Your title says you want to code divx to mpeg, but in the thread you say it's divx to DVD? For the latter this is the easiest FREE way I know of doing it - a kind of one-stop solution: http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.html For converting divx files to other formats (like MPEG), you'll nee...

I was at the second night in the standing area at the front - like many it was my first Sisters gig and I really enjoyed it. As far as I remember the place was pretty full. The following night I saw the Happy Mondays at the same venue, which was odd.

Neither myself or my girlfriend had seen the Sisters live since Wembley 1990, so we were both really looking forward to this one, and were hugely disappointed. We were standing about halfway back at ground level, centre stage. The dry ice was thick as expected, but I certainly didn't really care abo...

If you walk into a restaurant and get a menu where the only choices are red smarties or blue smarties, are you being presented with a choice? Democracy died long ago.

I think all cats are spies from some faraway planet, sent here to gather information in preparation for an imminent feline invasion.

You are not right to disbelieve. You have only your senses to go on, which are horribly flawed. Nothing in this universe or any other is 100% fact - only degrees of what we currently believe to be fact.

Atheism is effectively a religion. The only logical standpoint on the matter of god is agnosticism. I disagree.

You're all wrong. The only appropriate attire while you're listening to the Sisters is naked. Alone in the house, as loud as possible, and some nice scented body oils and stuff. Then, oh then you start to understand the music! :P :oops: Still, some nice pink underwear is not bad either. :P lmao :lol:

I agree that they are often dark and often humourous, but what bearing that has on what anyone should wear to their concerts to fully appreaciate their music you'll have to explain to me... either I'm having a logic-block or you're completely bonkers... :?
