Get a DVD burner or split the video. I did that. I have SWAT on 2 discs. 350 mbs on each.

how can i split the video? now i'm importing it to Windows Movie Maker and i'll cut something here and there to reduce the size. but it'll take ages

Just cut out the credits at the end of the movie it's useless, who reads that stuff anyway

Google "Movie Slicer" or "Mpeg Splitter". Use your imagination when it comes to Google phrases.

is there a way to tell if your comp uses pci or SLI video card slots? (yeah it may seem like a noob question but i dont really have a gfx card)

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 29 Jun 2005, 21:31

ya try Roxio 7.5 , I think that what it is called---i was at Walmart the other day and it was the same price as NERO 6.6. Roxio looked like it had better features for the same price.

hope this helps.

You need to buy a PCI enabled Mother board. Most of the SLi motherboards(nForce) are still hard to find or are special orders...

SLI is not a videocard slot. You know what slots are on your mobo if you know how they look like.

SLi is nothing more than a Motherboard that supports dual vid cards...

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 30 Jun 2005, 00:06

Yep graphics cards are in two versions AGP and PCI-E.

thats what i meant lol (mistake

). is a intel celeron a PCI or SLI and, which one would be good for a 300w power supply?

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 30 Jun 2005, 00:17

Again, SLI is not a slot. It's a technology from NVidia ( Originally from 3dFX I believe ) to use 2 videocards.

You have either AGP, PCI or PCI-Express. It's usually written quite small next to the slot.

A 6600GT might survive a 300W PSU, but that's only when you got the real popular brands and not a crapload brand with unstable PSUs.

i found a small, free and a burning program better than Nero. it's very simple to use... BurnAtOnce

Exactly. You either need to study the facts online and in magazines or have lived back in 'the day.'

btw, 3dFX is a Video card created by VooDoo
