Recoding is *supposed* to fix that, and did, except it then wouldn't 
play on a DVD player. But, yeah, its a bit tight trying to fit that much 
on a DVD. Need to look at splitting it where it was split already, 
(think the originals where like two 1:30 shows), or just buy the damn 
thing, now that I know where the hell to find it.

Hmm. There is a thought. I tried hunting the registry for where Super 
handled it, but couldn't find anything. Didn't think about looking 
there. What I really need to do is remake my whole system again, but I 
despise having to reinstall things. Invariably end up forgetting about 
something I use, but rarely, then having to figure out how to get it 
installed again. lol

Still. Just bloody wish Nero wasn't so obtuse about DVDs, which is to 
say you can recode shit from video, etc., to VCD or SuperVCD, but for 
some frakking reason you can't do the same with DVD (that I could find). 
Found one case, which I don't remember how to get back to, where you 
could add in a video, but then it refused to add more than one video... 
Nice burner, but the stuff missing from it some times is just hair pulling.

That's part of the problem. Not all DVD players handle all different 
encoding rates, etc. You can encode things in the right standard format, but 
if you go outside the parameters that are required of DVD players, some of 
them might not work.

I usually go through my start menu and my add/remove list and write 
everything down, making sure i have the install media for each before I wipe 
anything out.

Plus, I keep copies of the install media for everything I've bought on a 
particular partition on a removable disk, so I don't have to go hunting. :-)

If you can see that and I can, but Patrick can't what does that tell us 
about Amazon?

I don't know, enlighten me.

BTW If Patrick wants it bought from here I'm willing to do it. I suppose 
it can be delivered to him. I know it can if he opens a wish list.
