I use My Dvd, I have never messed with DVD burning before. I need help fitting some of the DVDs i have downloaded into a DVD+RW disk. The movie itself is only 700 MB or so, but when I add it to my project it ends up being about 6 GB which is way too much for a DVD+RW CD. Any help would be appreciated, Thank You!

First post here and hope this is the right place, and hope I will be making sense. I apologize in advance for my apparent ignorance. I have a short film that was originally widescreen, but had been converted to fullscreen without cropping the sides when made into an AVI. Thus, the image is "squished" in from the sides. I downloaded the trial versions of Premiere Pro 1.5 and Encore 1.5, and think they have the capability, but I'm not sure how to do it. I also have a trial of TMPGEnc and Virtual Dub, if those would be better choices.

ALSO, if I did successfully convert this film, would there be black bars top and bottom if viewed on a widescreen TV/monitor? Thanks all,

When emerge system gets tries to emerge sash-3.4-r5, I get the following error:

!!! sash-3.x-readline.diff.gz: message digests do not match!
!!! sash-3.x-readline.diff.gz is corrupt or incomplete.
>>> our recorded digest: 43cbfb670d42e6e15b58f3b528f75ca0

>>> Please delete /usr/portage/distfiles/sash-3.x-readline.diff.gz and refetch.

Needless to say I've done the last line several times, but it keeps giving me the same error. I assume the problem is that I'me installing Gentoo without a network connection by copying files to the comp on cd. Anyone know what I can do to fix the above problem? I've downloaded readline.diff from as many sources as I could, emerge rsynced this morning, and I really don't know what's wrong. Thanks for the help,

I've had it with rpm whateveryouwanttocallit.rpm that needs 5, 10, 12, you name it other files before it works and even when you get them sometimes it doesn't work.

Here's the deal, I want to use Linux but I don't have the means to connect to the net with a distro yet, and won't for probably a long while. I've discussed elsewhere why I can't right now and it's not worth going into so here's the thing:

I've tried several distros but all require me jumping on the net at some point on my winderz box to download additional files, which is FINE if it were simple. But my latest experience with mdk9.2 pissed me off to no end, hunting here and there for this rpm and that, oh can't find it on one mirror, time to go into mdk cooker and satisfy MORE dependencies!!!

So I tried Gentoo stage 3 install since I couldn't do a stage 1 or 2 install because THAT would require a net connection.. But I never managed to get my sblive configured with Gentoo, everything else was fine following the stage 3 install.. The problem came in when I wanted to get additional files and had to go online and the people I met in IRC regarding Gentoo just wanted to comment on how "that is a strange way of doing it" by manually downloading updates. Sure it may be odd, but that's the way I HAVE to do it right now..

So tell me, is there a simple way of using Gentoo and d/l'ing updates on a Winderz box and transferring the files over via CD-ROM? (I have the transfer of files part down I just need file links)

What URLs do I need to bookmark? Any special tips? I am more than pissed with my experiences with mdk9.2 and I'd like to switch back to Gentoo. But with my Linux box not being connected to the net it's been a real pain in the ass to find one distro that works well NOT connected to the net!

Thanks for reading, I appreciate any helpful replies.
