    The Creative DDTS100 decoder

    I suppose that's true. But I'm not an engineer, dammit, I'm a geek and that's not the same thing :P heheheh... Also an update to the info I posed before: the system also has dynamic range control, optical inputs, digital coax inputs, and multiple headphone outputs, and a remote. Standard...

    The Creative DDTS100 decoder

    I recently bought a Creative Decoder (DDTS100), which is a Dolby Digital EX/ Surround Pro Logic II / DTS-ES / DTS:Neo6 receiver and decoder box that you can hook up your DVD player, satellite receiver, VCR, stereo, computer, etc. to (it has 7 inputs, 3 standard coax/RCA analog stereo, 3 optical...

    What Pre-1985 Video Game Character Are You ?

    I must protest, Galaxian starship commander isn't on the list! :P

    Video Game Auction site

    I think that Ebay knows it does a lot of sales in video games and they'll want to protect that. (It used to be that it was hard to find the video game listings by browing but now "Video Games" is its own massive category.) But, a little competition never hurt anyone. It's true that Ebay is...

    Bizarre brushes with fame

    Okay oiler-boy, we'll see. :hehehe: Calgary vs. Edmonton, Round Two. (At least that's what we're hopin' for. :bandit ) And, back to the subject of the thread, I've sat and watched hockey games with injured professional hockey players before. (Nobody of great importance though.) And...

    Bizarre brushes with fame

    So any strange brushes with fame to speak of? Ever meet a famous game designer or a movie star or anything like that? I had one... The other day I bought a brand new copy of Popful Mail on eBay from Victor Ireland, the executive producer of the game translation and publishing company...

    2 more weeks!!!!

    I dunno if I wanna see this film, the last "horror" movie I rented was "28 Days Later", and I didn't like it. Lousy writing. The ending made no sense at all, everyone just sorta went nuts for a while, then miraculously some of the protagonists made it out. And the premise was stupid too--a...

    what's your "favorite" codec?

    what's your "favorite" codec? So, audio encoding is a big deal these days, what with everybody trying to get stuff to sound nice but have small file sizes. And to think, just a few short years ago, everyone was using analogue audio casettes, and the majority of people didn't bother to use a...

    I have even higher res versions of the OSTs I made

    I'm not sure, I think I might have seen ACM formats/codecs in there... I wasn't too worried about exporting to other programs when I was doing it, I was more interested in learning how to get Audition to do everything for me. I should look on the Adobe tutorials and help and message board to...

    I have even higher res versions of the OSTs I made

    I was looking in a flyer that came in the newspaper today for car stereo CD players made by Panasonic and a bunch of other companies (I think maybe about 6 different brands) and they all supported CD, CD-R, and CD-RW for standard cd audio, MP3, and WMA. They weren't even that expensive. I...

    I have even higher res versions of the OSTs I made

    I recorded the tracks using my Genesis CDX console with a shielded line-out cable to this computer's sound card line input jack. The reason I made them the way I did is twofold ;P 1 - I'm doing all my recording in Adobe Audition. Audition comes with, uses, and prefers the mp3PRO codec to do...

    I have even higher res versions of the OSTs I made

    Hey guys, I just wanted to mention that for the Genesis and Sega CD soundtracks that I have worked on I encoded them in different formats. To conserve bandwidth for SegaXtreme, I uploaded the tracks as mp3PRO tracks, which require a special winamp plugin to sound "their best". I thought it...

    My Sega Cd batt is dead

    Even if your Saturn battery dies, can't you just get a replacement for like $2 at Wal-Mart?? Doesn't it just use a standard-issue 2032 watch/hearing aid/whatever battery? What's irritating is when old cartridges go dead. I have an original copy of Phantasy Star I. It never got used (it was...

    Funny Ebay Auctions

    No, the guy cancelled all the bids and ended the auction early, so the price reverted back to the one-cent listing start. (Probably got bribed on the side or something. :smash )

    Genesis Mk I headphone jack acting up

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that spray and try it out. As for the connection, I'm pretty sure I've used different sets of headphones to see what happens and I get the same problem.
