I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

With a 100% feedback rating and that many transactions, I wouldn't be too worried. If you want to be really sure, you could ask the seller a question and confirm that everything's in working order.

Anyone have recommendations for a cheap or open-source DVD/CD burning software? I have an .avi file I want to author a VCD or DVD with (just burning a data cd didn't work), and I don't feel like spending $60 on Nero.

Any suggestions?

I don't know, but I'm interested in what you find out, because I need it too!

Perhaps everyone else knows this already, but I just discovered that there is now an iPhone app that allows you to listen to a public radio station. Actually, the one I found is just the public radio station I grew up listening to (Minnesota), but it's a pretty good one.

Stephanie, do you remember the name?

I have the Pandora app installed and I love it, but getting NPR would be pretty awesome.

search for mpr radio - I've been listening all morning. Ellie likes to watch movies on our computer and there is no local NPR so this is perfect for me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This one [link] is for Minnesota public radio, which is an NPR station.

I haven't explored it, but it my let you choose other NPR stations.

Thanks, LeNubian. Unfortunately, CDBurnerXP doesn't appear to support burning video CDs or video dvds.

Via LH, this looks like a possibility, though: [link]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I can haz NPR News on my phone! ok, so it's MPR, but close enough. Doesn't appear you can select other NPR locals. Just between classical, current, and news.
