I am working on a project for a customer who wishes to produce a cd that he can send out to potential customers..he wants to video tape his machine on the job site. I will download it into my computer (if I can figure out how) then we will dub in the audio part. I don't have a dvd burner so we decided to try the cd burner. I know that I can burn the video, just not sure what I need to do to dub in the audio..do I need a special program or can I do it in windows media or a like program? We are trying to get out of this cheap and I figured someone out there would have an answer. I'm not sure what kind of camera he is working with, but I'm using a Compaq Presario with 3400+ AMD Sempron Processor, 256 MB memory, 100 GB hard drive and a cd-rw/dvd-rom. I don't know if any of this info would matter to anyone or not.

I just bought this Acer laptop, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115246 and I have had ZERO issues with it. So, their tech support isn't great, I have no need for that, I do my own.

This laptop is about two weeks old. Within the first few days I got it, I installed AOL instant messenger, iTunes, and the Sims 2. I put a few pictures onto the laptop as well as 1 CD on iTunes. Everything was running smoothly. I then, installed Microsoft Office [Word, Outlook, Excell...] and started to have problems with the speed of the computer. It takes almost 10 minutes for the computer to boot up and the sound card when watching movies, TRYING to play the Sims2, etc.... is very delayed. This is very frustrating! What can I do to make the computer run faster?

I made a movie with Windows Movie Maker and saved it as a .wmv file, however after about 10-15 seconds of playback the images stop appearing. The audio still works -- just the pictures and video clips won't show up! What am I doing wrong?! Please help!

I wanted to know because Star Wars: Empire at War uses XML files for just about everything.

So, as for more details, I want to know if I could create a game engine in XML that can use AI, logic, and other things that should be part of a game engine. Give or take a few things.

I want to download some ringtones onto my new phone, but everytime I go to a website that says FREE RINGTONES, you read the small print and you have to pay about $9.99 a month in order to get them. Does anyone know where to go to get them without paying this monthly fee? They sure aren't free if you have to pay a monthly fee for them, at least I don't think so.

Macintosh Operating System beats any other on the market for reliability, user friendlyness and rarly bets a bug. I expect Microsoft to leave the competition behind in software through fear! I see no reason why yahoo should do the same. PC 1st software is the only thing that a PC user could argue being a bebefit of being a windows user. Please end this and release software simultaniosly. I use many operating systems but prefer OSX for all the right reasons. I do not want to contemplate using an inferior operating system just to use Yahoo's services. Or is Yahoo and others like it prepared to lose millions of users to other internet comunities? is Yahoo working on a solution?
Will the new Yahoo chat Applet be operable on OSX in the near future? I've owned PC's since windows 95 and owned a mac since OS 9.2. As any other mac user will tell you the OSX experience is far more enjoyable. Alot less hassle, safer, and unlike windows in operating system can't be reached by a damaging virus.

I have this movie file in another language and would like to insert subtitles in English. I'm not too familiar with the program, but since WMM only allows a certain amount of text to be displayed on the screen at any given time, is there a way that a long piece of text can be displayed? Maybe the text can continue/refresh itself every few seconds to show the rest of the speech?
