Windows 7 - Old and New Software

OK, there, I finally did it, if someone wants to keep up the discussion in
here.  :-)

Yes, there is old and new software.
Any other questions?

ROFLMAO!!
Oh, but you did raise an interesting point, and something the other OP was
evidently unaware of (or at least, the benefits of such).  :-)

What is the answer to that question?

42

You've nailed it once again, Paul!  ;-)

Ah, but does he realize that the question was
in base-13 arithmetic?

LOL.   Does anybody know what anybody in here has been talking about?
I can only think in binary, base 10, and hex, however.  So maybe I am missing
something here....

Speaking of old and new software, I did find some pretty indispensable
relatively new tools out there, if anyone is working with restoring video
files.
(But some of these are not the very latest versions, and they are not free).

Cyberlink Power Director 9 (to me the best, all around, video app)
Magix Movie Edit Pro 17
Movavi Video Converter 10 (slightly dated now)
VideoReDoPlus (for mpg files)
SolveigMM Video Splitter

Some of the older builds of XMediaRecode (a freebie) work well, too.

LOTS of useful information over at the www.videohelp.com website, for anyone
who is interested in this area.

Bill, it is well known in some circles that 42 is the answer to life,
the universe, and everything.  Bear in mind, however: "There is a theory
which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is
for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by
something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory
which states that this has already happened."

LOL.   I probably should be afraid to ask, why 42.
This reminds me of the mystery surrounding area 51.   Or something like
that.  :-)

Lest you remain puzzled: it is all to do with a series (originally a
radio series, which was the best, but also an LP, book series, stage
show, towel ...) called The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Although
there is been much speculation as to why Douglas Adams (THHGTTG's
creator) chose 42, I think he is on record as saying it was not anything
special. It has somewhat more than a cult following, especially in the
UK.

(42 is the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and
Everything. But no-one has yet established what the actual question
was/is.)

That's an answner for:

Is it? Are you sure?

You forgot "film".  You let Bill off the hook.  I was wondering how long
it would go on before he actually looked it up for himself....
especially since the Guide is one of the top Google responses to a
search of "42".  :-)

He has a long history of not looking things up for himself, preferring
instead to be spoon fed from others while he makes up statistics. You
might have been waiting a long time...

Actaully Char, I have looked up some things for others, on various occasions.
Not saying I do it often enough, however.  And in the Win98 group, probably
well before your time, I was helping others with quite a bit of that, on top
of a lot of my own "clinical" results (like fixes for that windows explorer
hanging when deleting a large number of files).  So do not lecture me on
spoon feeding.

Probably an eternity.   But if you give me another chance, I might get out
of my rockin chair and look it up.   But that will distract my yellin at the
kids on my front lawn, so let me rethink it.  I do not see the big deal.
I have certainly looked up and explained things to others.

Just having a little fun, Bill.... get back in the chair (unless those
dang kids are back on the lawn!)
