    I am going through with draw effects without my EPR D:

    Also found out that my hard drive is completely bucked so anyone know a fast way to download all the MLP episodes so they are compatible with Sony Vegas?

    Anywhere but here.
    Download Season 1 / 2 in .mp4 format and not .mkv format.

    Unless you want to go through the task of converting .mkv into .mp4 for Sony Vegas...

    Ultra MKV converter.
    Cheap, Free Trial, Fast.
    I used it convert and scale all
    the video so I could watch them on my
    2" wide screen.
    Yup.

    But I watch all my MLP on my laptop anyway.
    Shark's007 codec pack.
    All of the codecs.
    The entire codecs.
    The codecs. All. It is.

    Tyvm GreyOne :D

    Last time I did it I downloaded all the bids off YouTube at 20min a pop so they would be in mp4 format...hopefully torrent download/ this converter will be faster

    DISCLAIMER : lol, bored.

    So, I have nothing to do after my spur of skyrimming.

    Therefore, I will now sequentially say every letter in the alphabet. Into a mic. With it off.

    Ahh... that was refreshing.

    Now, go forth! Bring me amusing trinkets!

    I found a way out of Skyrim, it's a weird thing called the off button.

    So here I am, until I get called back for the next week.

    So many things to do so little time, both in the real world and in Skyrim.

    I need a break though, gotta work on music, I need to get better.

    This thing called the "off button". I do not have one. Well I do, but I'm 99% sure it will harm my PC...

    What do?
