DVD Editing Software Confusion

JamesJ — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:16:45 GMT

Vista Basic spa.
I have a dvd/cd rw.
Although software did come with the drive I don't have it installed at this
time
because I'm not sure if it has the features I require.
The more I look to the internet to try to find out what software I need the
worse my
headache gets.
I'll list the things I want to accomplish and hopefully someone here can
point me in the right direction.

I'm not sure of some of the terminology either but I'll attempt to explain
the best I can

1) I want to be able play regular DVDs on my commuter.
2) While playing the dvd I want to be able to pause and clip the still and
save it as a jpg.
3) I want to be able to rip a portion of the DVD and save it to a video file
(mpeg, avi...)
4) Then I'd like to be able to rip 5 to 20 seconds of AUDIO of the ripped
video (or from the original DVD if that's possible) and save it as a wav
file.
5) Create DVDs playable on my DVD player from several video file formats
like one can do with Windows DVD Maker but isn't included in Vista Basic.

I would prefer a suite with all these feature if possible.

Any help will be appreciated,
James

Unable to open jpg's in window's

Jen81 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:28:47 GMT

I go to a .jpg file double click and normally it would open and I would
be able to view the picture.

For some reason I can't view the picture at the moment, the Windows
picture viewer opens with an egg timer like it is waiting to open but
nothing happens.

This happened about a year ago but my partner fixed it and he doesn't
remember how, but it's been working fine for the last year!

It isn't confined to specific folders, I have read on several posts
where this has happened to people in a specific folder and has been down
to a rougue URL, but I don't see how this can be the case in this
instance.

I really hope someone can help!

Yes I did - it's the one I'm avoiding - the one that gives you hotmail,
calls it WLM, and creates confusion.

In the meantime I've stumbled across the other site.

Thanks for your willingness to help.

I'm afraid that's it too. It took all morning for it to get back to

Thank you for trying to help. I was hoping that it was all somehow
connected to all the other issues, but it must be a coincidence.

I think I'll get a Phenom II x3 720 since the Athlon II x4s, and the newer
Phenom II x4s, require a BIOS upgrade to use the more recent AMD processor
releases and, of course, I can't do a BIOS upgrade without a supported
processor on the mobo. I checked the supported processor list before I
bought the AM 2+ mobo and the Athlon II x4s Phenom II x4s were listed as
being supported but it certainly wasn't obvious that a BIOS upgrade was
needed.

I'm going to go with Vista 64 for the time being, since I have a NFR copy of
Vista 64 Ultimate and 4GB DDR2, at least, until I have everything working.
The mobo has onboard ATI HD3200 graphics which is supposed to be a decent
chip, but I'm not sure how much memory I can dedicate for video . If it
proves to be inadequate, I'll get an add-on video card.
