Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The next step up from iDVD is DVD Studio Pro. Toast 6 Titanium also deals with burning DVD's and will build menus and layouts. Not sure what you are looking for, but those are the two options that pop to mind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought you said you already had the mpg, Hec?

I thought I did, but it was just the aborted download from Bit Torrent.

However, I got Global Frequency (which did indeed kick ass. I can see the Miranda Zero fanfic generating on the horizon as I type.) from P-C putting it at You Send It. I got the VLC from your link which ran it.

And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog. Thank you all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

VLC is really a good program.

And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog.

Give it back!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

DirecTV breaks TiVo.

What are you looking to do with the alternative?

I'm trying to burn video files to a DVD that can be watched on a regular DVD player. iDVD says it's working then it freezes. Which I discovered is "normal". I was told it only looks like it's frozen, it's really working. Except that after 12 hours of "working" but not looking like it's working, I had to abort the process for fear of my laptop melting through the coffee table.

I fear I may have to just save the files to a DVD and apologize to the party in question.

Kristen, if these are the files of which I'm thinking, do you want me to burn the ones I have to DVDs as DVDs, and you send the rest as files?


Kristen - Jun 13, 2005 12:19:01 pm PDT #3320 of 10003

Yes, they are the ones you are thinking of. I have 11-12 and 17-22 off of my DVR so those are fine. It's 13-16 that I need.

Hmm. Don't know about those -- I'll check. Or, if you want, you can give *me* the files, and I can burn the DVDs.

Sounds like Toast Titanium 6 will do what you want it to do and perhaps give you a bit better feedback about it than iDVD.

Netflix question:

Has any non-major-city-area Buffista noticed an increase in time for Netflix DVD-getting?

For awhile I had a 2 day turnaround, and my DVD's were going to a PD box in Rochester. This last one took 1 week, and came from Texas!
