    Along with that we have had incredible bushfires - this is the worst natural disaster Australia has ever seen (and some of those fires were deliberately lit - see here).

     

    More than 170 dead so far, with projections up to 250. 750 homes lost and 3,500 people without a place to stay. Whole towns wiped off the map - not a shred of evidence that they were there. More than 300,000 hectares burning (and still going).

     

    It's just horrible. And, for a comparison, read this.

  1. I 17:10:09 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3)

    See if changing to decent media will do the trick - eg Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

     

    What you are using now is pure crap.

     

    Regards

  2. 3. Lightning UK, the NERO thing they suggested fixed the problem, but did not change the strange looking "Disc ID: 0@P-!-00", yet still burns at the speed it's susposed to say. What do you make of it?

    Don't worry about it. Sometimes (particualrly older) drives can't read info for -R discs all that well. See mmalves's answer above.

     

    4. I have some Taiyo Yudens at work, as I am kicking myself as I have 150 or so DVD-Rs that I need to somehow get rid of. Any suggestions on how to do that without giving me the feeling that I wasted my money completely?

    No. But frisbees (watch out for heads slicing off :D), (real life) coasters (if you can decorate), presents for not so good friends etc. might allieviate some of the "pain".

     

    And, I trust the "ones at work" do not belong to "work". That would be (petty) theft if you took them and quite possibly might put your job at risk (I know the stationery cupboard is considered fair game but it isn't!).

    'kin hell. It hit 46.4 today - a new record! For you yanks, that is more than 115 degrees. One place not far away recorded 48 degrees (+118F)

     

    On top of that, we had a howling hot north wind gusting at 70 kph (45 mph). Geez.

    At the gym the personal trainers were complaining that all their appointments had canceled. One female trainer from abroad said we Brits were a bunch of effeminate nancy boys still needing to be breast fed.

    Aren't you? :D
