Better Windows File Sync. Best Graphic Cards $200 and Under. Veronica's our new co-host!
HDMI is the standard, but can VGA be better for your HDTV? Portable music players that support lossless codecs. Three Ways to Save YouTube Video.

Veronica Belmont officially joins the Tekzilla team as co-host for the show!!!

Our first question came from Luke who had a question about lossless MP3s and which digital music players support them. The short answer is that MP3's are inherently lossy even at higher bit rates. You'll need to migrate over to Apple's AAC lossless, WMA lossless, FLAC, or APE to reproduce music in a lossless format. To that the the players would be Apple's iPod for AAC, MS's Zune for WMA and Cowon's iAUDIOX5 for FLAC.

We received more than a few emails regarding software that would synch folders between 2 different machines. Although Windows XP still includes Briefcase it's long in the tooth and bit old fashioned. If you want something more recent check out Microsoft's SyncToy and online beta Folder Share. And if you're looking for something non-Microsoft based chcek out Allway Sync

We also received a plethora of emails regarding saving flash videos from websites. Two places to check out are Keepvid and Vixy.net. Keepvid will only save the files as *.flv while Vixy.net will allow you convert the files first and then save, but at a cost of taking more time. Both will not work on certain new flash embedding schemes but will work on YouTube, for the most part.

Blaz had a question on cheap videocards.

“What is the best graphics card for reasonable price like ATi Radeon HD3870 or nVidia Geforce 9600GT?"

Both the HD3870 and GeForce 9600GT are cheap, relatively but on the gaming side a bit lacking. If you don't mind spending a bit more cash checkout an 8800GT based card. They're pretty much the price/performance sweet spot for the moment.

Scott wrote in with a question about HDMI vs VGA for connecting his gear up to his 32" HD monitor. But he also had a question about the MadCatz HDMI conversion kit. Robert's answer on the matter:

“Garnett mentioned that the original Xbox 360 had analog output only, and it appears that the MadCatz HDMI conversion kit converts a VGA signal to HDMI (analog to digital conversion). Considering that an HDTV's component video input performs a similar task (analog video input that's converted to digital prior to display), chances are that you would see no improvement in video quality. For home theater devices that offer HDMI output, we do suggest using that port when possible (with a TV that offers HDMI input) as it will provide the best image quality. Otherwise, don't waste your cash on (usually) expensive analog-to-digital video converter products - component video (and VGA) remains the best analog video connection. “

Anthony had a question about a TV tunder box for his Widescreen PC LCD. Robert recommended:

The Elgato HDHomeRun HDTV Tuner. For a full review go to PCMag.com. ATI TV Wonder™ HD 650 Combo PCI Express® - Overview, also check out Home Theater Computers section of AVS Forum - a great resource and something I dug up online somewhere ;) Best Tuner for multi-path and/or for weak over the air broadcast signals - a tie, either the OnAir HDTV GT or the Fusion RT Gold

JR had a question about getting a 37" flat panel TV in the $1000 range for his dad. He also wanted to know about over the differences betwee over the air and cable/satellite HD. Robert suggested:

Lots of options at that price point! Vizio are Westinghouse are known for providing good image quality at low prices... Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp, and even Sony squeezes under the $1K mark (if you shop online). I think highly of Sony and Sharp models...go Sharp if more savings is needed. You may be able to go to 42" with that budget! (search Amazon.com for "37 inch LCD HDTV")

" There's ups that -- Phyllis sponsored by that Blix. -- dot com coming up this episode Rogers replacement is nearly a full time totals. Why it you might might not be the best way to get your your connected to your PD risen about saving YouTube video for posterity. And we're gonna travel in time to went high end portable audio pieces of the 22 glorious Oracle offers various to -- tape deck with. Auto reverse of course -- background so much easily get yourself ready -- Tekzilla starts. Now. -- the Tekzilla undergoes better Norton. And I brought. Are you into a host of instant rock totally surprised I can through hordes all right yeah. The double north and it and it Obama and that's what you rocks hardest to -- exactly. And now we have Veronica Belmont. -- Excited about being the cohost."

" Now -- not so much. Exciting and your question right. Could be your question driven show let's not think the tape out first in the Cristina comes from look -- right -- with it. Which MP3 player supports -- couldn't output the highest quality sound little boy who really elect now."

" it's a great question and it's kind of like we spoke with what lost those audio in his case we haven't. Talked about enough waffles audio is when you basically take. It thinks that the CDs and CD. And there. -- you -- three they see that you may file and it does an approximation of the track. Right so basically this article is this which approximates the way your brain where you're -- sound so they can remove audio from the track. And you think it's the same thing. That's wonderful lossless whether it's did you have a Apple lossless FLAC. Monkey's audio which is a -- I think -- list that animal. Basically -- compression. But -- is all of the original like a smaller version of the CD. An audience. On a -- I. If it's because basically you get all of the music that's the period there it's when you take all of the music versus the various lossless file formats verses which player sounds the best. And everything does that."

" on its purest form because once it -- its compressed. Hi -- and then the sound quality just kind of goes on the window."

" Well exactly right you know look if you're happy with your 128 K encoded MP threes. Enjoy him. Be happy probably that I was deliberately KMP -- I hear you know. Symbols that sound like frying bacon and only -- here to talk to the bush together its a its a little strange right so okay -- a lossless. If you're going for the windows media audio or W -- a loss -- by noon. Apple lossless buy an iPod. And the into the both sound really really you know and I think."

" Critics of the -- via an iPod doesn't sound that great but I sent an iPod but."

" how -- you -- an iPhone or like the iPod classic world yeah."

" Of the as my primary and yet I guess both I think it's stepped down from the regular classic and anyone even further down beat the crap hole. It hits to like and the shuffle and nano are famous for having kind of know he sees."

" The original stuff it was pretty did the original member the white shuffle they have like no displayed on it."

" I can't really known. I don't know why that was like to get him -- the --"

" And of that could put the the that was youth. Players account I think they support FLAC."

" They support -- in a couple of actually supports -- to and then there's the higher audio X five -- blacks support. Yet thinks that people tend to like of one of -- you can do it if you want to get sort of better audio output whether you're working with the Zune or an iPod. -- apparently you actually are ready -- soon judging from your this taste for the."

" Unlike the iPod you -- that I actually can I do you prefer the Brazilians twist navigation I think it's Kennedy who works pretty. But yes I -- and things. Like I'm trapped forever all of my files are an example an iPod."

" Oh yeah that's that we should get into is converting files format to format can be retrieved critic of Russia Britain pain in the focus. So if you don't want to do it over and over again yeah let's talk about the --"

" Aren't currently come back the best way to -- files on one PC with another PC HDTV questions galore and saving YouTube video. You know for that -- talk about that thought. It's time once again for our weekly tech accessory kit."

" Where we share with you that when gadget dismally device makes our lives just a tad bit easier this -- it is Huskies eight -- decisions together. But he called and Jewelers screwdrivers for precision screwdrivers there are necessary tool for dealing with the teeny tiny screws down and all kinds of consumer electronics. Especially notes. Unfortunately a lot of the sets up there are poorly made the candles potential falloff antics that then insert. That's why we like the husky and one -- it very easy to -- humbly taken to six bucks and you get to zero. Double zero zero and one Phillips along with 116. I sixty fourths 330 seconds and money since slug sizes or court said the key for a 60 tips and ET fifteen to. Handles decently constructed and stores its its like music. This is she does those boxes that fall apart and use them except these don't fall apart."

" Other file syncing between desktops this is somewhat pedestrian affair we've got more than a few emails about it so yeah to that represented everyone's concerns. The first one comes from Micah Wright -- I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a program that allow me to copy older. Between my desktop and laptop with relative ease and as windows XP compatible. The just the program and a woman and I click it transfer plus update my audio and video cast between two computers. On the -- And the second email comes from -- I have a home server desktop and laptop as well as a flash drive I'd like to take -- every day. I like to be able to not only sync on the -- podcasts onto the flash -- for work but also make sure certain file replacement -- laptop and desktop as well as backed up on my server. Do you know any solutions for -- to my problem. Now sinking on windows with briefcase most people employed."

" Yes because it's old it's our case an accountant -- updated north kind of slimmed down a little bit the way I'm -- to say you know its business. Welcome aboard you glad to have you think -- my side bus that's interesting because it's a question that we often get and now people think about because its files thinking big deity is a thumb drive copy on there -- can't you. It -- opinion especially if you're dealing especially for example were -- dealing with multiple word documents excel spreadsheets. You know sometimes you get kind of confusing topic he also open up the new stuff. And then you come home -- work -- I forgot it or I didn't copy the right ones over swan song you know bone -- simple you just press a button in the stunned. Now look at -- up Microsoft is after briefcase was still included in. In. You know windows yet -- came out with a separate toy called actually a gadget that device application called sync toy like it. And it's actually article totally free essentially what allows you to do is to sync files between two different machines at the Gateway to really do this is actually had it on the network. Preferably one where you can see both machines actually had this -- it pretty eager to have it. Click create new pair and -- have to do is select and isolate the folders that you -- the folders if you want that particular machine so in this case. The left folder I -- me this person machine -- make it deceitful there could cocaine in the right folder. To be another machine online network that -- could see. Cannot so excuse my thumb drive because that was also mentioned the USB drive which is actually -- where we can move stuff. -- drive and click okay. Next. Now I VCR have all these multiple options synchronize it goes subscribe and contribute combined very confusing what's. And instinct. Synchronized whom I do -- new and updated files are copied both ways and meaning to delete and it basically meaningless. Word verbatim you know and that talented. But if it's on either side of sorry and ridiculous and he just. Does the same thing except that it will not do."

" Element to -- yet it will not be repeated and use to. -- in any case on every really use is that contribute a combined is only deleting stuff. Even old stuff people like do it and I don't because I'm paranoid about stuff I'm going away that I might need because of taxes because of expense forms definitely. And that you know dozens of other reasons. I think what is not the only solution out there there's another one. This is actually clued into me but I -- not too long ago actually six months ago called always think it's also free. Cool thing is they had two versions at one that you can download on here individual machine. And there's one that you can download and install on a thumb drives and just plug and thumb drive Clinton machine you want to double click account launch it and it pops up. So again you select different documents that you want to on one machine in this case again I -- to get a machine my -- thumb drive. Now if I want to change how -- think I just really click on change and then latency property deletion propagate the modifications. It's been doing that is its gonna analyze all the documents that are on my idea. That folder as well as on my thumb drive it's gonna show me and opposite a little bit bigger. Showed should mean what I can move for what you will move -- If you tell me he's supposed to exist so senator okay you know unethical -- sickness bug me about. I'd be ignored. Because it costs a bunch of mass changes in sickness. Does is basically start copying stuff over but the great thing is. We get it working it works pretty darn well I was doing files between this. And my my laptop Peter from my home PC and I was going back and forth who's doin' pretty spiffy job. Now if you want to do something that's cross platform or he's going to deal with the USB key that you don't have these machines network locally. He can do this through the Internet and other Microsoft product. You're thin and if it's just haven't been big expensive to begin. -- They actually have a product called. -- Although windows live folder -- So funny on this site and and essentially what it does is that creates kind of this virtual sync mechanism online. And you can seemed to either personal libraries you can sync things to share with other people you've shared libraries. And then of course remote access if you when he gives today. That's client or -- some sort of access to files that they need to lecture on graphic artist you -- know they're -- thinking of get and you've set up a special. A folder anything and it's really isn't what you said it surfacing folder this is actually sync with my neck. You just basically log in and you instinct of the folders that you want so. If I had. A folder on my desktop again folder sync and then one almanac. And -- both contain you know the files analysts think it's gonna look at them say okay. -- start typing this openness are hoping that over and -- doesn't automatically you can't say that to do automatically order if you're paranoid you."

" Yeah totally paranoid -- I I would want to give someone access to drop box and then maybe -- accidentally put some kind of you know. Piracy software in there computers aren't radically downloads it's my machines I would."

" in particular trust comes in and that's one of I don't mean. -- You collect like -- from CE yes."

" You know my favorite part about coming to conventions like this getting all the press kits on the little USB flash drive -- can -- you know what cleaning use for yourself."

" Anyways I know these are great solution another thing to remember that though is that even though they're automated they do require you to kind of natured and eyeball. Because sometimes and this is often what I do I. Mislabeled. Finals because and and hurry. And when it thinks it it doesn't always think the way wanted to because it mislabeled files -- it and see him. And in the see him. I didn't notice and they changed it to not -- upon and he."

" Aaron if you accidentally always be cognizant of the things that your. Yes feeling especially when syncing because I've lost content that would at times so bottom line I -- a giant in those --"

" Try training them out but if I agree it's really -- to see -- I actually like the windows -- hurtful and not all that they -- publishers acting beta so it works well right now so when the released version I can only say trust of yours. Aaron Aaron well anyways Veronica I think we need to actually help to pay. For all the new stuff that's getting for the shift."

" Alvin your stuff yeah and I take this moment to get the shadow of one of our sponsors it's time now for our Netflix sponsored movie -- of the week. And isn't comes from our very own. This week's -- profits. But it the first scifi movies ever made this two -- silent film was released in 1927. Send -- to still be in future of the year 28 27. -- far off.

" I accept questions require -- little more insight and Patrick -- I can provide. So they reached out okay Robert heron piece in India he became well -- thank you my worlds colliding indeed kind of -- we we visit each other frequently are you ready for some assurance. Shoot I Scott a couple of questions about eight can't Mayan PGA he writes I'm teasing us Samsung LCD to be as my primary monitor for my PC. Like PC through EMI port with -- I -- my cable or should I go to the PGA input which appears to be dedicated for PC is also that I isn't that cats in my adapter instead of that component output from a 368. The -- my PC."

" Awesome and I'll tell us -- a lot of stuff going on there. Well I took a look at the TV to specific TV has the forty and Samsung and offers true 1080. 1920 by 1080 pixels generally -- he's will allow you to then use the digital input. Namely HDMI and get a full pixel for pixel match from the computer so ideally that's gonna -- about what ago for the PC you're gonna lose -- in my ports. And it that is a problem you can always go to to mediate but because it's a digital input using HDMI -- gonna get better clarity and better. Better presentation of the image on the screen. And because attending. Over scan of the image for you lose the border of the picture due to just oddities and how the display is protecting it's image now there will be setting you'll have to deal with within the TV itself to. Eliminate that over scanned but it's really defined and it's really isn't that that would be how -- connect to TV to that. The computer to the itself. Now as far as as Xbox 360 goes yeah. He's currently using I believe he's -- using VGA output -- an older Xbox and taking it is losing these on the PGA adapter port or the component video adapter. That's going to be the best way I've looked at the Madcast product before and -- consulted with some of my gaming experts as far as the -- side of things goes. It turns out that original Xbox is actually -- putting an analog signals that even if you've got. The -- adapter all it's doing is an analog to digital conversion for you. Whereas every HDTV will do that automatically just by. You know using connections that are provided so you're not gonna -- image quality benefit by using an adaptor product that would convert that externally that analog signal to digital so. The best things to do in that case well if you can't use the VG and put on the TV because odds are it will take you 1080. From the Xbox 364 all content -- upscale dvds. Which normally you can only do for you can list with -- Xbox 360 and component video output. And probably you're getting into the 1010 and Islam. And stay there and what was that third part of --"

" But they didn't get enough of ridiculous plus protecting -- and is something in the middle won't. The -- think we got a."

" Appeasing easy parts stick with your digital input. Essentially stick with the digital don't you converter products and in the case of the 360 you're probably using component or did you stick with those those ultimate."

" Cool excellent. Very sound -- our next question comes -- Anthony Johnson okay you recommend a TV tuner box for a widescreen display 1680 I 1050 resolution on outlet. I want to buy a card or box for my PC but I want optimal display for my new twenty inch widescreen LCD else."

" Moon. Well any tuner card product that you put in a computer is gonna put an image on your screen and the video card will take care of that scaling. Regardless of what resolution the channel your watching ends of the program are watching the Democrats can take care of making that look right on your television so you don't have to worry about. The resolution of the display versus the input of the signal -- all that kind of stuff you really just looking for. Good a good tuner card at this point I really like -- doing there 650 series HDTV tuner cards provide. Very sensitive to -- so if you're dealing meet your long distance from the towers that transmit the signal. -- hope it goes up -- deal with multi path reflections or other problematic. Antenna style environment that will help a lot there's also there are plenty of terrific HDTV tuner products out there right now -- want to came up Tom -- Recently looked at a new product from all gone of the guys that do Mac software Mac related to new products they actually have one now connects into your home network. So that anywhere you have connected network connection for all your computers you can run some software and then look at received television program that way. It will also work online as well it's a lot say like slingbox would which is really cool really convenient then then of course if you're running something like. Media center or whatever you can -- is usually -- cards right into the software as well so politically internationals for."

" Excellent do you wanna I feel okay you want me that I'm a question -- any of the rules that could I have a question is from JR and it's a true partner to us and Mexican -- questions so. That if I can do I want to ask about your suggestions for an EDT -- from -- he's looking for 37 inch model you 1000 dollar range. He doesn't make it part of the home theater system. And -- blame you could talk a bit about the differences between getting HTTP over the air versus your cable satellite provider."

" Thousand dollars -- 37 inch panel is a terrific that you have a great but that's not a tight budget to work with you have a lot of options. -- you can go online to somewhere like say Amazon.com type in 37 inch. There's an inch LC but you're gonna get a ton of on great. -- I really need for budget well not really is that you could. You could I personally consider if you can't fit a 42 inch and a model and that space you would probably want to consider that because thousand dollars you can find some models out there that are in that price as. Namely -- Westinghouse your videos. -- values right there but if -- have to be a thirty inch screen. Pretty much any brand is available here at this point the world it certainly is it is and so my favorite city companies are going to be like Sony Sony for -- they do color better than anyone right now. Sharp also delivers exceptional contrast really dark black levels really bright picture for good value so. I think visiting my top two picks you can find several models within those categories that'll fit them budget hand. And in that in terms of the differences in what the program is you're gonna receive. Well over here is digital quality as well as well it will become 2000 and -- hasn't. Then everything will be digital at that point but for right now you can either use the integrated -- in the TV. -- external box product actually satellite and some cable box is actually include built in over the air to yours as well. Essentially you're gonna get similar image quality with all three I would say in my own experience I've found that. Cable and satellite delivered slightly more compressed. Viewing quality in terms of it looks little block here -- the littlest detail than you would get from over the air -- there really hasn't and with restrictions so. You can deliver the full quality HD signal which is about twenty -- Second is kind of in eruption with the signal when it going on there candy. And what I've seen everything from somebody operating an appliance nearby and that's causing electrical interference causes pops in starters in the signal. Just oddities it could be the weather -- you know determine how good or not here's -- look at how consistent that receptionist. Ideally would want if you're gonna do that full time you really want to consider getting good antenna overpowered antenna that wouldn't listen on the roof or somewhere we haven't had the best line of sight again. Two hours. Now there's a great -- with other for looking up that kind of information in what what channels are available to you over the air. Or what antenna should use for particular situation antenna web dot org is a terrific place to go you just type in here's a code. It gives you and it gives you maps he could tell where he lived to tell you what channels are available. You know what -- Republicans need panic situation as well however like here in the Bay Area. Most of the time line of sight unless you're living in a basement somewhere too aggressive who are -- Thirty or -- in -- constant trouble you can that you -- have some problems that it that's -- becomes more dependent on the quality of the -- itself in terms of picking -- those channels. As far as selection goes. I -- you want the greatest selection of HD channels going I've looked at lots of different programming options for different carriers and I'm finding the satellite guys in particular the direct TV folks and --"

" Absolutely. First up Scott was archive -- media the right thing to show us how to capture video from YouTube dot. That is very popular question why is an -- new world."

" People. Are you know. Reasons. That Clinton puff there it would know anything about just in case it disappears."

" So we -- here as far as that it will -- see -- and good --"

" And excellence nice previously popular top favorites."

" Actually this particular who's gonna want. To figure it. Looks and maybe post the thing that. Some thanks for repulsive gravity -- And -- all right so we got this right. You talk about another website that in this."

" Well there are. That they can use sixty is my personal favorite part that you break into government you can use -- PW. And he. In 1980 I that's another one just. The -- Hopefully the most directly you can find and it mostly YouTube -- issues and it -- other embedded flash sites. And then YouTube is much more money this. And Mary and adds it into. Here. And it takes awhile for me to resolve this accident like copy that we write are. Pretty much. It's -- and -- for his ass but it's. That -- I was technically and we'll just two person it's like a VCR. This tour itself. Another really good one it's same kind of the theory that the button. And then this exodus."

" what they know it'll do FLP and the MP 400 MP four high quality but reality is its gonna be. You know every rendered Adobe file and -- and -- you're gonna need to fill the player play it though. My personal favorite stuff for this disease Firefox plugin called video download helper. And installs this little as an in the corner here and so from on the video page it basically use this to everything that's on whoops let's. Stereotypes."

" It shows on the available media that's embedded in a pinch exactly. Look at that there were gonna look. And a lot of people don't use this to think about as much and it doesn't really work for YouTube videos but if there's an embedded video. Like quicktime file -- on a website if you're using a browser like Firefox you can go into. Two loss. And then paint and and then the media attack and and then you can usually scroll down and leave behind they die and me well and it and hit. So like it right. Now it does it is don't you get him that's so cool. So we worked for flash or you could again that tells me it. Works -- much for it. --"

" Our final email comes from delays in the great nation of Slovenia. -- looking at ways -- that. He's interested in picking up. -- new video card and asks what is the best graphics card for a reasonable price like. Radio. 38 Sydney or Nvidia geforce 9600 GT."

" Okay so it looks like he's got the sort of 200 dollar price range there didn't. So -- what you want to do you for gaming poker low -- kind of weather and Europe on the 400 dollar graphics card got a guy would obviously works. Or if you're at 200 dollars graphics card kind of gal or an SLI basically. Those are both actually really good article 200 dollars if you're looking at stuff. And pull up my Chichi here executive model it's otherwise flexible around 150 bucks is dividing lines like little or camera just for fun. That should have the flu I'll. At least he's now the."

" There is money and then and 600 this higher version of that US TE. Thing."

" Well I'm gonna keeping focus because otherwise I -- possible extensions it will and waxing what do they do those I'd be really careful when you're buying it doesn't matter if it's Nvidia or AMD. They'll have like very subtle variations on the street that are extensions on the me an extra care what he really gets count especially in the life and the prices have dropped it. If you look for something like under a hundred bucks. That's barely gonna play a lot of modern games but it's going to be heaps better than -- onboard graphics that came with your systems like Intel integrated graphics.

" it's a great question and it's kind of like we spoke with what lost those audio in his case we haven't. Talked about enough waffles audio is when you basically take. It thinks that the CDs and CD. And there. -- you -- three they see that you may file and it does an approximation of the track. Right so basically this article is this which approximates the way your brain where you're -- sound so they can remove audio from the track. And you think it's the same thing. That's wonderful lossless whether it's did you have a Apple lossless FLAC. Monkey's audio which is a -- I think -- list that animal. Basically -- compression. But -- is all of the original like a smaller version of the CD. An audience. On a -- I. If it's because basically you get all of the music that's the period there it's when you take all of the music versus the various lossless file formats verses which player sounds the best. And everything does that."

" on its purest form because once it -- its compressed. Hi -- and then the sound quality just kind of goes on the window."

" Well exactly right you know look if you're happy with your 128 K encoded MP threes. Enjoy him. Be happy probably that I was deliberately KMP -- I hear you know. Symbols that sound like frying bacon and only -- here to talk to the bush together its a its a little strange right so okay -- a lossless. If you're going for the windows media audio or W -- a loss -- by noon. Apple lossless buy an iPod. And the into the both sound really really you know and I think."

" Critics of the -- via an iPod doesn't sound that great but I sent an iPod but."

" how -- you -- an iPhone or like the iPod classic world yeah."

" Of the as my primary and yet I guess both I think it's stepped down from the regular classic and anyone even further down beat the crap hole. It hits to like and the shuffle and nano are famous for having kind of know he sees."

" They support -- in a couple of actually supports -- to and then there's the higher audio X five -- blacks support.

" Unlike the iPod you -- that I actually can I do you prefer the Brazilians twist navigation I think it's Kennedy who works pretty. But yes I -- and things. Like I'm trapped forever all of my files are an example an iPod."

" Oh yeah that's that we should get into is converting files format to format can be retrieved critic of Russia Britain pain in the focus. So if you don't want to do it over and over again yeah let's talk about the --"

" Aren't currently come back the best way to -- files on one PC with another PC HDTV questions galore and saving YouTube video. You know for that -- talk about that thought. It's time once again for our weekly tech accessory kit."

" Where we share with you that when gadget dismally device makes our lives just a tad bit easier this -- it is Huskies eight -- decisions together. But he called and Jewelers screwdrivers for precision screwdrivers there are necessary tool for dealing with the teeny tiny screws down and all kinds of consumer electronics. Especially notes.

" Other file syncing between desktops this is somewhat pedestrian affair we've got more than a few emails about it so yeah to that represented everyone's concerns. The first one comes from Micah Wright -- I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a program that allow me to copy older. Between my desktop and laptop with relative ease and as windows XP compatible. The just the program and a woman and I click it transfer plus update my audio and video cast between two computers. On the -- And the second email comes from -- I have a home server desktop and laptop as well as a flash drive I'd like to take -- every day. I like to be able to not only sync on the -- podcasts onto the flash -- for work but also make sure certain file replacement -- laptop and desktop as well as backed up on my server. Do you know any solutions for -- to my problem. Now sinking on windows with briefcase most people employed."

" Yes because it's old it's our case an accountant -- updated north kind of slimmed down a little bit the way I'm -- to say you know its business. Welcome aboard you glad to have you think -- my side bus that's interesting because it's a question that we often get and now people think about because its files thinking big deity is a thumb drive copy on there -- can't you. It -- opinion especially if you're dealing especially for example were -- dealing with multiple word documents excel spreadsheets. You know sometimes you get kind of confusing topic he also open up the new stuff. And then you come home -- work -- I forgot it or I didn't copy the right ones over swan song you know bone -- simple you just press a button in the stunned. Now look at -- up Microsoft is after briefcase was still included in. In. You know windows yet -- came out with a separate toy called actually a gadget that device application called sync toy like it. And it's actually article totally free essentially what allows you to do is to sync files between two different machines at the Gateway to really do this is actually had it on the network. Preferably one where you can see both machines actually had this -- it pretty eager to have it. Click create new pair and -- have to do is select and isolate the folders that you -- the folders if you want that particular machine so in this case. The left folder I -- me this person machine -- make it deceitful there could cocaine in the right folder. To be another machine online network that -- could see. Cannot so excuse my thumb drive because that was also mentioned the USB drive which is actually -- where we can move stuff. -- drive and click okay. Next. Now I VCR have all these multiple options synchronize it goes subscribe and contribute combined very confusing what's. And instinct. Synchronized whom I do -- new and updated files are copied both ways and meaning to delete and it basically meaningless. Word verbatim you know and that talented. But if it's on either side of sorry and ridiculous and he just. Does the same thing except that it will not do."

" Element to -- yet it will not be repeated and use to. -- in any case on every really use is that contribute a combined is only deleting stuff. Even old stuff people like do it and I don't because I'm paranoid about stuff I'm going away that I might need because of taxes because of expense forms definitely. And that you know dozens of other reasons. I think what is not the only solution out there there's another one. This is actually clued into me but I -- not too long ago actually six months ago called always think it's also free. Cool thing is they had two versions at one that you can download on here individual machine. And there's one that you can download and install on a thumb drives and just plug and thumb drive Clinton machine you want to double click account launch it and it pops up. So again you select different documents that you want to on one machine in this case again I -- to get a machine my -- thumb drive. Now if I want to change how -- think I just really click on change and then latency property deletion propagate the modifications. It's been doing that is its gonna analyze all the documents that are on my idea. That folder as well as on my thumb drive it's gonna show me and opposite a little bit bigger. Showed should mean what I can move for what you will move -- If you tell me he's supposed to exist so senator okay you know unethical -- sickness bug me about. I'd be ignored. Because it costs a bunch of mass changes in sickness. Does is basically start copying stuff over but the great thing is. We get it working it works pretty darn well I was doing files between this. And my my laptop Peter from my home PC and I was going back and forth who's doin' pretty spiffy job. Now if you want to do something that's cross platform or he's going to deal with the USB key that you don't have these machines network locally. He can do this through the Internet and other Microsoft product. You're thin and if it's just haven't been big expensive to begin. -- They actually have a product called. -- Although windows live folder -- So funny on this site and and essentially what it does is that creates kind of this virtual sync mechanism online. And you can seemed to either personal libraries you can sync things to share with other people you've shared libraries. And then of course remote access if you when he gives today. That's client or -- some sort of access to files that they need to lecture on graphic artist you -- know they're -- thinking of get and you've set up a special. A folder anything and it's really isn't what you said it surfacing folder this is actually sync with my neck. You just basically log in and you instinct of the folders that you want so. If I had. A folder on my desktop again folder sync and then one almanac. And -- both contain you know the files analysts think it's gonna look at them say okay. -- start typing this openness are hoping that over and -- doesn't automatically you can't say that to do automatically order if you're paranoid you."

" Yeah totally paranoid -- I I would want to give someone access to drop box and then maybe -- accidentally put some kind of you know. Piracy software in there computers aren't radically downloads it's my machines I would."

" in particular trust comes in and that's one of I don't mean. -- You collect like -- from CE yes."

" You know my favorite part about coming to conventions like this getting all the press kits on the little USB flash drive -- can -- you know what cleaning use for yourself."

" Anyways I know these are great solution another thing to remember that though is that even though they're automated they do require you to kind of natured and eyeball. Because sometimes and this is often what I do I. Mislabeled. Finals because and and hurry. And when it thinks it it doesn't always think the way wanted to because it mislabeled files -- it and see him. And in the see him. I didn't notice and they changed it to not -- upon and he."

" Aaron if you accidentally always be cognizant of the things that your. Yes feeling especially when syncing because I've lost content that would at times so bottom line I -- a giant in those --"

" Try training them out but if I agree it's really -- to see -- I actually like the windows -- hurtful and not all that they -- publishers acting beta so it works well right now so when the released version I can only say trust of yours. Aaron Aaron well anyways Veronica I think we need to actually help to pay. For all the new stuff that's getting for the shift."

Shoot I Scott a couple of questions about eight can't Mayan PGA he writes I'm teasing us Samsung LCD to be as my primary monitor for my PC. Like PC through EMI port with -- I -- my cable or should I go to the PGA input which appears to be dedicated for PC is also that I isn't that cats in my adapter instead of that component output from a 368. The -- my PC."

" Awesome and I'll tell us -- a lot of stuff going on there. Well I took a look at the TV to specific TV has the forty and Samsung and offers true 1080. 1920 by 1080 pixels generally -- he's will allow you to then use the digital input. Namely HDMI and get a full pixel for pixel match from the computer so ideally that's gonna -- about what ago for the PC you're gonna lose -- in my ports. And it that is a problem you can always go to to mediate but because it's a digital input using HDMI -- gonna get better clarity and better. Better presentation of the image on the screen. And because attending. Over scan of the image for you lose the border of the picture due to just oddities and how the display is protecting it's image now there will be setting you'll have to deal with within the TV itself to. Eliminate that over scanned but it's really defined and it's really isn't that that would be how -- connect to TV to that. The computer to the itself. Now as far as as Xbox 360 goes yeah. He's currently using I believe he's -- using VGA output -- an older Xbox and taking it is losing these on the PGA adapter port or the component video adapter. That's going to be the best way I've looked at the Madcast product before and -- consulted with some of my gaming experts as far as the -- side of things goes. It turns out that original Xbox is actually -- putting an analog signals that even if you've got. The -- adapter all it's doing is an analog to digital conversion for you. Whereas every HDTV will do that automatically just by. You know using connections that are provided so you're not gonna -- image quality benefit by using an adaptor product that would convert that externally that analog signal to digital so. The best things to do in that case well if you can't use the VG and put on the TV because odds are it will take you 1080. From the Xbox 364 all content -- upscale dvds. Which normally you can only do for you can list with -- Xbox 360 and component video output. And probably you're getting into the 1010 and Islam. And stay there and what was that third part of --"

" But they didn't get enough of ridiculous plus protecting -- and is something in the middle won't. The -- think we got a."

" Appeasing easy parts stick with your digital input. Essentially stick with the digital don't you converter products and in the case of the 360 you're probably using component or did you stick with those those ultimate."

" Cool excellent. Very sound -- our next question comes -- Anthony Johnson okay you recommend a TV tuner box for a widescreen display 1680 I 1050 resolution on outlet. I want to buy a card or box for my PC but I want optimal display for my new twenty inch widescreen LCD else."

" Moon. Well any tuner card product that you put in a computer is gonna put an image on your screen and the video card will take care of that scaling. Regardless of what resolution the channel your watching ends of the program are watching the Democrats can take care of making that look right on your television so you don't have to worry about. The resolution of the display versus the input of the signal -- all that kind of stuff you really just looking for. Good a good tuner card at this point I really like -- doing there 650 series HDTV tuner cards provide. Very sensitive to -- so if you're dealing meet your long distance from the towers that transmit the signal. -- hope it goes up -- deal with multi path reflections or other problematic.

" Excellent do you wanna I feel okay you want me that I'm a question -- any of the rules that could I have a question is from JR and it's a true partner to us and Mexican -- questions so. That if I can do I want to ask about your suggestions for an EDT -- from -- he's looking for 37 inch model you 1000 dollar range. He doesn't make it part of the home theater system. And -- blame you could talk a bit about the differences between getting HTTP over the air versus your cable satellite provider."

" Thousand dollars -- 37 inch panel is a terrific that you have a great but that's not a tight budget to work with you have a lot of options. -- you can go online to somewhere like say Amazon.com type in 37 inch. There's an inch LC but you're gonna get a ton of on great. -- I really need for budget well not really is that you could. You could I personally consider if you can't fit a 42 inch and a model and that space you would probably want to consider that because thousand dollars you can find some models out there that are in that price as. Namely -- Westinghouse your videos. -- values right there but if -- have to be a thirty inch screen. Pretty much any brand is available here at this point the world it certainly is it is and so my favorite city companies are going to be like Sony Sony for -- they do color better than anyone right now. Sharp also delivers exceptional contrast really dark black levels really bright picture for good value so. I think visiting my top two picks you can find several models within those categories that'll fit them budget hand. And in that in terms of the differences in what the program is you're gonna receive. Well over here is digital quality as well as well it will become 2000 and -- hasn't. Then everything will be digital at that point but for right now you can either use the integrated -- in the TV. -- external box product actually satellite and some cable box is actually include built in over the air to yours as well. Essentially you're gonna get similar image quality with all three I would say in my own experience I've found that. Cable and satellite delivered slightly more compressed. Viewing quality in terms of it looks little block here -- the littlest detail than you would get from over the air -- there really hasn't and with restrictions so. You can deliver the full quality HD signal which is about twenty -- Second is kind of in eruption with the signal when it going on there candy.

It gives you and it gives you maps he could tell where he lived to tell you what channels are available. You know what -- Republicans need panic situation as well however like here in the Bay Area. Most of the time line of sight unless you're living in a basement somewhere too aggressive who are -- Thirty or -- in -- constant trouble you can that you -- have some problems that it that's -- becomes more dependent on the quality of the -- itself in terms of picking -- those channels. As far as selection goes.
