Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I've never tried to download a movie do I have to shrink it or anything. If not after I watch the movie can I delete it from my hard drive.

Best way to do it with the highest quality is to buy/borrow the movie. I say that b/c most movies you'll find to dwnld will have already been dramatically reduced in size. Consider most dvd movies take up b'w 6-8 GB & you dwnld a movie less than 1 GB or less than 700 MB then how much quality do you really expect. Watch it & toss it! It will have already been reduced in size so much I'm sure it won't look 'that' great compared to the original on a TV in particular! (but then again the ways the average non-digital tv works maybe will have a smoothing/almost blurring fx that'll trick the eye!) You deinitely won't need to reduce it in size & wouldn't be recommended.)

I think you'd be struggling to backup a 750 Mb movie to 700MB or less using any normal file compression technique in any case. Video doesn't & never has compressed very much or very safely using techniques such as zip/sit/other similar format. Video, to my experience & training is the most easily corrupted transporting & of course takes the most strain of the processor & ram when processing (let's leave 3d aside for a moment.) Personally I'v persistently had problems transporting video (particularly if it was on a cd as a back up.)

Prless: I'm sure it can be decent. But many factors can play a part. And how many out there really have the knowledge/finetuning exp to make it a reasonable output (not to mention the apps they use good/crappy.)

I've never attempted to overburn a disk. How much xtra (potentially) can you fit on. It just sounds risky to me, particularly if its reliability depends on the quality/abilities of the particular device it's played back on. I suppose/guess that's the risk you take - if it plays on some (particulrly one you have) it's worthwhile.

Nice to see you've added a Mac section to the Dvd-guides forum. And it sits near the top of the list. Good stuff. But it seems to be missing quite a number of alternative tools in the sticky 'Mac Tools useful for Video and Audio' which surprises me galore. Great idea though.

More is going to be added in time. Afonic is in need of good help with people that know about many of these programs. So if anyone would like to help out and become one of the MOD team there and help out. Tell them
