    Standalone DVD players play a format called "DVD Video". Yes, this is actually the name of the format. You will never have trouble remembering that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_Video Now, specifically, this means that the video must be MPEG2 and the audio is usually AC3. The container...

    Where can I download a decent, easy to use DVD burning software..free...

    inb4 the "DVD software" bots FAVC: http://favcfavc.googlepages.com FAVC automates the encoding process which means that, unless you actually know what you're doing and want control over the process, you don't have to do anything at all other than be able to hit a big "Start" button. If you...

    Will Peerguardian2 hide my IP for bittorrent?

    No, it doesn't even purport to do that. PeerGuardian is just a list management system that takes your blocklists that you may already be using and blocks all addresses on those lists. It also provides an interface through which you can update the lists and choose individual addresses that...

    What is a good, free DVD ripper?

    Gordian Knot, if you happen to use Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gordianknot/ DVD ripping software is perfectly legal. Don't listen to people who tell you otherwise.

    File conversion .mkv to divx?

    MVK is a container which can contain all sorts of different video types, such as H.264 or DivX/XviD. It can also contain audio streams. If you transcode the video, then you're not doing anything to the audio at all, so the audio will not only not change in quality, in won't change at all since...

    Ubuntu bittorrent client?

    I use rtorrent. Deluge, however, is an excellent client based on libtorrent with a very nice GUI. This is my second choice. You can get it here: http://deluge-torrent.org There's even a patch available for Deluge to display RDNS in the peers list, which, on any OS, is my most strongly...

    How do I make a high quality DivX/Xvid DVD rip?

    I really appreciate the thought and effort you put into writing a detailed and specific question. I can't tell you how many times someone writes a question that simply reads something like "How do I burn a DVD to my computer?", which as you can imagine, is difficult to address. When I answer...

    Why did my BitTorrent download slow down, and how do I speed it back up?

    Why on earth would you turn your firewall off? There's no possible way that we can answer your question if you don't give us details. And even then, it's all dependent on what sort of peers you're connected to. Have you properly forwarded the port(s) in your router? Are you using a banned...

    Bittorrent no incoming connections?

    I hate it when people write the word as "sawy" also. Port 57426 is fine. Opening another port won't help, especially not 6881, since there's a small chance that your ISP may actually block that port. Yes, you're correct that your router performs network address translation (NAT). You imply...

    I don't know how to download torrents!?

    And explain to me why you couldn't have googled it? This is the kind of question that does not require a human to answer. I will paste what I wrote for the last person who asked this, since there's no need for me to waste the effort it would take to type it out a second time. First off, don't...
