    Hi.

    A friend of mine got a schematic off of the web for a Pinnacle Moviebox, so he went out and got the components and built it.

    Then I downloaded some movies that aren't released on DVD yet and tried to burn them.

    I wanted to capture some video so I got a copy of Pinnacle Studio (I think its a pirated version) and tried to capture some video of a movie that somebody taped in a movie theater.

    I used a VCR that fell off the back of a truck.


    Then I went and rented some DVD movies from Blockbuster and went home and tried to copy them using 321 Studios DVD X Copy.

    I can't seem to get anything to work. What am I doing wrong?

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My computer is a brand new Gateway. The guy I bought it from at the flea market said he has a "special arrangement" with Gateway to get new 3+ gigahertz computers with at leat 1 Gigabyte of RAM and sell them for $200.00 each.

    Somebody said I'm too gullible. I don't know. What does anybody else think?

    You should install a TK421 upgrade into your new Gateway. The extra 4 quads per channel help with the conversions you want to do.

    I think you paid too much money for that Gateway.
    It doesn't matter who you vote for. The government always gets in.

    Your problem is that you are paying for the electricity you're using to do this.

    Use Google to find out how to use Null Phasing to reduce or eliminate your electric bill, then all your other problems will simply fall into place.

    If not then Feng Shui will solve all your problems.
