I've never heard of a DVD player destroying DVD's, but I guess it's "possible". If they have one that is doing this I'd suggest to replace it. ;-) I mentioned before I had a CDROM drive that its laser burned a hole through the case of the drive! (In case anyone is wondering what site Helene is talking about: http://321studios.com/ ). Here's some more links here, http://www.chaplinsociety.com/
Be sure and tell her to be VERY CAREFUL when ordering any of this type of software. Most of the sites are overseas, and steal CC #'s on non-encrypted unsecured webpages, and never even send you your order. (This goes for ANY online order); always right click the page where you give your CC# and look at "properties" and BE SURE it says "encrypted SSL" or something to that effect. In rare cases, the page CAN be SSL and not have the "padlock icon" in IE. And, on the other hand, you CAN have the padlock icon and the page may NOT be secure. So, right clicking is the best way. -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helene Leavitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Mike and Clint. Mike, the reason my daughter wants to copy the DVDs.. is that this way. in case the machine "eats one".. they will not be lost.. (she's got ALOT of trilogys.. as well.. as full collections. and they cost alot of money). When she got married, last year.. we had the Video guy.. make us 3 VCR tapes.. She realized afterwards - she wanted more.. so we copied them.(no problem).. onto a vcr tape.. She wants to be able to do the same thing.. with certain DVD's.. that are very expensive. I know with VCR tapes.. if you truly want to save them.. and not let anything be taped over them.(you take off the little tab on the vcr tape).. but even still .. if your machine.. decides to 'eat one'.. then you lose it forever.(that has happened to me in the past too). With DVDS.. there is no such tab.. and therefore.. if the machine decides to destroy it.(which does happen).. than the expensive DVD will be lost forever. CLINT.. Thanks so much for the site. I'm going to send it to my sister.. so she can check it out.. The program she did see.. was well over a $100.00 and she really didnt' want to spend that.. IF,, there is a free one available.. So thank you. Thanks to both of you. Helene HELENE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
