For the credits you can select "backgrounds" and open the jpeg. Then you create another menu and use the "credits background" as background. Then you rightclick the credits button in menu 1 and link it to menu 2.

For audio options you have to make another menu with 2 buttons, 1 for each audio track. You rightclick the "options" button and link it to the audio selection menu. You can rightclick the audio track buttons and link them to the correct audio track.

Click "VTS 2" one time to select it and press the delete button on your keyboard.

Wow, thank you for this. I'm going to download them all and print a few of them in full poster size. This brings back some good memories! I love Monkey Island, DotT and Sam & Max.

Lets hope it's just an incident.

If it was a white cop doing this to a black disabled person there would be riots all over the country.

And since the video was uncompressed, LD fast-forward and rewind still kick DVD's ass. So much smoother and incremental.

But yeah, other than all those things, LDs sucked.

Yeah, I miss the nice big jog wheel on DVD player remotes. That is an awesome feature of LD!

oh my God. (sigh) no, I won't do it . . . Can someone with skills in logic please explain Arnie's logical fallacy to him? I don't have the patience.

Politics thread wore you down?

What I meant was in terms of picture quality LD didn't stick out much unless you bought a really expensive LD player. Had the format been digital with a higher resolution it might have caught on better.

Do you still have the same burner? Did you update it's firmware?

Does the problem still occur with the latest version of ImgBurn? The latest version has a lot of changes and fixes.

Do you get the same error when you do a test burn (simulation)?

Also, do you use the setting "when saving leave at least 32k between ifo and bup"?

Do you use the seamless layerbreak option when selecting the layerbrake just before burning?

I've only had one error with ImgBurn. I couldn't burn a certain .ISO but I got the error before the actual burning started so I didn't loose any discs. Eventually I gave up. It must be so frustrating burning a discs and having an error pop up during finalizing. It would drive me nuts too.

If nothing else works I would buy a new burner I guess.

I think it's "Hanging" or "Escape" (short version of "Hanging") by Craig Armstrong (from the movie Plunkett & Macleane).

Now I know that damn thing ain't right!!!

I think ferris is closer to Obama/Edwards and lordjedi is close to Clinton.
I have to say, ferris, lordjedi and Darth Chaltab, you guys are much closer to the Democrats than you are to the Republicans. Pretty close to John Kerry also as far as I can see from the other graph.

Btw, does the "state-imposed collectivism" mean I'm a commie?

Yeah, I noticed. LOL.

I have to say there should have been an option "I couldn't care less" for every question. With a lot of question I felt forced to take a side while I really didn't care or didn't have an opinion.

Do you know what "align=true" does in the crop function? I read a frame can sometimes be placed unaligned in memory after cropping. But I don't known what it means if a frame is unaligned and exactly when it happens. Is it just to improve speed?

A lightning strike ended my TF2 fun and it killed my beamer and TV also.

My modem got fried. I got a new one (Thomson Speedtouch 780) and I can forward ports but I can't play because everytime I start a game within 10 seconds it freezes and I get the error message "WARNING: connectivity problem. Autodisconnect in 25 seconds".

This sucks.

I don't have the files on my PC right now so I can't try your script.

By the image shake do you mean the left-right shake of the entire frame or the movement that sometimes occurs very locally within a frame? Also, do you plan to use it for certain scenes only or do you use it on the entire film? Did you notice any bad side effect?

Well, I searched google for the video and found numerous links to it, but they all lead back to the same page silverwook linked to. Anyway, it wasn't that huge of a deal, just a guy who has a room in his basement full of all his Star Wars stuff. His wife complains because she feels that he spends more time in his Star Wars room with his collection than he does with her. She called Dr. Phil (not sure if you know who he is, he is a fake TV psychologist who has his own show where people come on and talk about there problems and he helps them work it out while cracking a lot of dry jokes and making the audience laugh.) In the video they mention going on the Dr. Phil show, and the guy says that he was nervous and thought Phil would tear him apart, but he ended up taking his side and after it was over Phil bent over and told him that he had a really cool Stormtrooper costume (or something to that effect). Know you know as much as we do I think. Did I leave anything out anybody?

Yeah, I know Dr. Phil. I watch his shows sometimes. But I never thought he was a Star Wars nut.

That's probably it.

I'm now getting Tsjaad rebel attack footage. For a split second the only thing my brain filtered out was "rebel attack" so I thought this time I got the correct video.

This is so depressing, you guys are getting Star Wars stuff and the only thing I see is the madness of this world.

Arnie, I just tried the link, it works fine for me. It has a short commercial or ad at the beginning that you have to wait to finish before it will show you the video. Is that maybe what you were seeing?

No, first I get a Suzuki commercial, after that I always get a car bomd aftermath, a suicide bomber aftermath or IED aftermath video. They are different every day. I see a lot that's related to wars but I'm missing the stars.
