TravelRe: Nairobi Photos (kenya): A Beautiful East African City by TmeD0(m): 9:05pm On Jun 18, 2009
Wow, so much jealousy in this thread. This is the travel forum, where does it say in the forum rules that people can't post pictures of places in the world? Where? Huh

All of these negative comments are so unnecessary, if you don't like the thread, don't click on it. Simple as that. Some of you really need to grow the f.uck up, especially you OmoNaijaUK.
dude, you're missing the point here.  no one is jealous of mwa's pictures of his beautiful city. 

what i'm saying is that posting all these images here is simply a waste of thread space and quite frankly, is not serving him any purpose posting them here.

like i stated earlier, if he wants to showcase his beautiful city, he can easily do that by creating a website for that. . .there are tons of free ones out there. 

any sensible person will tell you that this is simply a waste of thread space that could be used for more meaningful purpose. 

besides, this is becoming an overkill, which at the end of the day defeats the purpose.  have a gr8 day!  Peace!

Dont misunderstand me. Just talking in general terms. Beating up someone for breach of contract is not exactly civilised.
well, pardon me if i misunderstood your remarks but i don't think i took your remarks out of context when you said this: [quote][/quote]Jim is a hell of an actor. But from what I hear, he needs lessons in humility. 

was i wrong to believe you meant he deserved to be assaulted? 

at any rate, no yawa, at least we both agree he didn't deserve to be treated that way. 

in fact, nobody (regardless of your societal status) deserves to be treated the way he was treated.

I bought a MEDION 360gigabyte DVD recorder from Hamburg last year and it can handle it. This is how it works: You need to play the cassette with a VHS player and have it plugged in to the DVD recorder with an empty disc in it so, as it plays on the VHS it transmits to the disc in the DVD recorder, I bought it 245euro last year.
glad that works for you but last time i checked 254Euro is equivalent to $340 or N50,000, ouch! 

i'm not sure OP is willing to dish out that amount of money (I know baba ijebu won't  grin) when she can easily get it done herself for less than [url=http://www.provantage.com/kworld-kw-usb2800d~7KWRD003.htm]$50[/url].

did some of you paranoias think for a second that the CIA will never send a Caucasian to come and spy in an all black country?  come on now, that one no even require common sense (wey in most cases, no too common sef).  

if the the CIA wants to send a spy or spies to naija, the obvious thing to do is use agents that are proficient in at least one naija language.

abeg, make una re n'le with all of una conspiracy theory o jare. . .like someone suggested, this could be a marketing strategy to penetrate the naija beef industry.  

by the way, the spies wey some of una dey holla fit dey enter the same taxi or danfo with una everyday and you won't know it.

@missojugo, what you're trying to do is not impossible and you can do it by yourself contrary to what some are telling you.

having said that, let me try as much as possible to explain the process to you in a simplified manner.  to accomplish the task, you'll need:

1. the necessary hardware (some have mentioned it already) like kworld's DVD Maker USB 2.0  to transmit signal between your computer and the video source (in your case, your VCR), which in most cases is a video capture card or a tv tuner card.

2. a free light-weight software like Debut to capture the video to be saved to your hard drive.

3. another free software like DVDforger to author your saved video into a DVD format.

please note that in no way am i advocating the above h/w and s/w, i only referenced them based on my personal experience using them. the only thing that will cost you is the h/w. there might be other good ones (USB-based in particular) out there but i can speak of the one i've been using for about 5 years now.

i presume you're in the states, if so, you shouldn't have a hard time locating a video capture card to use. 

i specifically use the USB one because of the flexibility it affords you especially if you're using a notebook (which is usually the best cause of the mobility it provides).

when you get the hardware and software, everything else is self explanatory but if you have any questions, go ahead and post it here. 

just some hints to save you some headache and most importantly time:

if you decide to use Debut for your video capture, use the options tab to select either avi (i prefer this one though) or mpg or mpeg file format.  and if you use avi, make sure to change the audio bitrate from xxxx MONO to say, 44kHz, 112 - 128 (select within this range  but i stay with 128, which is the normal CD audio quality) STEREO.

also, if you want to use DVDforger for authoring the DVD, the default region setting is PAL.

and since you want to play the DVD in Nigeria, you won't need to change the regional settings.  hope this helps and good luck. Peace!

**oh, on a side-note, if the DVD player you'll be playing the video on is Divx certified, then you can skip the authoring part (step 3) and just burn the file on the disc as a data file.**

TV/MoviesRe: Jim Iyke Beaten Blue Black On Set In Katsina by TmeD0(m): 5:36pm On Jun 17, 2009
while i'm not an avid fan of Jim Iyke (personally, i think he's over-rated but that's another story), what was done to him clearly shows part of what's wrong with naija.

the article clearly states that he did his part the entire three days as stipulated in his contract.  if the inept producers had planned accordingly, i'm sure he would have been able to complete his part within the three-day contractual period.  

so, for them to hold that against him is IMO in violation of the contract.  i know the article claimed he was offered additional sum of money but it doesn't say anything about extending or revising the terms of the contract.

who knows, they probably offered him the money orally and he refused (i know i would too).  does that make him greedy? absolutely not! business is business, period!

to condone what was done to this guy because of of his personal lifestyle i.e arrogance (like some people say), bad boy attitude (as reported by the media), and so on
is the other part of what's wrong with naija.  

personal feelings aside, this could happen to anyone of us or our relative and i'm sure we won't find it funny then.  let's try to always look at issues subjectively without injecting our personal feelings and emotions into it but until then, we will never progress as a nation.  Peace!

  I thought when God created Man, he put our brains in the head, why is your own in your intestine? Obviously you don't know how to construct simple sentence and you also lack when he comes to explaining things to people through writing. When you typed your stupid comment, didn't your brain tell you that not everyone watched the match on ait, secondly you didn't even write anything to differentiate between siasia that was sitting in a studio and an amodu that was sitting in the stadium where the matches took place. Oh I forget your brain was too far in your intestine to consult.

First of all Siasia was commanding the show on the pitch, now it is a case of commanding it from local station.

Siasia should take credit for the France game but not for the Kenya game.

So Mourinho should take credit for Guus Hindinks achievement at Chelsea because most of the players are his boys?

Honestly, this thought and thinking is just too moronic for me. And the realisation that this guy has a right to vote is giving me belly aches?

this is simply a waste of thread space. 

if you want to showcase your city why not create a site for that (in case you're not aware, there are tons of free ones u can use) rather than
continue wasting some thread space that could be used for meaningful discussion.

ComputersRe: Pls Help My Cd Rom Can't Read Dvd Plates. by TmeD0(m): 12:57am On Jun 09, 2009
not necessarily true because OP stated that it can read CDs.  if he has a CD ROM or CD RW drive (which i'm betting it is) and trying to read a DVD media from it, obviously it's not going work. 

in that case, it's no fault of the optical drive but OP's. 

on the other hand, if he in fact has a DVD ROM or DVD RW drive and still can't read a DVD media (which sound strange to me cause one would think it wouldn't be able to read any media period), i'd try a firmware update first before opting for a replacement.

@ OP, dude,  if your network admin is restricting what you can do and not do, i'm sure he/she has a darn good reason for doing so!

@ OP, that should answer your question.  and judging from your subject, it appears you have a CD ROM drive (hope i'm wrong). 

if that's the case, then you will need to get a DVD ROM drive (at least to be able to read DVDs) or a dual format (DVD+ & DVD-) DVDRW drive if you intend to copy data onto DVDs.

I know how to put the windows cd inside my system but the other processes that follows I dont know. Not even one thing.
No offense bro but i think you'd be better off letting someone that knows about PCs help you before you do more damage to your PC than it has already. 

any pinhead can insert a cd in the cd tray like you stated above (not saying you're a pinhead though). 

@poster, what OS were you trying to load and at what point did you start getting the error message? 

Before you try doing anything, you might want to remove the installation disc or DVD (whichever is the case) from the tray and wipe the data portion of it with a cloth (cotton preferably).  put it back in the tray and start the entire process from scratch.

if you're still getting an error message during installation, depending on the message, you might need another CD/DVD as the one you're using might be missing
some important windows file(s) or the file(s) could be corrupt.  Peace!
