The video format is .avi (which made the file humungous (1.2 GB for 10 seconds!) but I wanted it to be lossless for the stablisation filter which I wanted to apply in VirtualDub before importing it back into Vegas. I couldn't open the files which my camcorder produces directly (.m2ts) in...

Hey. The video is HD. With VirtualDub 1.9.9, the CPU is at less than 40% and with Sony Vegas 9.0c, the CPU is at less than 60%. I want to know what component of my system is limiting the speed of rendering a video at the end of editing. Depending on the situation, it takes a minute to half...

If my CPU is less than 40% occupied during video rendering, what can I investigate in my system in order to speed up the process? Could it be my HDDs or my memory? System drive: Maxtor Diamondmax 22 500GB SATA-II 32MB Video files: 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6B160M0 160GB SATA-150 8MB = RAID 1

If it's not illegal to borrow a retail disc from a friend, how could it be illegal to download one from the Internet? He has a license to do exactly that; to use Windows XP (in whatever version he has), on one PC.

You should start your own thread. This thread is for a different problem. You can try to get another pressed disc via this route: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-gb If I were in your situation, I wouldn't be paying for another license. I advise XP, for older hardware, even...

Wait a minute - you own the Windows XP licence, right? You just don't have the software on a disc? My recommendation is to just download a Windows XP image via the internet and install using your Windows XP key - you own a licence so I don't think it's illegal. In any case, you'd be hard...

About 70 GB, although most of that wont change often, I guess.

I'd like to set up my computer to synchronise certain files and folders with my mum's computer, so as to maintain a back-up. Is there any way that I can set this up (my PC: Win 7; her PC Win XP) so that she wont have access to the files? I'm not so bothered if she sees what's there, but I don't...

Why memtest and not memtest86+? My suspicion is RAM and I suggest running memtest86+ from a burned CD overnight, possibly even longer. I once ran Memtest86+ and only got one error approximately every seven passes, so one pass isn't enough. Even if you get errors, that doesn't prove that it's the...

If it was properly programmed, wouldn't it cycle through itself, without the need for repeated user intervention? Or at least tell the user that it needs to be repeated?

You could do a search for 'blowhole computer mod' and find out how to make a vent at the very top of the case. I personally have three fans (two front, one side) going in and none going out (PSU is at the very bottom of the case so doesn't count). I have dust filters on the outside of all fans...

I don't think it's scary.. where did the sound come from; the speakers or something else? Maybe your mobile telephone was transmitting/receiving at that moment? Assessment: about 0.5 on Sean's scale of scariness :P

Hit the nail on the head, there :D

lol... april fools joke

What are the specifications, including PSU, of the machine? How old was the machine when this started happening? Have you upgraded any hardware recently? Does it happen usually when you're doing something in particular (e.g. gaming)? I had this problem and confirmed that it was due to faulty...

I was wondering about using an SSD drive for my system disk - I understand that PCIe SSD drive is faster than a SATA SSD drive. Would it come with a driver that would enable installation of Windows (7) onto that drive? Assuming that it's used every day, how long would it last, compared to the...

By testing the sticks of RAM individually, and then using the good stick while reperforming the CPU tests, I found that the fault lies only with the RAM for which I've started the exchange process.

lol. motherboarding? is the first month the £42, the second month, £48 and the next month £92 for 384 months? Would you be interested in switching your internet service providings to a provider that provides a better service of internet service providings than your current providings? Edit: I...

I recently built the system outlined in my signature but have suffered occasional random restarts while playing Left 4 Dead 2. I've played Fallout 3 and experienced crashes but they could well be coding errors (Windows continued to run underneath). So far, errors have been found when testing...
