The idea of MS registring another domain to throw people off is a clever thought. However, I still don't think that IE phones home because the only addresses that show up on my firewall log are addresses that I have visited(nothing suspicious has ever come up) and the IP's of lamers who try to port sniff me and/or try to hack me(nobody has ever successfully broke through though             ). IE runs on 2 different OSes...Windows and MacOS.

now i think about it, isn't there a trial version for UX as well? re: firewall, okay, you are smart enough to have good firewalling, i know that, but are most people? i think it is bad news to play off people's ignorance, so maybe the only reason you have a clean log is due to your own decent administration of your own system.

Do I only trust MS certified track listings? Nope, not at all. I don't even bother with propriarity formats that can be protected(like wma and wmv). If I get something that is propriarity I use the appropriate program to convert it to non-propriarity(I've taken a serious liking to TMPGEnc Plus for all of my propriarity video to mpeg video conversion needs). The only formats I will use on my system are MP3 for audio and MPEG/MPG for video. I refuse to use Quicktime, Real Media or Windows Media propriarity formats. ;P

good! me too, however i have yet to find any decent program to convert quicktime into anything else. any good suggestions for this sort of thing? i particularly want support for this stuff in linux, so maybe you are not the person to ask. and i already went to doom9, which was good, up to a point... sorry, off topic.

with you making comments like this, zombie4627824678, people might get the idea that you're a pretty reasonable guy! you need to watch that...

Zombie9920:
I use TMPGEnc Plus to convert Quicktime video to MPEG. TMPGEnc doesn't let you know that you can do this(probably so Apple can't sue). When you are choosing your video source file pull down the *files of type* menu down and put it on All Files(*.*), then select your Quicktime video and do the rest like you normally would to encode the video.

In a matter of minutes you will have your QT video converted to MPEG. I haven't ran into a QT video that it hasn't converted yet.

(EDIT)The build of TMPGEnc I have is 2.57.41.146(I'm getting ready to update to 2.58 now that I know it is available). Version 2.58 is now available at www.tmpgenc.net.. 2.58 is somewhat free.  There is a timebomb on MPEG-2(SVCD/DVD format) encoding functionality(I can help you with removing that timebomb though ;P). There is no timebomb for the MPEG-1(Video CD) encoding functionality.

Sorry, I don't know of any good Linux video encoder apps. ;(

KernelPanic:
Calum mencoder is what you want for video conversion. It converts fram all formats that mplayer reads. (AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET)

choasforages:
somebody need to work on mencoder, i think it is single threaded. so having an origin or anything like that won't speed up the dvd to divx, or whatever to divx, mplayer needs to multithreaded, i mean, smp is the future, and yes, mplayer kicks alot of ass. it doesn't have a history function on the gui, it can be used without a gui, or even X, it supports a bunch of odd ass hardware

voidmain:
MEncoder really is an excellent and powerful app *if* you can get it set up on your system. I agree it needs a LOT of work as I fought for a couple of hours one day trying to get all the pieces together. When I did I must say it was worth it as it provided exactly the flexibility I needed in creating the movies I needed from still JPEG images (in addition to all the other types of conversion/manipulation that you can do with it).

If they could just get it into the necessary RPMs for each OS they would be about done. Maybe they have that by now, it's been a little while since I last installed it.
