I'm trying to download a video from the internet to my real player so I can record it on a disc.

I tried this last night, and it's still processing the video. So today, I tried to redownload it... and I'm experiencing the same issue... it's taking forever to process.

What's up with this?

The video is about 45 minutes long. It's been processing for the last 2-3 hours.

I reall want to get this video, but I'm getting frustrated.

What's wrong?

Thanks for the help!

if so, what type of disc does it use?

I have windows xp home edition and have windows media player 10 on the system. This is home recorded material of a piano performance on DVD -R recording. WMP keeps giving message that I need to install DVD decoder which is only available (per microsoft) thru vendors like Cyberlink/Sonic/InterVideo... etc. for 30 to 40 $, Is their a better way or different DVD player a person can download or a DVD decoder that is available as free download. Any suggestions or help is appreciated. I am using a desktop computer-Dell- Pentium 4 CPU 2.8 GHz with Windows XP Home Edition.Thanks- DKG

I have an antique Crosley Radio,serial Number 1627512, it has short wave capabilities as well as push tune buttons, i would like to know the year, model type, if there is one, and the approximate value for one in fair condition, thanks!

SAYS "NOT RECOGNIZE". HELP PLEASE. THANKS IN ADVANCE

I think like some one yesterday said Dice -k should win Cy because he has a good record and his team has been better than
Cliff Lee but cliff Lee 16-2 2.45 era 128 k, and 22bb 1.08 whip

and i think he is an example like Alex Rodriguez who was with the rangers in 2003 he won the MVP even tough the Rangers dint do good.

I don't think its the players fault if the rest ot the team is doing their part

I'm moving out of my parents' house for the first time in a few months, but I thought about a potential problem with roaches moving with me! I HATE bugs, and the whole point of moving is to get a fresh start. I'm a college student without a whole lot of money at my disposal (its a miracle even that I'm able to afford moving out!!!). I own an oldschool tv (as in NOT HD/LCD tv) w/ slits for ventilation in the back, a DVD player w/ ventilation on the bottom, a VCR with the front "Tape-cover" thing broken off, a vinyl record player/turntable, an el-cheapo Lexxon subwoofer-home theater system, a 4 channel mixer, and a portable Zoom digital recording studio. Oh yeah, and I just got a printer for my birthday...

What are some tricks or hints or pieces of advice that any of you may have when experiencing similar issues?
HEY "tk" I don't see how this is a stupid question, not nearly as much as you gave me a stupid answer because you can't spray "INSIDE OF" electronic devices where the roaches are attracted to the warmth and the equipment! Thank you for being insensitive!

For a while now I've been wanting to start an LP collection. So far, I have been able to find several vinyls in excellent condition, however I do not yet have a turntable on which to play them (and yes, I do plan on playing them). Ideally, I would like a turntable which is able to play the records without causing any (or which causes very little) wear to them. However, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on one. I'd like to spend around 0 on a turntable, but if it would make a big difference I'd be willing to pay up to around 0-250 for a good one.

Any other general advice or information I should know about turntables would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new at this, so I know very little about them. For example: one thing I have noticed is that many seem to come with dust covers. But wouldn't such a cover also obscure the sound being played rather significantly? Or do you only close it when it is not being used? Also, is any sort of amp typically required? Anything else I should know?

Thank you very much for your help
Thanks for the advice, Brandon. Another question, though: Can you typically put any cartridge on the arm of any record player, or do you have to be careful to make sure you get the right kind? Also, there are quite a few different types of Cartridges within those two brands you mentioned. How do I tell which one to get?
Alright, I've done a bit more research and it looks like two good options would be the Audio-Technica AT-PL120 or -PL50. The PL50 is about while the PL120 is 0. From what I can tell, they are both low-end, "starter" turntables, but the PL120 seems to get much better reviews. Is it really worth the extra 0 though? What is most important to me is that I cause as little wear as possible to the records. Would the PL120 be better for this?

Also, I looked into cartridges and managed to find what seems to be a fairly good one for a good price on Amazon - The Shure M97xE, for . Is this worth getting, or is the cartridge that would come with either of the above turntables adequate? Are there any others I should consider? Again, I want to reduce wear to the records as much as I can while staying within my budget.

Finally, is there any other equipment I would need to buy with these? Amplifiers, speakers, etc?

Thanks for any help

Ok so, theres the New Years Player Record Reset gift. i have so many Questions for it. when you use it, does it take back all the NX Items/Gear you've Purchased? Would you be able to name your character again? does it take your rank to "Trainee" all over again? it just annoys me how these questions keep spinning through my head. i have an SFC1 and i made it on December 10th 2010, and it's the fastest i have ever leveled and i just didn't want it to go to WASTE!!!! hmm, well please answer this because the Player Record Reset last 7 days after Jan 1st 2011 .

My amazing husband bought me what I've always wanted- a record player. I went out and bought some of my favorite records- and at a steal. So I go home to play them, and I can barely hear the music. I have to stand right there just to hear any noise. So what speakers do I need, and where can I find them? The model number is 304. 91810 251, it being Sears Roebuck. Thanks!
I gave you the model number and type. what more do you need? obviously, you didn't read the question lol.

We have a roughly twenty years old Sony stack system featuring a record player, twin cassette deck and five spaced cd player.

I am very fond of it and will rue the day when it finally goes the way of all good things.

I like the sound and smell of our old scratchy vinyl records the oldest of them once belonging to my parents plus a couple of old 78's one being the skater's waltz.

I played an old 45 earlier on which was one of our early purchases,I wonder if you can recall Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold', I would post a link but the one I've found isn't a very good copy, I've also got some old 331/3 LP's which I love to listen to for old times sake.
Hubby groans as he would much prefer to play the more modern day remastered versions.

So can you and do you still like to play records?

looking to by a record player! is there any extra good brand or are they all pretty much the same? i don't really care if it s new or used i just want it to work :) other than the brand, any suggested models?

i bought an i audio 8gig portable mp3 player to record public speaking while sitting in large and small halls where they brodcast the program over an FM frequency. the problem is i get bad reception, or interference from regular radio stations. i have the cheap headphones that came with the player and i cant find any headphones that say specificly that they have a better quality antenna. an antenna that plugs into the headphone jack but also has a splitter so you can still plug in the headphones would also work.

anyone know how i can get the best fm reception on my mp3, or which headphones also make a really good antenna?

I want a DVD Player that records a TV show on a disk. Similar to how a VCR used to do it. Can I get a good cheap one?

To be more specific, i want to put music from a CD on to a cassette. (dont ask why, i just do :P) Using a CD and Cassette player. You know that Record button on the player? I wanna see if I can actually do this. Is it possible?

I'm gonna make this as short as possible because I know novels are annoying on here. :)

I have been suspicious of my husband for the past several weeks because he's grooming himself a lot, gone missing often for hours and won't take my calls or text messages, and has been very rude to me for small things. Also, he has come up with several reasons to not be intimate with me. We haven't done anything for over two months.

Yesterday, he wanted me to drive his mom to a town about 45 min from here so she could put flowers or his dad's grave. I knew something was up so I left my mp3 player recording and this is what I got, and I'm wondering what he's doing exactly. There were three conversations over two hours and here are the things I heard him say for sure:

he called a lady named Deb and asked her is she liked his ideas. He mentioned something about 00 being a lot of money, the health and mental wellbeing of 'these girls',
he also said something about head shots and three girls being too prissy and then he laughed.
He mentioned head shots again and then he must have went onto the patio cause I couldn't hear the rest of that call. A little later, I heard him calling massage parlor looking for availability and asked who's working and what kind of build they have. He seemed to know their names.
The last call he was very flirtatious and talked kinda low. I was able to hear him talking about a well-known massage parlor here in Tulsa called 'all about you' and how he liked their lobby, staircase and rooms at the top. He mentioned that he liked places that people have to be buzzed in cause it's safer. One lady he talked to said shed been attacked, per his comment to her.

Please tell me what he's doing?! I don't know what do to & ive been up all night trying to figure this out. Thank you!

I have a Jensen JTA-450 and it has the two audio RCA ports in the back. The problem I am facing is that my speakers have the + and - signs for the speaker wire.

So my question is what do I need to get it to play? I wanted to stay away from a reciever since I don't have that much space. Is there an amplifier which is smaller that I could use? And then from there is there and RCA converter?

So for christmas my mom is redcorating my room.and i want like a retro theme but im on a low budget i need links and i deas to get the retro theme inmy room such as i found an afordable record player on craigslist now i just need more retro things like furniture and acesories

thanx : ]

I've got a new iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) and I want to get a case before my 15 day return policy is over. I was looking at a variety of a cases and I wondered what case will protect the iPod better. You see, I've got a terrible record for portable media. I've frozen an mp3 player (somehow) and dropped the other out a window.

I have a cassette player that plays a special type of cassette and there are many songs I do not recognize. I have heard of shazam for cellular phones but for some reason I cannot access their website. Also, I cannot upgrade my phone at this time. Is there a computer program that can recognize the title and artist of a track using a microphone?

Kobe missed 23 games since Shaq left. Without Kobe, Lakers recorded 15 wins and 8 loses. Odom missed 46 games since joining the Lakers. Without Odom, Lakers recorded 19-27. This is pretty clear. Odom makes way more impact.

In the 2004-05 season, Odom played 64 games, winning 33; Kobe played 77 winning 28. It should also be noted that Odom played 15 games with his injury. And during that stretch, Lakers lost 11 games.

In the 2005-06 season, both Odom and Kobe played 80 games. But Odom had 45 wins and every Lakers win had Odom in it. Kobe missed out on 2, and Kobe had 43 wins.

In the 2006-07 season, Odom played 56 games, winning 34. And Kobe played 66 games, winning 30.

Odom has a 0.560 winning record, and Kobe has 0.453 winning record rounded up.

From the data, Odom is the better player. In the minds of many Kobe fans, Kobe is the "best," but Odom is statistically better. Doesn't that make Odom the best in the NBA? Or is Kobe just way overrated?
All the data could be gather here:
http://www.lakersweb.net/yearbyyear/lalakers_2004_2005.htm (etc)
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/lamar_odom/career_stats.html (etc)
Jephatitis E. asked, "Why would a better "winning percentage" (not even a relevant statistic for one basketball player) than Kobe Bryant make anyone the best player in the NBA and make them comparable to Jordan?"

Kobe fans kept comparing Kobe to Jordan non-stop. Lamar and Kobe have the same coach and supporting players. There is no outside variable. This is the most valid comparison because nothing is theoretical. If you can compare Kobe to Jordan and Odom is better than Kobe, then you can compare Odom to Jordan, unless, of course, Kobe is way overrated.

If you think comparing Odom to Jordan is ridiculous, then you agree that Kobe is ridiculously overrated.

I have a pretty new Compaq and Windows XP home.

That doesn't make sense to me. Back before DVD players, I used to record shows and movies on VHS all the time. Now I record them on my DVR. However, I can't burn movies onto a DVD? How would that be any different than when I used to record onto VHS?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/antique_radio_kid/5489600993/ please look at this photo and let me know if you can tell what brand it is at least! i need to find the brand so i can get a schematic for it! there are NO numbers of any kind on the radio except a patent date and the company 'reliance die & stamping co' on the bracket for the tuning condenser...

Well pretty much I'm looking to get into a new hobby that i can do instead of playing video games all the time...i will be making my decision by December because whatever i choose i will be getting for Christmas. I have some ideas in mind and would like to get some feedback from people that do these hobbies my first choice is model railroading and my second would be dj mixing and turntablism..I'm not limited to these 2 however and am open to any new ideas.. also if it helps I'm 17 years of age, 18 in February and I am a guy...any help would be appreciated thanks!!!
