I have some DVDs I recorded. Over the air baseball games.
They will not play in the computer- Neither Ubuntu, nor windows will open them.

The DVD recorder does do IEEE94, and I have some tapes that I would like to put
on DVD. I NEED TO MAKE SURE THESE DVDs WILL BE PLAYABLE ANYWHERE!

Does anyone have a link to some codec that would let me view the dvds? The
players work, it's whatever Toshiba records in. I can put the dvds in a dvd/vcr
combo and record and play, so I think it's just a format type problem.

The recorder is new and quite different than VHS, the manual stinks - no index
per se - just headings.

I'm trying with the recorded DVDs as I have no movies, and I want to use the
recorder for the Handicam. I need to see what quality it would put out on a
computer player using IEEE1394. I can record to a memory stick, but the quality
isn't that great compared to using a HI8 tape.


Most of the tapes I would want to get on DVD are videos of pets my daughter
lost.

RE: Photoshop - Adobe and Quark were the big names in publishing. You learned
photo editing and page layout in those programs. Most used Macs, we had a couple
of Amigas, I used a PC. In fact we had a UNIX user in the class. You also had to
separate and use registration for the 4 color printing process. Soon after I
graduated, small print houses started to accept MS Word files for direct print.
Before - you gave them the file and someone would typeset your file in either
Pagemaker or Quark on a MAC, then print. I prefer to let PS control the
printing. I don't see that feature for color profiles in GIMP. I have the
printer profiles from Canon. I don't see any calibration programs for the
monitor profile, either.

If you are in business for yourself today with all the options available, you
can use what you like. Which is as it should be.

I don't need WINE. Just the separate windows hard drive for all Adobe products.
I boot in through Ubuntu. My computer, my preference.
