2 questions? Seperate hard drive and copying old UVS Project

screwball2 · Post by **screwball2** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 1:54 pm

Question 1:- With a dual boot system, would it be an advantage/disadvantage to install my second (ulead dedicated drive) with Linux instead of XP - pro's and cons?

Question 2:- I made a wonderful (self praise is no reccomendation) dvd as a video/slideshow family tree for my children. I now want to add to it. But, when I copy the previously made DVD I only get the visual, no sound. This is the first time I have copied (or tried) a dvd to ulead 9. What am I doing wrong?
Thankyou in anticipation
Kevin

Re Question 1: I don't recall ever seeing that VS works in a Linux environment. I believe that it is only designed to work in Windows. However, if I am wrong, someone is sure to correct me very soon!

Re Question 2: How do you expect anyone to answer that one? Only you know what the properties of your DVD might be. Anyone else would only be guessing until you gives us the properties in detail, especially the audio part. And also tell us if your copy of VS9 has the letters SE after it. If it does, then VS9 SE is not rated to play Dolby audio... Then again, we also have no idea how you produced the DVD in the first place, and how it might have used Dolby (if indeed it did...)

What is Linux?

This is Linux..http://www.linux.org/. An OS that if MS is not careful, may cost them...

What is Linux?

An operating system that will run in less than 256 MB of RAM, thus more memory for your Application to render images faster.

An operating system that will boot up your PC in less than 20 seconds, so you can get the work done and enjoy your life. (6 - 10 seconds is the norm for most of us)

An operating system that will not "force" you to upgrade your device drivers (to view a picture, to watch a video, to listen to a music file, etc...)

(Note: For those that do not know: with XP, all patches after a certain release, don't have the number with me at the moment, you are NOT allowed to 'TURN OFF' automatic update, if you turn it off, your setting is ignored and the auto update happens anyway.)

An operating system that will not charge you hundreds of dollars for the new operating system when you are forced to upgrade.

An operating system that will let you sleep at night knowing that you will not be 'put out of business' the next day because you were forced to upgrade and when you did, the data files were not compatible. Worse when the data files get converted and will not work when you try to go back to the operating system that will work. (as happened with the #1 financial package on the market a year or so ago)

"Only designed to work in Windows" is a problem for many of us. And is very short-sighted for the future of ANY company, especially a 'for profit' company.

I loved WordPerfect but was forced to switch to MS Word at my office as the office Desktops were migrated to Windows 98. (perhaps Microsoft will experience the same thing when Google Cloud or Air or whatever they call it is realized this year.)

I love PaintShop Pro, just started getting into Ulead and some other Corel products (actually met the founder of Corel in Orlando, Florida years ago back when OS/2 1.3 was all the rage and before they bought WordPerfect and brought it under the Corel banner.) Of course was forced away from OS/2 Warp as servers were migrated over to Microsoft's server OS, NT 4.51 and later versions if memory serves. (Funny the Linux and Unix servers only came down when we brought them down, the same CAN NOT be said with OS/2 servers, Microsoft Servers, Lotus Notes Servers, IBM Servers - though IBM is better than the others...)

I love your products, but will be 'forced' to look for equivalent products in the Linux environment (and there are many) if Corel refuses to keep their products compatible with Operating Systems other than Microsoft and Apple. My preference would be to use Corel's quality products in a Linux environment.

I sincerely hope that will never happen, but fear it may one day.

I will never migrate to Vista, ever. XP and Windows 2000 are the last Microsoft Operating Systems (OS) for me (and I have used all of them even their Windows application).

Why?, simple, A data file created under a Microsoft application running on one Microsoft OS, may not be compatible with the same Microsoft application under a different Microsoft OS.

That's right the exact same Microsoft application, not a different one, not a different vendor, the same Microsoft application, just a different Microsoft OS. And I experienced this between Windows 2000 and Windows XP, not even going to waste my time with Vista.

And it was not Microsoft Office, things are even worse for Microsoft Office users and compatibility between versions, especially for companies that are running different versions of the Microsoft Office Application on different versions of the Microsoft Operating system.

At the end of the day, do you want to be in business or not?

If the application converts the document for you, without your permission, on the fly, you are not in control of your 'data'. Even worse if the conversion is one-way only and you cannot convert back to the older version of the application.

If you are 'forced' to upgrade and cannot say 'No'; you are not in control of your "data" my friend, therefore at the end of the day, you are not in control of your business.

It is that simple!

(Many would distract, don't allow yourself to be distracted, after all whose interest do they have at heart? Hint: Not your interest.)

Yea, Linux must be really fast!
I posted that thread/question on April 10, 2007?, You replied from a Linux machine and it was received on March 1, 2008
Did it take your Linux computer that long to reply after clicking send?
Now that's what I called true Multi-tasking on an 8088!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - I'll check back Next Year to read your reply
