But it's a heck of a lot more convenient to create a bunch of duplicate CDs/DVDs with "Christmas 2005" written in Magic Marker and pass them out to family/friends. Done properly, such a DVD can be used inside a plain old DVD player, to be viewed by groups of people, or the technically challenged. As for "freeing up ... hard disk", I agree, that's the *worst* reason for doing this. Unless OP is poor and lives in the 3rd world. But then, does he have a DVD burner, and do his family/ friends have DVD players? - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFBArdS9HxQb37XmcRAmeeAJ96fOC56Xnps3EZGgNaEk30Lr9gDwCdEqo9 89cF/+5Qb/8RpBkBA/M3sNg= =YwKv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
