this isnt really pc related...i just wanna know what a "sticky topic" is...cant seem to find an explanation on the forums and if there is one, its been hidden very well

It is exactly as it says big grin

For example this thread is sticky thread meaning this will stay at the top of the thread list in Secretary's desk. Normally the thread with latest post is at the top.

Briefly, the order is announcement, sticky, normal.

kinda a stupid question. but how do you download on megaupload?

1. Click the download link that leads to MU. In this example I have used

2. Enter the three alphabet code to the box and click "Download". If you have a MU account log in first.
3. If you have premium account (= paid), you will get the "Click here to download" button right away, without waiting.

4. Wait till the button on Free column changes to "Free download". Then click that button and a pop-up window will open. Choose destination folder for the file. Download will start.

I highly recommend to use MegaManager or some download manager for better dl speed.

Can someone please help me? I've been searching for a few days now but it's no use. Is there a program that can cut a small clip from a video? Say I want to cut only the A no Arashi segment from D no Arashi, is there a program that does that?

I haven't had such problems lately, but some time earlier I had - with few files only, though. I earlier searched information about this, and seemed like everyone had the problem after formatting their computers.

You can use VirtualDubMod for example. It's a very useful program. You simply select the start frame and end frame, and save the file as "direct stream copy" (if it's avi-file).

Yup, as DaisyX said and as the section description says, it's under cleaning. I will have it opened in few hours.

Ok, I DLed all the parts of Marathon, connected them with HJSplit, and used 7z, as explained. When I went to watch the file it says "some portions of this file can not be played." Then it plays the sound but no video. It does this in both RealPlayer, and Windows Media Player, and it will not play anything at all if I try with Virtual Dub. Did I do something wrong or is there anything I can try to make this work? I have had this problem with other things I have downloaded too, where the video part will not play, for example the recent Music station performance.

It kinda sounds like a codec problem (we used x264 again). Have you been able to play our subbed files encoded with x264 before?

Is the filesize correct? In kilobytes it should be 1 433 510.

That Virtual Dub part I didn't quite get. What do you mean it will not play anything? 'Cause it's not a player.. Or do you perhaps mean VirtualDubMod doesn't show the video/frames even if you open the file with it.

EDIT:
I googled and found this:

C00D1057: A portion of the file cannot be played

Windows Media Player cannot play a portion of the content that you selected because it requires a codec that either cannot be downloaded to your computer or is not supported by Windows Media Player.

By default, Windows Media Player downloads codecs automatically when they are needed to play a file. You might receive this message if the feature for automatically downloading codecs was turned off.

To automatically download codecs

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. On the Player tab, in the Automatic updates area, select the Download codecs automatically check box if it is not already selected.

After you complete this procedure, try playing the file again. If the audio or video portion of the file is still missing when you play the file, it might require a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player.

So it was about missing codec. VLC player includes x264 codec wink

The funny/messed up part is every time I would try to play it in Windows Media Player the player would say "Downloading needed codes" but then still would not play. Thanks for all your help though!
