    Winamp 5 released.

    I've been meaning to update that thread. As the story goes, I have eradicated Winamp from my life. Foobar2000 has completely taken over all my Windows based audio needs. I'm currently using the "special" edition of v0.7.5. Hmm, might as well go update the Toolbox section with it too. CK

    Reviews of Mitsubishi's WL-82913

    Just to note, HDTV also has the extra stuff: HDTV - 1125 scan lines, 1080 active - ? , 720 active SDTV - ? , 480 active NTSC - 525 scan lines, 480 active I would assume that the ? is just equal to 45 + active scan lines, but no gaurentees. CK

    Wow, a lot to reply to / comment on, but here goes: I note that the back of my CC statement quips that: Like I said, I never had a problem before paying online like I always do on the due date. I completely agree. The fact of the matter is, the CC starts accumulating interest on your payment...

    Yes, check the links. The possible exception might be the TMPG DVD authoring, as I've never authored a "home made movies" DVD. TMPG does, however, have a freeware MPG encoding. I would think that there would be other freeware (and possibly opensource) programs available specifically for DVD...

    Mac + CD burner: help needed

    Yep, just like it says in my earlier link. Unfortunately, I was going through things in too much haste yesterday and misinterpreted what I read. For starters, I didn't clue into the goal behind the title, "How do I make my CD-ROM work on the Mac, WinNT, and UNIX". Second, I think I must of...

    Mac + CD burner: help needed

    Thanks EdwardK. I actually came across the same info last night on my own. What I discovered was that in order to burn discs with older versions of iTunes (and this may still be the case with v4.1, but I kind of suspect things are different now with OS X) you have to have the "Authoring...

    Merc, I think your probably right about the way CD drives are reported. I'm thinking that his version of iTunes has crippled 3rd party burner suport. I'm going to try to get Toast for him and see how that goes. Question: if I d/l Toast and burn it to disk for him, how should I format the...

    Mac + CD burner: help needed

    He has iTunes installed. When you click on the "burn CD" icon, it generates an error that reports something to the effect that there is missing hardware or software. Looking at the Apple system info (whatever Mac's Device Manager counterpart is called) says LiteOn CD-rom, reports correct...
