Movies & Video's
Yea i'm sure you've noticed a number of movies on web pages on FTP'z and wondered 'how'd they do that?' Well basically as far as i've been told they sit down in the theatre with a camera and record the stuff and then digitise it onto computer and clean it up there or steal the origional copy.
Not much else i can say except that there are most commonly 2 types of video format when down loading ripped vids. VCD and MPEG, MPEG generally tend to be better quality but are huge in size sometimes in the low gigs. VCD's are about 500mb but quality isn't the best. If you ask me i'd rather see the VCD and save myself some time.
You watch movies in Windows Media Player and if it's in MPEG try out full screen and it should stay crisp. Usually the Graphics Card and your processor makes the biggest differnce on your quality.
Yes you can rip DVD movies I've never tried it before but right now I'm looking at an app called DVD Ripper yea u also can convert ISO to MPEG with an app called ISO - MPEG another format I should talk about is called VIVO. It's used much less now a days. I rarley if ever see it, last time I think was for Jerry Springer too hot for T.V. Usually it's run off VIVO Player you'll know it by it's extension just thought i should mention it.
In case you don't know a DVD or digital video disc is the newest advancement in video quality. Both picture and should are a lot sharper and clearer. A friend of mine has a DVD player and in my mind spent way too much for it, anyways, unless you have a DVD burner no you can't burn DVD's the average DVD CD I think is 4GB!! I'm looking at an app called DVD to MPEG, you can guess what it does. Actually I read on a page somewhere that some hackers decipered the DVD code and your could watch it or something. So I'll keep my eyes open and hopefully will be editing this soon.
