well the new dvd is slightly longer than the cd drive..but not to the point i had cable probs.
I didnt realise that there was not a standard size of drives........is this normal? or is it a brand / make / model thing? not a cd / dvd thing?

Everything gets more compact as the technology gets more refined, so it is more an age thing rather than CD vs DVD or brand.

476246 2006-08-06 10:24:00 Well done Beet and welcome to the wonderful world of DVD. Now that you are on board, so to speak, you'll need some ...er...specialised software. Might I suggest DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink as moderately useful.

Oh and just to allay any suspicion readers, I've just managed to create and burn a camcorder tape as an NTSC DVD. Apparently its all in the way you hold your tongue........ :D

Only if she wants to copy movies .
I manage just fine with Nero and PowerDVD but I don't make movies .

Congrats Winston on your movie success . Sacrificing a chicken often helps too . . . :lol:
