I'm running out of free space on my computer, and I have a lot of music,
video and pictures- but i don't want to delete them. Will they take up less
space if I compress them? Songs are all .mp3, video is all .avi, and pictures
are either .jpg or .gif. I dont know if that matters ...

I've been using my Sony DCR-PC9 without any problems for the past few
years. However, recently my computer stopped detecting my camcorder! I
connect through a FireWire connection. I tested my camcorder and cable
on another computer running XP SP2 and it works perfectly fine.

a .vob file. There are no other files associated with it. (Not that there
wasn't in the beginning, but I've probably deleted ...

when I play .avi files on windows xp (using nero showtime usually) I
notice that the sound progressively goes out of sync with the video,
i.e. it falls behind.
I'm not sure what the problem could be but I'm guessing it's either;

I have a quick question regarding mplayer (Windows). I have a Flash
Video file that is 109 seconds long, and 29.970 fps. From this, I would

run the command:

length or so. when i used the scanner/camera wizard ...

Okay..I've read and read and still not sure whether or not I am able to
transfer vhs tapes to my computer without a lot of other "stuff". As you can
tell this is all new to me! I recently bought a new Hp Media Center comp
a1523w. I have WMM2, Sonic MyDVD Plus, and Muvee Producer ...

I went to the device manager to update the driver for my ATI Radeon 7500 AIW
display adapter.  The current driver is dated in 2003.  The update appeared
to work; however, when I rebooted I get the message that new hardware (?) is
found.  XP does not know what this new HW is.  I ...
