Office 2010 has gone GOLD!

In non-grandiose terms, Office 2010 has been RTM...and will be available on Technet on April 22.

I've had that happen before too. I think it is usually bonus tracks that they don't have.

For me, it's always in the middle of the album

Happened to me uploading mp3s purchased from Amazon - 1 track just didn't match.

yeah, it isn't as bad as it used to be. i like the new design, and Facebook Connect is really easy.

so what are the best non-"Ville" facebook games/apps?

i'm also curious to see the facebook email system whenever it comes out.

I really only use the regular stuff - photos, groups, fan pages, etc.

Some people really like Mafia Wars, though.

I haven't heard about facebook email....where did you hear about that?

Interesting. I wonder how they'll do it...I don't have much issue with the current messaging format but wonder how an e-mail system could improve it. Definitely going to keep an eye out for it.

Does anyone here use the DownThemAll Firefox extension? Is so, how does it work?

I go to youtube, for example, clink on the DTA button and get a long list of links, none of which appear to be the video that's playing.

Photoshop CS5 trial is up on Adobe's site.

There is a Greasemonkey script called Keep Tube that works very well. I never liked DownThemAll.

I need a good video splitter for XP. Avidemux is okay, but it's a little slow. Any recommendations?

The Chief · « **Reply #343:** May 05, 2010, 07:01:52 PM »

Virtualdub is what I typically use. Might be a little limited depending on your codec support needs, though.

Yeah, I have that, too. It's great for avi's, but it's definitely limited.

I need something that can split any video file. I heard there was a plug-in for Media Player Classic (or maybe it was for VLC) a while ago, but I can't find it.

The Chief · « **Reply #345:** May 05, 2010, 07:15:41 PM »

Tried using input plugins or the directshow driver plugin? That makes it a lot more versatile. What kind of videos are you working with?

Yeah, but I haven't found a way to make it work with mkv files yet. That's what I usually need it for. I could always convert and then split, but that's a nag.

The Chief · « **Reply #347:** May 05, 2010, 07:29:37 PM »

You know, I've got a bunch of stuff I saved INTO mkv, but I've never had to edit an mkv file yet. Probably a little short-sighted on my part... let me know if you find anything good.

ronnynat · « **Reply #348:** May 05, 2010, 07:36:46 PM »

Avidemux works with every file, but it's slower than the other programs I've used. It's not bad once you get used to it, though.

I know there has to be a better option out there somewhere. I have Sony Vegas here, but I really don't want to have to use that just for quick splits.

The Chief · « **Reply #349:** May 05, 2010, 07:38:20 PM »

How is it slow? Are you just splitting and copying the streams or are you actually transcoding your splits?
