Me and the hub have spent most of the past two days taking turns shoveling water out of the basement. Actually, it never really goes "out", we can't seem to get it below the inch and a quarter level. I look like Daisy Mae down there, barefoot and rolled up jeans... My poor back is killing me and I just felt like whining, sorry!

Now here is the real problem I would love to have some suggestions on, if you wouldn't mind -- I purchased some DVDs from Ebay sellers, I don't think they were professionally etched (but I don't really know what I am talking about) , and my dvd machine doesn't recognize that there is a disc in there. They seem to play on my neighbor's machine -- what's up with mine??? It plays rentals just great!

Thanks if you can give me a pointer. I know the shows aren't pirated, because it's a 1950's TV series and the sellers say they own the copywrite (I checked, being paranoid...) so that can't be the problem....

Thank much. I'm off to build a freaking ark.

Wow sorry to hear about the water problem. Trust me I hear ya, I live in Louisiana. I don't know why this happens to DVDs but I have had that happen to some that we have burned. Usually my XBox plays everything so I just use that when it happens. We started using another burn program and not so many problems.
 
Sorry to hear about your water problems :(

It sounds like your DVD player will not play the format the burned dvd's are. I find alot of DVD players will not play burned DVD/+R discs, on my DVD player some work and some don't.

I'm just going to throw in that I agree with what he saids. Sounds like they gave you legal DVD+R/-Rs which your DVD player is not compatible with.

You can watch it on your computer :)
 
you may just consider buying a new dvd player for $50 that plays everything under the sun, includiing european format dvds at circuitcity.com.

sale ends today, but this Philips DVD Player goes on sale once in a while
