Just make it an .mkv.

.mkv is what the community uses to rip anyway. It's near 1080p quality at a fraction of the size. TV shows with .mkv

Get an uploaded.net account (they'll ask for a phone number for a text, just make a bullshyt google voice number and get the text that way), and you're set for both tv/movies and music I got both that and rapidgator, just in case

Release BB is like Big Biz on steroids (no offense to da gawd )

I think the investment into a blu ray software is the most economical over time if you account for your time cost and drive space (although that is generally depreciating). might be able to nzb it

VLC plays blu rays?

I do remember mkv files being one of supported formats
@Dooby its no good?

Vlc player is the best player their is. I have never seen a file Format it doesn't play including blue ray.

brehs, my desktop PC keeps shutting off, it can't be overheating.. my guess is it's a power supply issue. It started off by shutting down whenever I would play a video game but now it just shuts off for no reason, even after just turning it on.

Breh it could be anything. Best thing to do is test the PC little by little. Test ram one at a time, check your case to make sure nothing is caught somewhere, check temperature whatever. I had a issue like this 10 years ago on my first PC and that shyt drove me crazy. My PC would reboot RANDOMLY no matter what I was doing. I could be burning a game, watching a video, idling, etc. I switched out every component on my PC including the motherboard and you know what the problem was?? The freaking case reset switch was the culprit. Whenever it was connected to the mobo it would reset by itself. After I unplugged it(which made resetting via the case button not work), I never had the issue again.

Thanks for the ideas fellas. I'm getting help from my pops and uncle so hopefully we can figure it out

Nah, I don't think it will play it. Win 7 is weird with bluray. It pisses me off that you gotta pay more for something that should be standard out of the box

I may (keyword: may) have fixed my shadow problem by rolling back to an older driver. Can somebody run Heaven 4.0 and let me know if they see jagged and flickering shadows around the boat, like so (it seems other people are having the same problem on youtube, mine are a little worse, but not too much worse):

Thanks

the shadows are a little wonky. similar to Skyrim. both are trying to simulate the movement of the sun/light-source, so they're not 'fixed' shadows

turning off Ambient Occlusion in Heaven also got rid of some of the wonky shadows for me. I have a love/hate relationship with AO. sometimes it looks good, but sometimes it just looks like a 'black glow'. and sometimes it can kinda 'flicker'

edit: I just realized I got Heaven 2.5

edit 2: 4.0 seems pretty much the same, with some added DoF effects

Thanks. I'm gonna transfer over borderlands 2 and see if I still have the same problem as before. Fingers crossed :

I ran Heaven again with AO off, but the shadow problem remained. I didn't realize AO caused so many problems. I always thought it made shyt look cool. But, if it's gonna fukk shyt up, I guess I gotta disable it sometimes

it's not always a bad effect. I think sometimes it's just kinda 'tacked on'. there's also different versions. I think in Far Cry 3 I liked HBAO best
