. But think about it - the earth has been much warmer in past times than it is now. The CO2 level has been MUCH higher than it is now - so how did all of those species evolve and survive? On what started out as a dry ball of rock and dust hurtling through space devoid of even water in the first pla...

Not to bring the tone down but I recently had to arrange my mother's funeral. Total cost will be around £4000. I believe you can get very cheap ones for about half the price. It's not just about the cost of a coffin, there are lots of associated costs involved. If no one wants to pay for your funera...

Looking at the specs - it's a compression refrigerator with a directional fan. Despite claiming max power consumption of 300 Watts, in the small print it mentions 1100 Watts of cooling power output which unless the refrigerator works by magic means it must consume more than that. I think. Refrigerat...

Yep, mp4's are highly compressed compared to mpeg2 dvd files. Depending on bit rate (you can have low quality up to really high quality (superbit) dvds), I think the maximum you can fit on a dvd that will play in a normal dvd player without any issues is around 2.5 hours, so if you divide 4GB by tha...

That's strange, it worked first time for me. Obvious first question (which I'm sure you have checked) - Do you have enough room to render/save the dvd? I'm using a frugal install so both the save directory for the final processed dvd files and pburns working directory (in preferences) are set to use...

I dual boot with knoppix so I can cheat and use everything there. However, I've just had a play with Xenial and Pburn and here is how you do it - 1) Open pburn and choose the files you want to convert and burn pburn will not create a menu so you will get one long continuous movie if you choose more ...

The film-store cupboard is, however, a wee bit bare. It needed re-stocking, that's all.
