Watermark on a video? What's that? I have a number of things that I must take care of some of them more urgent than others. I'll wait for you to start watching. The files aren't going anywhere and if they do I should be able to d/l them again. I'm thinking I'll buy the mittens video here, it looks like it should have some stuff I can use in it and it will help KH so it sounds like win-win. This morning I looked at michaels.com and couldn't figure out how to shop online. They sure didn't make it easy to get my money.

Did you get your DVDs burned?

No, he didn't have time, but I will watch some on the computer. I'll just bring a more comfy chair over. When do you want to start?

GrumpyGramma · 12-11-2012, 07:36 AM

Tomorrow? I don't want you to be miserable. I can wait.

Tomorrow is good. I have another chair that I think will work.

I'm busy for a few hours in the evening, but daytime is good. Do you work outside the home? I'm retired so normally I'm around most of the time.

Afternoon would be best for me, or late morning.

I use DVDFab for DVD burning. Yes I pay for it and YES it is worth it!

It works great for copying DVD's and does Blue ray as well.

We used to do local computer repair, and all we got were Dells' and Sonys' Not just one....more like 12-15 of them...and this is a small community.

I use an Acer used that I got for $200 and it works great(knock on wood!) I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I think the problem is one of my trays won't open. The button is shoved in and DH can't get to it. It's a 7 yr old computer, but I'll see if he'll open it again so I can look.

Jan, get a bigger hammer.

When I was at my sister's while her son was in the hospital for surgery, she got a DVD stuck in the DVD player and we ended up taking to cover off to retrieve the danged disk. No hammer needed, just a screwdriver.

Back in the olden days when virtually speaking computers were barely past prehistoric, Campaqs were the ones we were always sending for someone to fix in the state offices I worked in. So far my Dell is doing great and since I didn't have to buy it, it was a real bargain!

I've looked at the front where it is and don't see a place to use a screw driver. I don't want to break it since I can't afford a new one right now.

The hammer sounds good about now though!
