My COMPOSER FRIEND, transferred a short audio tape for me.  GMAIL allows me to attach the file but it won't send because it's an executable file (AmazonMP3 downloader.exe.)  Can anyone tell me how to save this file into ANOTHER extension so I can send it out?  Thanks a bunch.
Why don't you just send them the link to the page with the download on? Then they can download it themselves.

I'm using labtech for our MSP work. (we switched from packettrap).  We're currently running about 25 sites with approx. 30-100 computers PER site.

There are a lot of features that we really don't use and THINK it's overkill and am looking for some suggestions on what you guys use for your MSP work?

We really only need windows patching deployment, traffic analysis, remote access via rdp or vpn or whatever, file transfer CAPABILITIES and some very basic scripting.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Dear all

Why is the latency so high?
The way a satellite stays in orbit, without using any type of engine or rocket to correct its orbit, is to gain a balance between gravity and centrifugal force. The closer to earth, the greater the gravity pulling the bird toward earth. The faster it moves, the greater the force pulling it away from the earth. It turns out that there is a spot, about 22,300 miles above the equator, where the speed an object must travel to gain equilibrium against gravity is exactly the same as the speed the earth is turning. By placing a satellite in this spot, its relative position above the earth stays constant. Satellites used for broadband internet and TV must stay in one place in the sky so that you can point your dish in one spot and get the signal. The only other alternative would be to have a constellation of satellites in a lower orbit, that would rise and fall like the sun and stars. There would need to be enough of these flying that there was always one overhead, which requires a lot of satellites, a lot of infrastructure ,and therefore a lot of money.

In the case of a two-way satellite system, when you request something by clicking on a link, or any other way, that message travels 44,600 miles just to get to the NOC. The stuff coming back to you must travel the reverse route, so the round trip is 89,200 miles. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second in a VACUUM,slower through the atmosphere. But even if you assumed 186,000 mps then the total time taken in space travel is about 480ms. Given the atmosphere problem, it is actually more like 500ms. Add to that the terrestrial internet latency, which should be about 100ms. Also you can add delays through transponders, gateways, proxies, etc.
Software and protocols can reduce the effect of latency for certain applications, but they can't change the physics...the latency remains. For instance, by increasing the number of simultaneous TCP connections, WEB pages can load faster after they get started, but they will always take the same amount of time to get started. Better yet, by replacing the protocol between the NOC and the user from TCP/IP - which doesn't handle high latency well at all - to another protocol designed for long fat pipes, even more could be done to reduce the effects of high latency. No doubt, that is the future of these systems. But still, there will be a delay of somewhere around 625+ms between any interactive activities. The latency of one-way systems is obviously less, with the space travel being cut in half.

I need to find out if there is a tracking software that  I can get to track where my wife goes during the day on the internet. I believe she has email accounts and certain PEOPLE she emails and trades pictures with.
Is there anything that I can get to ASSIST me.
WINDOWS 7 is the OS.

Thank you in advance
Have you checked the browser history?

Personally, i don't think anybody will recommend 'tracking' software, firstly, there are probably legal ISSUES, and secondly, this is a domestic issue, not a computer problem! Sorry

the RECOVERY Drive for Vista is actually still intact as a separate partition I do not have recovery disks.

I'd be very careful not to wipe out that recovery partition.   You should be able to restore the system to its original configuration by hitting F11 during startup, which should start the recovery partition...

This is sooooo frustrating! I installed some supposedly helpful gadget to the Mozilla Firefox browser called "Freecorder" and then my compurter is going absurdly slow for the past two weeks. I think it's due to this Freecorder. I tried uninstalling it by selecting "uninstall" from the program's folder on the start menu but IT'S STILL THERE when I OPEN my browser. I tried uninstalling it by "add/remove programs" but it won't go away. I tried selecting the applications menu on Mozilla and removing it but it just won't go away. Please help with this - thanks!Download and run REVO Uninstaller
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.htmlI did that before I even posted... the Freecorder did not even show up in that program's list of "programs installed on this computer" and yet it REMAINS annoyingly on Mozilla's toolbar anyhow like some KIND of immortal spyware. It refuses all efforts to delete it >:/Have you seen this?: http://www.applian.com/faq-pro/?action=article&cat_id=011&id=80&lang=

Hi All,
I am looking for a free FTP software program. It has to handle SFTP and be able to be scripted. I was using WinSCP, which I really liked. I was told that I can't use it to work on a new server so I am looking for something close to winscp.

Thanks
Smart FTP...Looks good Patio....except not free....

I like it though....

I have a HP PC with WinXP and HP LJ 3050 All-In-One.

I have searched but can not find out exactly what this software does although it appears that it doesn't do much and I don''t need or use it. It takes up alot of space and I wouod like to unistall it if I can.

What do you SAY? Ok to get rid of it?Well, surely the software is needed for full functionality of your HP LJ 3050 All-In-One.  If you remove it, you won't have full functionality, perhaps EVEN no functionality, from your HP LJ 3050 All-In-One.  I suggest you look elsewhere in your system to resolve hard drive space issues.  If you need help with that, I suggest you start another topic in the forum.THANKS Soybean. I don't think this has ANYTHING to do with my All-In-One. No one answered here or over in the HP forums so I deleted it and All-In-One works fine, at least all of the functions I use work fine. I did find that HP EXTENDED Capabilities 6.1 is nothing but a data gathering tool for HP marketing development. Don't know if that is the same for 4.7.

HP Extended Capabilities 6.1

Well, in your original post, you did not say the name of the software, so I could only assume it was the software and drivers that provide full use of printer features via your computer. 

I am running win 7.

A few months ago, I noticed that I couldn't watch my shows ONLINE(i.e. abc.com,cbs.com) but other sites like hulu work. ALSO on Facebook, I play a COUPLE of their app games. I can do certain things there,but other things I cant.

I have ran a virus check,spyware,malware etc scan-all clean. I have uninstalled adobe flash, shockwave, google chrome(browser that I USE) and re installed them. I use revo uninstaller to uninstall everything so its  more thorough. Yet still nothing WORKS! Any ideas?

I haven't downloaded stuff, and my kids swear they havent downloaded anything on this laptop either!

The only thing I can come up with is adobe flash. & I do have the updated version. And I believe google Chrome has built in flash too

On my laptop, I recently got a virus. Literally NOTHING would work properly, but somehow I fixed it using a Malware Bytes and RKILL program. When I got it back up and running, a bubble kept popping up saying I had low disk space. I ran all kinds of Disk Cleanups, removed unused programs, and so on to create space. I was so focused on getting my laptop fixed and creating space that I uninstalled a ton of things, not really caring what they were. I must have uninstalled something important, because Internet Explorer 8 doesn't load certain pages anymore. I don't know if it's a Flash Player problem or what, because Facebook is just a blank page besides the blue NAVIGATION bar, Youtube ads are not showing up as they usually should, and virtual games do not work. I figured this was a shockwave problem since ads and games require Adobe Shockwave, but when I go to install that, I click the "Agree & Download" button and it just REFRESHES the page. I tried an alternative download, which only BROUGHT a pop up that usually says "Run / Save / Cancel", the download pop up, but this time it had a "Find" button instead of "Run". So now I cannot download shockwave or flash player, and on Facebook I tried clearing the cache/cookies/browsing history, and adding an 's' to 'http' in the address bar with no luck. Help??

I installed a new hard drive and somehow I ended up with a google toolbar.  It doesn' t show up in programs or under control PANEL to uninstall it there.  When I click on the toolbar the NORMAL uninstall or help options aren't there.  This is driving me NUTS!  I don't want it!  Also, could this cause me security problems from where ever this came from?  I've scanned with everything I've got and all seems well, Just was the blasted toolbar gone.Thanks for your answers but doesn't help.  As I SAID, it doesn't show up under the control panel so I can't delete it the regular way.  I go under control panel, uninstall programs and it doesn't show up under the LIST.  Also, if I click on the google toolbar there is no option for help, or a wrench.  None of the normal things work.

I have WINDOWS 7 64 bit system that used to start up fast , now something has happened and it takes LIKE forever for the startup to load,
I have checked for spyware and viruses and what I have found I removed but it still starts up slow does anyone have any hints as to why I am having this PROBLEM, ps I have disabled a lot of programs that start up, and really do not know what else to do, the startup processes I checked I don't understand what they are and am afraid to disable the ones I don't know so any help would be apriciated
thanksOpen msconfig and on the General tab choose "selective startup" (uncheck all three ITEMS) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have identified the offending process. This is clearly a time consuming process, but it is the best way to determine if some process loading with the system is the cause of your problem.I will try that and let you know what happens, sounds like a good idea, I do have one more question, would having temporary files in the browser cause this too?  I have ie 9 and I checked it out with pc pitstop and it said I had over 11 mb  of temporary files, I deleted them but they keep showing up
so this is what I thought might be causing the problem also. noI want to thank you for your help, I guess I had windows firewall enabled that was dragging me down and some roxio processes , since I already had a norton firewall I didn't need the windows firewall enabled so again thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I just had to put a new motherboard in my PC and when I got it running again and ran an office 2007 product, I got a MESSAGE saying that my hardware had changed and I had to re-register my copy of office. It popped up a screen that had a BUNCH of numbers on it so I selected go online.  WELL I couldn't go online(and never have been able to).  So I dialed the number and got a computer voice that ASKED for my number. I gave it, and was told the account did not exist.  I have not found a WAY to tell someone at microsoft about this.  I have SP3 installed and they make a deal about dropping support for XP SP2 but still will not support mine.  It shouldn't matter anyhow.  I have $330 worth of their software installed and it is nonfunctional and they refuse to do anything about it.  Technically, there has never been any other office product installed on my PC, and I do not have the Activation Assistant in Add/Remove Programs.

Thanks for any help I might get.Microsoft at 1-866-PCSAFETY (1-866-727-2338)

hey i deleted my temp files and did disk cleanup (deleted STUFF in recycle BIN XD) now i cant get it back so i decided to also shut down computer because of updates and when i log back in i cant open internet browsers and stuff without running administrator and some of them don't even work, any help would be great ,thank you (i use a home m ade pc with windows 7 64 bit)If you're talking about temporary internet files, deleting them should not cause a problem.  And, cleaning out the Recycle Bin should not cause a problem unless you had something there that needed to be restored. 

Shutting down during Windows updates, on the other hand, is a problem.  Why do you think Windows displays a message on screen telling you not to shutdown while it's installing updates?  I'm not sure what to tell about that issue.  Standby for comments from other members.

Dear Users
I want to ask that what is the best voice recognition SOFTWARE so that i can speak on it and it can type on MS Word i have found one
Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium English
is this softwares is ok or are there any ohers which are better then this
ThankXHello, this is dictation using Dragon naturally speaking version 10. Ihave been using earlier versions of this product are a number of years and use it whenever I need to dictate a long letter or discourse. The accuracy is reasonable, sometimes more acrid than my typing, so I used it because of the need to communicate ideas and use expressions that I cannot readily spill. Sometimes it makes a mistake. For example, in the last sentence I ENDED it with the word spell, but for some reason the dragon fought I said spill. I could have readily made a correction, but I went ahead and just left it there so you can understand some of the difficulties you encounter with this kind of a product.
If you have never used speech recognition before, I would suggest you find somebody with Windows 7 on their computer and try the speech rec ISSUE that is built into the Microsoft product. It is fairly close to the Dragon NaturallySpeaking product. Give it a try and see how you like it before you invest money in the dragon product. My the WAY, in some cases you can find the discounts on the standard version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. But if you are a doctor or lawyer or an engineer he would pay to get the extra vocabularies available for professional use. I hope this gives you an idea of how voice-recognition works. I was able to dictate this in a fraction of the time that would've taken me to type it. Actually, IBM's Watson is the best voice recognition system on the planet.  It was built by DOZENS of people over five years to compete on Jeopardy.

BTW, you will need space for 10 racks of servers.  Short of that, you will just need to put up with some of the problems Geek mentioned.

Do the complete restore...
Then create the new folder you want and copy all files to it...
Then do your selective pruning process depending on what you want to keep...
Then backup the folder when done as is to DVD or CD...
Then you can safely remove bothe the original and backup folders if needed...

I noticed a program in the Contro panel/PROGRAMS listed with a Java logo called AV Books, (no publisher listed) at 51 GB. Anybody know what it is?Have you downloaded a program (or an entire book) for digital books\ebooks? 

While in the Control Panel\Add-Remove Programs list, did you click on the entry for more information?  Need more details.  

You could do a GOOGLE search for "Java AV Books" and probably find more information than you ever wanted.  ROSE,
That's what puzzling. I went online and basically got zip.I tried Java, Sun microsytems, Wikipedia etc. I recently got an e-reader but have only downloaded a couple of books. Reader software wouldn't take up 51GB, would it? I'm showing roughly half of 250 GB HD used. So this would be more than a third of used drive space.Clicking on it just gets Uninstall/ Change program. No info. I have cousins in OK, by the way, formerly Tulsans.
steb (canada)It's an Audio Visual Book Program of some sort. Note the Java icon is probably used simply because it is written in Java and they didn't bother to change it.

Although It's ODD how it takes up so much space. Personally I'd go spelunking to find the Program Files folder that the software is installed in and see what is taking up all that space.  (well, actually, that's not true, I'd probably uninstall it, but it could very well be something you use without knowing it)

Also; sometimes the size LISTING there can get "broken"; I've had corrupted entries state that things like Office were using over 3 Petabytes (which is of course impossible).

I with who and about what does my daughter CHAT with. I tryed many keyloggers, but my anti-virus always found them as malware.
Please help me.I have one that I programmed myself, but I don't know if this is under forum rules. I don't WANT to get banned and how can you proove that your not LYING in order for malicious purposes.We won't help with this type of question, sorry. I'm locking the THREAD.

First of all, I want to say thank you to all you wonderful people in these forums that dedicate your talents and time to helping those of us that are less computer SAVVY! I am eternally grateful!

My situation: I had the nasty System Tools malware which I have been working with SuperDave to resolve. However we hit a speed bump with the process because the final scans all require Java.

Well my Java was outdated and possibly infected. It didnt remove all the way so I (under Dave's instructions) used the REVO tool to remove the associated files and was ABLE to successfully download the NEWEST version. (I had to use the offline exe because the online one kept telling me that my internet options weren't right?)

Here's the kicker...When I test my version it says there is an error again . I have confirmed Java is enabled in the settings and that java is enabled in the java control panel and that I cleared the cache as instructed on the Java site to correct the error. I even uninstalled and reinstalled but got the same thing.

I think SuperDave is stumped also(he hasn't yet replied to my last post) and that's why I am asking here. I apologize if I'm out of line for asking about this in another forum but since this is a software issue and not a malware issue I thought I would give Dave a break.

Thanx in advance for your assistance!

Hi guys! I have a 5.1 System and I cannot support songs with it. I used Realtek HIGH Def for that before but now my computer got reinstalled. The problem is.. I cannot start the program. I installed Realtek High Def from here - http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false , than restarted my computer but still nothing. I dont know what to do.. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Sorry for my bad english.When you do a re-install you must make sure you do all the drivers for all hardware including the motherboard chip set. Any driver that is not right may possibly interfere with the sound system.
You need to be sure about the sound card. Do you know the make and model of the sound card?In system information - components I see 2 devices.

the Only folder visibly affected

Visibly, maybe, but not necessarily the only folder affected.

I just dont want them in other peoples hands.

Guess who just learned that threads arent all on one page. lol didnt see your post for almost 12 hours.

I have just got to ask. What kind of torrents are you downloading that you don't want in other people's hands? Or do you mean to say that you don't want any one else to find these on your comp.

the torrent never went to the location i wanted it to go. I deleted it before it got past 6% completion.

Incomplete torrent downloads are stored in a separate folder from completed ones.

Why don't you try Piriform Recuva, it's a free file recovery tool.

Alright, but its no longer stored. I deleted it along with everything related to it. So even if it was a virus infested torrent, why would it attack my harddrive where i told it to go, but it never went? I mean, my computer is clean, but the files are still missing!

I am wondering if you got in a panic and deleted them by mistake. Have you looked in your Recycle Bin?

I have VLC Player 1.1.2  can it SYNC to my iPod Nano?

I KNOW how to do it with MEDIA Monky.

I have been using EXCEL 2000 for years but a copying problem has now cropped up. I copy and paste a set of cells containing comments. It appears to work alright but the mouse symbol turns into a wineglass and I cannot do anything. Sometimes it changes to a cross and I can proceed. A message appears on the left hand bottom of the screen to the effect that I am PASTING comments. It SAYS press ESC to abort. But that does not work. I have to reboot with the loss of my most recent editing to be able to proceed.did you make any changes (hardware or software) to your computer around the time this started happening?  Does this happen with all Excel files?  If you open a NEW Excel file, enter data in a cell and add a comment to that cell, can you copy and paste it to another cell?

You MIGHT try disabling your anti-virus software and see whether that makes any difference.I have not made any changes to the software or hardware. I opened a new Excel file and typed in numbers to a group of cells. I then tried to copy them and I got as far as the dotted lines around the cells and the wineglass symbol. I now cannot get back to either of the workbooks.I believe I have solved the problem. There was an uncorrected circular reference. I have fixed that and the copying now works. That was silly of me. Thank you soybean for your suggestion.

Was sent some word files that are read only and i want to spellcheck them but can't?

How do i enable myself to spell check these documents? I'm using word 2003CantIf the files themselves are read-only, you can do a Save As to a new file (or remove the read-only attribute); if the document is protected, I don't know if you can.

Obviously, you are not the creator of the documents and the creator may have had a reason for making them read-only.  So, why do you want to spellcheck them?

An excellent point....why ? ?

I had to reinstall windows 7 on my dell computer.  When I received the computer, Realtec was installed.  Not knowing what to CALL this, but it had a popup window where I could change the invironment, making the sound like it was in a living room, an auditorium, etc.  There was also a large list of sounds to choose from,  jazz, rock, bass, etc.  When I REINSTALLED, using the reinstall DISK that came with the computer, I no longer have this environment.  Any idea how I can get that back?  Unfortunately my dell support expired LAST month.

Thanks,Did you do a clean install of Windows? If so, you should have a driver disk that came with the SYSTEM and you have to reinstall all drivers (install the chipset driver first).

Trying to PRINT a .pdf document Foxit produces the message "The security permission in this document prohibits printing"  Is this to protect copyright or is there a workaround?  The file was downloaded from Internet and displays WITHOUT problems.

I've been having some problems lately shutting down my external drives safely. Shutting down PC, to safely REMOVE devices GETS to be a pain. I have the drives set in (Device Manager) for Quick Removal ,where I'm told that I can remove the device/s without the Safe Removal Icon. But is this safe?. I also read somewhere that shutting down explorer.exe. is a cure?  Anyway, I'm presently trying an app.(USB Safely Remove) which I hope is, (at least it tells me that it is, and appears to be,) shutting the devices down safely. I'm in the trial period but after that, $$. It's not that expensive but I'm wondering what others are doing in this situation ?.
Thanks, overthehillSearching the MS KB is a bore.

So I found this neat video about Quick Removal in Windows.

The Quack Removal concept is helpful in other areas of life.

Wait, there is more. Goto http://support.microsoft.com/
and search for Quick Removal
Yes, there are reported problems with Quick Removal. No simple answer.

The only time it is unsafe to remove a USB drive is if there is unwritten data still being cached (write-caching) or if it is in the process of being written too.

Problem is, that's more theoretical then in practice. USB is supposed to be a hot-pluggable protocol- the drives should be able to be added and removed as easily and safely as floppy disks (you don't have to "safely remove" a floppy disk).

The way most modern OS's handle USB mass storage is terrible, IMO; Most of them call them "removable drives" and yet institute write-caching of those drives as if they were fixed disks that couldn't be removed, not disks that could be removed at a moments notice. The idea is to "increase performance" of those drives, but it's pointless to write data  faster if that data isn't safe. What makes it worse is that the cache policy is terrible as well, in that no matter how long you wait idle, the cache is never emptied- this can be tested since you can write files to a removable drive (with write-caching enabled) and wait several hours before removing it, and the data will still be corrupted. (of course thankfully write-caching is no longer a default) Thing is, that's not a cache- it's a useless buffer. A cache with a bad policy is just another name for a memory leak. Evewn the DOS smartdrv understood this, and even with all write caching options enabled the data was written within a few seconds; and if you wanted to be really sure you could simply run smartdrv /c to clear the cache manually before powering down.\\I think the entire problem with mass storage USB devices is that there is a tendency to "over-optimize", in complete objection to the very concept of a "hot-swappable" drive.

This "over-optimization" is clear, since there are now at least two options you can set for removable flash drives; disabling write-caching, and "optimize for quick removal" thing is, what is the difference? the only one that should cause problems for removal is write caching so is "optimize for quick removal" simply disabling write caching for that drive? And if so, why did they not label it "disable write caching(Optimize for quick removal)" or something similar?

The program in question seems, odd. The windows "safely remove" applet checks if there are open handles, and if so, simply says the drive is in use. otherwise, it dismounts it. if the "USB Safely remove" program allows you to "safely remove" the device while there are still open handles, then it is only fighting half the battle; the only certain thing is that most of the data that was written is still on the drive, and that the filesystem is not corrupted; file data may be lost since it probably forces handles closed that applications are using, which could in and of itself cause other applications to crash. This doesn't even begin to touch on the fact  that it doesn't make simply removing the drive without "warning" any safer, since the applet can't possibly know you will remove the drive. The best it can do is disable write caching, which you can do in windows anyway.

Whenever I remove a drive and the safely remove applet refuses to allow it to be removed, I run handle with the drive root path as an argument in cmd- such as "handle L:\" which will tell me which programs have files open, and I can close the files in those applications with ease. I'm sure there are GUI tools that could be used as well (Process Explorer could be used here as well). Of course that doesn't address what I feel is the worst problem- and this is hardly specific to windows, - The fact that you even need a "safely remove" option; aside from maybe determining wether the device is safe to remove, there is no purpose for it to exist. How is a flash drive really any different from a Floppy disk? You don't have to "safely remove" floppies, the very idea of doing so is absurd, and yet we accept it with Flash drives, which are, by definition, supposed to be "hot-pluggable".

I have C4D Release 10 and im wondering how to simulate physics?

Care to lend a hand I'm not sure if they have a CINEMA 4D PLUGIN, but Reactor does an excellent job of SIMULATING physics for 3ds max.

Had a LOOK around the interwebz, couldn't find any plugin smiler to Reactor.

I have windows 7 and using word 2003.  All my work starts with a template using macros.  Everything was working fine.  I needed to INSTALL OUTLOOK.  I inserted my disk but there was a scratch and it wouldn't work. I then INSTALLED outlook from another disk. It wiped out my word and excel. I then reinstalled excel and word from this new disk.  Since then I can't open my templates.  They want to open in wordpad.  I tried changing the file association but it STILL comes up associated with wordpad.  Any ideas?

Thanks

I am going to be encodeing a movie into  MP4 there are two settings I have
MPEG 4 Divx     or   H264

I see all this information on the web about  H264  is good for  High quality video.

But what is realy good here out of the two of themSimple answer. Go with H264. Newer, better and  SMALLER.  They say  H264  gives good video quality but  biger files size.

Then some say smaller file size??At the same bitrate both codecs will give files roughly the same size. The difference is that h.264 has better picture quality at lower bitrates.

In my experience, H.264 is better, I always use this. Good luck to you.The Lowest I Bit Rate I can set it to is   256  or  I can pick the word  Default.

Is  256   to Low or will it give  the same picture quality?I've experienced H 264. It has a high qualification picture. I think it's the most interesting for now.What would you say not to go below when I st the Bitrate for my  mp4 AVC  H246 ?

My player can output to HDMi  to watch on TV.

I would want the smallest file size but keep good video picture. Quote from: nymph4 on January 31, 2011, 09:41:59 AM

Does anyone know how to retrieve the Norton Antispam folder that vanished after I clicked accidentally the red X exit button at the top of the screen?  It was in outlook express shown as a folder and now its not there along with the messages it contained.  Awaiting a more specific reply--if you can remember the name of one of the removed messages you can do a search for it and that will at least show you where they are going.truenorthI'm thinking you won't find alot of Norton users here....so we're not ignoring you...Amen! Were i to actually advise you re Norton it would be to get rid of it and use one of the very good free anti virus software programs that are available and NOT nearly as intrusive to computer performance and use as Norton is.truenorth Quote from: truenorth on January 28, 2011, 03:21:40 PM

hi this is sami   i have 6 houres video .vob  or .avi    i have both formats.   i want to shink those video to 1 plyable dvd.  urgent .  i need it.

plz tel me working software.No, the standard DVD allows about 2 HOURS of video. Only VOB.
AVI files do not play on a standard DVD player. A good quality AVI file of a hour and half movie is about 800 Meg Byes. So you could put four or file such AVI files on a standard 4700 Mega Byte DVD. But it will play only on a computer.Adding to Geek's....

Many newer DVD players have USB ports and will play straight .avi files from USB flash drive. Quote from: Broni on January 27, 2011, 06:06:35 PM

I have seen many DVD movies compress into one DVD disc but have not used any type of software. The only thing I have noticed is the quality loss on video and a little on the audio side.

So you're saying they can successfully get 4 movies onto 1 DVD disk....i can't wait to see this.
