I have the day off today so am trying out a couple of SGA vid ideas. Have pretty much given up trying to properly render the SPB vid, though I do try now and again ~ it's very frustrating :/ I kinda got it to save, but it's a version that gives you no details about bit rate or length of vid, and won't rewind or f/forward, it will just play, but it will at least play the whole thing. For example (about the details) on a properly rendered vid that I have saved as a WMV, these are the categories displayed when you hover over with the mouse: Type, File, Duration, Bit Rate, Dimensions, Protected and Size, but with this other version I have so far managed to save all you get is: Type, Dimensions & Size. Also, when you play it as well as not being able to rewind or f/forward, it doesn't tell you the total time if the vid. Trivial things, I suppose. My question is: should I just upload it anyway, and share what I have managed to save, in the hope that one day I will be able to get the damn thing to render properly? It is actually complete, just not renedered properly, I guess.

My TV was returned today, all mended and with a new tube installed :) Actually, it wasn't too bad using The Boy's TV in his bedroom ~ although his TV is small (my now fixed TV is 32") his bed was very comfy and I didn't really mind the small picture.

I had to go shopping this morning, much as I didn't want to leave the house. It's my day off and I would've been perfectly happy to alternate between my computer, my TV and my books :) But I needed coffee and stuff, so had to venture out :( Also ended up buying three bars of Divine FairTrade chocolate (which is gorgeous so go get some) ~ one bar as part of my friends birthday present, one bar for my neglectful geeky elf partner (who forgets where I am alot of the time whilst she over-geeks ~ I know she can't help it so I forgive her :) ~ but she's having a traumatic time so needs supplies) and one bar for me ... in case I accidentally ate one of the first two bars :) Pretty good plan, eh? Of course, it's early in the day yet and there are currently three bars of chocolate sitting on my dining table ...........

Woo for days off! (I have no classes today, yay, though I do have four books to read.) I don't know anything baout vids but I hope your vidding issues work out. SGA vids?! *loves*

And hurrah for the telly being returned. Being a student and without access for quite some time, I miss it less and less, but I imagine not having it around could be stress-inducing. (I'm told, btw, that S2 of Numb3rs is airing in the UK starting from tonight).

Resist! Resist!

I've only made 2 SGA vids so far and numerous SG1 vids, but I think my own favourite that I've made is Allstar, the first SGA vid I made :)

Really? on terrestrial TV? Cos that's all I have ~ no cable, no Channel 5. But anyway, I have all those lovely, lovely episodes and watch them loads!

Resist! Resist!
I'm trying, dammit, but just like on that card it's calling to me ......

*hugs*
