Yes Rob, he does, ok? Don’t you know that VoIP lets you have a phone number in whichever area code you choose? Apparently he chose to have a Utah phone number. Can you blame him?

Hmmm. Santa’s got a Utah area code. Who’da thunk?

hey thanks for the tip man. before i would just try to rename the vob. file to wmv but then i started to have playback issues with some movies. scenes would skip and the timing was off. would say 55min on a 2 hour movie. videoredo works great. just wanted a cheaper converter. but one time buy aint so bad. thanks

No, that would be Jenny’s blog that is dead. I at least will write something every couple of months or so.

Comment on Remove iTunes DRM Protection by Steve Martin

Well, the bitrate of the iTunes songs is pretty high to start with. When converted to a standard music CD, it reverts the track back to a WAV file. I am no expert on the conversion to MP3 from WAV but I always understood it to be more of a compression. Compressions can be uncompressed back to their original state. I know there is some loss, but if you start with a pretty high quality file, the chances of anyone noticing any loss is pretty unlikely. I don’t buy many songs from iTunes because of the DRM protection but for the ones I have purchased, I burned and re-ripped and the resulting files sound fabulous.

That is one way to remove DRM but burning a lossy format to a CD and then re-ripping it degrades the quality of the music track somewhat.

I’ll bet Jenny could tell you the exact date of your break-in. Glad to see you’re blogging again… I’ve got to have SOMETHING to do at work, right?
