Ed "The Computer Wizard"

I wathched my first DVD rip. I had Hancock so I used a third party program to make a smaller version that I could keep on my USB drive. I don’t remember what profile I chose but I ended up with a 740mb .MKV file. Windows media player and Media Center neither one knew what to do with it. I thought I had installed VLC player, but that was under Windows XP. I need to test that later. I tried to open the file in JetAudio Media Center,and it started right up!

I watched the movie looking for little issues with playback, and found only the slightest hicups. Now what I need to do is see if they are in the same place on VLC playerso I know if it the laptop or the file.

Now, to be fair, I had several apps running (BlogDesk, HappyFish, Opera 10, Ghost, Media Player, several desktop gadgets, etc.) I was using Ghost to extract a few files form my XP Image that is stored on an external USB Hard Drive (100GB, 7200RPM). I am back down to 1GB of ram for reasons I will talk about later, and I still had a great experiance.

More testing starts tomorrow!
