[edit] WELL, I can post it directly here, but it will distort the page... And I don't think PMB would like this ;)[/edit]

That's what I get when I follow the link. And no, I don't see any sig picture.

How about a new thread: "If your sig is broken..." :P

I honestly don't know why this happens... The hosting space came together with my prvider...

Well, can anybody donate me, like, 2MB (TOPS) of web hosting? Just for my images...

Pierre-Marie Baty 26-11-2004 15:57

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
look, I don't mean to sound like you did something wrong or anything but that's true: for some time now I can't see your sig anymore :)

It just makes that little red cross, unknown image...

von Ryan 26-11-2004 15:58

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
OK, I just discovered that my service provider does not allow images to be "called" unless they are called by links that are originated internally (made by pages that are hosted on the server)...

That sucks.

HangFire 26-11-2004 16:11

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
Maybe you should try some free image hoster like http://www.imageshack.us .


I get my image hosting for free from a friend on mine, so I never have any hosting troubles.

I don't trust these free sites, I always find it TOO easy... there is always something in the fine print...

So, I'll try to talk to my server, else I'm gonna need a favour from someone... plz? :D

von Ryan 26-11-2004 16:23

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
OK, I think I'll need that favor... If anybody can donate me 1.5MB, please, pm me, icq me, email me, anything me!

It works: Copy the link location, paste to another tab/window and add a '?' at the end of the link. Works most of the time with such sites :)

HangFire 26-11-2004 16:55

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
Back to topic:

Thats what I do with my PC/TV all the time to watch movies with people.

The picture on the TV looks awful for everything but movies.

1- WTF? Please, refresh the page and try again, otherwise I'll have to take Hangfire's solution and put everything at imageshack...

2- Black Hawk Down rox... both movie and game! Pitty you only had the crap version!

3- Hell Yeah! Playing NFSU2 in a 29'' Flat-Screen Sony TV rox...

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
I don't get why the pictures were posted. what has this to do with a DVD ?

HangFire 27-11-2004 14:19

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
If your DVD player is broken, hook up your PC to your TV and use your PC to play movies.

@$3.1415rin 27-11-2004 14:29

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
yeah, cause my TV has nicer picture quality than my computer screen .... I gotta switch to coding on a TV screen, cause that's way cooler ;)

sry, not in a good mood today

Well, if you can distinguish the letters, that's alright, cause the can get pretty small in the tv screen... 9_9

Pierre-Marie Baty 27-11-2004 21:52

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
that was half funny anyway, since it's already what I am doing.
Not coding, playing DVDs heh. Ain't that crazy ;)

>BKA< T Wrecks 27-11-2004 22:33

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
Join the club. I never bothered buying a standalone DVD player, Why would I, with a comparably silent PC, a top-quality DVD-ROM and a GFX card with ViVo?

VHS cassettes => AVI/MPG; DVD-ROM => TV. :)

Exilibur 28-11-2004 00:42

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
I've done the same thing, just with music... no cd-player, just an amp and speakers... why buy a cd-player when I have two in the computer already?

And then I have a little guitar preamp/effects thingie (v-amp2), going over to the computer or the amp. No need to be redudant.

Next thing on my list is a tv-card and a dvddrive. My graphics card has no tv-in.

but since i haven't really had a tv for the last 1½ years, I've found out that i don't really need one anyway, so i don't know if I'll ever do anything about it.

von Ryan 28-11-2004 00:53

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
Guess what: I was waiting for my father so that we could watch Kill Bill 2, and as he was going to do somethings first, I started to play NFSU2 in the computer. W0W.

Soon I'll post a picture of it, my only frontal USB connection doesn't seem to be in a good mood today...

FrostyCoolSlug 04-12-2004 02:19

Re: If your DVD is broken...
 
using TV-Out isnt something new, but yea, i've used it to play DVDs before, i'd show you pics of my PC setup, but i'd probably win a 'Most unorganised desktop' award.. i got 3 computers crammed in here randomly, 1 i'm using, my linux box and my rather large DVD player ;)
