Rupert, Has Ocean tried the password Retrievial tool (as you can see we are at a loss about this until Dra returns but maybe this will work for him we hope???)

Hello, I have a quick question: I would like to take a VHS tape and copy it to a blank DVD. I have a GO VIDEO deck that has a copy button, and I assume that it is supposed to be for copying a VHS tape to DVD. My question is this: What type of blank DVD do I buy? I have spent $$ buying the wrong kind apparently DVD+R, DVD-R, etc and am so confused, so can some smart person help simplify it? I would really be so appreciative of your help. Help! I am a huge BB fan by the way! please help ASAP thanks! If this post is in wrong place I apologize need technical help Thanks! Saba

Saba, I would recommend you visit http://www.videohelp.com and browse the DVD Recorder and the DVD Media sections. Start by locating your model recorder and read up on the compatibility issues with that. Then read through the media section to find the most compatible media that works in your machine. You might also look around that site to find hints and tips on making the process more successful for you.

here's a quickie question I hope someone can answer. I like to use wireless headphones for my TV as I am usually doing something else while 'watching". 2 of my TV's however, do NOT have OUT audio jacks or headphone jacks. They only have IN jacks. Is there anyway at all to make headphones work using IN Audio jacks ?? (I don't care if the audio on the TV stays on while the headphone is plugged in - in fact I like it better as then I can leave the headphones plugged in all the time)

Jan: No, there isn't any way to get the sound from an INput connection. You need either a headphone jack or audio OUT connectors for the wireless transmitter to get it's signal from. One idea you might consider is to use an extension cord on the TV that has the connector and move the transmitter to a more central location so you can use the headphones in more areas of the house.

I am considering down grading my cable, to just the regular expanded basic, without digital. I am wondering, if I can use tivo if I don't have digital. Thanks

Tootseug: If you have a standalone Tivo, you should have no trouble using it with standard (non-digital) cable. In fact, it's actually easier to use since the Tivo can tune the analog (standard) cable channels internally for recording. If you need any help setting it up, just let me know. I have never used digital cable with my Tivo.

I have to concur with Draheid, Tootseug. I have regular ole analog cable and have two Tivo's and they work perfectly. As Dra noted, it is easier to use because there is no cable box to fuss with. So yes, you can downgrade from digital cable to analog cable and still use Tivo.

Anyone familiar with MS Frontpage? I've had a website for a couple of years and used Frontpage to create, publish and update all the pages. Recently I had a hard drive crash and lost a lot of my data. I've reinstalled Frontpage and a very old copy of my website now wish to make some updates. What do I need to do to accomplish this without having to recreate the entire website files on my hard drive? I can download a copy of the files on my website but they won't be organized in the way Frontpages needs them to do the new/old comparison thing before replacing and publishing the new pages. Anyone have any experienced help to offer?

Butrflynet; I have had this happen. The website hosted by a local company. I contacted them and they were able to zip and send to me what they had on their server that I had originally done in Frontpage . Don't know if this is a possibility for you. Joyce

Yep, that's what I described in my last paragraph. Unfortunately, the host's zip file won't be organized in the way FrontPage needs it to be to do the publication process. FrontPage does a new vs old comparison of each page and then uploads the components of the newer version of that page to the domain each time it publishes. I'm hoping there is a way to tell FrontPage to insert changes to the existing page and not overwrite the "new" (old) page with the older version I now have on my hard drive. My suspiscion is that this is not the case and I'll have a lot of work to do. A possible solution may be to not try updating the existing pages on my website, but to just create entirely new ones to add to the site. I end up with the same question though. When FrontPage goes through the new/old comparison routine will it delete the "old" pages from my website and keep only the brand new ones I create? I think what I want it to do is ignore the old pages and just consider the new ones, but I don't know how to tell it to do that.

Sorry I can't help. My host company was able to send be the data in a format that I was able to open in Frontpage just as it had been when I first designed it. Hope someone else has an answer for you. Joyce

btrflynet, i asked my dh who has used frontpage to see what he might suggest. this is what he said. i hope it is helpful. solution: don't use FP to load the changes to the web site. use FP to edit the copy on the local computer and then use a FTP program to upload the changed files only.

Good idea, Cndeariso! I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestions, Lawrie. I wish it had been that easy a solution for me. Maybe I should rethink who my website host is! Who do you use?

I’m looking for a way to set-up a menu on a CD that would appear after the CD is inserted. You would then click on different menu buttons depending on which option you want to run. Does anyone know how to do this or of a good program that would do this for me? I’ve searched around the net and found a couple that look promising, but I’d prefer to use one that some actually has had experience with and can recommend. Thanks!

Nero 7 Ultra Edition allows one to create a CD/DVD similar to commercially produced CD/DVD's. http://ww2.nero.com/enu/index.html If you're on a Mac, Apple's iDVD software does the same. (iDVD typically comes free with Macs.)

Jimmer: What type of content are you interested in creating a menu for? Most Video disc creation programs, such as Nero, allow video menus for the content. If you're looking more for data or programs, then you'll need to create a different kind of menu. One possibility would be to create a web page with the options of what content to use and place that on the CD then create the autorun.ini file to launch that page when the disc is inserted. Anything sound like what you're looking for?
