Computer & Internet Basics

What’s the Difference between DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM?

January 23, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Computer & Internet Basics, Mac & MacOS Help / 233 Comments

Dave, I have just installed a new DVD burner in my computer (a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105 internal drive) and am trying to figure out what kind of blank disks I should be using. There are apparently five different blank DVD formats. Do I want DVD-R? DVD-RW? or ?? Also, if I just want to burn lots of data onto a DVD disk, can I use my Roxio Toast Titanium to do so, or do I need to use a special DVD-friendly app like iDVD?

Dave, I hate to be the last one to the party, but what’s podcasting, and why aren’t you offering podcasts on your site?

Can I have multiple Wireless Routers?

January 15, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Computer & Internet Basics / 18 Comments

Dave, I’m trying to get my local network set up and can’t figure out whether one wireless router will pick up a signal from the other so, say, you could
stretch the distance a wireless signal reaches? And if they do talk to
each other, would it speed up or slow down things?

And a related question: does the distance a signal travels matter, whether the
indoors signal has to travel up from a basement onto a second floor of the
house, vs. having the router on the same floor with computers using it?

Can I share my Internet Connection on Windows with Two Adapters?

I’m sharing an Internet connection with four machines in my office through a Windows XP Pro server. I’ve installed a new Wi-Fi adapter to my WinXP system and I also want to share the Internet connection through this adapter too. Is it possible?

How do I capture an Internet audio stream?

December 29, 2004 / Dave Taylor / Computer & Internet Basics, Windows PC Help / 27 Comments

I seem to recall that I’ve read about some applications for both Mac and
Windows that let you capture a streaming audio source to a file so you can
listen to it later, slice it up, mail an excerpt to your parents, whatever.
Anyone have a clue what kind of software does this, and perhaps a few
pointers to specific applications I could download?
