I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gah. My digital camera has lost any pretension of sync between the lens and the viewfinder. If it's centred in the VF, the subject is high and right in the resulting image.

The preview screen is fine, so it's not the end of the world. However, I hate taking pics that way (it's nowhere near as good in situation where the flash is required).

The last time I tried to have my (analog) camera repaired, the estimate was more than the replacement cost.

Is digital repair generally costly?

So does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives to iDVD?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec: [link] and then install it. Which I think is just dragging it into the application folder, but I'm no expert.

Okay, ita, I got the VLC fine. And I've got Bit Torrent OSX 4-1.0.2.dmg. But when I try to download it from DXM's link in outer Bosnogravenia, it says: rejected by tracker - You need a newer bt client to connect here.

What am I doing wrong?

There aren't a lot of choices. What are you looking to do with the alternative?

I thought you said you already had the mpg, Hec?

As for torrenting on the Mac, I know nothing of the clients.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Azureus is a popular Mac torrent client. It's the one I use -- it's fairly straightforward, and its avatar is a blue frog!

Our wings are not tired

The next step up from iDVD is DVD Studio Pro. Toast 6 Titanium also deals with burning DVD's and will build menus and layouts. Not sure what you are looking for, but those are the two options that pop to mind.

I thought I did, but it was just the aborted download from Bit Torrent.

However, I got Global Frequency (which did indeed kick ass. I can see the Miranda Zero fanfic generating on the horizon as I type.) from P-C putting it at You Send It. I got the VLC from your link which ran it.

And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog. Thank you all.
