Hmm. Don't know about those -- I'll check. Or, if you want, you can give *me* the files, and I can burn the DVDs.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

Sounds like Toast Titanium 6 will do what you want it to do and perhaps give you a bit better feedback about it than iDVD.

Netflix question:
Has any non-major-city-area Buffista noticed an increase in time for Netflix DVD-getting?
For awhile I had a 2 day turnaround, and my DVD's were going to a PD box in Rochester. This last one took 1 week, and came from Texas!

Sophia,
have you been renting a lot? Netflix does this to you if you rent a lot. They like to slow down your rentals. There's a term for it, but I've forgotten it.

I thought that was just a rumour.
(I think it's called throttling -- never happened to me, but who knows?)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Nope. I googled this because it happened to Beau and me. They have folks who have been documented this issue.
There's a "secret" max that netflix has for each each and once you go above that in a 30 day period, your movies start slowing up SIGNIFICANTLY.
Oh...the term is "throttle." Google netflix and throttle and you should get a fair # of links.

Thanks. During the winter I don't rent a lot at all, but now that school is out, I was getting about 20 movies a month on the 5 at a time plan.

Well, they do say this:
In determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service. As a result, those subscribers who receive the most movies may experience next-day shipping and receive movies lower in their queue more often than our other subscribers.
in their terms of service. Still, even when I was plugging through three or four a week, my turnaround time was three business days -- it was rare they didn't send me a receipt e-mail within 24 hours of me putting the disc in the mail.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Netflix held 2 movies from me last month for 4-5 days.
