What brand/model point & shoot camera can record avi video?
I am looking to replace my old Olympus Stylus point and shoot camera (it's just getting old) but my computer doesn't play nice with the mpg or mp4 video formats for editing purposes. (Tried various programs etc) I have read that the ELPH or the Nikon Coolpix have an AVI option, but I can't seem to find any information as to which models are good.
I have a digital Canon DSLR camera, but I'm looking for something in the middle that's a bit better than my cell phone, that I can just throw in my pocket.
3 AnswersCameras7 years ago1980s Train Movie - Orphan Girls?
I am trying to find the name of the film - basically two teenage girls are orphans (maybe?) in the 1950s/60s northern US. Their crazy aunt comes to take care of them. One girl tries to rebel and fit in with the in-crowd while the other one likes the crazy aunt.
Eventually the aunt and the one girl leave on an adventure - train hoppng and the other girl goes to live with friends to have "normal" life.
It's a very good film and I'd seen it on HBO many times years ago. I can't remember what the name of it is. I think there were a couple of people who have become pretty well known.
Any help would be great!
1 AnswerMovies7 years agoDoes anyone have an invite for thebox.bz?
I have an account, but I can't login - it keeps telling me my password/login is incorrect (which it isn't) I have tried multiple times to get on their irc chat to get help, and multiple times to have my password send to me. and nothing. So I decided I'll just create a new account. Turns out now you need an invitation. So any help would be great. Thanks!
Or if there's another site where I can get the omnibus of Pobol y Cwm with english subtitles.
1 AnswerOther - Internet8 years agoHow deep do the roots of Elephant Ears go?
I have two new plants I bought - Amazon Palm and Black Magic Elephant Ears. I know they are going to grow tall, but I'm trying to figure out how big of a pot I need. Would a large dish type pot be okay (say about a foot deep) or would a need an urn type deeper pot? I can only find height online... can't seem to find out how extensive the roots are.
1 AnswerGarden & Landscape8 years agoWhy was Kipper's name changed to Ianto in the Welsh tranlations?
I am currently learning Welsh, and I am using some children's books as suppliments. I have several of Mick Inkpen's books and noticed that Kipper became "Ianto" and Tiger became "Max". Was there a reason for it? They're names so they should have stayed the same. I dont mind.. I love saying the name "Ianto" as I'm reading the books aloud. I'm just curious.

2 AnswersSoap Operas9 years agoHow can I raise the water temp in my fish tank without power?
Due to the northeast storm we lost power 3 days ago and will not have power for another several days. I have blankets around the tank but the water has gotten quite chilly and the fish have gotten sluggish (goldfish and algae eater) Someone suggested floating warm bottles of water in the tank. I dont need it VERY warm, I just would like it to be not cold. Usually the tank is at room temp, but now the room temp is in the low 50sF.
7 AnswersFish10 years agoIs the Blockbuster in-store rental membership still free?
I'd like to sign up to rent some Wii games before I decide if I want to purchase them or not and I can't find any information on in store membership. On Blockbuster's website it only gives information on the online (ie by mail) rental and that has a monthly cost.
You used to be able to sign up with a credit card that wasn't charged (it was only used if you didn't return stuff or the stuff was damaged) and you paid per rental.

I know you need to keep the water kind of warm, but most of the instructions I've found say leave a lamp on 24 hours. Since I do plan to sleep at some point, I am wondering if a small heater would be okay, or would it make the water too warm.
