Thanks to all who responded to this query. I have a lot now to mull over. Currently the thing I use for a computer has no Nero apps installed, isn't recognizing any RW disks, but will show the files on them. I just can't, Delete, Format, or Erase the data on this media. (at the moment)
I'd love to have a separate DVD recorder/player, that handled ALL formats whether it is a shop movie, or a recorded VHS copied to disk, as with any captured video from the computer - Without question! It is a mystery to me how things got this bad with DVD use. I mean if you had the same restrictions placed on a Car: (this car can talk) 1 So you want to go to work - sorry you've used up that destination 5 times last week. 2 You can't pickup that 19 year old half-naked female hitchhiker, until everything in the vehicle is removed and destroyed. 3 Turn left - no no no - you got to read this disclaimer you won't turn communist first - then I'll consider it! 4 Turn right - same as above - promise you won't sell anything etc... 5 Turn off - your joking, right? 6 Go faster? - Faster than what? - just 2 speeds here stop and not stopped. 7 Turn on - when I'm good'n ready buster! 8 I don't like the passenger - so I'm not going anywhere while him/her is in the car! 9 In a normal car you can check the tires for wear - not this one, you just skid outa control when one wears out. 10 The cars window wipers won't go unless it rains harder, or won't stop for unknown reasons. Well, if cars were like DVD recorders - they'd sell? Anyone say they had a car like that will be shot ;) Regards Robert McCurdy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 1:04 AM Subject: Re: DVD/CD is stuck > At 07:47 AM 8/6/2006, James Button typed: >>if you're one of the very careful, you can take and compile the source >>code yourself > > Oh, you mean something like this > =========================== > REGEDIT4 > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Dir\command] > @="cmd.exe /c dir /o/n/s >c:\\temp\\dir.txt" > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Dir\command] > @="cmd.exe /c dir /o/n/s >c:\\temp\\drivedir.txt" > > ========================================= > > Copy everything between the rows of equal signs & paste into notepad > then save to dir.reg then launch it so as to add "Dir" to Explorer's > Context Menu ? ;-) > > Not exactly compiled tho but maybe even better as we use to say in > the military, KISS.
