Need Help
 

Not long ago someone posted a link to a free scriptwriting website (I believe that it was ShankS)

At the time I just sort of glanced at it, but now Id be interested in trying it out. Anyone have the link? I couldnt remember what thread it was posted in...

*BUMP**Bump*

Is this it?

Heheh....thanks for the thought, but methinks I should clarify what Im looking for:

The site was for screenwriting...it was free software you could use to properly write/format a script. NOT the kind of script you're thinking of Angra, though its an understandable mistake:p

Well, in THAT case...... Goodnight.

Nobody?

Sorry to keep bumping my own thread, but Id like to find the site tonight for something Im working on...

Are you looking for a free program?

If so, try Celtx. It's awesome.

PC help
 

Hey folks, this one should be simple...
Dvd burner's playing up. Burning has never been a problem with NERO for me, but now when I burn stuff, for some reason even when there's nothing wrong with the avi files and THEY play fine, after I've burned it for the last couple of times, the videos play, but every second or two they stop for a split second, just tiny enough to notice.
Anyways, I've been told two things that might help.
1: Get new drivers (I'll hit up sony online and do that)
2: Clear my "swapfile/s"?
The second one I'll need help on...I don't need to know what it means, just how to do what he said without fucking up my pc in any way. So yeah, how do I clear swapfile/s?

Also, open to any other suggestions about what the prob might be, or alternative (preferably free) dvd burning software...
THANKS in advance.

if your making copies of something I suggest DVD Shrink. as for your problem I am really unsure of what needs to be done. I have had problems with my movies in the past too but the problem was caused by me doing stuff on my computer while burning. they would always skip and such. what version of Nero do you have?

If you haven't been haveing this problem in the past then maybe the drive is just ko'd. get a new one!

Just managed to burn off something that turned out fine...
I basically can't run ANYTHING else while burning though, unless I want to fuck up the copy. I guess the pc's getting a little old.
This kinda shit makes me real thirsty for a new one.

Anyways, defragging now too, which I normally do on at least a weekly basis...but since returning, the incoming file traffic and changes have been quite heavy, so it built up a lot...

Defragging, please explain?

I use Convertxtodvd.

Sure it takes a helluva time, but the dvd´s works after that.

Er...ok, I'll try.
Whenever you move around files, load or download new files or programs, burn off or uninstall stuff...etc...it's like little peices of the files become left behind = fragmentation. Not so much things that the files require to run, more like dust on a bookshelf kinda thing.
The more of this stuff, the slower programs run...etc...so, you use "disk defragmenter" to fix it. Using search on your pc should find it, most pcs have it standard. Run it through, and analyse. Red = bad.

to elaborate on what phalanx said, things run slwoer because even though browsing through explorer, two files a program uses appear to be sitting right next to each other, in reality, they can be scattered about the physical hard drive, making the program work harder, since the operating system has to skip back and forth to run the program.

think of your hard drive as a book, and the files are all pages. A fragmented drive will have pages scattered all over the place. So say you are trying to read chapter 2, and you have to go to page 3, then 33, then 400, then 10, then 1000, then back to 11... you get the idea. Defragging makes it so chapter 3 is normal, you go from ,say, page 20, to 21 to 22 to 23, etc.

I was just going to the say the same thing. Do a scan disk, disk clean up and a defrag(You should do them all in this order) and it should work fine afterwards. My PC does the same thing if I don't defrag regularly.

I also don't do anything else while burning CDs, other programs running will slow it down and cause burning problems.

Also, with NERO, make sure you turn on buffer underrun protection.

converting
 

Does anyone know of a free software download that can convert video clips (like my movie trailers and stuff) to a video ipod format? I had one before but forgot the name.

depends on what file youre starting off with. probably an mpeg. you need to convert it to a mp4 for it to work on an ipod. seach mpeg to mp4 converter on google.

i thought this thread was about you converting religions.:)

sorry man, dont know about that.

Haha, I did too. Strange....

Handbrake will convert DVD to MPEG4 (ie for iPod)

http://handbrake.m0k.org/

Videora iPod Converter will convert other video files to iPod

http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

If you got Nero Recode, it will do a damn good job of converting any video file format to iPod.

Good Animation Program?
 

im not sure if the thread would go here,.....i was wondering if anyone knew of a good animation program i can download?
i remember having one that came with my computer, but i cant remember the name. it was real easy, it would show each frame next to eachother and i could add text or whatever.

I don't know what your looking to do, but Macromedia Flash.

i want to make simple animations, like my dancing bananna.

or like some of these gif.'s members have for avatars.

flash will do the trick for you.

where do you get it from?

i tried download.com but it asked me what program i wanted, out of like thirty...i didnt know which one it was.

i still havent got one yet.

flash costs a shitload. i think its around $500. you can always download it from Limewire, but you can expect FBI at your doorstep the next day.

"get" yourself a copy of paintshop pro 9, it comes with animation shop for gif files :cool:

thanks alot, right now i have paint.net......it says i could do animations too but i would have to save each picture and then load it into a movie maker i guess.

thats takes too long, the one that came with my dell windows millenium edition was perfect. i didnt have to save any pictures, just draw straight onto each frames and press play.

thanks though for the help.

I've been doing this for awhile, I mean I've had a friend doing it and the feds aren't knocking yet. Hold on someones at my door :D

Jasc software animation shop

(From the same folks that make paint shop pro)

yups..i used paint shop pro and micromedia.

thank heavens we dont have FBI in NZ..

'oh shit..!!black helicopter overhead'

i just downloaded it, and it looks complicated as hell.
all i know how to do is open a picture file.

to the left..there should be an instructional section as to how to use it

Check this site out http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Paint-Shop-Pro/1 I use this for photoshop. I think you have to register (it's free) this is a good site that will teach you how to use Paintshop.

Edit: Sorry I mis-read, I thought you downloaded paintshop. Just do a google search for tutorial's using that program, if it comes to it.
