Simply random stuff

Sweet. My cousin lives just up the road at Ormond Beach.

I've been there, way back in the day.

Looking for an assist in locating a clean copy of “The McCartney Years”. This is a 3 disc DVD with decent DTS 5.1 sound. My current copy plays fine with disc 1 & 2. Disc 3 plays fine until track 6 under the Glastonbury concert. It hangs there and I’ve tried it in both my Oppo 103 and my Sony UBP-X800. I even ordered a new copy off of Amazon and found none of the three disc would play on either of my machines. My players are fine as I continue to use them as always. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe I've read of play issues with this set. It seems there was a manufacturing error with these DVDs leading to a loss of playability over time for many copies. Your best bet is to see if you can rip disc 3 to a disc image using a computer optical drive, as sometimes those can read what players cannot, and burn a new copy.

Thanks, I hadn’t considered that. Given the new set I purchased last week and immediately returned to Amazon because none of the disc would register with either of my players may indicate a bigger problem.

In celebration of the surround release of Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark" I decided yesterday afternoon to head ever to the beach in Malibu with the CD playing at a nice volume in the car. I had fixed a good size sandwich with smoked turkey, swiss, lettuce, tomato an a dab of mayo. Thinking that a mellow Tues afternoon would be quite tranquil and serene. But as soon as I got out of the car in the near empty parking lot it seems that the seagulls had spotted my sandwich and began blocking me from the beach entrance until I gave up nearly half of my sandwich to them in bite sized pieces.

It was still a nice afternoon watching the sunset. But this is what it looked like yesterday on arrival in afternoon.

Absolutely beautiful!

I think this is the first time a video game has given me Stockholm Syndrome...I absolutely hated the experience the entire way through but in retrospect it was awesome...now I'm inclined to try the sequel...

No disrespect meant to gamers. To me it's just a waste of time. I prefer living real life. Color me...old I guess, if you will.

Honestly, I don't game very often, much for the same reason. I only pick it up as an alternative to music or films, and that too I NEED one of those story-based games. Those multiplayer shooters completely elude my interest.

OK, this time-lapse video is freaking incredible. You MUST watch this.

If you mess up a certain number of tracks, you can add a CD of outtakes to your next album and charge ridiculous money...just like they do for the big box sets.

There's no CD on this album because of cost and the fact that there's a good chance the final edit of the album will be over 80 minutes...but I could stick it on the DVD if I tried hard enough...

I'll probably be fighting for my life to keep the MLP stream 24/96.

Double layer? I don't remember offhand how much 24/96 5.1 a single layer disc will hold. Could look it up I guess...but you're probably already aware.
