Oh no, JZ! I'm be happy to troubleshoot (here or in the tech thread) if you want. If I knew how the DVD was authored I might be able to salvage the media. (My best guess right now is the program Juliana used to burn it automatically slapped on some kind of hideous copy-protection, which you can probably circumvent with something like Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
I have no idea what the program was. It was just whatever was inside the camera. There's zero chance juliana is up, caffeinated and functional right now, but I'll ping her when she gets to work. I can't believe (a) it's fixable, and (b) it's an on-purpose thing built into the damn program.

Will it play in a regular DVD player, or only from the camera? (If it will only from the camera, the disc might just need to be finalized.)

It was finalized in the camera. Haven't tried it in a DVD player, but it plays fine on the Mac. I tried copying it over into iMovie, but iMovie was having none of it.

This is starting to sound like my efforts to make my TAR audition VHS tape.

Others know better than I, but I'm pretty sure you can't rip a DVD directly into iMovie. You need to first rip it onto your hard drive with something like Handbrake, and then import the resulting file into iMovie.

Yeah, iMovie can't import anything directly from a DVD. Actually, the email I sent you last week about that job-related thing - all that info applies here as well.

(And by the bye - there's a Mad Men "best of" 30 minute clip show playing in regular rotation on AMC this week.)

Saw the Mad Men clip last night. It's cute. I particularly liked the direction of having the actors stay in costume on separate couches by gender.
Also finally watched The Middleman, and I really wanted to like it. But I didn't. Cute and campy, but not clever enough.
