Laptop to TV: What do you need to stream video?

Jennee — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:54:30 GMT

Dear Group, I have looked all over for help on this; I really appreciate any assistance. We are tired of paying $100+ for cable each month, especially when there is so much TV out there that one can stream from the internet (and from Netflix). We are thinking about buying a laptop to do this and our TV has a DVI port. (After a couple of months, we figure that we would have saved enought to buy the laptop). My real question is what do you need in a laptop (graphics card, RAM, etc.) to stream video to your TV (a TV with a DVI port) in order to watch streaming video at a rate and quality that would be comparable to what we see now on digital cable. I don't want to go out a buy a laptop if the quality will be sub-par and this whole idea can't really happen. Also, I know there are adapters out there that convert s-video to DVI (in case your laptop doesn't have a DVI port), but do these adapters affect the quality - would you see any difference than having a DVI to DVI connection? We are thinking about a MacBook...

How To Combine MPG Video Files the Easy Way

Brandon C. — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:02:43 GMT

There comes times that you may want to combine a couple (or more) MPG video files into just one larger file. I had this case come up just recently. I needed to decompile a DVD that I wanted to watch using my thumb drive. Unfortunately, my thumb drive is only 2.0 GB and the movie was over 4. There are several ways to copy a DVD to your computer and I won't get into how to do this now. But, I needed to copy it to my thumb drive in the original VOB structure that the DVD uses instead of one large file. If you are familiar with DVDs and their layout you will know that they usually breakdown the movie into about 1 GB VOB files. At the end of the day, after doing the decompiling, I had all the original VOB files on my computer and , if you didn't know it , a VOB file is the same exact thing as a MPG file just with a different extension. So to "turn" them into MPGs I simply renamed each one of the VOB files to an extension of MPG. Now I had the MPG files I neded...
