I downloaded VLC but don't know what to do with it. The tutorials are technical and meant for the computer expert, which I am not. What I want to do is use it to view live real-time streams (such as those that open in Windows Media Player) record them, and then save them to my disk. I would like any advice at all in how to get streams and files to open in VLC and then capture them

What is a good software I can use to record my own CD's that I can play in my car? I tried using Windows media player but the quality was not very good and some of the cd's would not play.
Thanks

Hey there, I am in desperate need of a free software or program that i can use to record sound from computer directly. Mine is Vista laptop and all that "Show disabled devices"doesn't do anything. Only way for me is to get a program or software and make it work and please consider those you have used and tried.

I'm interested in getting a mp3/portable media center. I currently have a samsung yh-999 but it's too big and too difficult to get videos on it. (Windows media player takes too long to convert). I was looking to get a new unit, does anybody have any suggestions other than an Ipod? I like the way you can record off TV from the archos series, but I'm also looking for something that has decent content for me to download off the interenet. Kind of like what Itunes does for the ipod. Any suggestions?

I have tried to record music using the data option on windows and when I play it in my car it says bad disc. I don't understand. Do I need to use another program other than windows media player to record the cd?

Whenever I press the preview record button, it pops up Windows media player dialog box saying Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file. What sould I do to fix this?

tape deck. I want to record my LP vinyles and I would like to record all that music on my lap top which is also sony viao, and then burn cd's for those reccords. can some one patiently explain how to do that. My lap top has cd burner. My thought is to have a lead go into the head phone socket of the reciever and other end plug in to red color mic socket. and than use the windows media player as recorder, is that possible, i am not tech savy but can apply my mind to it if there is some guidence.

I want to record a video that is in windows media player but i think hypercam does not let me do it because of some technical reasons. Anyone knows other softwares that does the same function and is compatible with windows media player?

I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Recently i was trying to burn some cds for a friend. The cds were the CD-R type. My computer has a DVD and CD-RW drive. At first i was able to burn to CD-R and then all of a sudden my computer would not read them. Everytime i put in the cd and went to windows media player it said enter a blank disk and it wouldnt read. After a while it finally worked again. Now it is back to not reading them. I dont know if this is a problem with the hardware like the laser reading the CD-R or is it something with the drivers or it is just a faulty disk, which i have tried multiple CD-R's? Also for the record i have a Dell Dimension e510 with windows media center 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Its not that it just wont show up for the program when i open My Computer and look at the DVD-RW Drive(D:) it says that there is nothing there
