  1. Continuing Jeremy's post - it depends on the source and output files you need, desired picture quality, speed of conversion, etc. For my tests, I produced a 50 second clip with a lot of motion into a VOB to keep as much of the original PQ as possible. I have been running that clip through conversions with varying settings. After I have a few samples, I view them on the TV that I am going to be playing them on most. Once you find optimal settings for your source, your work is done right? Nope, there are so many things that can be different in your source material that may look terrible with the settings that worked well for the last conversion. There is a lot to read to find what will work best for you. As was already mentioned, I also have found Doom9 and VideoHelp to be excellent resources for video conversion.
  2. I would suggest looking at the job market in your area (local newspaper, monster, dice, etc.) to see what employers are looking to hire. You might also check with employment agencies that specialize in tech-related fields and ask some questions. However, having a certification does not guarantee anything. I work for a medium-sized financial institution and not a single person on our IT staff holds any certifications - we hire based on ability. I just found out the other day that when I got my job (5 years ago), I was chosen over someone that had an MCSE; when the MCSE was given situations to troubleshoot he always used the Microsoft answer, not what is realistic. I am not bashing certs, it is important to gain experience beyond them too.
  3. As a matter of fact, yes you can get XP to allow multiple remote desktop connections and it works quite well. Here are the instructions I followed and it worked perfectly: http://www.golod.com/2005/10/enabling-mult...r-edition-2005/ If you plan on using RDP over the internet, I would suggest learning how to setup a VPN or use Hamachi to secure the connection.
