My computer tends to restart itself while watching various .flv files from local HDD. I tried several players - BS Player, VLC, SMplayer (based on the Mplayer). Usually happens while I fast forward/rewind the file.

Does anyone have an idea what might be the cause?
Thank you,

I found it in a box and can't find anything that it might fit.

Thanks! :confused: ]]> General talk caper04 http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4937 Is it legal to rip a DVD that I own? http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4924&goto=newpost Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:02:31 GMT Now more and more people want to make a copy of media they owns for their own personal use. But, is it legal to rip a DVD that you own? I don't give my opinion , let's just hear what people say.

1. I backup my DVDs. I used my hard-earned money to purchase it, so I see no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to make a backup copy of it.

2. By the spirit of the law (IMO) you can strip off the copy protection and make a "not unreasonable" number of copies for personal use. That means (for example) you could copy a DVD to play in your car's DVD player so the kids don't scratch up the original, and copy it to your iPod so you can watch it on the train, but you can't give, sell, or otherwise distribute the copies to anyone

3. I'd say you are safe to back them up, so long as you do not try to share or distribute them in any manner. No judge in their right mind would charge you with copyright infringement if you owned the originals and were only using the backups for personal use. ]]> General talk Ricky03 http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4924 Cheers to be in http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4901&goto=newpost Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:57:59 GMT hi, guys, failed to register last time, but cheers to join today.:) hi, guys, failed to register last time, but cheers to join today.:) ]]> General talk huazai http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4901 How to transfer SMS from your Windows Mobile Phone to PC? http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4874&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:28:13 GMT How to transfer SMS from your Windows Mobile Phone to PC?

What do you think which is the most important mistake in trading that we should avoid among these.

1. Trading with money you can't afford to lose
2. The need to be "certain"
3. Words that will kill you! HOPE---WISH---PRAY
4. Not Acting on your plan
5. Not knowing how to get out of a losing trade
6. Having an ego
7. Falling in love with a sector or script

If yes, which one? http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4752&goto=newpost Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:20:24 GMT I've noticed that the newest MS Zune player supports HD Radio. So what is HD radio?
Quote:
HD Radio technology is a system used by AM and FM radio stations to digitally transmit audio and data in conjunction with their analog signals. While it does allow for an all-digital mode, this system currently is used by some AM and FM radio stations to simulcast both digital and analog audio within the same channel (a hybridized digital-analog signal) as well as add new FM channels and text information. Although HD Radio broadcasting's content is currently subscription-free, listeners must purchase new receivers in order to receive the digital portion of the signal.
I thought I would need to switch from FM broadcasts to HD radio like I switched from analog TV to HDTV. HD Radio is the only digital system in the U.S. approved by FCC for digital AM/FM broadcasts. But there are only 1900+ HD radio stations in the U.S. But the major factor of not using it is that the difference between analog FM broadcasts and HD radio is not that significant compared to a huge leap in quality when switching from SDTV to HDTV. I wish HD radio was still called Hybrid Digital radio.

Bottom line: I don't want to use the HD radio. It doesn't seem to be worth to buy an expensive device with HD radio support.
IMHO HD radio in Zune players is as useless as a low quality video camera in the 5th generation of iPod Nano.

What I really like to see is Wi-Max networks and zillions of gadgets supporting these networks. This woul allow to listen to online radio stations, watch online TV, surf the net, make cheap international phone calls,... ]]> General talk Stream Recorder http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4752 <![CDATA[How to control 2-512 computers from a single monitor, keyboard & mouse]]> http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4740&goto=newpost Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:28 GMT *A KVM switch* (with KVM being an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video or Visual Display Unit, Mouse) is *a hardware device that allows a user to control... A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video or Visual Display Unit, Mouse) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse.

Although multiple computers are connected to the KVM, typically a smaller number of computers can be controlled at any given time. Modern devices have also added the ability to share USB devices and speakers with multiple computers.

Some KVM switches can also function in reverse - that is, a single PC can be connected to multiple monitors, keyboards, and mice. While not as common as the former, this configuration is useful when the operator wants to access a single computer from two or more (usually close) locations - for example, a public kiosk machine that also has a staff maintenance interface behind the counter, or a home office computer that doubles as a home theater PC.

A user connects a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the KVM switch, then uses special cables (generally USB and VGA ) to connect the KVM device to the computers. Control is switched from one computer to another by the use of a switch or buttons on the KVM device, with the KVM passing the signals between the computers and the keyboard, mouse and monitor depending on which computer is currently selected. Most electronic devices also allow control to be switched through keyboard commands (such as hitting a certain key, often Scroll Lock, rapidly two or three times).

You can connect from 2 to 512 computers to a single KVM switch.



A KVM switch is useful where there are multiple computers, but no need for a dedicated keyboard, monitor and mouse for each one. They are frequently used in data centers where multiple servers are placed in a single rack with a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. A KVM switch then allows data center personnel to connect to any server in the rack. A common example of home use is to enable the use of the full-size keyboard, mouse and monitor of the home PC with a portable device such as a laptop, tablet PC or PDA or a computer using a different OS, such as a Macintosh.

Local remote KVM device design allows users to control computer equipment up to 1000 feet (300 m) away from the user consoles (keyboard, monitor and mouse). KVM over IP devices use a dedicated microcontroller and potentially specialized video capture hardware to capture the video, keyboard, and mouse signals, compress and convert them into packets, and send them over an Ethernet link to a remote console application that unpacks and reconstitutes the dynamic graphical image.

Your keyboard and mouse can be connected via USB or PS2 ports. Most modern mice and keyboards use USB interface. The drawback of using USB is that when you have a problem with your computer, PS2 is more reliable way of using your mouse or keyboard, it usually works fine even if you need to access your BIOS or when you boot into safe mode. So I recommend to buy a PS2 KVM switch. ]]> General talk any ANONYMOUS forum user http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4740
