[CGUYS] Backup for Windows Laptop
Can someone suggest a good backup software, or hardware solution for my wife's labtop. It runs XP Pro, is her school supplied computer, but she really wants to preserve all her "games" that she has downloaded and installed from GameHouse.

Re: [CGUYS] Computer gadgets in cars
Let's be very clear about one thing. Gun Bans only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals could care less and do not purchase guns legally, even if they could.

If I was a petty thief, the last person I'd try to mug is a gun toting person. On the other hand I have to think of the general common sense of the population. What happens when a person carries both a cell phone and a gun and the cell phone rings? Have you ever ridden a bus and had a 14 year old get on with a pistol tucked in his belt? That moment has a lot to do with my opinion on guns. I got off at the next stop and walked the rest of the way home. Are people routinely shot down in the streets of your town? Are people afraid to go out of their houses at night? Do stray shots shatter the windows of your homes while you cower behind the couch? Do you really think that is a good way to live? Do you really think being able to shoot back is going to improve the situation? The more lead we have flying the more innocent people will be killed. Why can't I carry a loaded gun into the Capitol? Pass that law first.

Re: [CGUYS] Video Codec Search
Try www.free-codecs.com Subject: Re: Video codec search From: trac...@aol.com Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:24:20 EDT Thanks for the advice but I already discounted the "I give up and quit "solution to this for the time being. I was actually looking for advice as to address the concern from a technical point of view because periodically I have to shoot in the MOV format due to the requests of others and I would still like to do work on the files for my own archives. Still looking for the ACM Codec if someone can assist. Tracy In a message dated 7/11/2009 8:11:22 P.M.

MP4 not a problem to deal with BUT.the MOV clips (native to Final Cut Pro[Mac]) are posing a problem. I am using Vegas Pro 9 on my Windows Vista PC as a Non-Linear Editor and was told that transcoding away from the MOV files to something more "Vegas Friendly" is the way to go. Purchased Video Converter from AVS4U software and tried to do that. Once I chose the MOV file to convert I get an error message "ACM Video Codec not installed". I have been searching high and low for this codec and cannot find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or offer suggestions?
