Filmed versions of Vanity Fair : Any recommendations ... ? I'm surprised you didn't mention the 1930's production of Becky Sharp starring Miriam Hopkins. To relieve your surprise, I had singled out a few of the more interesting movie versions available at the public library (I particularly like act...

Taking the advocated position to its logical extreme would require that Americans, Canadians, New Zealanders, and Australians be banned from recording works written in England, including Shakespeare, because they don't have a native English accent. But wait! There's more than one accent in England. ...

Re: Noise Removal= different than wiki
[Audacity] 1.2.6 is the version I run, too, and it suits me. I can't speak to the advantages (or lack thereof) of other versions. I recently tested the Compressor (Effects menu) in both 1.2.6 and 1.3.7 beta. There was no difference I could detect. One new feature I recommend for your consideration ...
Filmed versions of Vanity Fair
Any recommendations -- pro or con -- on Vanity Fair (2004) with
Reese Witherspoon?
While we're on the topic, how about the 1967 BBC mini-series version
with Susan Hampshire?
Or is another of the many versions the best one to see?

my husband read the book and wants to see this, but I understand there's a cat involved and I can't watch a movie where a cat gets hurt or worse. And he claims not to remember what happened to the cat. So if someone could tell me whether the cat suffers at all I would really appreciate it. erin, Se...
I like older films and indies, not interested in Hollywood mainstream junk. I, too, like old(er) movies. However, I enjoy the occasional bite of Hollywood junk food. I also like listening to episodes of Lux Theater , which was a long-running radio show that did 1-hour adaptations of popular films, ...
Jami (anoldfashiongirl) just started a thread on Coraline - The Book . I posted a different version of what's below on that new thread, but since it's more about movies than the book, I'll post it here, too. At Catharine's recommendation above, I read Coraline last week. The book reminds me of the m...

In theory, if the original material is encoded with comparable settings to either MP3 or OGG, the quality shouldn't differ much. Here's a different view, from members of the Audio Engineering Society (see my post above): Ogg Vorbis is more efficient than MP3 and is the state of the art in audio com...
