Dmitry;

I have a lot of 8 mm video tapes of the kids that I would like to put on DVD. At the same time I would like to be able to load DVD's and create backups of my data. Guess I have to look with care. :)

>The DVD writer I have is nice (SONY) and it works well as a took for backup (this is exactly why I bought it). But I have a bunch of live concerts DVDs (who has the time to attend real concerts <g>). So I thought it would be nice to set up an old PC, hook it up with my DVD writer and watch the concert while working on another pc.
>But, as I mentioned, because the old PC has a slow (not-high-speed) USB, this PC is useless for watching DVD. :(

>>Just a play on words, “watch my DVD’s at work”.
>>
>>1. Look at the material programmed on the DVD on your video display.
>>2. Look at the DVD’s turning in circles.
>>3. Stare at your DVD’s.

>>Oh well, your comment just hit me at the right moment to get me to smile. I need more of that! :)

>>I am considering an external DVD - USB set up. I had better do my homework - sounds like the results can be not as expected.

>>>I don't know what you mean by "several meanings" (or maybe I am just too tired to think <g>). But actually after all the trouble I can't really watch the DVD. The DVD is external and the computer has a low-speed USB (or NON-HIGH-SPEED) connection. So the sound is very very bad. So I will have to either look at upgrading USB port to a higher speed or just throw away the computer <g>.
