Then it sounds like you burned some coasters.
That, or maybe the disks simply went bad. I don't know how old those disks are, but burnt DVD disks have a shelf life. I think it's around 5 years? (but could go bad any time)

Damn...
Well, thanks for the help then BoC.I still think I'll give the lightscribe dvds a go if the only problem is with the episodes being burned or simply the dvds going bad...it'll save me money on ink and the labels if anything.

It might not have anything to do with the labels. Did you try the disks on another drive? My Asus laptop DVD drive is kind of picky about reading some disks. My plextor dvd burner drive on my desktop is finicky too. The DVD drive on my company Compaq laptop reads pretty much any disk.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I tried it once on my very old laptop from Acer and the Tessa OVA I mentioned before did not copy properly (took maybe about 4 tries to get it on the computer). I have a new laptop now from HP and I'm having the same problem with it. I tried out the original FMP! series and was having problems copying some episodes as well. However, I do recall my brother trying out my dvd (the Tessa OVA once again) on his computer and it copied just fine. I didn't think dvd drives would be very picky on the type of disks inserted?

Ho... You have no idea. There are HUGE differences. Generally speaking it's not a bad idea to read some quality reviews/comparisons (I stress quality because I don't mean nonsense reviews without actual documented write/read and error correction tests) before buying drives. The price differences aren't big (unless you are speaking of those pro-Plextors that cost as much as a whole computer) but the performance varies a lot not only between manufacturers but between different models of the same manufacturer.Originally Posted by NM
So, it really may pay off to buy a burner that has good burning performance and a dvd-rom drive that has an excellent reading performance. For, surprise surprise, those two things don't go hand in hand. Burners have a far more complicated technology and mechanics than simple readers and thus they receive a weaker signal from the disk when reading. That's why a carefully selected rom drive will read disks writers reject. I know because I speak of experience, and I indeed bought both my reader and writer based on fine reviews.
Anyway, before you buy blank media, check a site like video help to see what others have experienced with the said media code. I rarely buy dvdr media if I can't check the media code first. That'd be like buying a car without knowing if it's from the year 1982 or 2006.
I've done the lightscribe thing. Burning dvds worked normally, but the lightscribe burn process is really really slow. Like, writing a simple text ring took 5 or 6 minutes. It was up to fifteen minutes for a decently large, readable, distinguishable piece of text. On a couple disks I went fancy and did graphics, and that was upwards of half an hour per disk.
Lightscribe looks ok, but not great. You're better off with a fricking sharpie and a little effort to write legibly, imo. In fact, the last 5 lightscribe-capable disks I burned, that's what I went with for the labels.
Aren't all lightscribe labels just that sandy beige color? Kind of bland to me.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
A friend of mine went through considerable trouble to once burn me a lightscribe disk but I can't say the end results would still be that fancy. Kind of bland, like Animeniax said.
I guess the best looking disks might made with printable disks and a suitable printer. Although considering those printers aren't marketed that aggressively, at least not over here, I wonder if they also have some problems.
I'm looking for an old console game that I once played, but I don't remember it's name.
it had a tank (or some vechile with a gun) that could jump and change the angle of the cannon, and you could jump out the tank and play a little man and shoot up some things.
sort of like metroid, but with less secret areas and upgrades, but still a good game.
does anyone know whats the name of the game, and for which system it was?
DBZ : Blaster Master for NES ?

Hi guys. I'm trying to find this funny tv commercial that I saw quite a while ago. But I'm not sure what country it's from though, since I saw it on the news as one of the "world top funniest TV commercials of 2007" when I was in Japan last Dec 07. The tv commercial goes like this:
Guy goes home. Sees shoes & clothes & underwear strewn all over the floor. Barges into his bedroom. Wife is alone (naked I think?) on the bed, trying to look innocent. Guy opens the wardrobe and voila, half-naked guy is hiding inside there.
Guy looks at the hunky handsome muscular half-naked guy, looks at his own skinny wimpy body, then walks away dejectedly.
Punch line is something like: time to exercise / join some gym membership or something.
Any idea anyone???
Would be great if you could actually find this on youtube. Thanks in advance!
I dont know about the actual commercial, but heres a show that featured the worlds funniest commercials of 2007. Maybe what you're looking for is in there.

I wonder if it's the right place but I'm seeking data on PC Fax function of MFPs
In short I need a multifunction printer which PC Fax function enables me to receive faxes for preview on my comp before printing.
It's an incredibly useful function, but printer manufacturers don't communicate that much on that easy to achieve feature... most of the time it's not available, yet it's a powerful tool against spamfaxes (around 5/day, hidden number, I can't change my fax number...)
I guess spam faxes are a blessing to printer manufacturers, as it cost ink and so on...
If you know of nice multifunction printers with full PC fax function in receive mode, feel free to drop a few words here (I know brother mfps do, but these printers are a nightmare...)
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It might be worth it to just have a faxmodem and software on your PC and a regular printer. It would require you to leave your PC running in order to receive faxes, but would be cost effective versus buying an mfp that has preview software. I think some of the business-oriented mfps have that functionality, but I'd be surprised to see many home units with that feature.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I've searched the external RTC modem solution, the internal too.
Truth is these modems are considered things of the past and do not get much upgrade or anything... all I find is old software and hardware that glitches a lot...
Considering how basic and easy the function is, I wonder why manufacturers do not even think about it! it's so basic, so obvious you may want to attach an incoming fax to your next email... or you'd like to keep trace of your incoming faxes on your comp for whatever reason.
To my knowledge, the only manufacturer I'm sure does this is Brother, but I hate their printers that stop printing when any cartridge is empty and black isn't for example or many other glitches related to their network software....
I tried HP support, but they suck even though their hotline is damn expensive... and they never replied my mail!
It's actually very strange... when fax is so important and even is legal in France for contracts for example (I guess it's the same in other countries?)
Well, thanks for your answer, I hope someone can help me MFP wise, because I guess it's the only way to have up to date hardware and software. (or bloatware, but it's another subject)

I've been using a PS2 controller to play games on the PC, be it emulators or PC games. However, recently one of the games required the use of the right analog stick, and only then did I realise that my PC doesn't recognise the horizontal axis of the right camera. This is frustrating, because I can't rotate the game camera to progress with the game. I've tried 3rd party software which maps controller to game functions, which recognises the axis of the right analog stick in the setup but still it doesn't work in the game. Anybody faced similar problems with your PS2 controllers?

Let me guess... You're emulating FF12?
If you are, then try a different controller plug-in. I use a Logitech Dual Action pad and it has all the necessary features of an actual PS2 controller. I've never used the PS2 controller.
I never knew you could stick a PS2 controller into a computer
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I have a PS2 and the FFXII game, so I'm not trying to get that to work on my laptop. I guess I might have to get a new controller if nothing else works. Thanks for the suggestion!
