New Poll Ideas

[Baldrick]

Hey TPGO, what about:

'my favourite moderator is...'

It's potentially controversial and it allows you to include an option related to yourself

what about:

'my favourite administrator is...'

[tgpo]

'my favourite administrator is...'

1. Baldrick
2. Owner of Vcdhelp.us
3. tgpo should be one

[q1aqza]

How about a poll of the best tgpo poll

[Craig Tucker]

How about a Poll

Do you vote in polls.

1. Yes
2. No

Should be quite a 1 sided vote :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

[macleod]

I mentioned this in passing while doing another poll (my favorite administrator), but wanted to put it here as well....

How about a poll for the people with avatars to explain the significance of them. Or a combination of their avatar and user name.

Mine is macleod, and if no one guessed it, it is because I am a HUGE highlander fan.

Your eating habits are best described as:

f. Pizza
g. tgpo's Cannibal Diner (so that's why his avatar has no flesh...)

[Will Hay]

How about:

I Own CCE

1. Because it's really worth spending $2000 to backup my own DVDs
2. Because it's really worth spending $2000 to backup Blockbuster's DVDs
2. Because my company bought it for me
3. I pretend I bought it just to appease the Moderators

LOL!
Best one yet.
Please, please, please moderator-people

I was writing some comments in another forum and though I'd pass it along here. We all have stories about rebates. Maybe a poll to see which company stinks at doing rebates (always trying to screw you over). Its a toss up between Office Max and Compusa. Figured would use stores vs. individual vendors.

[tgpo]

I bought a cd-rom drive with a mail in rebate. THe company never sent it to me, but Circuit City gave it to me, in cash. In the end they paid me $9.99 to take the cd-rom from them . I never did get the company's rebate.

[dphirschler]

3

[Will Hay]

Just a thought

This one should stir up controversy and should be interesting for movie fans everywhere:

Back in 1985, when you watched Back to the Future in the movie theater, did you see "To Be Continued" at the ending?

1. Yes, I remember it clearly just like yesterday.
2. No, um ... I mean no.
3. I don't recall but I'm pissed that they took it out of the recent dvd.

[tgpo]

According to imdb.com there were never there. They were only added to the vhs copies..... I like questions like this....keep em' coming.

DVD also cuts out the "To Be Continued..." at the end (which had been added to the VHS version)

[DEmberton]

Here's my suggestion:

How long does it usually take you to get the shrink wrapping off a CDR?

1. 5 seconds or less.
2. Between 5 seconds and 30 seconds
3. Between 30 seconds and 1 minute
4. Between 1 minute and 3 minutes
5. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

:P

Never! Did you get this idea from the slashdot poll?

Can you still try this poll anyway. I am curious of the results.

In one of the forums someone asked what type of pens people used to label their discs. It got quite the response...sharpie, staedtler lumocolor etc. Is it Poll worthy?

Give me more 'real' options. I just use a sharpie, and I can think of many funny ones, but I need as many "real" options as you can think of.

For crying out loud, where's the fun/interest in that?

I thought this was interesting: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=145831
Esp. the labels vs. markers debate.

TGPO,
How would you go about starting a poll to see who uses what for VCD-SVCD, with what processor, and a particular package ( conversion), with a particular movie DVD? It would have to be the same DVD, as it wouldn't mean much if you did a 4 hour movie and I did a 2 hour movie, and others did something totally different.
I've been using DVDx and getting fair results, with about a 5-6 hour, from the disk, render time, SVCD, defaults for almost all.
Personally, I'd suggest Harry Potter, as anyone who has kids probably has the DVD, besides which, I like the movie.
Things are too complicated to setup in some of the packages in the guides on the site. Also some of the integrated packages, Gordian Knot, etc.
Are there settings in DVDx that would speed things up, and still, or, maybe give better output than my defaults?
I would like to know if my render times are adequate, or if I'm going thru a whole bunch of motions that cause me to fall asleep half way thru.
I'd be grateful if you could advise.
George
BTW; A sharpie has never spun off any of my disks at 48X, so that's my vote.
