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.

Default DVD copying BASIC Question

I've just posted question as to how to burn television shows...

But I've been reading other posts and wonder if I can even burn a television show on my computer.

Can someone tell me -

I download television programs from LW. I use a MSN Media Player or a Real Player to watch. My computer has a CD writer and a DVD.rom.

Is this enough to burn a copy of the television program?

Thanks!

Normally I would say you have to have a dvd burner and the software to convert your files to dvd format, but I have read that some people burn movies and such by doing a Data burn and they use a CD for this...The program used for this is Nero, but as Im not familiar with it I cant be 100% sure...
Hopefully someone who knows Nero will give you some advice about this...

Default Nero-info...

Thanks for responding. I'm a bit intimidated by some of the responses to other "newbie" questions...if you don't know the basics, hard to research your answers.

I see Nero on my computer programs - don't know how to get into it.

Any other information would be appreciated!

I would guess that you have Nero Startsmart (You don't specify what version of Nero you have)

Start>All Programs>(Nero version?)>Nero StartSmart should do it

BTW if you had nero preinstalled when you bought the computer it is not the full featured program but you should have no problem burning data disks

Default Nero-Thanks Sleepless

Thank you Sleepless...

I can find Nero when I go to add/remove programs but when I follow your suggestions to open the All Programs - Nero is not listed.

So-perhaps I should download Nero again? I'm afraid my computer is getting slower and slower and sllllloooooooowwwwwweeeeerrrrrr-

I am living in Italy presently and don't speak the language very well...so it is making it much more difficult to get any kind of assistance on my computer issues. Thus the reason I am asking what might seem like such basic questions! My apologies!

It might be in your All Programs > Accessories..
With your computer acting very slow, be careful you haven't downloaded a virus or something nasty...
Check this thread for some information on this....

I download a music video i.e. The Sex Pistols it go's into the shared folder,i right click it from the shared folder and move it to "My documents" [if you do this with a film it could take a few minutes] then i use nero 7 and make a dvd by adding the file/clip from my documents and burn it to a blank dvd using nero 7.When it's finished i delete it from my documents [to save space] and i know i shouldn't but i delete it from the shared folder on limewire.It's an easy way to do it.

Go to C:\Programs or C:\Applications or whereever your programs get installed (doesn't have to be C: drive either)

Find a folder called Nero or Ahead (Ahead is the manufacturer) there you should find either a folder Called Nero Burning ROM or Nero Express. These are both burnprograms. (Even better if you find Nero StartSmart which is the program that combines all Nero Programs).

Make shortcuts to the .exe files in those folders and move to your desktop or media folder

Now when you press the shortcut the program should start

Default Nero - what do I do now

OK...I took all of your advice...and I downloaded the Nero Smart program.

But, now I am wondering if MAYBE I am supposed to have a DVD writer on my computer. I have a DVD-rom but not a writer.

Is this going to be a problem?
