Or you could just get the TiVo with DVD burner. It rocks! :)

What's the current thinking on leaving film in checked luggage versus taking it in your carry-on?
Film goes in the carry-on. They use stronger x-rays on the checked luggage that can damage the film, but the carry-on x-rays are OK for it. (For certain things, I get paranoid and either put my film in a lead bag in my carry-on or have it hand-checked, but I've been informed that that's kind of crazy.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Different countries have different strength X-rays, and even so, my 1600 was advised to be outside the US scans. I think the Jamaican machines put 800 and up at risk.

I take my film out of the cannisters and put it in a ziploc bag in my carryon, which I can whip out and give to the guards to handcheck. Most places I see say that under 800 is fine, but I make them hand check it anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks for all the film advice, folks. Carry on is cleary the way to go.

Okay, I would like recommendations on programs for the PC that will compare 2 documents and tell me if they are the same.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What for? Word can compare two docs. However, for programming I use Araxis Merge.

You can use fc /b to do a binary compare between two files.
