Sorry, I mistook your statement before. The problem I have is
that all attempts to judge "according to the law" always end up being
highly subjective. I wasn't attempting to polarize, but merely wanted
to point out that what I consider a real and necessary right is not
technically spelled out in the Constitution, so I want judges who can
see the music within the notes, so to speak.
And I'll just skip right over that abortion example again.
It's just not worth getting into a pointless shouting match over...

Except I (and many others) think that you should only amend
the Constitution as an absolute last resort, since each time you do
it, it becomes easier to do. And considering the last few proposed
amendments have been either unecessary (The ERA) or downright
un-American (anti flag burning and anti gay marriage. I'll never
support writing a limitation on free speech or equal protection into
supreme federal law), I'm very leery of tampering with the thing any
more than it has been already. In this respect, you could say that my
natural tendency towards progressive social values makes me
hyperconservative about amending the Constitution.
And the right does just as much mixing and matching with their
interpretation of the law. A true small government social
conservative should be horrified by the idea that the president can
arbitrarily declare anyone an enemy of the state and have them
imprisoned without due process, yet I see few of them protesting it.
We could probably go on with this discussion forever, but
we're already abusing the newsgroups as it is by contributing to this
crossposted troll thread. Care to walk away gracefully while we're
still civil?

The VCD 2.0 ("White Book") standard supports four still image
formats: 352×288 or 704×576 for "PAL" and 352×480 or 704×480
for "NTSC".
My educated guess is that you have burned one disc in low-res
still image format and another in hi-res. Unfortunately, I do
not know about any tool with which you could easily check if
this is the case.

Bummer. I can reach in and pull the image data OFF the VCD, but I'm still
not sure just what the heck is going on within nero.
Nero has no idea how I was able to burn a high res VCD (not SVCD) either
with nero 5.5. They are apparently claiming it's not possible, yet I did it
all the time, and have a VCD next to me. I want to sniff out the details.
And my (old) dvd player has trouble with SVCD. Time to upgrade the sucker I
guess.

For creating still-image slide shows in VCD format, I would strongly
recommend VCDEasy (http://www.vcdeasy.org). Along with giving you solid
flexibility on still-image options, it also has a disc analyzer of some
sort. Once I got this program my days of fiddling with Nero for still-image
slide show VCDs were over. |

Alex,
I have the answer for you, but first may I offer a little education.
You could buy a video capture card and there are many different brands
to choose from these days. All of these video capture cards pretty
much do the same thing, they process video frame by frame. Each video
frame is basically a individual picture that consists of lines of
data. The lines of data consist of pixels. Each pixel has its own
unique digital signature know as RGB or Red, Green, Blue. So, whenever
one frame is compared to the next the capture card is looking for a
difference between the RGB of pixels. When this change is detected it
is considered to be motion. Atleast that is what we all call it. But
it really isn't motion it is a change in the video stream that is
detected.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely
rearranging their prejudices.
| Quote: | No matter how sophisticated your camera, capture card, or software is:
Motion cannot be detected unless it happens to move in front of the
field of view of your camera. This is the main reason why more and
more people struggle with this technology. Why? Becaues in order to
adequately cover any area it would require several cameras, power
supplies, wire drops, and possibly multiple capture cards. all of this
starts to add up pretty quickly even if you choose to use cheap
low-buck equipment. And most people don't have the time to do their
own pro-install because none of the video security manufacturers have
figured out how to make a simple solution. Or perhaps they know that
the money is in selling volume not an easy solution. Im starting to
ramble, but almost to my point.

Why do you wonder if it makes you annoyed to be starting to ramble?

This is my last response before I filter this thread for my
own sanity. If Bill Clinton had gone to Congress in 1998 and said
"You know, there's this guy Osama Bin Laden who's now become a serious
threat to us and who is using Afghanistan as his base. I'd like to
commit the US military to a serious air and ground action to root him
out," the response would have been overwhelmingly negative from both
sides of the aisle. His attempts to retaliate for the Cole involved
launching cruise missiles into Afghanistan (Missing Bin Laden by
hours, according to some reports) and bombing suspected chemical
weapons factories in Africa which later turned out to be
pharmaceutical factories. The opinion of pundits on the left and
right was that Clinton was trying to "Wag the Dog" and divert
attention from his sex scandal, and that was the general reaction to
the strikes he ordered. Hell, Steve Nuttley of Bob the Angry Flower
fame drew a comic at the time depicting Clinton blowing up Africa in a
desperate attempt to find a new enemy for America to hate.
The point I'm getting at is that no one in America aside from
terrorism experts really took the Al Queda threat seriously until we
woke up on 9/11/2001. Till that point, the biggest terrorist attacks
in America had been the 1993 WTC bombing and the bombing of the
federal building in OKC. In both cases, the suspects were arrested,
tried, and convicted. In other words, crimes were committed and then
dealt with by law enforcement. The idea of directly interdicting
foreign terrorists via military action wasn't taken seriously until
the morning the towers came down. Hell, the Clinton administration
had an active anti-Bin Laden unit going in the final years of his term
and they were left to brief the incoming Bush staff. Unfortunately,
the Bush White House decided to suspend everything the Clinton White
House had going in order to review it. That led to the breakdown of
talks with North Korea and the pulling-back from the
Israeli-Palestinian peace process for several months. For the most
part, the biggest foreign policy tests in Bush's first few months in
office involved that downed US intel plane in China and his first
foray at bombing Iraq. In other words, even when given clear
intelligence from the outgoing administration that Bin Laden and his
group were going to be world-class threats in short order, the
response by both the president and the Congress was to call terrorism
talk alarmist and overstated.
The sad truth of all this is that we had plenty of warnings,
but no one here really saw how big the problem was. Even if Bob Dole
had been in office, I seriously doubt we would have launched a ground
war to get at Bin Laden before 9/11. Even the efforts Clinton tried
to make were soundly rejected by most of America, and I fully believe
that the endless attacks on him by the Right compromised his ability
to deal with the problem effectively. It really did take those planes
crashing into New York and DC to convince us otherwise.
