Just remove the part of the audio track not wanted, insert new one, export. Fast, even. </p> <p>For a home-built dvd, something as ancient as <a href="http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/smartripper.cfm">SmartRipper 2.41</a> would suck it off the polycarbonate just fine.</p> <p>Wouldn&#39;t have to re-encode any parts of it that didn&#39;t get changed. </p> <p>now, doing it as .AVI would be more time-consuming since it has to all be run through the codecs, but if he still has the disc... and you have womble (OK, it was just called mpeg video wizard dvd, but that&#39;s who it&#39;s from) that&#39;s the combo to use.</p> <p>Sort of like Better JPEG does for images. Been on dslreports lately? haven&#39;t heard from you in a while...</p> <p>thinking more on .AVI, not sure what other video editors have been given away lately.

If you uninstall it, you cannot watch a movie using the Dell Media center. In fact, the option for a DVD isn't even there. Just Music, Pictures, Videos (not DVD), and Extras (games &#38; such). Since I never used it, I will leave it uninstalled. No change in the burning performance. I have noticed a heavy lag and some freezing of Firefox on certain websites while using Returnil (turned ON), especially sites that use a lot of memory. Myspace and any video site are prime examples. I will keep everyone posted.

I am going to send them an e-mail right after I finish here. As for CD/DVD emulator software, I am not sure. I installed a lot of stuff that came with my computer (from Dell) but I left off the programs I knew I had problems with. About the only program I can think of that may fit this description is PowerDVD from Cyberlink. I guess it is used to play the DVDs on the computer. I assume it was on the computer before I had to reformat, even though I have never used it. I prefer to watch my DVDs on a larger screen. </p> <p>On further inspection I notice that the Dell Media Experience is also made by Cyberlink. I think I will uninstall the PowerDVD first and see if that solves my problems. Thanks for the leads.

I will try scanning for adware, but I am pretty sure that is not the problem since we just reformatted a day or two before I installed Returnil. I haven't even had a chance to get adware since I have spent most of my time reinstalling my purchased programs. I lost all the good ones from GOTD. I would like to contact Michael at Returnil though. How do you suggest I contact him Alex? Is there a link on the GOTD site, such as in a forum or on the comment boards? Thanks for your help!

I figured that it would be a good product to use since I am tired of reformatting my computer every year. I had no problems installing it and the system seems pretty stable. I have had it lock up once, but I can chalk that up to Microsoft. A problem that I have discovered though is with my cd/dvd copying and burning software. I have Nero 6 (don't laugh, it works), Imgburn, and DVDFab 5.2. All are legit copies, so there is no question of bugs in the cracking. I have tried to burn several CDs and a couple of DVDs since I installed Returnil. I have had to slow the burn speed down to the lowest level or make a bunch of coasters. I have discovered though that if I exit completely out of returnil that my cd/dvd programs work ok. I can only assume that this problem arises from returnil. I have not tried to use these programs with the returnil program "on" just with it running in the background (in the "off" position.) I have a 2.53 Ghz cpu with 1 GB ram and over 100 GB free space on the hard drive. </p> <p>My question is, has anyone else had a similar problem with Returnil? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3647#post-38770 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:32:21 +0000 hotdoge3 38770@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>new PC not have the reg it be in the old PC,wait for new one or get a free one for now. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3647#post-38768 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:56:47 +0000 Anyr 38768@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well, I downloaded and installed the Xilisoft DVD Ripper program that was on GAOTD a while back (month+) and I installed it to my external hard drive since my laptop at the time was unrealiable and was without a doubt about to go kabloom, and sure enough it did, but the program was on my external (which was fine) so I assumed that it would work just fine when run from my new laptop when I connected my external hard drive, but it thinks it's just a trial version instead of the full one I got from here. Any reason? I'm thinking that it's because I don't have the registry for the file or something such as that, but is there a way to fix it? Or am I going to have to wait for another DVD ripper program to come around? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3383#post-31881 Fri, 30 May 2008 09:33:45 +0000 Lee 31881@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>One there is NO virii data in the package.</p> <p>two, post these things here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/719" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/719</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3383#post-31880 Fri, 30 May 2008 09:19:33 +0000 hotdoge3 31880@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>some info like way do you think it a virus?
