Uttad, I downloaded them, and I can't get them to play on any player I have on my computer. How did you see them/what did you use?

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?

I used Windows Media Player. The burned them to (S)VCD and watched them on a standard Sony DVD player.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Deena, what OS do you have?

Strawberry disappointment.

Deena. As suggested, burn them as an SVCD or a VCD. They should play on most DVD players (but not all). Alternatively, you could get your hands on a copy of WinDVD and use that. I'm sure I've seen *cough* perfectly legal *cough* copies of that software on some bittorrent sites.

The problem is that our DVD player isn't compatible with our tv, and until we get an RF modulator (I think?), I'm stuck with watching things on the computer.

I've got Windows XP.

Deena. You could get a graphics card with a TV out, then play media files on your computer but watch them on your telly. I got one for around sixty quid.

Wow. That's cool. Now, as soon as I figure out how much a quid is, and then budget it in, I'm set! ;)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

1 quid = roughly 1 1/2 bucks, give or take.

(Today's currency conversion is £1=$1.67923, apparently)

RF converters/modulators can be had for around $20 (12 Quid).

Here is a Magnavox one for $ 17.84 at Wal-Mart.com

And a google search turns up many more out there.

So a quid is a pound?
