also when I convert an unsupported video file to a supported one (mp4), the file size gets much larger than the original one, if you wanted to convert it at the same quality. or at least that is what happens to mesyoaran said:

OC season 1 is seriously amazing.
2 was okay, didn't make it past a few episodes of 3.
that first season, though, man

you should watch season 1 - it's an excellent fully contained story. it's equal parts funny & heartbreaking and has a really charming cast.
the first 6 episodes establish the characters - the rest of the season takes these seemingly 1 dimensional archtypes and turns them on their head.
seth cohen is a huge reason the show is so good - he resonated a lot with me. he makes tons of great references to stuff i absolutely love (princess mononoke, the amazing adventures of kavalier & clay, bright eyes, etc) and clearly has issues dealing with "his" weird esoteric passions becoming popular. we also had similar superbabe situations. hit close to him on a lot of levels.

i'll look into handbrake, for sure.

good reference

nah that was when things got shitty... rachel bilson is the best looking girl on the show. her + adam brody's characters
Absolutely no reason to wait on a future iteration for this kind of product. I [re]purchased an iPad 1 a few months before the 2 only because I knew it would fetch near retail on craigslist a few weeks before the launch. The crazy demand for these new tablets essentially means you can get a free, indefinite rental, heh.

I tried to get my Dad to give me his U-Verse login info so I could use it and he doesn't know what it is! BOO.

I tried a 720p (non-anime) movie and it chugged and froze. Though I tend to use a pretty high bitrate when I encode as I err on the side of quality rather than efficient use of HDD space, so your experience may differ.
Take note: these third party players which can play mkv/xvid/avi natively use more battery life than if you had converted to mp4/h.264.
Why? Their video decoder only has access to the CPU and not the GPU's H.264 video decoder. This results in more CPU usage, choppier playback with high quality videos, and less battery life.

Just joined the ipad army here. Got an Ipad 1 instead though since I didn't feel the iPad 2 was necessary.
got a 64 gb ipad or 400 so I feel like I got a decent bargain. So anyone know where I should start with this device?
does anyone here use a stylus and/or take notes on theirs? Part of my justification for buying it was for note taking and school work. And of course a ton of dicking around as well.

Try this, my new favourite! http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/
It'll detect any subtitles in the mkv give you the option of which you wish to add or you can add external .srt files.
Super simple and has replaced handbrake for me

I was trying to do this but it wasn't working.
The problem? I was trying to drag and drop video files to the "Videos" part in itunes. Duh? Why would something so intuitive work in itunes. It turnes out I had to ad the folder to the library via the File menu. Now it works.
Sigh.

I know if you hit the clock on the top you can scroll instantly to the top of the app... But how do you scroll down to the bottom?
Well, there's no "videos" part of iTunes, I think. Maybe you meant Movies or TV Shows. You were trying to drag it into the connected iPad section right? Because you can drag it into your iTunes library fine, but you can't drag and drop things directly into iOS devices unless you're doing it in the Apps screen (that's not going to get you into the iOS-native apps, though). iOS devices and iPods work by syncing with what's inside the library.VPhys said:

Anyone else use the Speck PixelSkin HD Wrap? That thing is feckin awful. I wanted to use it as both a case and a stand. Seemed like a great case, protected the iPad well but fucking hell did it suck as a stand. When putting into a typing "stand" position it would slip constantly and have me very annoyed very quickly. Another thing is that it doesn't have the magnets like the smart cover to keep it closed, but rather a suction thing. After about half an hour, I already noticed it was losing grip.
End result: I'm sending the damn Speck back and ran down to Target and picked up a Smart Cover. Much, MUCH better. No slipping when used as a stand and fantastic magnetic grip when closed. I know for sure any case I buy in the future better be at least on par with the Smart Cover.

All the Amazon user reviews complain about weak magnets. Sounds like it would probably bother me. I'm fine with the Smart Cover for now.neojubei said:
