What kind of DVD do you need to burn videos?
Dvd-r or DVD+r are the most common types of dvds you can use to burn your own videos onto, you can also use a dvdrw which is a rewritable DVD, a dvdr usually says it can hold 4.7gbs of data, but in reallity it only holds just about 4.5gbs after formatting, most ripping software will also rip a dual layer DVD to a compressed rate of about 4.36gbs, so as to accommodate for the finished files to be able to fit on a dvdr, the best dvdr for me is a DVD-r, minus r dvds burn and work better in standalone DVD players as well as in computers, and most DVD burners these days are fully compatible with them, so your best bet is to get yourself some DVD-r's and start the burning, have fun.

Difference between linear power supply and switch mode power supply?
a linear power supply the noise or ripple can be reduced to mv. However it is bulky heavy and inefficient A switching power supply it is easier to filter its output but the hi frequency noise and spikes are not that ease to get rid off. The weight and size can be greatly reduced and the efficiency greatly improved

What are the importance of flowchart?
A flowchart is a tool for your mind. Like all tools, its value depends on the person using it. It provides one way of describing how you will plan to do a complicated task. A flowchart shows what is done when each decision must be made and when to go to each process as a result. There is a saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." A flowchart gives a picture of the way a particular item will occur. It was originally developed for computer programming. In calculating payroll taxes, the program asks, "Is this person married?" The answer is yes or no. If it is yes, the program goes to one rate. If no, it goes to another rate. The flowchart shows all such yes and no decisions. Following those makes it easier to find mistakes in the program.

A system comprised of individual components that in turn make the system a whole
To hear a radio 100 of miles away from the source when the frequency is 1000kc it would require antenna of tremendous size and bulk. So the idea is to transmit a very hi frequency and vary that frequency by 1000kc and then get rid of the carrier frequency and hear the modulation frequency only or 1000kc in this example.
Why is the ring around the power button blinking on your emachines computer?
This signals that the computer is in a standby or "sleep" mode. Most parts of the hardware are turned off by the BIOS until a key on the keyboard is pressed or the mouse is moved.

Are the modem and the codec functional inverses ie could an inverted modem?
No, the modem and codec are not exactly the functional inverse of each other.
teh modem converts the digital data to analog signal by teh modulating part of it.
teh demodulating part of the modem can be used to covert teh ANALOG SIGNAL to digital data....but this analog signal will be modulated analog signal.
the coding part of teh codec convert teh analog signals to teh digital signal .these analog signals are pure analog signals.
Hence teh codec and modem may seem as functional inverses but do not work as so due to teh fact dat the demodulating part of the modem used only the modulated analog signal and cannot process the pure analog signals .
