Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | To answer your question Wabbit...
I have done nothing with it yet. Save for the last few days I have been really busy and just didn't feel like using my free time to make dvds. I have the version you made on my desktop. I still have some to get out to people who want a version they can play on a regular console dvd unit. This is why we had you scrub the zoning. Anyhooey, I was going to make the rest of the copies to distribute and found that it no longer fit on the DVDrs that i have on hand. |

Or do you just have smaller than 4.7Gb disks? |

What burning software are you using? |

Location: closely held secret | Are you trying to copy the FILES to disk, or are you doing a 'disk copy'?
When you say you 'have it on your desktop' do mean you have the files, or a disk image (like an ISO for example).
If you put the original in the dvd drive, and tell your burning program to copy the disk, it should work. It'll just make a temp copy of the disk image on your hard drive, then write it to the blank. |

Instead of burning from the finder I am gonna trash the current version I have on the desktop and make a duplicate and drop it on to the blank.
The original is showing 4.35 gigs so maybe this will work... |

Come on Jeff.....just whip out the credit card and get a real computer. That should solve the "cache" issue :rolleyes: |

Location: closely held secret | For the copy to be playable you should do a direct disk-to-disk copy. Just copying the VOB, BUP and IFO files won't do it.
If your burning software allows, you can create a 'disk image' on your hard drive. .ISO extensions are common. If you can, then your burning software will probably let you 'copy' that to dvd as well.
But your best bet is to copy it from the original disk. |

Believe me, if there was more decent soft and hardware out there for it, I'd be running Linux at home. |

Location: Midland, MI | What would you call 'more decent' software? I use SuSE 9.3 Pro on my laptop at work, although I admit that I have a VMWare Workstation session going with WinXP a lot of the time. But, that's only because the freaking firewall admin who swears he's my buddy won't set my Linux box up as a Secure NAT client, so I have to use the ISA Firewall Client under windows to get unfettered access to the world...oooh, sorry for the rant...anyway, I seem to do OK with OpenOffice.Org, Firefox and Evolution (for MSExchange...inbox, calendar, contacts). The *only* problem I have is that every time I upgrade the kernel, I have to do a 'make cloneconfig && make modules-prepare' or whatever it is in order for VMWare and Novell Client for Linux to play nice. As far as hardware, this is all running on an IBM T42 laptop, with no problems. It even recognizes my iPAQ and my USB thumb drive. |

Location: closely held secret | Crusty, I was referring to software for what I primarily use my PC for - besides hanging out with other social misfits - which is audio recording, and audio and video editing. I have faith that more hardware and software is coming, but 'open source' seems to take a lot longer. |

Location: closely held secret | I've just found that, in spite of my loathing of M$, there is currently no better platform than XP, when you take into account the choices available in software and hardware.
Macs do some things as well or better, like some audio and video editing. But there simply aren't enough software choices to suit me. I don't want to be a prisoner of a 5% market share.
My philosophy is, if it does what you want it to, it's the right computer for you. If it doesn't, get what does. |
