killabeez! My Jeremiah discs came and there's no better birthday present in the world.

On the other hand! I can't get my actual DVD player to play them, and my computer spits the discs out. Any thoughts? What format are the eps saved in, anyhow?

SO CLOSE but yet SO FAR, grrrr. *staring mournfully at this pretty pretty stack of green discs*

Well, they're just normal DVD format. The problem is that your DVD player doesn't play DVD-R disks, apparently. A lot of the older ones don't. Sorry, cannot help! I saw innogen is making you tapes - that's the only thing I could do. Would you mind sending them back to me? I hate to ask, but that's about $25 worth of disks and ink, and I know someone who would love to have them. Thanks, hon.

p.s. for a list of players that are known not to work with DVD-R disks, they're listed here: Octave.com list of compatible players

Actually, I'm getting a new computer in a week and would love to try 'em out on the new PC with DVD. Can I reimburse you instead? You take PayPal? I am all over PayPal.

(And if they don't show on the PC I will send 'em back -- you know, even if they do show I can just save them to my HD and send the DVDs back -- how's that work for you?)

No, no! If you have a use for them, then please keep them and don't worry about it. :-) I just didn't want them to go to waste. Hopefully your new computer will like them better. I did test those in several players, so they should be okay, it's just that players are finicky about dvd-r sometimes. It's only about 5% of players that have trouble, so hopefully your luck will improve. *g*

Also, I just got the BoB tapes! Thank you! {{{}}}
