MPC002a Making a DVD (intervideo) | Play in Popup.
Ever wonder how to take those files on your computer and easily create a DVD? This screencast will be just that, demonstrating how to easily take video files you have stored and make a DVD using Intervideo's WinDVD Creator. WinDVD Creator is a very simplistic application that will allow you to simply drag and drop files into the interface to create your DVD complete with an index Menu and Chapter Menu. This is the first of a series of 3 I'll do on the topic. WinDVD Creator is for the beginner who doesn't wish to create dazzling DVDs, just something simple. The next will be a rather hefty step up to Adobe's Premier Elements. And finally I'll round the series off with my favorite authoring application: Final Cut Express. I do apologize about the multiple downloads. Unfortunately there's an error with application I'm using not being able to render the tutorial and open it in Quicktime for any files over 15 mins. I'm told it is a bug that will be fixed with the next release. SO until then, I'll try my best to limit the tutorials to 10-15 minutes. But this series will have to be done in multiples as I won't be able to scratch the surface of Premier Elements or Final Cut Express in 10 mins. I hope you enjoy. Mike

MAF003--Opera Part 1 (the interface) | Play in Popup.
Quickly learn the interface of the popular web browser Opera. Opera's gone free, ad-free, no payment required, and I'm excited. As of today there's been 1.6 million downloads since it's press release that it's now a free browser. In this, Part 1, we'll go into the interface and give you a glimpse into what makes Opera. For a complete list of the series go here: http://mfarley.us/?p=61. In honor of my fellow countrymen who's suffered through the nightmare of Katrina and those subjected to Rita, I thought it fitting to use for the music the true spirit of New Orleans and the south. So, playing during this tutorial is my favorite jazz musician, Louis Armstrong, playing three of my favorite songs: 'Mack the Knife', 'When it's Sleepytime Down South', and 'What did I do to be so Black and Blue'. God be with them.

MAF001-MasterPassword | Play in Popup.
Using the Master Password within Firefox will help make your passwords much more secure. Being diligent you of course want to make sure you don't use the same password from site to site. You want to mix it up. The problem there is I can never really remember which password I used with which site. So, of course you can use the built-in 'saved passwords' in Firefox--but they aren't encrypted by default. Check this screencast out and see how to set your Master Password for safer browsing.
