  1. NOTHING is free in the UK :rolleyes:

    the "free to air" channels are not actually free , the law that determines there not free is ;

    if you have a television or a monitor that is capable of "receiving" TV broadcasts you MUST have a TV license ...........

     

    or we will make you watch the late night repeat show of eastenders for a month !!!

     

    Im not sure( in the UK ) that if you buy a TV card for your PC that the seller has to take your name and address now and pass it on to the TV licensing authority

     

    regarding time shifting, in the UK, you DO need a tv license for this as its still been broadcast and so is covered by the Tv license law, so sadly, its not free

     

    Im going to guess that a downloaded TV show will be governed by the law of the country it was first broadcast in, so some form of copywrite will exist. after all if you get a series of a show that hasent been aired in your country yet , The TV company that has the right to air it in your country would have paid a lot of money for that right.

  2. if the disc had been full , wouldnt your explanation slow the overall average write speed down anyway though when the buffers wait to be re-filled ?

     

    /me thinks it could be a "close but no cigar "one here :teehee:

  3. but I would expect somewhere closer to 16 X.

     

     

    EDIT

    I 23:39:10 BURN-Proof: Enabled

    I 23:43:33 Average Write Rate: 10,977 KB/s (7.9x) - Maximum Write Rate: 15,622 KB/s (11.3x)

    try one with out Burn Proof enabled , be warned though, it may result in a coaster . Burn Proof slows down the write process if it thinks the drive cannot work at the set speed for any reason . the I/O speeds and connections are the usual things to slow a burn down like Shamus told you earlier

  4. have you actually tried the que feature in IB with the drive ? if not, try a que of 2 or 3 discs

     

     

    trust me this won't work. I tried it and got this error:

     

    "Unable to lock volume for exclusive access. Reason : Access denied"

     

    even without that error, imgburn doesn't have the necessary commands to control the robotic arm, hence the request

    to officially support this and other devices like this in imgburn.

     

    have you followed the ImgBurn FAQ about this error ? It's usually another running program that locks the drive

  5. interesting suggestion :thumbup: , everything news seems to be an RSS feed these days

     

    in the mean time, if you go to TOOLS > SETTINGS > EVENTS TAB and change "check for program update " to "daily" , at least it will give you a reminder when a newer version is out, and you will know to check out the news section on the site or forum

  6. and its like the car adverts , where our latest model does 99 miles per gallon :thumbup:

     

    as long as its downhill on a dry day with a gale force 10 wind pushing you ................oh and theres a letter Z in the months name

     

    id be happy to attain 11.3x regularly

  7. burnt image with nero 7 premium and had internal target failure, burnt image with CloneCD and worked perfect.

     

    conclusion : imgburn is fussy with media possibly.

     

    thanks for everyones help but i think if im using cheap media imgburn is not really the best option.

     

    LOL , well according to you Nero is the same then ???

     

    ImgBurn isnt bothered what quality the media is , it works off what the drive reports back when a new disc is inserted .

     

    I however think that using cheap media anyway will come back and smack your arse for you anywhere between 1 day and 2 years depending on which poor quality media you used . If its CMC based you may not be able to read the disc within 1 day of creating it

  8. we took my mother in law to a sex shop to get her a vibrator after the father in law passed away.

    The guy behind the counter was ever so helpfull, showing her several different models. unfortunately she couldn't make her mind up as to which one to buy, then she suddenly shouted out " I'll have that red one on the back wall " at which point i died of embarrassment !!!! ...................................................

     

    the assistant was ever so polite the way he told her he couldn't sell her the fire extinguisher >_<

  9. Oooopppps! A tad premature methinks

     

    funnily enough his Mrs said the same thing about him to me the other night :rolleyes: and i dont think she was on about the open top bus :whistling:

  10. was a bit worried that the BeeB couldnt finance a 6 episode series of a prime time show though ?. its a bit of a concern if thats the way forward , Given the Doctors on/off relationship with the BeeB over recent years i just hope overseas investment is'nt the way forward in there eyes , naturally the TV license will be reduced in cost :whistling:

  11. rather than starting a new thread , i thought id add it to this one .

     

    The USA is even getting BBC programs aired there before we get them here now !!! . the Current (NEW) series of "Hustle" on BBC1 is being shown on the AMC TV channel 2 weeks prior to the BBC showing it !!!

    AMC TV

     

    Not only do we lag behind in all the wonderfull technology in the world, we now make TV programs and show them everywhere else first as well .BBC = Bast*rd Bunch of C*nts :whatever:

     

    at this rate the topic title may need to change to "BBC to air new Dr Who on the BBC after the rest of the world has seen it first"

  12. yeah but programs like that are meant for advanced users so it'd take a person with a phd to figure it out. unless it says step by step how to condense the file,i'll end up giving up.

     

    to make 8gb fit on a 4gb disc you need to compress it , use either recode or shrink . if this is not easy enough for you stick to files under 4gb

     

    Or buy a dual layer burner and DL discs :rolleyes:

  13. What's the manufacturer of your laptop? Only a firmware update from that manufacturer can be trusted.

     

    Not strictly true >_< , no laptop manufacturer offers region free firmware , and its the drive manufacturer you can trust , not the laptop manufacturer <_<

  14. to add to Cornholio's advice above:

     

    Any player will work , its about what media you use more than anything else. verbatim and taiyo yuden are considered to be the best discs for compatability amongst players .

     

    Pixellation on playback is usually down to the player struggling to read the disc quick enough, which is where poorer quality media shows itself up. Its not always the media though, it could be a signal issue with digital TV recordings. the only way to confirm this is to actually watch a lot of the programs live to see if its your digi box or aerial.

     

    in the event it IS your player though, the cheapest ones are usually the better ones to buy as they play most TV formats,a s well as MP3,DivX,Xvid ect ect. , and often region free as well

  15. well if you look for the guides section :whistling: all will be revealed, HOWEVER , if its a shop bought or commercial disc thats copywrite protected we cannot help you , and your on your own.

    In the event that its a non protetced disc, post the log file for us to see
