1) Do you see the little icon in the buttom right of ur screen that says "EN"? ok right click
2) then choose "settings"...a browser will appear...so click "Add" on that browser
3) now in the next browser choose "Russian" in the "Keyboard layout/IME"

and that's it...now u can type in russian cyrillics...and no it does not affect anything else...except that some media players won't play files that are named in any language other than english...other than that i haven't encountered any problems...cheers

Tip: to quickly shift between languages...press Alt + Shift and see the little icon change from "EN" to "RU"...

1. dload VirtualDub-1.6.17 (stable build) or VirtualDub-1.7.0 (experimental build)
2. decompress to a location of your choice
3. configure the host program as such to be aware of VirtualDub's existence (usually done by specifying the path to VirtualDub.exe)

good luck & have fun

Thanks !!!!, I hope it works

You can play around with MPEG-2 editing with Cuttermaran, for instance.

This is internet related but, how do you host an invisionfree forum? Like etc.com/forum, I can't figure it out!

[QueenBee]

TreIsCool32, make a new folder called "forum" and put all the forum files in there? (lol) I'm not sure if invisionfree allows it though, I think you need to download a forum script of some sort to be able to do that (like here it is vBulletin)

I'll try both of those, thanks. Cause when I go to domains, it tells me direct the DNS to it. I cant have seperate DNS' for sub domains, but you'd think you'd host it in there. SO CONFUSING!

[QueenBee]

TreIsCool32, that's weird... Hmm, I'm sure there are other members here who are smarter than me who can help you, hehe *waits for someone* Good luck anyway, maybe there's some more info on invisionfree's website? Don't they have a forum for questions and concerns?

i've downloaded the six avi files from the B1 Club performance. the vid quality is great and so is the audio but i can barely hear Y&L over the cheering crowd. Is there any way to reduce their singing and raise Y&L's voices?

Valito, what you're asking for is a multistage process :
1. demux
2. transcode audio to an uncompressed format
3. edit
4. transcode to a lossy format
5. remux
While the rest are easy (if not naive) tasks, step #3 is quite tricky. One would have to isolate the right frequency bands and attenuate all leftovers. AFAIK you can accomplish that, properly, only with professional software. Many $ and/or the right skill...

A lot of people have been converting videos to this format. Is their any possible way to convert them back to .avi once you've downloaded them?

I need to make captures for my site and I can't do some with this type of file.

What program do you convert with?

Thanks.

Two internet questions

1. Is there any program for over 800px screencapping? I've seen caps 1300px before - and I'm totally jealous!
2. I can't find a good dvd ripper. Even if I have to pay (nothing outrageous), can someone suggest something?

What is a good dvd ripper ?
teasingmode off

Anyway, autogk could be a starting point for a performance-hungry newbie...
(which is, IMO, a walking/talking/breathing contradiction)

Go to http://www.autogk.me.uk/index.php, dload latest version, read the tutorials till you'll reach a reasonable comprehension of the task at hand, do a test rip (trial & error), proceed to the actual ripping.

Even if I have to pay

Software (like the above mentioned) might be for free, knowledge isn't ever. Never ever.

Good luck & have fun, Amanda.

I was wondering how you can take the sound from a music video f.ex and make it into a mp3-file... Is there a program that does it?

If anybody knows I'd really appreciate the info. Spanks a bunch!

[Edit] When I thought that the light in the end of tunnel was just an hallusination I actually were able to walk through
I've been looking for a program like this forever, and had problems finding one on google, but as I lost hope I discovered Power Video Converter. It worked as I wanted it to. Yeeey [/Edit]
