Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) Peter, Thanks for your reccomendation. The specs for the Sanyo that I mentioned indicates that it has a TBC built in as well. This RCA DRC8000N looks like it is a DVD recorder only and does not have a built in VHS. So I am taking it that...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I have a few old home movies on VHS tape and some other VHS tapes that were transfers from old super 8 and slides. I am considering purchasing a standalone VHS to DVD recorder to archive these VHS tapes to DVD. I am looking at a Samsung...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I bought some 16X Tayo Yuden white printable DVD-R and was able to burn them at 16X in the NEC. It worked on every DVD player that I put it in. I guess that the title of my original post should have been "8X Samsung TS-H552B DVD burner...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I am posting a followup to my original post regarding my problems with DVD compatability. 1. I have found that varied brands and manufacturers of DVD media +-R/+-RW burned at 8X in my 8X Samsung TS-H552B DVD burner do not function reliably...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?) Hi Wesley Thanks to one of your links I traced the problem to the USB system. It is now fixed. rod

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?) Hi Whenever I ask my computer to stand by, it restarts. I have run two diagnostic programms and they do not detect a fault. Could this be a hardware problem? System used is XP (home) SP2 reinhold

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?) Where do you find the list of applications that fire up automatically when you turn the computer on. In particular QuickTime has installed itself on my computer and I can not find how to stop it loading itself up. Many thanks

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I found a review on my Samsung TS-H552B DVD burner at http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/163 . I should have looked this up a long time ago. I think this explains a lot of my compatability problems including a lot of other factors I have...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) Thanks for the info. I'm about to order some more DVD's. I'll probably try the ones that you are talking about. Where did you find information about the silver faced DVD's? Rod "AnthonyR" <nomail@nospam.com> wrote in message...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) Anthony, Can you give me some more information about your NEC 16X DVD burner like the model number and where you bought it? Also, what do you mean by "modified firmware"? Are you just talking about downloading the latest approved firmware...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I have one other thought on this subject. Does anyone know whether it is any less reliable to burn CD's using a DVD burner than using a CD burner? The reason that I ask is that I remember back in the days of 1.2M High density 5-1/4 floppy...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) Roman, Thanks. I appreciate the advice. I have had also had some trouble in the past with some MP3 CD's as well. I may go back and reburn them at a slower speed. Rod "Roman Svihorik" <gemini@post.mbc.sk> wrote in message...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) Jucius, Thanks for the tips. I did check my drives and am already running in DMA mode so I guess that was not the problem. I am coming to realize through experience and some other replies to this post that burning at a slower speed is...

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?) I have been working on copying some video tapes to DVD using Nerovision Express 3. I have 5 DVD players of different types in the house from a portable player to an Xbox. I have a fairly new Samsung 8X DVD burner which I have flashed with...
