I LIKE floppy lock, it gets my vote!!! Have you heard about the new Bobbit Computer Virus? It disables your hard drive and leaves ya with a 3-1/2" floppy! :D

I've also seriously considered a Home Theatre PC, I've played around a bit on my desk top pc just to test the water before committing some cash. My big hold up has been with the remote control/DVD player software - so far the couple remotes I've tried have been kinda clunky. I've used...

As of a month ago current firmware was available, I haven't checked since then but I will shortly. I dunno if the 1655 firmware would work on the 1650, I don't own a 1655 so I've not really paid much attention to the 1655 posts. I'll dig a little deeper over the weekend and let ya know what...

Wow, I guess it's just where ya live. There were very few DVD burners around here four years ago, but in the last two they've became common place -> basically about every new system sold has one. And like you observed, most of them around here aren't really being utilized as burners either ...

Hi Whisperer, I hang around the forums a lot and I used to do computer service so I get a lot of calls from friends and friends of friends and I don't run into too many older burners. It seems that they've really taken off in the last couple years, heck even my 71 year old mother's new...

No truer words have been spoken! :clap: I just thought that I would mention that if you are buying your discs at a local retailer and are buying the same brands each time that in reality you may not be getting the same discs. Many brands simply buy discs and relabel them as their own and...

Mine are facts and they are easily duplicated if one wants to verify them for themselves. It's nothing personal, I'm just tired of the "burn slower for better quality" myth. It seems those who perpetuate it always speak with authority but yet can never back it up with facts, it's always...

Then you will probably eventually just waste time reburning from the originals and money replacing discs! It's just that simple . . . it's quite possible to get a burn that looks good when viewed originally but in reality has lots of errors and will be intolerant of any type of media...

If you think it's wrong then you aren't following rule #8 which is Verify afterwards and test your burn! I've never seen an 8x burner that burnt anything but 4x media better at 4x! Period. I lurk about on various forums and I've never seen any one with an 8x or faster burner post a scan of...

good advice, except for item #4 "4. Burn at 4x max (8x on really good media). It only takes an extra few minutes." 4x, even when that post was mde in 2005, is a bit slow and will probably result in more errors on the disc. It just depends upon your burner, but most like 8x with 8x media...

What's 30 min? Time I -don't- have! I agree with SlyFox1 - I prefer an matched system of products that I'm sure works and if for some reason it doesn't I know it will be fixed very quickly - all I gotta do is report it and wait for the fix. Shrink, DVDecyrpter, etc. aren't even in...

I dunno about the DVDs the 321 Studios software creates, but for the standard commercially produced discs I dug up a text file on the net that outlines how to use some software called VOBblanker to remove the unwanted screens. Pickup a copy of VOBblanker, then print these instructions out and...

Nope, that's a myth! There is no one-answer-covers-all response for this question. It just depends upon your burner, it's firmware, the media you use, even the batch of the media you are currently using, etc.. The best bet is to get a burner that's capable of reporting error levels to...
