[CGUYS] DRM Dead? Was: [Re: [CGUYS] List Future [Was: CGUYS.ORG Footer Updated]]
On an exciting note Walmart's Music download page offers MP3 files for an added $0.06 which rids us of that intrusive DRM. I found that my Sansa would loose its DRM info if it was not hooked to the computer and synced occasionally(once a month). All songs without DRM were unaffected. I hope this is the end of DRM songs. The only question is, will they let me pay $0.06 to remove the DRM from the songs I purchased in the wma format? We can only hope.

Rev Marshall, This may be a blessing, remember that song Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. They would probably be a bother if they did come, so here is my solution. The $186 Panasonic BL-C111A MPEG-4 Network Camera is a wired unit that can pan zoom via remote user input so if they don't like what they are looking at the they can adjust it themselves. http://www.buy.com/prod/panasonic-ip-cam-mpeg-4-pan-tilt-nic/q/loc/111/204222626.html It has a sibling that is wireless for $100 more. http://www.buy.com/prod/panasonic-bl-c131a-wireless-mpeg-4-network-camera/q/loc/101/204222627.html The camera just needs an static IP address and Panasonic gives you a website where the camera streams its data to and the user can control the the camera from the website. It has day/night capability's. It does 30 fps at 640x480. MPEG-4 Network Camera # Pan, tilt and digital zoom with presets # Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG # 1 lux color night view mode # Up to 30fps CMOS # Full screen monitoring # Built-in microphone And when your done with the wedding use it for live sermons for those who have a hard time getting out of the house on Sundays. ;-) Good luck, Mike http://www.buy.com/prod/panasonic-ip-cam-mpeg-4-pan-tilt-nic/q/loc/111/204222626.html Rev.

That is not my worry it is all the other stuff and making sure it works and keeping it going. I will be a little busy during the wedding so I will not be able to tend to the electronic end. My feeling is the making of a DVD is much better, much less stress, and it can be taken care of AFTER the ceremonies are way over. My in-laws are the ones who want the live feed, because they are too lazy to travel! (I know strike with 40 lashes but that is what it comes down to.)

Few churches have a wireless network handy. I hate to travel too (and it's no small expense for some people), and I hate pomp and circumstance. Especially for people that get divorced/married every few years (50%). The chances of me watching your unedited live wedding feed wouldn't be real great. Just send them a DVD when the editing is finished. MUCH more entertaining and they can fast forward through it. Rev. Stewart A.

Re: [CGUYS] Internet Web Cam
Just wondering what you thought about the cameras I recommended. It sounds like you really do not want to spend any money on them and that is OK.

Her family has visited us only a handful of times and since we moved from the north never. However they travel in winter all the time to see his children (Both were married and lost their spouses so two sets of children) My wife's sister lives in town and they almost never see them. My B-I-L moved to Alberta (Ft. McMurray oil boom) and gets back occasionally. My wife is only child to live in the states so we just don't get to see them. But we take the time to do so. My mother is 78 and travels all the time, her parents are a few years younger but claim not wanting to travel. My family is closer and we see them 1-2 times a year. They could fly here. We are only 4 hours from Atlanta and we do have service from Atlanta here. But it is a family preference not to travel here, so we put up with it, (does not mean we like it. Have used weather enticement but they like cold and snow, but then again so do I) We do have broadband in the church. Unless someone wants to pay the confiscatory fees to step it up we will live with the 450 kbs up. (The cable monopoly in this area is pretty bad. Plus only one phone company so we have either or, not a great choice. Nothing is really faster unless you pay through the nose.)
