Yup i finally believe in hard work paying off... i've been doing a lotta research on converting DVD's into a single 700MB file and i have successfully achieved it. The only thing that bothers me is that i have to wait for almost 4-5hours for the entire conversion to take place successfully. Like yesterday i was awake from 8:30pm till about 1:00am just waitin for the entire conversion to take place. Hmmm... i wish there was a way that the computer could automatically shutdown after a specific time. So all i could do is program the computer to shutdown after the conversion is over i.e. after about 4-5 hours .... WELL GUESS WHAT I'VE FIGURED HOW TO DO JUST THAT.... all i do now is start the conversion at anytime i like... set the clock's event trigger to go off after 4-5 hours and enjoy a good night's sleeeeeep.... ZzZzzzzzz.... by the way you'd have to download an application to turn off the computer at a said time... BRING ON THE DVD'S... and LET-er RIP!!!
