" Is that that a Tekzilla sponsored by go to my PC -- flicks and -- Coming up this episode one apparently -- It's not about the tools you need for it has the eat well. Call back up the number wonder can't rock and so excited he thinks that it's -- appropriate and works pretty darn good plus as always your questions on. Texas yeah. Yeah. Yeah."

" What would Tekzilla because Patrick Norton and I'm currently we have a great show lined up for you today coming up on this episode. Well -- we asked if he wanted to let advanced tools or dvd ripping you said yes especially those who was small Cuban he's dvds is coasters we got those Korea. One vigorous search for the best portable music player that's not an iPod an HDTVs why I think Austin once more than a regular computer monitor and of course well a Beatles back of your question but before again. Mr. Garnett -- The head up walk up dot com like the chief of it's cheaper reviews interviews. Game developers conference last week what the big what with what what's happening in games."

" You know one of the most interesting things to me was the PC gaming alliance announcement which if you can hear about it easy game -- created -- what Microsoft has actually part of this alliance. Which is even stranger because Patrick they are the guys behind games for windows -- RB a magazine games with his magazine and it was so successful. Well you know that's -- as it is still struggling to get the word out and that one of the big elements behind this is gaming on the windows platforms -- it's an update -- every time you look at metrics they actually there's a great -- apartment between who's winning and you know are they actually is PC gaming going away. What it what comes out with people playing different sorts of games and their currencies and getting different ways whether you know its pristine digital downloads -- we'll hear about -- peers through as Xbox and the gravity but nobody ever talks about PC to PC gaming not yet that at all by any -- commitment to so the PC gaming alliance it brings to the table people like Intel and AMD and then also Microsoft. The uniform in the government is consortium that when I don't understand is it really giving up on games for windows because. With when the point was made its games for windows is is more of the ring -- sort of thing CC -- the boxes -- against windows branding. And in the PC gaming alliance is going to be more about. Getting the word out and evangelizing for the PC systems how would you say evangelizing argument evangelizing game developers were evangelizing and yours to upgrade their machines they can play your game to that question but that Patrick. Debate not making clear Microsoft you know that is it -- that this is a Microsoft and this was done. The last -- at -- press conference of and it's actually is the -- who's in charge of it is from Intel so that brought in that brought in key personnel from all of these players have everybody equally represented. Microsoft for their part they grow up -- Xbox friend that's that's what's big for them right so their keynote they went on both ends of the extremes. They had you know the what exactly is if you Xbox group home along with watching what was going did you see. You could download the Saxony creation suite where you could go and look at like these games. That students are making that Barack developers are making -- relief fund they don't believe the sort of like kind puzzle league games addition we that was all kinds of stuff there if you look at that sort of stuff -- doing right now there's no reason that we're all playing colored block matching games for it for you download games that so much other stuff that can be done right and that's what's really -- that's coming -- this fall that a little taste of it for right now where you can get page. Download in the -- to -- for seventeen days of liberalism with it's basically a company like it but didn't have some fun with it that's me holidays that's the Senate that's the -- stuff. And they'll think it's the book without charge or. It would be really fun and gotten my guess is -- hall where they're making games and other economic and how often we need to go home tonight. And download some project yeah I just with the and just get an idea for whether that with -- do you know we really cool very cool the other end was -- other big games and epic games coming out to. Unit fable two coming you've gotten into -- to coming. You've got to human which has been under wraps for a long time and then of course the big unveiling was gears of war with you and his and his chainsaw machine guns now I gotta put on my clueless have a moment is. You're what was that last one sports is that if Microsoft property -- that's the question actually it is and Microsoft property. But it's an epic games so epic many games because that North Carolina and it unreal and they make the game. But -- but -- actually license oh the world in the other beings are non Microsoft announcements. Well when conspicuous absence. -- PS3'S home where where home network you guys -- likely that -- live on the street. But there nothing but I'll -- life. There it is it's like that the box or two people wandering around the worlds like second life right that's the one gets like second life and -- that that's one of my other concerns -- second life is like there with people. Actually go to the second like on their economy it's great marketing having weaker stats about these people are going right but. -- company millions like Coca-Cola spends on there there. Right so -- people probably is on -- right now which is that there's no rules on home at yet again that disturbs me because last year's EC that showed us home. And that was -- are you okay this is cool the idea of being able to. Go with your friends to their apartment but then play different games and -- you can go to a game -- it was a group but -- if you could go some place. And okay let's go play rainbow six Vegas two -- you know we're done with that let's go play. You know some of the -- let's -- please. Lost and another -- go play these games it was simply burn out together and we're done with burnout what's been placed on strategy and you can keep that group of friends moving around together and that's me. I need to I can see it in want to see you finish. Okay. But there was no -- no sign the -- no -- and it would be nice obviously the whole Blu-ray thing. But that probability we're talking about what really but he going to be -- ray drive and Xbox 360. You know Microsoft talked about that at one time that's available in the immediate right for the business. I think that that's an easy way of saying you know what the business for -- was all along getting to digital downloads and did anyone really think of the Xbox sixties and HD player. Now it's -- different places disturbs me that -- 360 run it disturbs the gaming experience of first person shooters. He wanted to watch a movie like that I think that they got to where they wanted to do I don't think I don't suspect I don't expect to see it but it. So you -- for the conspiracy theory. I didn't think you know what -- actually fine -- but -- kind of kind of divide this one. Speaking of his that you what do you department of your comments but I've gone on -- and the digital lifestyle that's your real people here we go look what we've got we've got burst -- accurate listed. In you're Xbox 360 mr. Norton. Evidently offered this that you off probably may want to buy a slightly used Xbox 362. -- Well in the volume is plummeting as we speak esoteric asked what -- do you want for it. -- eroded. That it offers seven dollars and thirty cents an American shipping of course would not be on him you know sorry say about that is it's small enough for email us prices and finally there was no like hundred dollar pack right on -- at 2530 -- about it as an annual. You don't have that I'll buy it -- was enjoy -- when you say you're looking to sell something that you ought to say hey why not because I'm hoping about I would just for Battlestar Galactica. And you know you can get hold of three staff design it's a possibility of actually think you've actually inspired me to native gonna build machines that do nothing but loop. The HD dvds Battlestar Galactica over and over again. Well. You don't really need these. And out of that and the Xbox contents. Early Xbox. HD dvd drive related content our second -- comments that won't response --"

Anyways so yeah you know this because. I'm gonna -- an MP3 actually supports would be to do with the iPod however -- looking for something that's an MP3 player with excellent sound quality -- about iPods acts against competition. So Patrick where you go for bit hardware for people."

" Well -- iPods are actually pretty good start. But let's take a step back from that -- it is there's three stages to this. There's this hardware itself right here's the quality of the files you're putting on the hardware garbage in garbage out exactly and if you got you know thousands of 128. Kill bit per second MP3 -- the Internet. Going for audio file quality audio is pointless because your source is miserable so if you if you're talking like -- answers audio file. And you're using you know Apple -- closer. Black or windows media audio loss list. Then okay we're gonna start to really good space which we're likely to the file size for the truth is is actually on but also as an iPod Apple iPod. Several actually because least it review products related to them. And for my big eighties by Apple iPod everything on it is lost looks -- feed that into a 200 dollar pair of art -- like -- he said that the headphones. So you might be audio file can. You know I've gotten pretty use headphones for those. Both my listing though because they don't like if you look at target when I'm on the subway is brought up Harrison basically an iPod shuffle. Whether set at about it that look like -- they sound amazing. And actually the iPod shuffle as as little bit more sort of low and the original iPods Apple has that really nice well defined low end and it's a sense -- and -- These is that shockingly equipment that the quality of the player. Please into the code in its pocket because there's so many good players out now its its its hard to its its you know if you spent in you know a hundred bucks. Or more it's really hard by bad player you can do it it's not that hard.

Resource on line delivery for the record you know it's one of the nicest forms -- that people will actually help either happy -- Saudia have you the Zune actually shockingly good I was pleasantly surprised -- I -- of these earlier in the year or late last year. And the Zune actually. Sounds -- You know I can't I cannot tell the -- quality difference between. I cannot -- I cannot really tell a quality difference between this and and in iPod. I mean you know in evidently didn't play games on it because -- CDC they were showing off -- now working we've played games on Amazon -- the community -- like that somebody puts a very strange video most useful and turned off. The -- what this actually Archos if you're looking for from -- more be oriented -- 65 is an awesome. Video player. That also does pretty good job music zen V plus two gigabytes of in the box that four gigabytes and we should also say there's kind of a big divide between flash memory player which usually top -- need to sixteen. Megabytes 816 gigabytes. Versus the hard drive players which are topping that usually he -- 3000 plus has a lot of pirate he's nice clean simple interface on that one. And one of my personal favorites the river clicks too expensive but it really nice piece of art I'd love it when you pull this out you don't have an iPod -- every little askew. It's usually. Great and has always had a precipitation stands yeah it would add its funny it's I've had some other products have been better than other some other flash products what they were so like. It's an MP3. And the voice recorder and -- edited nuclear reactor control you mean there was like your obesity.

" It every meet Patrick I've heard you have the -- the few ways to jumpstart dvds into a more portable form well if this word and a big lesson that more portable format you've you've. You you have a collection of dvds and popular in general brigadier general and it's funny -- you know whether it's it's a four year old who plays frisbee or want to put on your portable device your notebook -- travel with your card collection orbit put your dvd collection on a centralized server you accidentally -- your home.

Your thoughts but don't send me emails about how things in the country has a lot of ways they're changing -- equally important that the whole other story like your opening a can of worms there are haunting him or. What's what's interesting right is. -- him right right very popular tool -- was like I like the law program. Take -- from dvd directly to mpeg four has some pretty cool new we're just came out but when it gets -- point nine two came out. Have some really cool shall surround sounds pour out my Apple TV. This round sent an mpeg four file formats it's really slick stuff. Sometimes her right entities that are open herbal open into gibberish or you can access it or basically it's -- significant it. And what that -- people to use it or not really ripping tool. We're going to -- that you preset that. We're gonna watch it appears he earlier ipodder wouldn't want that's -- Rican it basically re compile I'd hate to -- so you get into a couple of interesting tools one that probably the simplest one -- your PC there's a bunch options out there. Forget about pony up your credit card buy a copy any dvd. It applies. Well actually you know this would actually -- an amber several places and they hampered for the -- back but it's basically. It's a driver and it inserts itself in between your applications and the disc essentially and it basically. If you go in let's say -- about boot. Look at that went on there and people fox American to sit down there. Didn't. It's really funny Vista is just like an operating systems sometimes. Be different. So we're gonna wait for Vista to. Not doing whatever it's doing. -- Indy dvds is essentially is it later in between your applications or operating system and the copy protection in the various and sundry devices that have been installed and there is. Basically you can't hear you can't we can't he can't -- copy protection dvd because you have. All these 1015 year old probably held dvd players now. At first thought dvd player Patrick settled a book that he needs somebody older folks like myself where they seem to be very old at this point. But you still have to maintain compatibility all the all the players right -- is -- that it's mostly designed to confuse computers. And doesn't really -- dvd player skips over these things for example extra blanks and you know sort restructuring of the code there. And is this still angered me this won't click on anything so it's. We'll skip through the -- part of that. He did they open up any dvds -- you inventory of the disk utility habitat destruction that -- all the various things it looks forward the end of it. It gives you access to the dvds you watch it started you want to turn it off you want to when you want you. And a lot of applications that can open it guess we'll suddenly be able to open disk you can use. It like it's like magic the only downside is. There's a free 21 day trial to suggest everybody check speakers about it. I don't -- is is it salute -- a year it would be the word ports it's up to 49 dollars. Four should be 49 euros these -- one to one Euro with dollar not so much anymore now so much anymore which basically means if I'm just by an application it's gonna be like seventy. Two's and three dollars but on the exchange rates. Check that. And that's kind of a bombers not a cheap tool but if you do a lot of this work and you don't feel like hacking around all the chips you know secure applications. For it swapping some New -- sense. Expect laudable this last year. You can pick up -- dvd you know what I like about using a program like this and utility I had it -- Mac is Mac the ripper which which gets immunity also. Here's what's cool is you have these portable players and using different -- you can get a file size you can live with for a quality you can -- you know I don't -- five point one sound iPod. So or maybe you do want -- TV -- from Apple TV so I can make those adjustments can build the -- one and watch it where it want to with it seems to me it seems to me that windows tends to be -- more restrictive little more sensitive said the additional copy protection for -- and is a lot of stuff like there's there's -- that that and -- doesn't seem to open on on -- open his -- open source you know they've they've -- Or at least the ones of these in the windows analyst at the simplest form.

And I can be after the IC absolutely no problem operating in this way. Although who knows maybe. Maybe operating -- with cream problem. That'll play back there media but I do it'll work for me and it's gonna account of what problems or problems. -- The question comes from David if you write -- with a good program too. -- The latest format new drives it. There's nondestructive partitioning let's say you're like I'm gonna install second operating system where when have a second partition on the strive. But I don't want copy all the data often legal everything's do you want to sort of it's great out of partition and for that you did not destructive partitioning tool. So drastically different thing. Or there's this format in the sense of I want to destroy yet all the data on my machine before zealots. In which case they say just use here exclude you because it's the deal yet -- right there that's. Multi pass -- it's gone being remembered -- you know beyond Department of Defense -- thousand Leo right to a picture we'd put the button it is it is the big one yet -- basically for -- scrutiny create bootable disk images writes ones and zeros all of the drive over over and over and over again for as long as you. So let you know comes from John you know other programs that are able to convert -- and MP -- my Zune doesn't sport the black and but before -- apartments flex let's Apple lossless audio. Exactly well particularly like that right -- that would be amazing you know if you can check the Internet I'd over produce anything other than free lossless audio codec but it approaches -- Anyway so that it -- play -- and it is these Amazon. -- Well first of all he pretty much convert. You know whether it's black or monkey's audio or insert name of your losses you know Apple's waffles you know there's is a bizarrely different -- I tend to use something called. And pretend if you will these magic. DB power and that the power to freak out about it old school old school old school but a meeting in that it suspect clean simple tool -- have a really cool but -- power back converters you can. Excellent the huge number of files automatically convert them it's -- quality going to hit go and run for one machine. The downside is that if you're gonna have to pay couple blocks I think nine dollars actually to MP3 support because the -- hopper entity that owns the copyrights. -- MP3 -- upset that the house. Was getting away for free it's little -- times at that point. It's it's what it's agree that that's a really cool vehicles on there and some really slick tools for corporate stuff absolutely -- professional tool you know if you want to if you if you plan on putting a lot of files from black I mean I've pulled the stuff of -- eleven day -- believe from office via in the archives. You know it's there's there's lots of tools out there that'll do this my personal theory. And you I would consider if your revenues in converting them to windows media audio for the format victory. He gave you a little more audio quality for missing file -- Christopher."

" Bigger crisper right to pieces of it why isn't quite -- It'll put the LCD HTTP about quarter fifty dollars almost double the cost of the same size LCD widescreen monitor which he. That was butler -- it. Though perhaps a tutor and speakers really -- dollars more we're missing something if your media Centre PC with -- HDTV tuner internal or USB. Couldn't you just add an LCD monitor have HDTV."

" It -- well it it it there's kind of like three things your first of all to a thirty dollars is incredibly cheaper point -- and Entergy if you're certain new or or Google shoppers who shopping 200 dollars is kind of you know you at the Hyatt between thirty dollars and you view sonic is going to be -- to record.

Via LCD television -- LCD -- DTVs that Nielsen monitor Christopher. What it -- trying to say basically is yes yes. Thursday yet. You know teen drivers are probably short of the monitor runs they have less -- sort of advertising development expenses -- right now we're we're using we're using the -- we use Samsung's ressam we use them dealt. -- much monitor that great in this election. I would say buy something that -- a lot of inputs on it a lot of variety that you get your best bang for your buck. The one 11 thing the thing about is make sure if you want to be doing HD content and make sure she should be compatible yes. And that's gonna usually little or it's gonna be HTTP compatible."

" What would Tekzilla because Patrick Norton and I'm currently we have a great show lined up for you today coming up on this episode.

Mr. Garnett -- The head up walk up dot com like the chief of it's cheaper reviews interviews. Game developers conference last week what the big what with what what's happening in games."

" You know one of the most interesting things to me was the PC gaming alliance announcement which if you can hear about it easy game -- created -- what Microsoft has actually part of this alliance. Which is even stranger because Patrick they are the guys behind games for windows -- RB a magazine games with his magazine and it was so successful. Well you know that's -- as it is still struggling to get the word out and that one of the big elements behind this is gaming on the windows platforms -- it's an update -- every time you look at metrics they actually there's a great -- apartment between who's winning and you know are they actually is PC gaming going away. What it what comes out with people playing different sorts of games and their currencies and getting different ways whether you know its pristine digital downloads -- we'll hear about -- peers through as Xbox and the gravity but nobody ever talks about PC to PC gaming not yet that at all by any -- commitment to so the PC gaming alliance it brings to the table people like Intel and AMD and then also Microsoft. The uniform in the government is consortium that when I don't understand is it really giving up on games for windows because. With when the point was made its games for windows is is more of the ring -- sort of thing CC -- the boxes -- against windows branding. And in the PC gaming alliance is going to be more about. Getting the word out and evangelizing for the PC systems how would you say evangelizing argument evangelizing game developers were evangelizing and yours to upgrade their machines they can play your game to that question but that Patrick. Debate not making clear Microsoft you know that is it -- that this is a Microsoft and this was done. The last -- at -- press conference of and it's actually is the -- who's in charge of it is from Intel so that brought in that brought in key personnel from all of these players have everybody equally represented. Microsoft for their part they grow up -- Xbox friend that's that's what's big for them right so their keynote they went on both ends of the extremes. They had you know the what exactly is if you Xbox group home along with watching what was going did you see. You could download the Saxony creation suite where you could go and look at like these games. That students are making that Barack developers are making -- relief fund they don't believe the sort of like kind puzzle league games addition we that was all kinds of stuff there if you look at that sort of stuff -- doing right now there's no reason that we're all playing colored block matching games for it for you download games that so much other stuff that can be done right and that's what's really -- that's coming -- this fall that a little taste of it for right now where you can get page. Download in the -- to -- for seventeen days of liberalism with it's basically a company like it but didn't have some fun with it that's me holidays that's the Senate that's the -- stuff. And they'll think it's the book without charge or. It would be really fun and gotten my guess is -- hall where they're making games and other economic and how often we need to go home tonight. And download some project yeah I just with the and just get an idea for whether that with -- do you know we really cool very cool the other end was -- other big games and epic games coming out to. Unit fable two coming you've gotten into -- to coming. You've got to human which has been under wraps for a long time and then of course the big unveiling was gears of war with you and his and his chainsaw machine guns now I gotta put on my clueless have a moment is. You're what was that last one sports is that if Microsoft property -- that's the question actually it is and Microsoft property. But it's an epic games so epic many games because that North Carolina and it unreal and they make the game. But -- but -- actually license oh the world in the other beings are non Microsoft announcements. Well when conspicuous absence. -- PS3'S home where where home network you guys -- likely that -- live on the street. But there nothing but I'll -- life. There it is it's like that the box or two people wandering around the worlds like second life right that's the one gets like second life and -- that that's one of my other concerns -- second life is like there with people. Actually go to the second like on their economy it's great marketing having weaker stats about these people are going right but. -- company millions like Coca-Cola spends on there there. Right so -- people probably is on -- right now which is that there's no rules on home at yet again that disturbs me because last year's EC that showed us home. And that was -- are you okay this is cool the idea of being able to. Go with your friends to their apartment but then play different games and -- you can go to a game -- it was a group but -- if you could go some place. And okay let's go play rainbow six Vegas two -- you know we're done with that let's go play. You know some of the -- let's -- please. Lost and another -- go play these games it was simply burn out together and we're done with burnout what's been placed on strategy and you can keep that group of friends moving around together and that's me. I need to I can see it in want to see you finish. Okay. But there was no -- no sign the -- no -- and it would be nice obviously the whole Blu-ray thing. But that probability we're talking about what really but he going to be -- ray drive and Xbox 360. You know Microsoft talked about that at one time that's available in the immediate right for the business. I think that that's an easy way of saying you know what the business for -- was all along getting to digital downloads and did anyone really think of the Xbox sixties and HD player. Now it's -- different places disturbs me that -- 360 run it disturbs the gaming experience of first person shooters. He wanted to watch a movie like that I think that they got to where they wanted to do I don't think I don't suspect I don't expect to see it but it. So you -- for the conspiracy theory. I didn't think you know what -- actually fine -- but -- kind of kind of divide this one. Speaking of his that you what do you department of your comments but I've gone on -- and the digital lifestyle that's your real people here we go look what we've got we've got burst -- accurate listed. In you're Xbox 360 mr. Norton. Evidently offered this that you off probably may want to buy a slightly used Xbox 362. -- Well in the volume is plummeting as we speak esoteric asked what -- do you want for it. -- eroded. That it offers seven dollars and thirty cents an American shipping of course would not be on him you know sorry say about that is it's small enough for email us prices and finally there was no like hundred dollar pack right on -- at 2530 -- about it as an annual. You don't have that I'll buy it -- was enjoy -- when you say you're looking to sell something that you ought to say hey why not because I'm hoping about I would just for Battlestar Galactica. And you know you can get hold of three staff design it's a possibility of actually think you've actually inspired me to native gonna build machines that do nothing but loop. The HD dvds Battlestar Galactica over and over again. Well. You don't really need these. And out of that and the Xbox contents. Early Xbox. HD dvd drive related content our second -- comments that won't response --"

" We have last week by getting Xbox 360 online in the dorms at a -- university. On the -- net if you well which only allows two IP addresses neither of which is supposed to be gaming machine first we have. Who writes in what I work for university servicing machines and the last thing you should be suggesting connecting routers to dorm networks however. I -- all the way to get your Xbox 360 on the network just get another ethernet card or USB Lan adapter. Connect the Xbox 360 together card internal -- yes and -- computers basically go from your Xbox 360 to a second ethernet connector. On your PC and turn on music teacher about that kids -- Internet registry that's a good thing. Just like the second -- Xbox connect perfectly.

Anyways so yeah you know this because. I'm gonna -- an MP3 actually supports would be to do with the iPod however -- looking for something that's an MP3 player with excellent sound quality -- about iPods acts against competition. So Patrick where you go for bit hardware for people."

" Well -- iPods are actually pretty good start. But let's take a step back from that -- it is there's three stages to this. There's this hardware itself right here's the quality of the files you're putting on the hardware garbage in garbage out exactly and if you got you know thousands of 128. Kill bit per second MP3 -- the Internet. Going for audio file quality audio is pointless because your source is miserable so if you if you're talking like -- answers audio file. And you're using you know Apple -- closer. Black or windows media audio loss list. Then okay we're gonna start to really good space which we're likely to the file size for the truth is is actually on but also as an iPod Apple iPod. Several actually because least it review products related to them. And for my big eighties by Apple iPod everything on it is lost looks -- feed that into a 200 dollar pair of art -- like -- he said that the headphones. So you might be audio file can. You know I've gotten pretty use headphones for those. Both my listing though because they don't like if you look at target when I'm on the subway is brought up Harrison basically an iPod shuffle. Whether set at about it that look like -- they sound amazing. And actually the iPod shuffle as as little bit more sort of low and the original iPods Apple has that really nice well defined low end and it's a sense -- and -- These is that shockingly equipment that the quality of the player. Please into the code in its pocket because there's so many good players out now its its its hard to its its you know if you spent in you know a hundred bucks. Or more it's really hard by bad player you can do it it's not that hard.

And the Zune actually. Sounds -- You know I can't I cannot tell the -- quality difference between. I cannot -- I cannot really tell a quality difference between this and and in iPod. I mean you know in evidently didn't play games on it because -- CDC they were showing off -- now working we've played games on Amazon -- the community -- like that somebody puts a very strange video most useful and turned off. The -- what this actually Archos if you're looking for from -- more be oriented -- 65 is an awesome. Video player. That also does pretty good job music zen V plus two gigabytes of in the box that four gigabytes and we should also say there's kind of a big divide between flash memory player which usually top -- need to sixteen. Megabytes 816 gigabytes. Versus the hard drive players which are topping that usually he -- 3000 plus has a lot of pirate he's nice clean simple interface on that one. And one of my personal favorites the river clicks too expensive but it really nice piece of art I'd love it when you pull this out you don't have an iPod -- every little askew. It's usually. Great and has always had a precipitation stands yeah it would add its funny it's I've had some other products have been better than other some other flash products what they were so like. It's an MP3. And the voice recorder and -- edited nuclear reactor control you mean there was like your obesity.

We're gonna watch it appears he earlier ipodder wouldn't want that's -- Rican it basically re compile I'd hate to -- so you get into a couple of interesting tools one that probably the simplest one -- your PC there's a bunch options out there. Forget about pony up your credit card buy a copy any dvd. It applies. Well actually you know this would actually -- an amber several places and they hampered for the -- back but it's basically. It's a driver and it inserts itself in between your applications and the disc essentially and it basically. If you go in let's say -- about boot. Look at that went on there and people fox American to sit down there. Didn't. It's really funny Vista is just like an operating systems sometimes. Be different. So we're gonna wait for Vista to. Not doing whatever it's doing. -- Indy dvds is essentially is it later in between your applications or operating system and the copy protection in the various and sundry devices that have been installed and there is.

At first thought dvd player Patrick settled a book that he needs somebody older folks like myself where they seem to be very old at this point. But you still have to maintain compatibility all the all the players right -- is -- that it's mostly designed to confuse computers. And doesn't really -- dvd player skips over these things for example extra blanks and you know sort restructuring of the code there. And is this still angered me this won't click on anything so it's. We'll skip through the -- part of that. He did they open up any dvds -- you inventory of the disk utility habitat destruction that -- all the various things it looks forward the end of it.
