That is pure speculation.

Also, not everyone may be as tech/information saavy as you are, so don't expect others to be at the same level as you.

[Mhurron]

I didn't realize that it required technical savvy to read a manual; and for what he's asking about, he better be more then your average user.

You know there is a substantial difference between asking for people's experiences with this and then expecting them to do all the work for them.

He basically asked if anyone had any had any on-hand experience.

If you don't have an answer, or don't like researching for other people, THEN DON'T FRIKEN POST. It's that easy.

Some people learn more from actually communicating and getting info from other people, than searching themselves online or in books. It's a well friken known learning method. In fact, 'word of mouth' was the FIRST way knowledge was passed from person to person.

Why is it no matter where the hell you are on the internet, there's always 2-3 people who absolutely refuse to acknowledge any sort of personage other than being completely and utterly independent of others. This is a COMMUNITY WEBSITE based off of a COMMUNITY BASED GAME!

Now that that's out of my system...

There's nothing wrong with asking other people's experience. Thats part of the primary function of a website like this. While researching it yourself is encouraged, sometimes it's simply better to get it from a personal perspective, rather than cold, senseless documetation.

Honestly, reading instructions to this game is a pain in the neck and learning from other people is actually much more fluid. This is why you get questions like this repeatedly. Perhaps we've forgotten that, knowing most if not all of the game's functions and concepts for years on end now.

Patience and tolerance is a virtue much needed in today's FFXI forum community. I used to pride this Website on both of them. However there's a growing list of key people who've simply decided that being rude and short-tempered. Worse yet they don't bother putting such reasonings as to their responses until called out on.

This honestly needs to stop.

And, I took all of 5 seconds to search google and was DIRECTED TO THE OFFICIAL SITE on what he was looking for.

Thank you. Thread over.

Why does it bother you so much?

Aren't questions like these the whole purpose of this forum?

[Hyrist]

And, I took all of 5 seconds to search google and was DIRECTED TO THE OFFICIAL SITE on what he was looking for.

Really? Does the official site specifically say how to record VIDEO GAMES or does it sit there and group all peripherals together? Also, what about transferring data from Tivo to Computer?

You spent what? Five seconds? You still know JACK SHIT about what he was talking about. You claim he's lazy but you did crap to help him out, you just decided to google and link something that looks faintly like what he wants and call it a day.

Just shut up and leave posts like these alone.

Edit:

I just went to the site you said. It hast nothing on how to record from game to TiVo, just how to take TiVo to computer. Next time stop being so cynical?

Personally I would have included instructions from beginning to end. But hell, screw me for liking to help people.

[Feba]

Exactly, if they can find it on google in FIVE SECONDS, why the hell can't he spend the time to look it up himself before he asks?

Nobody here is against people asking questions, that's the main purpose of forums. What we ARE against is people asking questions WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER THEMSELVES.

[InuTrunks]

I just went to the site you said. It hast nothing on how to record from game to TiVo, just how to take TiVo to computer. Next time stop being so cynical?

Really? Because I thought the first step was logical

IE HOOK UP THE DAMN SYSTEM TO THE FUCKING TIVO.

Step by step directions edit:

1) Hook up to tivo
2) record
3) convert to desktop using program I linked
4) convert file using a video converter
5) enjoy!

NOT. THAT. HARD. (And, All I used was google).

Found this
And then this

Yes, and Yes. It also lists caveats related to both functions and narrows the answers down to which series TiVO you can do what with.

[InuTrunks]

additionally if you can't figure out that much on your own, then you have no hope of actually following a conversion guide, honestly this area is not for you.

Edit: Maybe Hyist you should actually READ his quesiton first before making yourself look like an ass.

Does anyone know how you actually get the video from the TiVO to a computer, and what you can use to edit the video?

What I liked him to in my first post does JUST that.

[Fugwarr]

While true that it's not hard to find things on google, you guys come off as dicks, and kinda seem like you're bitching at something just to bitch at something.

Sure you're right, but you don't have to come off as insulting in every post.

[Murphie]

The only people being rude in this thread are the ones who are trying (and failing) to make Mhurron and Inu look like jerks.

[InuTrunks]

See Fuggwar, that's whwere you're wrong. We're a strong community that has been around for a LONG time. This is a trend we've been seeing now for awhile, and frankly it's getting old.

Sure, this KIND of pertains to Final Fantasy XI, but this honestly, is NOT THE FORUM for these types of questions. And, we come off as dicks because the OP did no research of his own (or comes off that way), and that's annoying to a community that's been around for a long, long time.
