    Time to move back away from the alcohol and other chemicals (though they may be fun); we're communicating among humans (at least I hope I am).

    ddp,
    Not an actual bear, though the avatar and nick are a topic for joking with friends at times. Hannibal ate more people on tv than the griz. In the real world it is best to give a grizzly (ursus arctos horribilis) a wide berth. Glad they don't inhabit my neck of the woods. Not many of them left in the lower 48 and they're mostly west of the divide (Rockies) and in remote mountainous regions. They're on the endangered species list as well.

    Soph,
    Yep, the brown coloration is a giveaway for a grizzly. Some people say brown bear instead of grizzly. Kodiaks are just a bigger variety of the brown-grizzly bear. They have a better diet than most bears and they can get up around 9 feet and 1500 pounds. I don't think I want one of those in any closed area with me. Those tranquilizers don't always do the best job of knocking those big critters out and I sure wouldn't want to be there when an angry giant bear wakes up.

    18 ft griz? Musta been 2 big Kodiaks, one on the others shoulders. LOL That would have been more scifi than thriller.

    The average male polar bear is from about 900 to 1300 pounds. The big Kodiak bears get up to about 9ft and weigh from 800 to 1600 pounds. Some polar bears occasionally get to about 1700 pounds. So, it's according to whose specs you're looking at. The Kodiak bears and Polar bears are both huge and you have individual bears in each group larger than ones in the other. Take a big grizzly and feed him as well as the big Kodiaks and Polar Bears and you'll have another huge bear. Diet plays an important role in bear size along with heredity. The female polar bears got the short end of the stick, they're only about half the size of the males. I'm glad I don't have to put up with bears like that in my neighborhood. The black bears are enough.

    Oddly enough the Kodiac is much gentler than it's smaller cousin, the grizzly. A grizzly is just one bad tempered medium sized brown bear.

    With the Kodiak, I wonder if the better nature could be from having a full stomach more often? A well fed bear is a happier bear. LOL

    @ shandal

    Next time post in the appropriate forum alrighty? This one is for forum news and announcements, not technical questions. The newest version of AnyDVD can be downloaded here:

    If you require further assistance with your movies please post in our DVD-R For Newbies forum.

    Nephilim is right and requests for assistance would more likely be noted in the Newbie section. To get a good product description you can also go to the website for the product. http://www.slysoft.com That version is currently up to about 4.5.6.2 now.

    I just did a google search for Vobblanker (More precisely, vobblanker download) and guess what the very first result was?

    Give it try and see.

    Seems a lot of people don't pay much attention to the search functions. It would actually be easier to run a search and go to the desired info. Makes you wonder what some people are doing.

    Sophocles may have a point, AD a kinder more gentle place... And the madman runs hysterically into the dark...
