1. I was about to suggest that (let it run till battery is empty).


    Busy with installing my new laptop. Looks awesome, but it is a big beast
  2. And now it's my computer acting up ¬¬ Doesn't recognise RAM memory and turns off / restarts when Windows loading screen appears. Fuck

  3. Sorry, Chris. I was horribly unclear in my original response. Yes, the screen is cut off, not squeezed. The weird thing is, I ripped the bonus features from the exact same disc, with the exact same settings, and they came in as widescreen. I don't get it. I tried to rip it a couple of times, and no matter what I did, it still ripped as 4x3 (standard) instead of widescreen. Anyways, here's the screenshot of my rip from the credits of the feature:

  4. I dont have a clue :/ If it were squeezed I might have known but now ...

    Try another app is all i can up with now
  5. Have you tried setting the picture settings manually?
  6. Jeremy, does the movie look fine (eg. no squeezing, no cut-off) when played on a standard dvd? I have a few faulty DVDs where the main title looks cut or squeezed but the extras look fine.
  7. My new computer is amazing. Effectively starts up in 55 seconds, shuts off in 15 seconds since I press the power button - no matter what's been opened or is running. It may not be light-fast for some of you geeks, but it's surely miles better than I'm used to It's got Windows XP on the main partition (it came with it) and I've installed Linuk Ubuntu 12.04 on the other, smaller one. I'm thinking of not upgrading to Windows 7 since I don't really care about the nicer look, and I have (surprisingly) found myself not lacking any of its special features... Let's see.
  8. I really cant use XP anymore with the old taskbar and terrible start menu. Also docking windows using the win+arrow keys i really need.
  9. Yeah, the W+up/down/left/right shortcut is what I probably miss the most... Although I was searching yesterday and I found a few programs that can implement that feature onto XP too! For example, http://tweaks.com/windows/39427/window-snapping-for-windows-vista-and-xp/ ... Thinking of what to do, though. The thing that puts me back the most about upgrading to 7 is re-installing everything (Office, Nero, iTunes, browsers, etc) and re-customizing it I HATE that.
  10. I understand


  11. I tried this, but it still cut off. Maybe I am not setting the right dimensions. Can you offer me some dimensions? (Sorry, this is a bit over my head!)

    Yeah, when I watched in on the computer, it definitely played the film in widescreen. That's the real head-scratcher here. I'm at a loss of what to do. I've exclusively used handbrake, so I don't even know what other programs to use (Mac OSX)
  12. If you have the original already, I'd save time and download a copy.
