Gaz Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 There is a program called VLC that lets you convert video files into different types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since I've done it but I used to use handbrake for this alongside another tool. Could still work but depends on the DVD I believe, some are more difficult to rip now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 DVDFab Decrypter for the ripping of the DVD. Use the free version. The paid versions will convert for you too, but are usually quite expensive. Last time I had to convert to another format, I used Freemake Video Converter and it did a fine job without much fiddling about. Just be careful when installing, as they tag on installation for other programs that you have to deselect, and they keep trying new tricks to get you to install them by mistake. Presumably they get paid each time someone does. There are a ton of similar programs, and it can be an absolute arseache working out which to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2016 or so? Thanks in advance I think the most recent legal download you'll get for free is Championship Manager 01/02. I was sure someone made a stickied thread about where to get it (and get it working), but it seems to have disappeared. I'll work out instructions if you're interested, though. It's still the best one For the recent ones, the disc is virtually useless anyway - all you're buying is a Steam code (www.steampowered.com), which you enter into Steam and it adds the game to your library, which you then download from them. You can pick up copies of older Football Manager titles on eBay or Amazon for £10-£15; just make sure you're getting a new copy that's still sealed as, once the code's been used, it can't be used again. I wouldn't recommend the key-selling sites like G2A, as half of their codes are stolen, to the point that some developers would prefer that people pirated their games so they don't lose money on credit card chargebacks. A few years ago, you couldn't get rid of old copies of Football Manager for love nor money, but it looks like they've jumped up in value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, the game just doesn't work on modern machines without it That should be you about ready to play, barring weird issues with modern machines, which you can always ask about in the Gaming forum on here, as folk are always re-installing CM 01/02. Once it's installed and working, you can search about for patches that people have made to update the game to modern league systems/teams/players. Says a lot that people are still doing that for games like this and Sensible World of Soccer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a pub across from it called the husband creche a few year ago, I do remember that because it was called something else now Husband crèche was Korova Bar, closed now. It's the Bridge Street Social Club (not a real social club) now. Bit of a wanky bar. On 29/07/2020 at 23:42, Raidernation said: Bridge Street? Opposite the Bridge Bar (which if memory serves didn’t use to have a cludgie for the ladies) True. The Grill round the corner was similar. Has a much better beer and whisky selection (and sponsors the North Junior League Cup). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Aye the Grill was one of my very favourite bars in Aberdeen. Stop in there on my way home after a hard day’s teaching for a couple of pints and nips then home for dinner. Often followed by several more beers, a bottle or 2 of wine and maybe a few more nips! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
