When I decided to convert my old VHS tapes to VCD, I spent DAYS and WEEKS reading this web site. I studied, I shopped for software, I read guides until my head hurt. I got my stuff together to make my first VCD and found that certain combinations of software and media didn't work too well with my set-up. I tried this, and I tried that, and I read some more. I got dark circles under my eyes from no sleep and too much computer time.
At last, I discovered the magic formula, and everything worked like it should; I started making VCDs exactly as I had envisioned. I was so happy; I nearly cried when I made the first really good VCD (at 3:00 a.m. I'm a little emotional). I started producing -- no coasters!!! This was really, really FUN!!! I got more ideas for menus, editing...MORE FUN!! I even ripped a DVD just to see if I could --- REAL FUN!!!![]()
Now I'm up nights and weekends HAVING A LOT OF FUN -- but still no sleep. Will I ever be normal again??

No. But you will get some of it back. Once you learn how to batch process.

Yes, you will sleep again. Until you get a DVD burner and decide you need to move your entire collection to DVD!
Could be worse.... You could be out on the streets at night getting into trouble..Just what is this reality thing anyway? -
Yes, Gees, I am quite excited.
I've worked very hard and it has paid off. I couldn't have done it without this forum. I don't know anyone else who is interested in this sort of thing so I don't get to speak of it.
Dave, I will wait for the DVD burner as I need to sleep (and also save the money for it). -
Well, congratulations, Redeye. Have fun. Do not forget to eat every so often. :c)
I can understand about not being able to tell people. Besides my husband, the rest of my family has no idea what I do. They change the subject soon as I mention DVDs :c).
But you see, my mother still can't set the time on her VCR, so what was I expecting? :cDThere's no place like 127.0.0.1

We'll see you soon with your DVD burner then, when it all starts again (but will be easier, trust me)

I was commenting how it's all old hat to you and many of us. I didn't mean for mine to sound like I was attacking at all. :c)

I got yours as being sarcastic and used yours as a refernce to explain my error. Sorry for misrepresenting...again
But Will has taken a stab at me on at least a couple of occasions and I dont take crap I dont deserve. -
Devanshu: No offense taken.
I wanted to express my happiness at my success. I have no other place to do it but here! :P -
Ha ha. I thought this was a post about your first kid. My answer was going to be "never." Oh well.

I do the same man, it's not a slur, but I don't critisize others for it like you did, although you have since said you omitted a crucial word by mistake.
Please, don't let me give you examples of your silly threads, you'll only do the same to me
Like I say, you've let it go, I've let it go, it's gone.
Alternatively send me PM and we'll swear at each other for five mins, might be a laugh

Now that the two of you have successfully hijacked this topic, are you going to fly it to Cuba or what?
