    Size of wmv files viewed thru my TV

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?) My test is finished for now. My DVD player does play back MP3/WMA files as well as JPEG. As for now my discs will serve as nice content backups and will play fine on my computer. Someday I'm sure I will be able...

    Size of wmv files viewed thru my TV

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?) Wow, thanks Mark. That's really surprising but does make sense. Kind of similar then to viewing JPEGs on the TV, but if you're not too close they look OK. Anybody else with experience with this? To me it's...

    Size of wmv files viewed thru my TV

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?) I've transferred some wmv files to DVD-RW and am considering putting them also on DVD-R so my DVD player can play them on my TV. Said files are broadband encoded with Windows Encoder 9.0 and run from 350x280 to...

    Finalizing my DVD-RW in Easy CD Creator

    Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?) Thanks a lot for the responses. I figured I was on to the never able to be finalized part. Guess it was really the fault of my DVD manual which states that it does play such discs only if they're finalized...

    Tom's Review of the 845D

    I would relish a more detailed rebuttal. "Too little", I have to disagree with you on that. Once support for PC2700 DDR is implemented, I think you will see just how well the P4 performs. "Too late", yeh, I'll agree to an extent, the SDRAM thing wasn't Intel's best offering. I still would...

    Tom's Review of the 845D

    I really don't think it is "too little - too late". The SIS board has only been out since late September / early October. I really like for a company to test something before submitting it to the masses. It seems, to me, that testing the 845 with PC133 and graduating to DDR is a likely...

    Tom's Review of the 845D

    Thanks for the reply FatBurger: Einstein was regarded as "insane" as well, but we all know that was based upon the observations of the ignorant. Also, rambling and incoherent tend to suggest that there is no basis for fact; thus, being void of fact and merit, the logical and reasonable man...

    Tom's Review of the 845D

    I am an avid fan of Tom's Hardware and feel compelled to voice an opinion based on the review of the Intel 845D chipset. Since the beginning of the Pentium 4 processor, Tom's has genuinely sided with the DDR crowd and basically denounced RAMBUS (mainly because of price and probably that no...
