I have some .VOB files on my hard drive but I want to be able to edit the video. What program can I use to convert the .VOB files to .MOV or .AVI files? Can I use VLC Media Player? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.218.228 ( talk) 01:40, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
WinFF (along with HandBrake and SUPER), is yet another front end to ffmpeg. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 11:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that newer computers can still make their sound effects OUT LOUD even when I've plugged an earphone jack in! (One example is the stickykeys freaky sound effect.) How do I stop that? Is there a separate speaker that needs to be disabled? -- 198.163.150.5 ( talk) 02:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I want to use images from this webcam as a wallpaper on my HTC Magic mobile. I have an app "WorldTour" that allows you to specify a custom URL instead of their listed ones, but I can't work out what the required URL is for the images. The URL http://195.235.198.107:3344/view/index.shtml doesn't work, and the app says it expects it to end with .jpg, .png or .gif. I've hunted around in the page source but I can't see what I should use.-- A bit iffy ( talk) 06:48, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey. I am a differently abled administrator. My disabilities are two: I am colorblind, and I am clueless in CSS. Can someone pretty please help me modify my monobook? For years now I've been editing and not being able to find the bold red text on diffs (but only now realized that you don't have to suffer, dumbass). Can someone please help me fix my monobook? I'd like to change the background coloring on both sides of the diff from yellow and green (? whatever.) to light blue on both sides, and to add yellow highlighting to the bold red text (like in some other skins). This should be really simple, right? -- Y not? 19:53, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi all,
I had a few (old) game CDs back in the days which were oddly enough playable on CD players except that one track couldn't be listened to (presumably the rest of the data was on that "track"). Indeed they could also be ripped too. They were music tracks in the game. Sometimes the format was different - sometimes I got each individual track as a single song from the game; sometimes I got all the tracks joined together as one long song.
Does anyone know how these are manufactured/burnt to do so, and whether it was likely unintentional? Bear in mind I'm talking about games in the early-1990s to the early-2000s. x42bn6 Talk Mess 22:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
This is beyond the screen documentation, so I'm not surprised that it isn't there. Here's the situation... I run a process on a server. It is taking forever. I would like to attach it screen so I can disconnect from the server and come back later. I tried sleeping the process, starting screen, and then waking the process. That wouldn't work. You can only wake processes put to sleep inside the screen. Is there some trick I can use to sleep a process and then grab control of it inside screen? -- kainaw ™ 22:53, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I was already fiddling with retty. No luck. I did get a fix though. I added screen to my bashrc. So, when I connect to that specific server, I get shoved into screen. Then, I know I can close it and leave without losing any query I started running. -- kainaw ™ 16:23, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
