Let me first say that I think this site is great!With that said, I also have a complaint. I read the live feed updates to be informed as to what is happening in the house. It bothers me that some posters go beyond mild editorializing and inject their personal feelings and negative opinions of certain houseguests into their posts. If these posters feel Jamie is "thick", a liar,two-faced,etc. could they please be told to post their opinions on the messagae boards. There are any one of a number of anti-Jamie threads to choose from.Thanks:)

I want all of you who take the time to post the HG conversations what a GREAT JOB you're doing !! WOW !!!!

I would've already been trying to help out,
but, I'm not able to download the real-player & access the live-feeds.
So, I at least wanted to give a thank-you
for all the time & labor that goes into it !

I shall not mention my cats or my children again. I apologize that they were mentioned in my posts and wish not to distract anyone. Since someone posted (and I wont mention a name either) that it distracted them with my mentions of them in my posts I will cease to mention them.

Thank You
Fanny

By the way, the poster at 7:12pm on Monday was wondering what song Eddie was singing..."I got the horse right here, his name is Paul Revere" is a line of a song from the musical "Guys and Dolls" by Frank Loesser. Eddie really has a wide-ranging knowledge of music.

I know people go to the Live Feed area to read just what is going on in the BB house, but sometimes it can get boring for the posters when nothing is going on and there is an inclination to just add something for amusement.

I personally think that if the posters are here doing all that work to help out others who can't be here at the time, I am just not going to mind if they occasionally go off the track and throw in an occasional personal remark.

I so appreciate all that take the time to post to keep us all up to date and I try to help out myself when I can, so I know how much work it is and would never be critical to anyone who is giving of their time to help out.

One thing is for sure.....we are all definitely BB fans....and this has been fun...I'll hate to see it end.....and well, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents....even though I can understand both sides.

BB Group Hug to All :)

First, I want to thank everyone here!! I tried to do the transcribing twice...I do not have a fast connection, nor am I a very good typist. If there are other ways I can help, please let me know.

I looked all last night for the proper place to post my comments and left without doing so for fear I had put it in the wrong place. I just posted it in one area, but now I have found this one. Please forgive me for putting it here also...any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your understanding of my being a twit. :)

I have noticed in the last 3 or 4 days a few new transcribers that post conflicting reports to what the regulars post. I have been so discouraged by the ill will on the message boards in AOL that I don't go there often. I also noticed a false negative posting here about one HG was then posted exactly on the AOL message boards and referred everyone here. Thank goodness, some of your regular posters gave us the facts...alas, the slander was done. This is the one place I have enjoyed the entire time because of the wonderful HONEST people here and have told any and everyone about it!! Please check the new posters against your regulars. I love this sight because I get the feeling of being in the house with your wonderful writers....they are very evocative. Thank you all for giving us a place to enjoy things in a positive manner and the facts, not speculations. Kudos to everyone that has been working so hard and with great humor!! Peace, light & laughter to all!

Hi I would like to know if there is any way you can get pictures off of real player. Sometimes when you loose the connection there is a nice pose of someone on the screen. Anyway that you can save this to your hard drive?

Also, how about the featured video streams? Is there a way you can save the whole short movie to your hard drive?

Thanks. E-mail me at MsDeborah43@aol.com if you can help.

hehe - thanks lilith, the name of the program used to run this board is 'discus' I must have been spacing it out ;)

next a post answering bdeb6643's question. The answer to both is 'yes' you can do both.

ok - the easy one 1st.... and I am addressing it for PC users (not sure of the steps for mac users - but I bet its easier).

wanna pic of your real video screen?? make sure it is the 'selected' window (the bar on top of the player should be blue - not gray - assuming you are using the default colors). Now, hold down the 'alt' key and then press 'printscreen' (if you want to capture a picture of your entire desktop don't hold down the alt key.

then, open up Microsoft Paint, and choose edit, paste. There is the captured picture!!! You can save as a bitmap & you are set.

btw - there are several programs that will capture images for you & save them to a file, one such program is called 'hypersnap' (shareware).

OH, one more possible thing which applies to this and capturing vid from real player, IF the picture you see in the capture is black, edit your preferences in Real Player and uncheck 'use optimized display' under the performance tab.

(the next one is MORE involved)

Very WELL said Watcher ! I agree with you 100%. I've thought the imaginative, funny and postive comments made by the posters when things are slow in the house has been fun to read ! I'm amazed at the keen sense of humor of some of the posters.

I don't even mind if the posters mention
things about their kids or animals. It makes everyone aware that some people are taking the time to post all this stuff for people like me that doesn't get a chance to get on the internet until late evenings and catch up with all the events of the day !

Again I say ... just how much I appreciate
the people that post all the houseguest
conversation ! Thank you !!!

Ok, here is how I have managed to capture live Real Video streams to an AVI file (which you can convert to an MPG with free software).

I use a program called 'hypersnap' (shareware), it simply captures an area of your screen to an AVI file. So I set it to capture the video area. It will also capture sound and so I get that as well (you have to play with the sound settings to match what BB sends audio at).

FIles can be BIG - even with a small vid window 1 minute of vid will be 10 megabytes (converting to an MPG will cut the total in roughly half).

good luck!!!

I think on a Mac (not on one right now) it is Shift-F3. If it doesn't work (please post if it works :)) I'll post for sure in the morning.

Amen, Harmony! It =is= a lot of work. I make a ton of typos, I know, when the conversation really gets going. =That= is bad enough, and I'm usually too busy to go back and correct them :(

What are we going to do when the show ends? I'm getting so used to typing like a lunatic every night now!

Capiche is another simple screen capture program that copies an area of the screen and can be used by any program that can paste an image from the clipboard. It is like a transparernt window that can be sized to fit your Real Player video screen. Just click the X to copy image to clipboard. (make sure Real Player option in not set to "always on top" when capturing "pictures.") 188KB, FREEWARE from Freeware32.com

Umm.. have no other place to put this but, HEY DILLIGAF... your post today, talking about Josh, and his "little general" you said little does he know his little general is plastered all over the net from the other night.
OK< I give, where is it plastered? do you know this for sure? I would like to know if you could back up your statement. Or did you say that in jest. That is one heck of a statement to say if it is unfounded. Thanks

Bunny - I'll help out Dilligaf on this one, because I wondered the same thing --
Not that I normally look at such pictures on the Internet, but I did find Josh's trampoline fun, along with pictures of Eddie in the shower too. It was in the General Discussion area, under the topic 'Josh's trampoline screen captures'. The url is http://raygardner.com/bigbrother1.htm

Hey Ya'll!
I just wanted to drop a quick note to thank all the people who post the transcriptions of all the happenings on the live feeds. I've been reading them for the last three weeks and have to admit that I now read the transcripts more than I watch/listen to the live feeds. Your work is greatly appreciated by this BB addict.

Also, for Bunny--Dilligaf is correct about Josh's photo from "nekkid trampoline" being posted on a few sites now. Two that I know of are the Big Brother Sucks site and the www.bigbrotherupdates site. They both have links to photos of both Josh doing nekkid trampoline and of Eddie in the shower from later that very same evening. Don't go to those sites unless you are prepared to see other, ummm, stuff that could burn eyes!

Thanks you guys, I really appreciate the info. Not really wanting to go see, but more for just the "idea" that it did get all over.I understand that it did. Thank you for correcting me. I apologize to Dilligaf.

I will also add a THANK YOU to those posting the live info. While I can watch from home, my work computer does not have a sound card so I rely on you guys to fill in the blanks. Thanks !!
