Could somebody help me? I'm getting closed out of yahoo all the time lately... now it's because I need the latest flash player or something. I don't think my usual "When you don't know what to do, do nothing" plan is going to work again. This is probably a very stupid question.

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!

It used to be a php page, but our php thingie is down so I created a static page as a stop-gap.

Eh. I just changed it to [link] and it works so I'm leaving it. I'll email the webmaster and let him sort it out.

I've got a quick dvd player question: why is it that homegrown dvds that play on my machine won't play on my friend's? And vice-versa? Is there anything that can be done about this?
(I say quick, because I'm guessing that the answer is no. It usually is.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Could it be a DVD-R+ versus a DVD-R- incompatibility? Some older players can only read one or the other. Same thing for some older burners.

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

It's not the plus/minus thing -- I tried a plus and a minus dvd and neither worked.
However, other homegrown dvds do -- it's all very odd.
I googled and found a list of disks that will/won't play on my machine. . . hmmmm

You can schedule tv shows from Yahoo TV listings on your Tivo.
I just heard something about that on NPR this morning. Cool.

So, the particular brand of dvd-r won't play on my machine -- does this mean that if I found somebody to copy the dvds to a brand that does - that it would work?
That seems a little too simple.
