You should be able to hear the sound as you are recording the video to MPEG. If you can't hear sound while you are recording, then you are not capturing sound. Make sure you have your software on your PC (ULEAD) configured correctly. I assume you have the the VCR red and white audio connections correctly plugged into your converter box? It has to be something simple...
Actually I can hear the sound as the recording is being made. The problem seems to be in the transfer to DVD where only the video portion is being transferred. I did go to the Ulead support forum and it says plug in the 3 RCA connections + the audio out from the Kworld converter to the line in of the PC. I had already done that. That is why I am confused - why does it need two audio in signals (one RCA and one line in). In any case, I have it hooked up as they want and it does not work.

People can say all they want about how JP has managed the games thus far, no pics, etc. Until he marches the BUF O 80 yds in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter to either go ahead or tie a game, I am not sold on him. The Bills havent had a 4th quarter comeback really since HUMPTY (bledsoe) led us on a few in '03. Im rooting for JP as much as anyone, but until he executes the aforementioned, Im still selling JPs stock.

Fair enough. And I am not sold on the special teams until they score a kickoff/punt return for a touchdown in the final two minutes to put us ahead or tie.

Okay, so I got this $40 contraption that helps convert old VHS tapes to DVDs. It is a smallish gadget that attaches to the VCR analog outputs at one end and to a PC via a USB connection. You play the VHS tape and the supplied software (Ulead) creates a copy on your PC's hard drive. Then you burn it to a DVD. Now, I did all that but my DVD has picture but no sound ! I emailed their tech support (in Korea) but no reply. Also went to their forums to get help but the suggested solution (see if mute is not on blah blah) does not work.
Anybody have any experience/thoughts/words of wisdom ?

Thanx in advance guys !

I don't see how the DirecTV deal is a monopoly. It is an exclusive rights agreeement which happens in several industries and markets- think Windows and Intel till a few months back. Also, if a monopoly such as this were to reduce competition in the marketplace, the FCC would be all over DirecTV. Count me in as one who switched from Comcast to DirecTV only due to the Sunday ticket.

How has everyone's experience with Cingular been? I went with Cingular because I know it gets fine reception here in Austin, and I also have friends (including my girlfriend) that use it (free mobile-to-mobile minutes).
By the way, the phone that I got: http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=us&...id=10296&lm=pp1
I was with AT&T wireless. My contract was up and I called Cingular to get a new deal. The rep told me that they have sucky phone deals and I was better off buying from wirefly. I could not believe a rep telling me to go somewhere else for the phone. So I did, got a Razr for my wife and a Motorola L6 for myself. Total price including all charges was ~ $70. They also upgraded my shipping for no reason. There were instructions for activating my phone (with number already ported). I called Cingular and was active with my new phones in 15 minutes.
Have been happy with Cingular quality of calls and customer service. All in all, similar experience as you had with Wirefly.

Is that before or after this $5 rebate ? I am paying $19.99 for AT&T DSL Pro. The strange thing is I had called AT&T (then SBC) a few months back regarding a bill question totally unrelated to my DSL charges. After she resolved the issue, she looks at my bill and said she can drop my price by $3 if I extend my contract by a year. You should call up your rep and see if they can do the same for you.

Ya, I know it is that time of the year when it the first game is almost here but it seems longer than the months of wait since last season ended. So, have at it guys - let us see what you think.
I think it will be PP

As there seem to be several DirecTV subscribers here, I thought it would be useful to post this in a new thread:
DirecTV is offering a $5 pm credit for subscribers who have DSL from 'qualified' providers.

THe scary thing is that Greggo is almost God like here. He is a real media darling, and the locals believe that they got a steal when Synder overpaid for him.
The media reported he got 7 calls for HC positions at the end of last season, and Synder outbid them to keep his services. I cannot wait till they realize the Emperor has no clothes.
I don't understand the GW bashing in this thread. He was incompetent as a HC but has done well as DC prior to and after his Bills stint. He also was a gentleman and there is no real reason for us to attack him.
Heck, we looked like world-beaters when we opened the season thrashing NE 38-0 a couple of years back but look what happened to our season. Several teams have utterly bafflingly pathetic performances. I am actually happy that NE won so handily as it gives them more reason to be over-confident going into the regular season and more opportunity for us to beat them.

"You hate to drop balls, but you're going to drop them," Reed said. "You don't want to, but it's going to happen and it's all about how you respond."
I disliked this statement from JR. This is not the attitude you should have. Not only does he accept that he has a problem catching but also implying it will be an on going problem. In the current regime, this statement should indicate he is not the 'character' player and he should be cut. I am a firm believer in accepting your short comings but that should be associated with a corresponding effort to get better.
This statement by Fairchild may be an indication of that happening should someone else show they can consistently catch the ball:
"He has had drops in both games, and you've got to make those plays," said Fairchild.

I wonder if the problem is one of the extensions you have downloaded. One verison of Tabrowser Preferences made my Firefox crash endlessly and I kept cussing Firefox (but still using it). As soon as I uninstalled that extension, my problem went away.

Given the decent performance of Gates this pre-season, how about we trade them A-train for a 'good' draft pick ? A-train is more than a short yardage player

If true, this is another reason to hate MS. Much as I admire what they have done in the past to make the PC very accessible to the common person, this kind of sneaky tactics are pathetic at best. This is similar to saying, if I get a phone call from a person from a different carrier, I will experience more dropped calls ! Well, in my small and insignificant way, I will make it a point to not visit MSNBC.

He is our rookie 5th round draft pick. Sweet ain't it ?

Anything is possible, but I don't see a mutiny happening. For one thing, the most vocal malcontents are gone. Also, one would hope that JP will play better than he did last year.
Perhaps most important is the fact that if JP does start the season, he will have earned the job this time.
I feel the same way. No team should cut a # 2 depth chart player for fear of there being a mutiny. It is a job of the coaches to keep the rank anf file in order and marching to the same tune. Somehow, I feel the combination of Jauron and Levy have more backbone than their predecessors.

Well, you did try to get your info. from the website. Why don't you call their order line and ask them this question. They are fairly knowledgeable about this stuff and can tell you info. specific to your zip code.

Hey do you happen to have a link to the areas that this will impact? I can't get antenna reception where I am and this would really sway me towards Direct TV if I knew I'd be able to get the local channels directly off the satellite. I tried searching the Direct TV site, but they seemed kind of vague on the whole thing.
I am in the Chicago-land area and getting DirecTV installed this weekend. I am getting a 5 LNB dish and my locals will be coming from the satellite.

Thanx, clumpy. In addition to Nate, it will be nice to lock up McGahee and (if he plays well) Losman.
Does anyone have Kworld DVD maker ?

Very funny ! If it were those kinda videos, the subjects would look too ancient to merit a transfer to DVD.
They are of my two daughters who look cuter in their videos as they become older in the present.
