  1. Can't get ridda you, you drunken sod! 'oweryagoin Shamus? Regards
  2. See Fix your DMA in my signature and the FAQs. Regards
  3. My LGs are yet to give a bad burn. I'm sticking with them, despite no statistics (makes for less work in testing, anyway ) Regards
  4. More than likely. -R DL are really not a good choice. Setting the LB is very problematic as you are required to burn to the end of the disk. Try returning them and tell them you meant to buy +R instead. And don't forget to set the booktype to DVDROM on +Rs. Regards
  5. True, but there's no menus starting with B, W, and D - just the View menu, which could be made into View, if desired. Just a thought. But why bother? It's hardly an imposition. Regards
  6. Those are the ex Zimmie boys who fled from Mugabe, right? Regards
  7. What was it? If it was bad, easy to fix. Just add "@calweycn" Regards
  8. Arsehole hijackers. Still 18 posts without hijack is near a record for this forum. Regards
  9. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA You've gotta be fuckin joking!!! That is baseball on a cricket pitch. In England???? Yer dreaming. Regards
  10. Welcome to ImgBurn Forum!! How's your DMA? Post a log please. Regards
  11. Do so angel, it's a real winner - you actually don't need to build an ISO at all cos you can burn with the device as your target. Regards
  12. Mod control panel --> Ban user --> calweycn --> OK Regards
  13. @PM The reason I mentioned the speed was to get you thinking just how fast the ball would arrive had it been thrown (pitched) instead of bowled with a straight arm. I'd hazard to guess another 20% faster. Your pitcher is some 90 feet away, IIRC. We got 22 yards of separation. By the time a fast bowler has completed his delivery, he's almost standing under the batsman's cap, snorting metaphorical obscenities at him! Yes, both games have their attractions and the great camaraderie to be gained by going to see the sport you love with your mates and family. We are blessed - as our games is not over in an instant and it is truly a day out. @Jack - yes indeed. How Warnie dropped that catch when we had fought back defies belief. But so does McGrath falling on a cricket ball 2 minutes before the 2nd test. And nor will I ever forget the LBW decision that Simon Jones survived while Flintoff belted another 30 in a 10th wicket partnership that would - strangely enough - decide the match and series in its own way. But you can't blame Warnie or Ponting for Australia's loss. They played their guts out and the poms (more or less) appreciated their fighting spirit. I believe they are all fit for 2006-7. The ACB have hired about 100 prostitutes for Warnie - 1 for every day of the summer - so that should keep him happy. Simone has left the mansion now, so he's free to root whomever he wants whenever he wants. This is good for Warnie, and what's good for Warnie is good for cricket! @LFC - The pleasure is watching, talking, eating, drinking, bullshitting, just having a real good time. Should you happen this way in our summer, I'd be happy to take you to a match. However, you would have to lift your game laddie - we in the Melbourne Cricket Club don't take all that kindly to Scousers! Regards
  14. Still trying to get a good burn outa those G05s I see Shamus. Hell will freeze over first (or calweycn will make a good post). Regards
  15. Fuck, don't send him our way Shamus. For my sake. No, 1,000 times no. Regards
  16. Good post! x2 Regards
  17. I know who Pete Rose is. The attraction of cricket to me is actually one man's fight against the odds and his overcoming it or not. You got one guy with bat, a partner down the other end, but really you're on your own out there against 11 others, who can field where they like (often in your nose hair)! Your mind and skill vs the whole of the other team. This is not unlike baseball, except baseball is rather hit and miss. The ball can, and does, arrive at 90-100mph - and this is bowled with a straight arm, not thrown (or pitched as you might call it) - so imagine the force and skill of the bowler to land it just so and move/spin the ball. From the bowler's side, it is the challenge of psyching the batsman out, of devising and enabling a strategy for the team to get rid of the guy, who is determined to stay there, see you off, and take advantages of your poor deliveries. For in this game, the batsman's innings is not over in 7 effective deliveries, so he is not compelled to swing wildly to get on base. In this way, cricket is very strategic. On a somewhat more prosaic level, there are great innings to be built (sometimes into the 300s and even 400s), great bowling performances, and some inspired fielding (without the aid of mitts to do something as simple as catch a ball - when I was stateside in college, people used to marvel that I could actually catch a baseball without a mitt!). I shall never forget a young chap, who was to go on and captain Australia take what is probably the greatest outfield catch of all time. He ran 60 or 70 yards to get a ball which would have cleared the fence had it not been for his incredible leap at the end of the chase. Nor will I forget a chap who's not noted for fielding, take a "blinder" in the outfield stretched at "full tilt". And quite frankly, dozens of others - important catches and misses alike. How many great outfield (or infield) catches are their in BB? It's all a bit humdrum (having said that, I do like the game). Cricket has some unforgettable moments. Perhaps it is because 160 games per annum are not played between the contestants and the game does not blur into a single smash and run contest. Perhaps it is because it requires patience, thinking and tons of guts on top of the skills a player possesses. Perhaps it is because the game can turn so quickly with a couple of quick wickets (this is rarely the case in BB but there are many many swings and roundabouts in a game of cricket). Perhaps even because sometimes it comes down to one missed chance at The Oval and a whole series of 30 days play can be decided in an instant (and Jack will know what I am talking about here), yet tantalisingly stay on the knife edge for hours to its final conclusion. Perhaps it is all this and more. On Boxing Day (26 Dec) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, over 100,000 people (I am not kidding) will cram in to see day 1 of England vs Australia in what is truly one the great grudge series of all time. Of course, this rivalry has been going on for some 180 years now - in the US, you have an emerging "World Series". We simply call it, Test Cricket. Regards
  18. You have to approach it with an open mind, as a wonderful few days to sit out in the sun with your mates, have a chin wag and a few ales and get involved with the action when it occurs. What I can't understand, talking the converse side, is how anyone can win a World Series when only one country is represented. Totally baffles me. Regards
  19. Which took all of 5 seconds! If your machine is a bit old, don't do anything else while burning, including checking for mail. BURP has been around for longer than 3 years. Regards
  20. Ach! Sorry bout that. I shoulda looked at the changelog before posting. Regards
  21. Yes, excellent research. Greens to lmao2k. Regards

  23. I suspect it means you have no label on your DVD. Either set it thru the labels tab when you use build mode, otherwise, it should take the folder name of the parent folder of VIDEO_TS. You can set this option to automatically set the label: Even prior to the burn, you can set the label. Tools -> ISO -> Set Volume Label. It is not mandatory to have a label on a DVD. Regards
