  4. Re:Music's dead? on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    Labels form and they search for talented, undiscovered acts to sign that while they may already be popular in their own sense

    No they dont - they search for "musicians" that they can use as a marketable commodity that they can control to make money

  12. Re:Yes on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    Crap

  13. Re:Concentrate on the VHS player on The Best VHS Capture System Using Free Software? · · Score: 1

    I have an gui application which among other things does this see http://www.redtux.org.uk/cgi-bin/burn_360.pl.

    Points to bear in mind (most of which my app does automatically)

    using vcr_hack makes a big difference
    as said above VCR player/tape quality is crucial
    often you will get better quality captures by encoding on the fly rather than encoding losslessly. This is because you will get more issues with pci hd bus bandwith than cpu use. I find ffmpeg native codec works fairly well. Dont get perfection but pretty good.

  21. Re:Chunky == blech! on GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo · · Score: 2, Informative

  22. Re:Not true. Move on. on The Future Is Open: The OpenDocument Format · · Score: 1
