By Searching This Site I Get Answers To...

[tgpo]

I've kinda got down what I need to do to backup my movies, so I don't really search.

I'd say about 75%, because most of the problems that people are having, someone else has already gone through it and it has been discussed here on the site (with the exception of new programs that are constantly coming out). But I would also say that sometimes it seems that you cant find out the answer by doing a search and have to open up a new topic.

Any way " I love this place, Man."

99% because I know how to search. Noobs don't know how to search, as indicated by the plethora of posts that go:

"HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!! How do I take this movie, yaceeeee, that I downloaded of Kazaa (which is righteous dude!) and put it on a DVD so I can watch it at my moms house this weekend?"

"bump"

"Bump"

"Pleeeeeeeases!!!!!!!"..........

Unless it's about the latest 3rd party DVDR firmware update, everything has been answered and guided to death. Probably only the Linux forum has valid new questions on it. These are the same people that searched *.avi on Gnuttella and didn't understand why they didn't find waht they were looking for.

I know after pressing the NEW TOPIC button you can see the forum rules and the advice to do a serch but it would be more effective if a POP-UP window came up with all these above and you had to click yes.
At least for members with less than 30 (or something) posts.

What do you mods think?

[MOVIEGEEK]

Ahhh...more newbies would use the search funtion if it worked(HINT,HINT),search sends you to Google for answers.

[FOO]

The members with less than 30 posts are OK.
The problem is the members with less than 30 I.Q.

[AngusMacGyver]

The true is I got answers to all my questions. If not directly, at least in someway I could solve my problems with forums/guide help. And I think I could contribute to solve some problems too.

DK = Distributed Knowledge.

Another poll without the choice I want, or the question I am afraid to ask. I want to know if Tgpo can reproduce. If he cannot, I would feel relieved. If he can...

The horror, the horror. -- Apocalypse Now

[tgpo]

Yes I can. And plan too in the late future. The plan right now is to graduate, marry Evonne, Get a better job, she graduates, then see where life takes us from there.

[racer-x]

I've only posted one question (my 1st post), the rest were all replies. I love reading the posts, because I find answers to questions I have'nt thought of yet. It also helps me keep up with new software and stuff.

[EddyH]

oop, make that one less for 25% and one more for 75%... misread the question as "how many answered by asking"

always worth having a look at the stuff in the sidebar first (call me hypocrite if you like tho)... has the search been re-enabled yet?

[hootie29]

I read the forum a few months before I joined and I do use the search feature it is a helpful tool. I have never asked a question in here, but that doesn't mean I know everything. When I started converting home movies old 8mm's and VHS to DVD half the fun was doing the research and solving the problems myself.

[The village idiot]

If you guys can't find TGPOrn, you are looking in the wrong places.

I just quit answering the " I want to capture TV on my computer... what do I need?" Would you like my to buy all the stuff, and then come over to your house and set it up too?

And the " I just downloaded this AVI and the sound is all messed up, and video keeps sticking" Answer to this one is always... Well DUH! Download the mpeg next time!

Though the search being dead does make it hard to be rude to these people.

Had to quote you. That's the spirit! You'll get along well here! Welcome aboard

BTW: figured out another way to stuff the ballot box

[i_am_dave]

I chose 75%, but it is really somewhere around 90%. Most of the time, when I do have to ask, someone comes back with the answer.
At least no-one has flamed me for asking something stupid!

I'm NOT a mod but, that sounds great.

[vitualis]

I hate pop ups. They are an evil evil creation.

Though I see your point tompika, the system may fail if people use anti-popup proggies. I can see the situation where I get half a dozen PMs every day from newbie members asking why the "forum doesn't work"...

Regards.

[Faustus]

About 90% of my questions are answered, or at least discussed enough to give me clues.

As far the the popup. I can only thing of one forum that has useful popups and its arstechnica, and I HATE it. I vote not to popups, and yes to roving gangs of murder robots.

[vitualis]

...and yes to roving gangs of murder robots.

I thought we agreed not to reveal the system until it was out of prototype!

... in case anyone was wondering what happened to Gina and Hot_Crissy...

I just wondered if you know of a guide that works when you want to convert an .avi with .ac3 to DVD-R which keeps the ac3 sound intact. Cos I've tried the search facility & posted requests but not got anything that works back. I don't think there is one out there yet? [/quote]

By me a beer and I'll tell you where this guide is

I've already tried to follow this guide but came to a grinding halt when I could not get Besliced to work!!!

Everytime I dropped the ac3 file into Besliced I got a pop-up notepad window with a blank page & flashing cursor

Any ideas on what to do ? i did post a cry for help at the time but never managed to work it out !!

Here's what we moderators see on the forum...



The right most icon (green) removes all warnings.
One to the left (yellow) gives a user a warning.
One further (red) instantly bans a user.
The left most icon (also red), sends out the killer robots...

Regards.
