This will allow you to store them on the DIVX player and you can use this to view them on your comand.
Thank Sunil, I am now on the hunt for this.

DIVX players also work with VOB files which are not compressed. Music videos are best not compressed as the dynamic range of the live music suffers greatly under compression.

KINGKONG - i thank you for understanding my point of view, and going into bat for me.

MIRO - we have our differences, eitherway no harm done! Just to clear a few things up though. In reference to me asking you for your business details over the phone. i believe that was a justifyed question. I didnt know you had a proper business etc, i though you were a uni student making a few bucks on the side (ie: One of our initial contacts was via yous university email address).

You said Steve had to wait for you because of me...i think hes capable of doing things himself. No offence.

Finally i have discussed with Steve about potentially meeting him and we came to an agreement, of which he knows about.

SUNIL - As always your points are valid, and knowledge is great oh wise one

BUELLWINKLE - Thanks for your input, i have viewed your site several times! Brilliant information.

SAPRISSA - During your conference call, can you please tell Bush boy to tell a FUNNY joke that makes at least a bit of sence when he begins a Speech...Hes But funny as hell!

So i guess thats about all. Now Moderators, freekin shut this thread down, i received all the info i need and then some...
You are cynical or naive ... I dont know which. Making the assumptions you have made to date has got you nowhere. When I was changing from cable to DSL the only email in service was my hotmail and college service. How does that preclude me from operating a corporation ?

So now i've been labeled cynical and naive.

Miro i dont know what your problem is with me personally, other than us not being able to do business.

My assumptions are exactly that Mine! Them not getting me anywhere, once again i believe we will have to agree to disagree.

You asked "how your differing email address' prevent you from operating a corporation?" (settle down Microsoft) I believe that Trust has a lot to do with it, after all to me as a consumer, you were an email address, correction 2 email address' and a voice over the phone. i had limited knowledge of you and your business. Im not going to jump into a significant purchase blind.

Let see now, i do believe that this thread could potentially go on for ever. (moderators Sticky please!) Im banking on 2 consecutively.

Steve operates mostly from a Hotmail address and you have never spoken to him. The truth is that it comes down to price which is perfectly acceptable as I am not the richest guy in the world and neither are you.

My email upgrade took place in January .... November starts tomorrow and we are still talking about your COMAND install. I will refrain from inferring anything in future. There is no point in discussing the same install month after month. You should at least have the satisfaction of finishing this install this year without any more criticism.

Thanx Miro, i appreciate your civil response in your last post.

I have been speaking with Steve and Wanda for AGES, (as you said January). They have helped me out a hell of a lot and they have been more than reasonable with my requests and questions etc, i can not say anything negative about them.

Next time your in Melbourne, PM me, it would be good to put a face to a name and put our differences behind us. That is of corse if you feel the same, if not well so be it...

After the last two trips I have formed an agreement with Anthony at AMSTAR MOTORS in Melbourne. You should go and see him about any technical problems he will be in communication with myself and Steve regularly from now on.

It is not economical for clients to pay me to fly to Melbourne. The round trip from the dealership to the airport was $90 AUD alone. There are a number of "difficult" things I might come down for but nothing this month.

On the last two trips I didnt even see my oldest friends.
