Hey,

I haven't gone on IRC in a few days and just noticed something weird. Unilke usual, only four people showed up and the usuals were missing. What happened? Is it just my mIRC?

It's possible... It happened to me once. I couldn't see anybody there, but they all were. They explained me what had happened, but I guess I am too female and too brazilian to understand that kind of american-web-mIrc language! :lol: Why don't you try to PM one of the usuals? They could help you...

It's still there...sometimes servers go down and stuff, in that case, just visit back in an hour or so. I've noticed several servers have had problems recently staying on.

yeah ive noticed only four or five people on at a time. I think there is somekind of virus perhaps in it as ChanServ keeps giving a new address to connect on, i keep gettin endless PMs advertising mp3 and text sites. And also if you look at the top on the irc window it has New Net (irc.eskimo.net) and that ad. changes so i think there must be a virus or something up as i never had those problems before.

There have been issues with Disney-Central. RU42 has created a thread with instructions on a small change you will need to make to your settings:

THats not a virus, its just what address is available at the time, I've had some err..well "bad" addresses with some inuendo in them..or maybe Im just thinking it is when its not but it sure seemed like it. But I can't serve on there anymore for some reason so I think there has been something going on with mIRC, so I don't go there anymore I think 3+Gigs of downloads is enough for a while.. ^^

Hey,

I asked this in the chat but everyone is away

So I want to burn all the ride videos I have to dvd to play on the television..this is possible right? If so do I need to do anything special other then having a dvd burner? This is most likely the dumbest question ever, I apologize in advance LOL.

You'll probably need burning software to convert the video files into a DVD format.

To burn to DVD you will need DVD authoring software - where you pick the videos to burn, design a menu, then burn and finalise the disc.

I use another way normally - videoCD or VCD. This uses regular CD-R and I use the NERO software package to do so, but there are countless others out there. Since the majority of videos from Disney Central IRC are MPEG-1 (VDC Standard), burning to MPEG-2 (DVD standard) won`t give you any better quality. VDC`s play in 99% of DVD players, and are a good (and cheaper) alternative to DVDs. Plus, with a good MPEG-1 video, the quality can match VHS. Have dig around this site (particularly the FAQs and how to`s):
