Anybody know how to fastforward on this thing (and I don't mean skip ahead to the next chapter, I mean actually fastforward)?

Yeah, just move to wherever along the bar you want to get to.

Thanks, guys!

How do you capture a still from this player?

Ace said:

can you pause and do a screen capture?

Ace said:

I'm not sure you can.

I even tried to use snagit32 to capture a still from WMP but couldn't.
This seems to be true with Reaplayer too
Maybe it has something to do with the video codec moreso than the player.


WMP has way to big a memory stamp for me to like it. Even RealonePlayer has a smaller stamp.

Do you mean hit the "Print Screen" button? I just tried that on a homemade disc and it worked, but when I did the same on the new Springsteen DualDisc, it just showed a black square where the picture was. Do you think this has something to do with copy protection?

In English, please?


What is this "memory stamp" you speak of?

Ace said:

must be! sneaky bruce!!

Ace said:

A video codec is a software comperssion protocol &/or the software itself that allows taking an otherwise analogue visual (your movie) and converting it to bits of data (normally with some dataloss through compression). MPEG, AVI--all of these are file types that require specific video codecs that allow your media players to play them.

Memory stamp is the amount of physical memory that your media player needs to play vidoes/music/etc. Basically, how much RAM your computer needs to operate it. Windows Media Player is notoriously sluggish and bulky in that respect. I prefer RealPlayer and Quicktime/iTunes.

You know record companies, these days: they are desperate to stop copying. Personally, I don't do it (just trying to capture a still here).

Imago said:

Dude, you know this thread isn't about hair, right?

Imago said:

Thanks.

Fauxie said:

at your signature.


Personally, I think it should be FOX-CEE

Ace said:

when all else fails, project the image onto a wall with a data pojector as big as you can and take a photo with a digital camera. That's what technologically challenged folks like me resort to. Truly!

Fauxie said:

We can make it about hair, too!:

Ace said:

OH HELL YES!



Ace, you're the coolest!

Imago said:

But how do you actually pronounce it throughout the day, every day, as you invariably do?

Should I sport a faux-hawk?

Really cool friend of mine:

Fauxie said:

Yes, you should. You have the face for it!



Honest I normally pronounce your name:



DUMB ... ASS

'nuff said.

Ace said:

Wow, you're like the perfect orger. You start a thread about windows media player, but you're open enough to start talking about hair and even willing to post pictures of attractive women you know.
