Thanks Firebird, not got the equipment to do this, but will have a look for the bits

Cheers

A little bit of advice (I've read some of the hints/advice in this forum but I'm a bit thick)

I would like to capture some video from the live webstream (hopefully with audio)

Could anyone advise about the software to use

I'm looking for something fairly straightforward (aka idiot proof) and perhaps free that will work with windows xp?

Thanks

What I'd like to know, and you can apply it for vids here. How do those people record an hour of say lost, then compress it to 700 mb and still have a perfect crisp picture.

What settings are the likely to be using with regard to bit rate, resolutions, sound and so one.

#always wonder how they did that.

There needs to be a tutorial has a sticky set up on here from someone who knows how for people without the knowledge.

Usually a 45 minute US TV epispode is shared as either a 350MB file (in my opinion poor quality - not crisp or perfect), a 1.1GB .mkv file (great quality although from time to time the sound can be out of synch) or through iTunes as a 1.4GB WEB-DL .mkv file (even better quality & sound is always synched properly).

The .mkv files are recorded & converted from good quality broadcasts - most popular US TV series are now broadcast in HD. I don't share TV or films so can't help with info beyond that - I'm sure some of the Warez sites have tech guides.

Well people have skirted around this a bit but to be honest something like that to be of any use is way beyond the scope of this forum if it is going to be comprehensive and yet still understandable to the lay person

It's a while since I've had need to trawl for such info but the Afterdawn forums would probably be a better jumping off point than here. You'll need something firm to hold onto though as video encoding and compression is not a simple subject and you need to understand the basics before you can then make an informed choice about what codec and settings to use.

Do not expect a definitive answer to you question

Do not expect it to be simple if you want the best results

Does anyone know of a good easy to use image converter? As my caps save in png they take an age to upload compaired to jpeg's

I don't use a PC, but does the standard image viewer not have a 'save as' option allowing you to save in a different format?

Alternatively, this site allows you to treat a batch of images - resize them, convert them etc.

Try using paint.net. It's freeware and very simple to use.
