For the first time ever I’ve decided to post a video blog entry. Let me know what you think!

Featured Site: TheLotusEater.com

I’d like to present my first featured web site! I found this site while roaming around StumbleUpon and I was instantly sucked in by its atmosphere and the beautiful (though sometimes slightly disturbing) drawings and artwork there. The artist has combined traditional and new media in a truly creative and evocative way.

You can take it with you

If you’ve been looking for a way to share your application data on your Mac between multiple computers, I’ve got a great solution for you. If you’ve been using a Mac for a while you probably know that most of your application data is stored in the Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/ApplicationName folder. So, how do you share that data between two or more computers? Simple, you tell all of those computers to reference the same Application Support folder!

Handbrake doesn’t find main movie / feature?

Posted by Evan at 7:06 am

I’ve been in the process of ripping my DVDs onto my computer for quick access. In the process I found that for some DVDs Handbrake didn’t find or detect the disk’s main feature so I was unable to rip the DVD. Initially I thought this was just because of the way the DVDs were encoded but I found an easy workaround.

When you initially load the disk into Handbrake you usually choose the “Detected Volumeâ€? option to scan the contents of the DVD disk. However, to correct this problem we’ll use the “DVD Folder/Imageâ€? option and browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD and select it instead. Now Handbrake will find the main feature and detect it properly and you’re on your merry way!
