Not to be sidetracking, but Vreel is a replacement for the recently closed stage6...a great video hosting site.

However, Full Quality DivX sites cost a LOT of money for their bandwidth...If anyone would know it's The guys at Divx ,

"[They] created Stage6 with the mission of empowering content creators and viewers to discover a new kind of video experience. Ultimately, the continued operation of Stage6 was a very expensive enterprise that required an enormous amount of attention and resources that we at DivX are not in a position to continue to provide. There are a lot of other details involved, but at the end of the day it's really as simple as that."

Since Vreel is suppostly going the same direction as them, Hopefully the mod/admin of that forum can help answer this question with more detail.

How many types of file?

Literally infinite, as you can make your own unique file types.

Does uploading cost any money?

Generally not. The "bandwith" used in uploading my cost the owner of the site if it goes over a certain amount, since uploads and downloads both consume bandwith, but those that upload or download are not charged.

Is an output device where it translates binary coded information from the processor into analog information you can understand?

Not necessarily. An output device is simply something that takes data out of something else. There are certain output devices that send data to humans. (E.G. A monitor, speakers, a printer, etc.) There are also output devices that simply interact with other electronic equipment. (E.G. A flash drive, a cell phone, an mp3 player, etc.)

Why you use parallel processing?

Parallel processing relies on several different computers hooked up so that each one actually only does a part of the processing (the math) so several different techniques or stages of development get done at the same time (close enuff) hence the name Parallel computers, they run in parallel, at the same time. 10 computers for one hour of computer processing then only takes one tenth of the time or 6 minutes.

It may also be a single computer using number of processors undertaking similar processing simultaneously to complete the task in limited time. For example a radar tracker has one set of estimated or calculated parameters or fore casted parameters of expected target, other set of parameters is directly recorded from the target , advance correction is to be given for estimating next parameters hence parallel processing is vital to reduce the time of processing. Second example is getting hold of terrorists or criminals by using quick parallel processing using facilities like database banking ticketing reservations security entry records property and other such records of the gang . This may be a proposed solution requiring more research.

How can i connect my old analog speakers to my computer?

In the form factor of a pair of right & left (red and white) "RCA plugs", most desktop computers have Audio Out connections that can be used. Like most cell phones, in both notebook and most desktop computers, you will have a "Headphone jack", This is usually a stereo 3.5mm connector.

If applicable, adapters can be purchased that convert your speaker cables(s) connectors to your computers.

How does Direct Access work?

How do you check the integrity of a file you have downloaded?

You are not free to chose the method of integrity check, because file integrity checks are two-step processes:

First, the original owner of a file computes an integrity fingerprint. An MD5 signature is a popular choice, but many other suitable methods are available an in use. The resulting signature is the communicated with you, often not as part of the file itself (embedding the signature requires additional steps to prevent someone from modifying the file and re-signing).

Second, you receive file and integrity checksum. At this point, you have no choice regarding the integrity method; you must use whichever method the originator chose.

The originator will typically be able to advise on freely available tools, or supply such a tool, to perform the integrity checks with the chosen algorithms and attributes.
