Matshita DVD-R UJ-845E is the DVD burner in your Mac. It can burn DVD+R blanks, but this does not mean it can burn all DVD+R blanks, it all depends on the manufacture codes in the firmware of the Matshita DVD-R UJ-845E. You'll have to do a search to find the compatibility list of DVD+R media that wi...

As groink says... and after repairing the scratches you should also try ISOBuster. http://www.isobuster.com/ . ISOBuster uses several methods to read data from corrupt discs. It is shareware, but it also has a free mode which you can use for basic file recovery. I just ran into this problem myself a...

In VDub, under file menu, select File Information... look at the Video Stream Data rate value (example 1800kbps). When you select and configure the video codec for full processing, use the same data rate. I assume the audio is set for "source audio", then by using the same video rate as al...

Other fine folks have already mentioned google... Do a search for "multi-wan router" or "multi wan router". You'll find what you are looking for. As for reasonable cost, expect to start at $300 and up for a dual wan router. Maybe you have a spare PC around that you can turn into ...

I don't know much about the m2TV device besides it being only sold in Japan. I don't think you're looking in the correct folder for the captured mpeg files.
Try looking in your main hard drive /Users/[YOUR USER NAME]/Movies/ folder. You have to find the captured video before anything can be done.

I assume you are on Windows platform. TIP: You will not be converting to mp3, you will have better audio quality if you have uncompressed (wav) audio instead. Here's the short instruction: Use Virtualdub-MPEG2 to save the audio to wav. Then you can use Nero or other cd burning app you have, create n...

Don't know what sites you found, but here is a site with a tutorial on how to setup mediatomb on a Mac for PS3.
I don't have a PS3, but I use a media server to play avis on a Mac to a LinkPlayer.
It's very nice to watch stuff without having to burn it to DVD first.

First let me say that I'm not familiar with your software.

I just wanted to ask if you tried to use another mpeg demuxing program and see what happens. Maybe you'll get better results. You can find some mpeg demux programs here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections ... ltiplexers

Try this... make a copy of the file, so you don't work on the original. Change the extension from .wmd to .zip. Example: abc.wmd change to abc.zip. Now use a compression program like winzip to unzip the renamed file. You may find files inside like avi or some other video format.

Hope that helps.

I think the main idea for you is to rip your DVDs to VOB or Mpeg2 format with OSEx or MacTheRipper so that you don't degrade the video quality. VOB / Mpeg2 is the native DVD video format. Encoding to avi will reduce the quality. From there you will need to join and or split (edit) the VOB or Mpeg2 f...

Hi lilswtangel,

You're right about this Shinobi not being part of the other Shinobi movies I mentioned.
After a little more research the four that I mentioned are low budget movies compared
to this new movie. Hope to get Heart Under Blade when it hits the streets, looks
very good.

So is this the 5th in the live action series?

4 other live action Shinobi movies have been released on DVD. Maybe this one will be released on DVD as well.

1st: Shinobi - The Law of Shinobi
2nd: Shinobi - Runaway
3rd: Shinobi - Hidden Techniques
4th: Shinobi - A Way Out
