it's a good thing as I can't allow myself the cost of all the HD gear I would want to have! :roll:

sorry to drag this duscussion back to signal format but I thought I might be able to contribute. merc and skeet are right when they say s-video and RGsB are component video but techincally any seprated video signal is "component video". typically though non-professionals use the term component...

just wondering (not attacking), how would you know this if you;ve never been to one yourself?

hi all, I have for sale a Kramer FC-19 RGB decoder (Note: this is a NTSC specific model). The unit is branded as a "Comprehensive CVG-19" however Comprehensive's re-branding extends as far silk-screening their label on the front fascia and it is otherwise 100% a Kramer product :thumbleft: I...

heya Pradeep. you're right in that there's not that many DV camcorders auxiliary analogue inputs quite a few accept analogue video in on their their A/V connection. this can be said for Canon, Panny, Sony, JVC and Samsung DV camcorders. since much of the electronics required to convert...

hey there Misterilli (and hello to all of you :)) do you have a DV flavour camcorder? if so, chances are you can capture your VCR's composite signal via the camcorder DV output and the video quality will be as good as almost any consumer level analogue capture hardware device (often better.) if...

thanks for the reply I would appreciate it if you did. a local provider with a local server would be ideal, but it's not realistic. services such as those that Lunarpages offers would cost several hundreds per month. web services are still obscenely expensive down under :( did you find any...

hi all, please excuse this long post; I manage a website and forums that is need of a new host. brief overview the site: - comprises of 53 html web pages - runs off a W2K3 server - has a MSSQL2000 backed phpBB forum with 1100+ members - forum activity over the last month averaged 150-200...

funny you say that. the more I read here, the more it affirms my views and standings on the political spectrum.

short answer: I do - yes I have gone overboard on occasion, yes I have offended people and yes I have been offended by what others have occasionally said. still ... I've only ever considered the heated discussions that I've participated in as debates. if I'm mocked or derided, well then it's...

is using Oracle instead of MSSQL an option? if so, checkout Quest Sofware's SharePlex for Oracle. not cheap, but good.

your both nuts... and thanks to good taste for pulling up Merc before he did some irrerepairable damage to my reputation.

could this be Merc? no, it's not Wayne Knight...

I thought the members here might find this comprehensive and informative document a good reference for CD/DVD's and best practise archiving. US National Institute of Standards and Technology CD and DVD Care and Handling Guide (826KB RAR compressed file) please note: if posting this document...

with dual 2.2GHz Xeons and 768MB RAM, I can completely understand Bill! nice system

I forgot to add sound; Hercules GameTheatreXP 6.1, which is the only thing that didn't change! thank god I've stopped the endless cycle of constant upgrades. although it was fun playing with water-cooled P4'C' at 3.5GHz, PC4000 and 9800Pro-DDRII sometime mid-year '03, I'm getting more enjoyment...

I was thinking earlier today about what spec PC I was running this same time last year and couldn't remember. partly because at the time I was changing hardware on a regular basis and partly because I have a memory like a sieve. now, what was I saying? oh right, PC specs. at best guess, my...

cool! thanks Mark.

I'm looking to purchase a few Chieftec ATX form factor mini redundant PSU's and am hoping anyone here that may have used them can offer their opinion on them. thanks. www.chieftec.com/products/psu/RPSU.htm

it's great to read your back with us ddrueding!

yet it's been 5 months to the day that you started this thread, and afaik, you've only talked about wanting to change and given yourself every excuse not to. you're still looking too far ahead. there are plenty of alternatives but that's not what you should be focusing on. don't try to figure...

YOU. despite you already knowing this and resigning to not doing anything about it, that fact remains it's still up to you. sorry to be harsh, but it's not good enough to talk about wanting change and then talk about that you can't do it. how much does it bother you that you say you want to...

no worries mate! </goes to dig up the welcome bone>

we're a bit tougher down here Buck, so it's not that bad :tounge:

<excuse my on-topic post> my main work PC is soon to be replaced with a Dell OptiPlex SX270 configured with a P4'C' 2.6, 875G chipset, 1GB RAM and 80GB Barracuda (yech). a reasonably capable box which should see me through for 2 years hopefully :) <carry on> PCI-X 533 looks to be good!

whilst it's cold for some, for others (like us in Melb) - current temp (08:30am): 24.3°C/75.7°F today's forecast: 37°C/98.6°F with possible showers

can you please explain to me why it WILL lead to really crappy multichannel setups, keeping in mind the average PC Joe, using it in his average PC enviroment with his typical consumer level multichannel PC speakers?

or at least not the good ones :mrgrn:

hehe that's funny. clicking-in to read your thread I thought I might be seeing Bill Gates' 2004 schedule...

happy birthday SF and all SF'ians!

I'm a fan of Lite-On drives so all in all it looks to be just what I'm after. thanks very much CityK

hi, I'm after a DVD/CDRW combo drive to replace my CD-RW drive. the main things I want to acheive is the ability to rip DVD at speeds faster than my Pioneer 106D. even with hacked firmware, it still only does 6-8x DVD rip for pressed DVD5 discs only. non-pressed DVD5 and DVD9 discs can only be...

I'm curious as to why they only wrote 100MB on each layer... can anyone read Japanese? here's the original article: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20040109/ces06.htm

don't bother CityK, trying is the first step towards failure...

perhaps he meant to say "I have had servers that run 0 RAID arrays". at least it would explain not having any RAID failures :roll:

time, I purchased a Maxpower Whisper Series 400W from PC Case Gear a while ago. I paid $55 for it with case a purchase, however they are now listed at $85 by themselves. my lazy arse has yet to get around to using it but it looks and feels solid enough (caveat: for the money). a few reports I...

I'm very happy with mine (ZM400A-APF). voltages are always stable and apart from the 12V line, all voltages are dead on or out by only 1-2% no matter what the the load. the 12V line sits consistently at 11.89V, however pretty much all reviews I've read on this PSU have it doing the same and I or...

yeah I saw :( I sent Eugene, Davin and honold a PM as soon as I discovered it. if they choose to leave him there then it's a disspoaintement and I won't be going back (again)...

well I guess that's one way to stop a troll from posting :roll: :P

btw, storagereview.com is currently unreachable from here. is anybody else able to see it?

I checked this as well but didn't think it was appropriate to post such details. I'm quite positive it is him. Trollaxor has on quite a few occasions trolled a discusion about Kansas City and has openly made references to him living there.

there's certainly a plausible link between the two jtr1962. TA has a few URL's on his page (like X-box hacking) that Trollaxor has spent some time trolling for. by itself it might only be a co-incidence however writings by TA on his page share similarities to Trollaxor's, particularly the...

yes, I've PM'd both Eugene and Davin. I was going to reverse-troll Gigger Hertz and although I'm a little ashamed to admit it, I did think about PM'ing everyone in the thread see if they would reverse-troll with me. gladly though, but I couldn't quite bring myself to stoop that low. as well, it...
