NewsThink About it, The Movie on
DVD Copying Is On The Rise

Posted 07/13/2008 at 09:24:40am

Think About it, The Movie Industry Makes back most if not all of the money from Theaters ticket sales.  The movie studios have started a new feature for DVDs that they call "Digital Copy".  Digital Copy is a MP4 version on the Disc; you can copy it to your iPod with no problems.  It does save allot of time encoding.

As for the transition from VHS to DVD I can understand the price difference, because DVDs had far superior Quality.  But the transition from DVD to Blu-ray isn't going to satisfy the price.  One it is too expensive.  Two, Sony is stupid because if I don't have an HDTV why would I buy Blu-ray? The elderly have DVD players, because it isn’t HD.  They aren’t going to buy a $1,000+ HDTV and a $500 Blu-Ray Player, with their only income from social security.  So if the blu-ray sales aren't going well, it’s not because no one likes it.  It is because not everyone has a HDTV.

As for the Rental DVD coping, I do it.  Why? Because I am already paying something for it.  People do it all of the time.  I get some Pre Release DVDs from my uncle, and copy them as well.  The whole thing is why I should have to pay $40 a movie if I am going to watch it once or twice.

Add RAM, Lose Your Display?

I had the same problem, but the what i did to solve it was swaping the memory banks.  i had two slots, slot one had 256MB DDR2 and slot 2 had nothing.  when i added a 1GB DDR2 stick to the slot 2, the screen went Blank when Booting up.  i Swaped the memory to have in slot 1 (1GB) and slot 2 (256MB).  It seams that you have to put the higher memory Size in Slot 1.  Note: ram added was the same Clock Speed.
