Did anyone see the video of a school bus monitor being bullied by a group of middle school kids? Absolutely heartless and cruel to watch.

Saw this on the local news, sad, very, very, sad.  Those kids are nothing but a bunch of pathetic a-holes.

Another reason why I dislike a lot of other people my age, they are so ignorant.

I watched this video on TV earlier. I feel so sorry for that lady    Why must kids like that be so cruel and mean? I hope they go to a boot camp or some kind of hardcore detention facility

I could argue this is the real problem in our society and this world.  Nothing else matters if we're unable to get along with each other.  I feel it's the biggest reason I have so much trouble making friends and being lonely so much in my life.

I did see that video, I couldn't watch past 1:15 because it was so cruel and disturbing. I feel so sorry for the woman, but a fund has raised over $300,000 to donate to her, originally to fund her a vacation, now it's enough that she could possibly retire.

She's making almost 400k now from the fundraiser money. Seriously makes me think what parents teach their kids these days.

What really inspires me is how calm and patient she was. If it was me, those kids probably would get the lesson of their lives.

It sickens me when I hear stuff like this. I don't understand how people can have the nerve to mistreat people (especially the elderly) like that, .

Kids and teens like those really need to learn how to treat people as they themselves wish to be treated. It's a simple concept, but apparently that's too much for some to grasp.

It's because they don't know better and don't care thanks to the parents who should be teaching them those values from an early age and enforcing real discipline when they don't listen.

Nice storm just came through with a rainfall rate of an inch an hour and gusts to 60mph. Branches are down here and there, some of the tall trees in my area are bent now due to the strong winds. The streets are completely flooded as well.

EDIT: After looking around, I noticed that there was lots of large branches and trees down. Lots of traffic lights out.

We got a popup call about 3 hours ago but the sun was still outside shining.

Please excuse the double post but I was finally able to get the videos I wanted to WMV. The only problem is that the files are too big and I wanted to trim them down to 25MB so I can email them back to me as a backup.

However every time I go to WMM and try to save the files, it'll go no more than 10% and I get this message: "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again."

The videos play fine on WMM. I have enough free space and the original source files are still there. This is making me mad.  I've done everything and I still get this error message on all 16 of the videos I'm trying to save. They ranged from 8 to 10 minutes in length. Do you guys know what else could be the problem? Could it be WMM having an issue processing with the file? In any case I am planning to install VirtualDub and use that to process my videos. Would you guys recommend it over Movie Maker?

[Mike M]

Victor, ANYTHING is better than Movie Maker. It gave me enough headaches so I gave up on it like two years ago.

[Localonthe8s]

Well I never had any major issues with it until now!!

I would recommend using VirtualDub with XviD, but seeing how your Slingbox records in the .asf format, it wouldnt work because none of the Windows media formats are supported by VDub
