Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Likewise my dvd player can play mpeg 4 & divX files. I simply burn those as data format. That's a lot of video on a 4.37 GB DVD5 format disk. And heaps more for a dvd-mp3 disk. Of course, burning regular mpeg-2 dvd's requires special formatting of the files & format (UDF). And VCD & SVCD also have a specific CD format for video. Coloured books is what their formats are refered to as for CD's. A particular format for a particular type of cd; ie: game cd, video cd, music cd, etc.

My player was also relatively cheap ... certainly less than the major brands yet can play more formats than many of those!!!
$109 AUD (about US $81)

And whats wrong with watching them as a data burn on your computer? Cd burns are much cheaper but, if you want to go the expensive way by all means do so. I watch movie burns just fine on my laptop. No fancy DVD player's required for me. Burn the file in Nero 6 as a data burn and play in WMP with the codecs. All for the price of a blank CD.

CD or DVD media are not expensive where I am (even dvd-9 disks are now a fraction of what they cost a year ago. $5 each or about $1 for dvd-5 disks.) eg: I temporarily copy & burn borrowed videos onto dvd-rw disks so we can watch them when we like if we're pushed for time. Keeping everything on your computer takes up space & adds to wear on your HDD. Burnt as disks they will most likely last longer than the majority of HDD's. And having a dvd data disk of video music clips (or just music) for example keeps it organised & indexed for easy playback.

Same in the Faroe Islands about US$ 1.25 for a DVD-R and US$ 0.30 for a CDR, but since DVD-R fits more than 5 times the data it's cheaper in the long run.

BTW my DVD player/recorder wasn't cheap at all, but it has the works. Plays most formats, PC-link (I don't even have to burn a DVD, just turn on a program ), internet connection for musicchannels and to see what on the various TV-channels I have even if they have no TEXT-TV and a 40GB Harddisk where I can move recorded video to my PC and then burn it with Nero.

Had to order it from Denmark. After customs + tax it cost me about US$ 850

If you're after a cheap DVD player that plays most formats just burn a test DVD containing those formats and take it with you to the store for testing. Don't just jump right in and believe everything it says on the box. The DVD player my sister bought didn't even say that it was MPEG 4 compatible. It only said VCD and SVCD

I should mention I can play bought DVD's on my laptop as well as burn DVD's if I wanted too but, I still prefer CD burns in Nero. It's just easier for me and and less expensive. I dont keep everything on my HD, LOTR. My laptop doesnt have the space for that so I burn everything on disks anyway and dont download as much as I used too as I got more than I need for music files from my Napster days which is close to 20 CD's, data burns, full of music.

Default Burning a movie to something you can watch in your dvd player

I have used the following successfully in the past, but there is not perfect art form. I was happy with VSO DivX to DVD for a while.

http://www.vso-software.fr/

It seemed to do mpg files too..which was good. This software I had the most success with.

Now to burn a DVD to DVD, there are programs like DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. I expect them not to be around too long since they can be thought of more than just a "backup" solution.

I have also burned avi files to VCD or SVCD which means burning to a CD format. I don't remember those utilities. So far, I'm trying to burn from DVD to DVD, but seem to be getting errors on my DVD Shrink.

Oh well, I don't want to bother the group (yet) on that issue. BTW, this is my very first post here. I use Limewire. Is that bad for this forum? It was recommended by a friend, but still uses the gnutella network, correct?

If I remember correctly MacroVision bought the right to DVD-Decrypter 9 months ago and forced everyone offering the download to remove it. Wonder why

Is it available for download again ? (I mean on the web)

As to your burning problem you should make a new thread for it

??? Why should using LImewire be bad for the Limewire section of the Gnutella Forums ???
