I have a small computer that I would like to play movies on. However, it doesn’t have a dvd player.

So, now I’m venturing into the dark world of cracking dvd’s with Decrypting software and then re-encoding the movies to fit the various formats I’m interested in using.

Right now I’m testing this:
DVD Decrypter

You have to do a search for something like ‘download DVD Decrypter’ to find a mirror where you can download this.

I’ve also downloaded this:

HandBrake

Thinking this would solve all my problems. However, this is more of a tool to encode your already ripped dvd’s.

So, I’m decrypting a movie right now. Then I “think” I’m going to use HandBrake to re-encode it to a size I want.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

I also downloaded this:

dvdshrink.org: FREE Backup Solution for your DVD movies!

But I think this all-in-one package might not be ideal. We’ll see.

I’ve been playing around with Google Apps on SageRock.org to see if it might, someday be something for our main site.

The thing I’m working on now is getting the MX records setup for Google Apps in my dns records. (My dns records are on 000domains.com. All of the changes are happening within their dns management tool.

I’ve changed all of the mx records to this:

But I have them referencing mail.sagerock.org. I’m wondering if I don’t need the subdomain of “mail”. I’ll check back in a few days to see if it took this time.

Actually, upon thinking about it, I’ve now removed the mx records for mail.sagerock.org and just directed them all to sagerock.org. I “think” this might be what they wanted. We’ll see.
