While there may be a technical way around this, an easier way would be to cut your MPEG at the 99th film (Or 98th, so you can put a chapter stop at the end to allow skipping over it), and the remaining segment would start over with the chapters. You can link the 1st segment to the 2nd so that it will automatically start the next segment if you were watching all the way through (the pause would be minor.)

If you still have the videos in Vegas, then just make two new MPEGs. Did you have any other Vegas questions?

Well, Xerox saw no real use in the mouse or the GUI, and so didn't bother to patent them (there were a few others, but these were obviously the biggies. My mother worked for Xerox back in the day.)

"I'm confused. Are you classifying the underlying code that makes up the OS as a language?"

I'm sure he's talking about the code. There were actually quite a few versions of DOS, such as Dr. Dos and such.

"The canon european versions have cdr printing capabilities fully enabled."

I found this odd, but I ran across this:

Epson apparently has a patent in the US for inkjet printing on CD/DVD, that's why you don't see any Canons for sale in the US, but outside the US HP & Canon have models that will do this, so try and find a non-US market Canon to print on your CDs.


Makes sense to me.

"They'd have little power to manipulate people if they were forced to compete on that level. It's mostly luck."

For the record, Bill and his buddy didn't even create DOS. It was created by another company, and bought by Bill and resold as his own (legally, but you get the point.) It was certainly luck to begin with, but it was parleyed into much more. When your licensing agreement with the computer manufacturer states that they will pay will pay a royalty on every computer they sell, whether it has DOS or OS/2 (remember that one?), then the computer manufacturer would be stupid to not put DOS on the computer that they are paying a royalty for anyways.

Then again, the computer manufacturer would be stupid to sign such an agreement in the first place, but what's done is done.

And I've been lurking off and on, JediSage. Nice to see I'm still noticed around here. Been busy, lately, and ready to jump back into that X0 action.

I'm wondering, now, about the "Last Time to buy the OT" LDs, otherwise known as the Faces set. I knew someone who belonged to the Columbia House DVD Program (Buy 5, get one free), and he mentioned that those LDs were given away to new members, or something like that. Whilst the Def. Col. was going for big bucks, the Faces set, near the end, was going for $10 to $15 dollars, if that much.

Though I remember paying about $40 for the widescreen VHS release. Months later, I broke down and opened it up to play the films, and found out the tapes were bad. I was able to go back to the store (The Wherehouse, maybe?), buy a new set, and return the old set with the new receipt.
