but FLAC is lossless so in theory is identical to the CD it's come from, MP3 is compressed so must lose something somewhere. that said, it all depends on what you're listening to it with and through as well

depends of level of confidence in tinkering with programs i guess, i’m only suggesting a standalone program for simplicity sounds big for a DVDRip, are you using 5.1 audio or something? mine usually come out 1.5-2gb, i always convert to the max spec of my equipment. i have nothing better than 1080p or Dolby stereo, anything above that is a waste of HD space and processing time. if my equipment changes i can always re-rip. BluRay obviously is larger.

i would use DVDDecrypter (old prog but still works fine) to rip the DVD to computer as Handbrake wont remove the css encryption on commercial DVDs without fiddling, then use Handbrake to encode as mkv using the General - HQ 720p setting (DVD is not that res, but it will give less stuttering on transitions and panning). allow around 7-10gb minimum free space per dvd on your computer to work with, if you have more space you can batch encode a few at a time in a queue. we take a small wallet of USB memory sticks to the boat filled with films ripped from our DVDs, on our old circa 2006 Samsung TVs they play flawlessly, on our two year old Ferguson TV on the boat they have a weird audio problem as for some reason the TV will mute the sound on areas of silence in playback. some equipment just works better than others. other options to playback are mentioned above, all depends on what works easily for you.

most modern TVs will play back .mpg or .mov type files, some better than others. does your TV have the facility to plug in a USB stick and browse the contents?

this was around 1985, and i’m not telling ?

it was her trademark over-reaction to things that didn’t fit her moral code, she once did similar to a Ford-vehicle-titled grumble mag she found stashed under my mattress. thing is it must have taken her ages, she never said anything just left the pieces where she’d found it. i will admit to spending several hours trying to tape it back together, but failed miserably

i had that poster on my wall for approx 5mins until mum saw it, pulled it down and tore it into 1cm squares

was just going to suggest the same stuff

i think AirBnB operate differently to your traditional B&B setup, don't you usually get the entire property to yourself?

only once, but the air of cardamom and coal jus were a bit beyond my skillset

get with the times Athy lad, that's what is commonly known as a "deconstructed breakfast", it's all the rage nowadays, i blame Heston Notsobloomin'tall

didn’t spot one, but to be fair we did watch half of it on x6 fast forward as the wife became annoyed by Bergerac’s narrating so it may have blipped past.

they do have some newly-created water access points in the roof

well spotted technically it doesn’t state a wet one either

? thank-you for that term, not heard it before, it’s made my afternoon

yes, you sound very reasonable

“Stunning narrowboat with 6 births. Rustic and basic but very beautiful with access to the outdoors and a slower pace of life. As featured on BBC 2 s My Unique Airbnb!! Feed swans from the hatches and have a Bath while watching the trees. A wonderful environment for adults and children to unwind in. There are bunk beds for children although adults can stay on the bunks too if required! There's a futon double bed and also a front cabin which offers more privacy.” wonder from where the hot water for the bath is coming from? or do they mean actual Bath and it’s hot springs?

in my youth on my BMX i’d have seen that as a bunny-hop challenge, no way my fat arse can hop the MTB that high now even with the suspension locked off ?

is it the second or third one down that blows water up your trousers from a vent if you’re not careful where you stand when opening the ground paddle? ask me why i know
