Robert from Mississippi writes: Like to know if you can play DVD movies and DVD TV shows on your computer. I not sure what this means. I checked device manager and it said DVD/DC ROM drive, so does that mean you can play DVDs you buy from the store or what? Totally lost. The answer is yes. You can play DVDs of movies and TV shows on a computer that has a DVD drive. But that doesn't mean you are equipped to do it on your computer. A DVD is a storage medium. When you have data on a DVD, you'll also need to make sure you have a program that can open that data. If you have a DVD full of documents, you'll need a program that can read text on your computer. If you have a DVD full of PowerPoint presentations, you'd need that program to read that data. You'll need to make sure you have a program that can... Want more? Head on over to WorldStart!
Question: How do I get rid of the commercials that play before I watch a video online? – Thomas Well, the simple answer is that you can't. Those commercials are called pre-rolls (because they run before the videos you wish to see) and they are how websites pay their bills. It takes a lot of technical expertise and effort to maintain a site capable of playing videos and they have to pay for it somehow. The choices are to charge users subscription or membership fees or to cover those costs by selling advertising. Some pre-rolls will allow you to skip watching the commercial after a few seconds, others make you watch them in their entirety. Sometimes you can skip a pre-roll by hitting refresh on your browser (or using the F5 key), but that doesn't always work. You could just end up starting another commercial from the beginning. Pre-rolls are an important source of revenue for many of the sites you enjoy watching. Most local news operations couldn't afford to have websites without the income generated by pre-rolls. Some sites try to schedule pre-rolls to only come every few video plays, while others take every opportunity to squeeze in as many video plays as they can generate.Fortunately, most pre-rolls are short, usually around 15 seconds. When watching longer programs, you will sometimes... Want more? Just click WorldStart!
Can't Play A File? VLC Player Saves The Day Have an audio or video file that you can't seem to open on your computer? Let me tell you about a great, free program that can make your life a whole lot easier. VLC Player is the answer to your codec error problems. What's a codec you might ask. My flip answer is that codecs are the devil, but the more technically correct answer is that a codec is a device or program that compresses data for faster transmission and then decompresses the data. You'll see a codec error when the programs on your computer don't recognize the program that compressed the data in the file you're trying to open. I worked for many, many years in television and codec errors were the bane of our existence. A commercial made on a particular editing system would refuse to open on another one. Sometimes a file would refuse to open on the same system running a different version of software. Where it really caused problem was when we tried to open surveillance video provided to us by various law enforcement agencies. Every single one of them used a different format. Good luck finding America's most wanted when you can't open the video. Thankfully, a very wise engineer introduced me to VLP. It's free and I've yet to find anything it won't open. VLC Play was developed by VideoLAN organization, a non-profit the promotes free, open-source multimedia solutions. You can choose to donate if you wish, but it's not required. Take a look at the video formats it supports... Just click WorldStart to learn more! For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter.
A Place To Love Dogs I love dogs! Adore, and could not live without canine companionship. I really thought my world was ending when my little Shih-Tzu, Dulcie, was having surgery to remove the blockage from her kidney and I had to go out of town. It scared the pants off of me that something could happen to her when I wasn't there. Thankfully, a year later, she's back to being her ornery self. I've always been a dog person, and have a soft spot for Shih-Tzu's because the first dog in my life was one. This site is for people who love dogs! I hang out here for the adorable galleries of photos of dogs but you'll also find news stories, quotes about dogs, videos and more! When you arrive at the site, you'll find you have a lot of navigation options. You can browse the featured content on the main page that is displayed blog style. You can check out the blue navigation strip with the categories: Great Dog Pictures, Your Photos, Dog Breeds, Dog Quotes, Dog Stories, Dog Videos, Funny Dogs, and Newsletter. And if that weren't enough there's even a Featured Navigation Strip where you'll find: Boo the Pomeranian (sooo cute!), Top Ten Dog Lists, Dogs That Don't Shed, Dogs and Heaven, Puppy Pictures, and Inspirational Dogs. I don't think you go wrong in your selection of places to go, but I always start out in the photo gallery. Today it was the Puppy Pictures – I desperately want a corgi puppy right now. But I also adore the Great Dog Pictures section and the featured photo gallery in the scrolling features was awesome too! If you love dogs, you've got to check this site out today! ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
