    H.264 .mov only HD?

    Theres H.264/AVC/MPEG-4, VC-1, MPEG-2, xvid, divx, etc, but the first 3 are the ones most often used. And yes, most high-def content either comes in m2ts, ts, or mkv containers.

    Disappearing Disk Space?

    Either logs in the Windows folder, restore points, bigger page file, or temporary internet files (there are probably more, but I can't think of any at the moment).

    Xvid Error

    VLC uses old ffdshow libraries. CCCP uses newer ffdshow-tryouts libraries. K-Lite uses the latest build of ffdshow-tryouts at the time of release. VLC doesn't have fully functional DTS decoding, slow H.264 decoding (thanks to old ffdshow libraries), can't play HD DVD/Blu-ray streams (more...

    Xvid Error

    All apparently illegal codecs are open source ones that happen to decode proprietary formats. The decoders that are included that companies claim are illegal are free versions available to anyone willing to download their products free of charge from their website. Upside down video is easily...

    dd-wrt or tomato firmware

    I think Tomato is better solely for having a bandwidth monitor.

    Xvid Error

    Use the latest VLC if possible. Even better, don't use VLC because it doesn't have the latest video decoder libraries, potentially missing hundreds of bug fixes. But anyway, it looks as if that one video is giving you the error (since it has no thumbnail). Are you sure its not corrupt?

    DVD & Video

    Lower the bitrate of the video. If you're burning these DVDs to be watchable on a DVD player, then its converting the video to MPEG-2, which has insanely low quality for high bitrates thanks to bad compression. Thats why xvid rips of DVDs are 700mb when the DVD itself is 2.5GB or something.

    Xvid Error

    Uninstall xvid and any other codecs you have, run CCleaner, download K-Lite Codec Pack, use default settings if you want (though its better if you switch every option you've decided to check to ffdshow (libavcodec too)), done.

    CD Art

    There was a good site, www.thejosher.net/itunes, but Apple did some things to their iTMS so it doesn't work again for the time being. Only a select few albums still show relatively hi-res images.

    Go behind the plate, push it down so it falls to the ground. Throw a nade under it, stand on the plate, get launched up.

    Need source code for .exe

    VB.NET, for example, is easy to decompile if the compiled project isn't obfuscated.. so if its a .NET exe, good luck. :D
