The picture quality looks pretty crap anyway, so it's not like it's gonna get any better. Actually, out of interest, I just tested it out and I got it down to an acceptable size to burn to a single-layer DVD. That was re-authoring and only keeping AC3 5.1 English sound, and 90% picture quality. Not bad.

    I've tried doing it before and I got it to 4.6GB - remembering, blank DVDs (single-sided) are only 4.35GB in total, 4.7GB they never have been. Take 7% off physical storage sizes, always, and you'll get the true amount - this is why you only usually get 143-146GB on a 160GB hard drive. So really, it's kind of misleading.

    In Shrink, you go to Edit > Preferences > Output Files and tick the boxes called "Split files into 1GB chunks (recommended)" and "Logical remapping of enabled streams". That should fix the one-large VOB issue.

    Aye, I love the paper-cup walkie talkies. And you can even colour them so they look like they have different skins - what a concept.


    Drew, you truly are awesome. I'll check this out!

    You have to buy a software update, when the last seven years have been free?

    Cough *bullshit* cough.

    Yes, it is. This one was $10, while the January one was $20. The good part is, that there are alot of apps that are free.
  5. Bit rich for an update. Anyway, it's done now.

    The apps should be free - pity they're not open-source, otherwise we could have some real fun. I'm thinking of getting a touch with my next pay because I'm certainly not up to paying $69 per month over 24 months on a contract for a phone - I hate the way the classic works. What size in GB is your one? I'm thinking 16GB (32GB is a little much) plus it's $300 cheaper to boot.

    The Apple.com.au site says 8GB $399, 16GB $499 and 32GB $629!

    I never saw that - sorry Ali. Anyway, the SEs are not bad. I had one but I broke the little toggle for it and cracked the screen.

    I found the W910 - damn that's an ugly little number. Anyway, here's the specs on it:

    Shake-control to change the song (because that's what we all need).
    2.6inch touchscreen QVGA resolution and 262,000 colours
    3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus
    Wireless LAN, 3G, no HSDPA
    Makes phone calls
    Probably priced at around 700 euros (wow)
  6. Amazon Link
    Doesn't look so pricey! But it doesn't seem to have 3G either...are we talking about the same phone here?!

    If it wasn't so squashed into the bottom, I'd say it looks pretty cool. Just that part, though.

    My old one actually cracked open on the flip-part, meaning it always falls down and shuts by itself (next to the camera on the hinged part). So I've got this thing where anything I get (electronic, of course) has to be just one thing, rather than flipping, sliding...whatever, because I'm bound to break it. Not out of anger, but just carelessness.

    Maybe I should get a paper cup setup like Harry was talking about...but then they break easily too.

    I know it's £5.99. But it's just made a fricking awesome thing even better still. Well worth it.

    There's an app callled Remote that let's you control your iTunes from anywhere in the house via the iPod and Wi-Fi. So, so cool.


  11. Well, I finally got one.

    It's








    AMAZING!!!!!!!!
