And try a real subject line for your thread too. Imagine if everyone that wanted help with anything used such a pointless subject line. Seriously. This is the rule on EVERY forum, mailiing list, Bulletin board, etc in the world. Seriously.

hmm...really? cause i've NEVER POSTED ON ANY OTHER BOARD IN MY LIFE.

NOT

i've found that by putting subjects that are vauge yet pressing, you getas many if not more views than a longer detailed subject line. but thanks for the advice...

Yes, they may be true but it is still a bit annoying for those surfing the boards.

Also, I recomend ffmpegX, I *think* it can do real, and wmv. Again I *think* so, if not, there aint anything.

That's fine if you want to do a post-and-run but if you keep posting vague topics with a false sense of urgency you're less likely to be continually answered. Plus if you have a descriptive title you're more likely to attract someone who may know the answer. If nobody's answering, it's likely nobody knows.

What you are is a cyber sociopath. Someone who's not really aware that there are other people out there reading the board... someone who's aware mainly of his own existance and thinks the message board is just a tool to force answers out of with whatever method works.

We are actually a small community of real people here that you've not only decieved by intentionalally posting a dishonest subject line to along with a totally off topic question, but admitted it's not because you're an ignorant newbie, but because you could really care less about rules or manners and unless there is a constant sticky thread at the top of every board saying to use descriptive titles you'll post whatever, whereever, whenever. Sarcastic bastard. The least you could do is post a fake, 'Sorry'.

You may have gotten a bunch of views from suckers here that thought someone actually needed help, but you didn't get any helpful replys and you've revealed yourself to be the boy who crys wolf. We've all lost something today.
