I've discovered how to do something today. It has brought a very silver lining to my otherwise dreary days at home. Today, I learnt how to burn divx files into DVD and CD formats!

See... the point is, I've got a friend who has been supplying me with ENTERPISE episodes which I had missed. But they are in Divx format, so the only way I can watch them is on my computer monitor. Considering that I have a 17inch monitor, it really isn't a bad thing. But... somehow, I just hate the experience. It just feels horrible to sit in front of your computer to watch a show for 45 mins.

Well, today, for some reason, I decided to see if I could convert these Divx files into a VCD or DVD format so that I can watch the episodes using a conventional DVD player and my normal TV. The results were more that wonderful! Heh heh. It takes about 30 mins to convert and burn the whole episode into a VCD or DVD. Then I get to enjoy the episode in the comfort of my armchair and nice big TV. Wow.. pure bliss. So, most of my day today was spent doing that. Watching an episode while another was being burnt.... SHIOK.

OK.. I know this sounds hypocritical, but I really don't support piracy. If these episodes were available in the market, I would gladly buy them. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna be years before they are released. So...yeah... I'm in somewhat of a dilemma... but... for those of you whom I've been 'suan-ing'.. gimme a break... I'm in pain... :-P

Oh yah.. the pain today seems to have gone down a notch. Hopefully, like I said in my last post, yesterday was the peak of the pain... if it doesn't get worse from here, it should take another couple of days for it to clear up. I'll miss going out with some friends over the Chinese New Year, but I guess that can't be helped. Will have to make it up to them after I recover.

Well, this week is almost like a one week break for everyone... so enjoy it!
