How to Upload a DVD to Youtube

Use either DVD Decrypter or Mac the Ripper (thanks kdarty), to copy the title, segment, or chapter of the DVD that you're interested in in to a single file on your hard drive.

The file will have a .VOB extension.

Simply rename the file to .mpg or .mpeg and upload.

That's it.

Remember, Youtube imposes a 1 Gig, 10 minute limit on uploads. For my video, I used DVD Decrypter to split my clip in two segments. And here they are.





By the way, that's my kid! Halfway to his knee baby! Booyah!

Asking Permission To Use My Laptop

Thanks for the laptop Apple.

May I now have permission to edit the VOB files from my wife's ultrasound?

What's that? They might be from a commercial DVD and you are totally in bed with the billion dollar media conglomerates?

That's fine, just completely block iMovie from editing mpeg2 files. I'll boot in to Windows where I don't need to ask permission.

Bin Laden and Rush Limbaugh Hoping For Our President to Fail


Rush Limbaugh: "I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.' Somebody's gotta say it."

Limbaugh also recently had said: "We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds... grab the ankles, bend over... because his father was black."

Hmm, whadya know. Same thing Bin Laden wants.

The Mute Xbox Experience

So, I unpacked my new XBox 360, and went about attempting to connect it.

It only comes with one AV cable but no problem because it has an HDMI port on the back right?

Yes and no. The problem is: audio over the built in HDMI flat out won't work. I found an article that says Microsoft is attempting to fix the problem, but how am I going to hear my Xbox in the meantime?

After frustrating trips to Gamestop and Walmart to find out that Microsoft charges $50 for an xbox digital audio cable, I decided to use this article to Mutilate the excuse for a cable they include in the box so that I could jam them both in at the same time and actually see AND hear my games using the same stereo RCA connectors I used to connect my 8 track player to my grandmothers Hi Fi in 1981.

Classy Microsoft.



Thanks.

How to pull $73 directly out of your ASS.

If you don't live in a cave, you've probably heard how the evil American auto workers are robbing us blind to the tune of $73 dollars an hour. The only problem is that the figure comes from a right wing blogger who pulled it directly out of his ass.

They invented the number by adding together every penny paid to every employee who has ever worked at every plant, and the cost of health care for every employee that works, and has ever worked at every plant, and divided by the number of hours the CURRENT employees work.

In other words, the figure is complete and utter BULLSHIT.

The average UAW line worker earns $26 dollars per hour.

Now, it is true that the cost of paying the health care of retired UAW employees and their families is getting expensive because .... OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER SCAM!! A system that many of the foreign car companies with whom we compete are not required to participate in because THEIR HEALTH CARE IS FREE!!
