Computer Questions (formally Your Desktop)

A quick search came up with this:

Don't know if it will do what you want Thor.

Don't thank me, thank the programmer. I'm just the messenger.

Got fed up with Avira as my antivirus software and switched to Avast. I like the simple interface of Avast.

I think that it looks good. The layout is nice and simple. Perhaps you could have a bit more contrast with the text? Maybe it's just me being on a laptop because it doesn't take much of a change of viewing angle for me to find it a bit tricky to read the text easily.

Can anyone tell me how you do it , that you link a picture here, when you press a certain word.
I saw it in other comments the word is usually underlined and when I click on it it opens up a new window with a picture the person wanted us to see.
Do you know what I mean? Sorry

What Gilles said. You can also just copy paste a link to an image in your message. Don't worry about playing around with it a little.

Good stuff, my lad!
It's clean, clear and with all the right versatility and functionality.

Having prepared the odd WP site myself, I really like this!

Wouldn't it be the case that, if it wasn't mentioned on download.com, there won't be anything you are after?

Do you have quicktime ?

In that case it's very easy... Just open the clip in QT, go to 'File', choose 'Export' and from there you can either extract the video or audio, but the audio only into WAV. But from WAV to MP3 is not a big hassle either.

I think that only works with QuickTime Pro though, which you have to pay for?
Alternatively you could just play the clip in QuickTime (which is free) and capture the sound through the (built in) windows sound recorder.

However that will only save to Windows proprietary WMA format.

Alternatively you can use Audacity, which is free and extremely modifiable.

You'll probably need a few minutes to familarise yourself with its settings, but then it'll records and modify anything you throw at it. It won't directly convert MOV to WAV (I think!), but it will capture any output sound and convert it to whatever you like.



The difference is in your own requirements.
Dell uses their own hardware suppliers, so you won't be able to modify anything by supplier (so if you'd want, say, an ASUS motherboard, you ain't gonna get it). Of course that makes them (relatively) cheap to deal with, which is an advantage against a custom-built machine.

So it's all up to your own considerations as to how deeply you want to be able to control and define components.

Has anyone experience with breaking down one huge flac file into the individual tracks?
Tom

Yes, like the programs where you're not careful it installs a totally new web browser or some crap like that. I hate when that happens.

Didn't know about Quicktime Pro being needed to convert.

Tom, are you trying to burn an audio CD from the FLAC, or just a data CD? If the former, I'd convert the FLAC to .wav first, with Audacity or whatever other audio editor you use. Convert it to 16bit/44.1khz sample rate, which is what audio cds are...better to have audio software to do the conversion than cd burning software. I've found some cd burning software doesn't do very well if you give it 24bit audio files (because it has to convert them to 16bit anyway). I've not used Roxio in the past, but pre-formatting the audio might help.

If you're just burning a data cd, that's very odd and I have no idea what the problem might be :/

Computers aren't user friendly at all. In a way I'm faced with a huge disadvantage in that I know a little so all my friends come to me as the computer expert. The Roxio and Nero won't co-exist on the same computer. I guess for now I live with what I have. I spent 8 hours trying to figure it out.
