It depends what you want to use the file for. Just transfering it? Or you want to play it on a dvd player?

I've never heard of anyone EVER trying to do that, but you might want to try the forum's SEARCH function just to make sure...

How much are you willing to spend? If you can spare $200, I couldn't recommend highly enough the Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones. They have excellent sound quality throughout the entire audible range (they are considered professional studio headphones). They have the some of the best bass...

Wow, I didn't know 1.4ghz Tualatins were ever made. I thought they only went up to 1.13 ghz, and most people don't even know that those exist. Also, you might want to make a post in the building section since that is the main idea in your post. Questions about what games you'll be able to...

That's a clever way of doing it. I haven't ever used Movie Maker, but I gave it a try for a few minutes to see if I could and my few attempts didn't get very good results. I was disgusted how crappy Movie Maker's audio features are... virutally non existent. Now to make your own bleep (if you...

Yea, there is really no need for such a port. Sound quality is dependent solely upon the card and speakers (and perhaps any horrible undesirable interference factors you may, but shouldn't have). It's a direct shot from the card to the speakers so...

You need a 5.1 capable sound card. I urge you to resist the temptation to gimmicky 5.1 headphones though. I wish I had. I can't believe I fell for it. Live n learn. (Unless you have $800-900 to drop on a high end pair.)

Installation: turn off and unplug pc, open your pc case, touch bare metal frame to ground yourself, put the card in the slot, close the case, turn on pc, crack open a beer, enjoy. The software is what will let you actually use the card. You open your "TV" just like a program, and you can...

You definitely posted in the wrong section :P. I only happened to see this post because I accidently clicked the wrong link when trying to get to the multimedia subforum. Anyway... here's the exact same advice I gave someone else a week or so ago. Oh, and someone would like me to make sure...

That's pretty cool. You've been finding some good stashes lately. I was looking forward to the Planet Rock video but its only like a two minute preview or something :/. Definitely some other cool ones though.

The method you currently use will work just fine. You really don't need any softare if all you want to do is a one time back up of data (like the mp3s). Just swap in an empty hard drive and copy from your current drive to the empty.

Actually, most video files are actually going to look quite nice if you output them from your laptop to your TV. Now, for anything else, even just looking at icons on the desktop, yes, it'll look like crap. If you full-screen a video on your TV it should work very well. The only time you...

I'd already covered the possibility that he might have a laptop... And yea, you're kind of right about unknown brands, but someone's always going to have to be the first one to have some balls and give a different company a chance. Fortunately for me, newegg allowed me to read reviews other...

Actually, I did. On the other hand, by the time I decided to reply, I definitely had forgotten he wanted USB. I'm so unworthy. Sorry if you were offended by my comment on your tuner. Oh, wait. I'm not. Anyway... instead of getting pi$$y about little things... my giving him information...

That was a decent read. Like you said, mainly the beginning. I still don't know if I agree with them about the tree falling in the forest though :P. Afterall, "sound" is merely perception of energy, and if, like they say, no one is there to perceive anything, wouldn't there just be energy...
