I'm about to kill myself trying to get DVD burning software...

Can somebody tell me a good software program to download to burn DVDs on my external DVD player??

I've been using Roxio, and it's burned nothing but a few good frisbees. I've tried to download Nero but it never has the option of burning full DVDs.

Can somebody tell me where to get a Nero that can actually BURN real DVDs from file, or something else that can??
I will be forever in your debt.

Thanks, from a very disheartened Star Wars geek.

Idea -- Original Theatrical Prequels

Would anyone involved in skillful DVD/Video editing be interested in editing the prequel DVDs to match how they were presented in theatres?

It's not a huge edit.
Episode one would require removing certain parts of the podrace sequence, some shots on Coruscant, etc.

And Episode two would only really require a few lines and shots taken out.

It's really not a huge undertaking, but it might be a good idea for huge Star Wars fans. Just to have the "original" version of the prequels too.

Feel free to flame.

Here's all the changes I'm assuming we can anticipate for ROTS.


Different title and (better) opening crawl
Jar Jar dubbed and subtitled
Neimondians dubbed and subtitled
Dooku's lightsaber changed to yello
Any mention of Dooku as being a Sith lord right out will probably be at least attempted to be worked around
Deleted scenes will be incorporated, and some scenes taken out

Thought on de-SE'ing the DVD

Originally, that's the way it was. Jabba was only in ROTJ.

Then they added a God-awful CGI skeleton CRAPTHING of him in ANH, much to our dismay. But ideally, he isn't in ANH, since this is merely the Special Edition.

Then he makes a brief cameo in TPM. But in the famed BOTF re-edit of it, Jabba is edited out simply b/c there's no real reason for him to be there and it works much better to just have him appear in ROTJ IMHO.
That's why I think it'd be a much wiser choice to cut the ANH Jabba scene out entirely, to keep with the general O-OT enthusiast concensus.

But a seamless-branching thing works too. I'm interested in what his alternate subitltes will be as well.

Oh and BTW, being a Star Wars buff named Kirk is odd. lol
That's probably why everyone that hears I like Star Wars, they confuse it with Star TREK. So I then have to correct them, and make myself look even MORE geeky.

hehe. But I'm really NOT a geek tho.

I mean, look at this!

Yeah.... Cap'n isn't a nickname I appreciate.

Anyway, I'm liking the idea of a seamless branching for Jabba.
Just when you look at it the from saga perspective (or even Trilogy perspective) it makes much more sense to omit him. He was removed from TPM, and I don't think a SE addition of him to ANH would be a good idea.

JUSt a thought. Good luck, it promises to be great.

My BOTF disc apparently is OK, but thanks for the warning.

I am very pleased with the ADigitalMan ROTJ edit. It wasn't an O-OT restoration, but rather, a watchable SE.

I don't think any LD footage was plugged back in, save the Shaw ghost.
The only thing I would've done differently (two things actually) would be to include the Ewok music as it pans back down to Endor. The galactic celebrations can stay, minus the Wesa Free line.
I would have included the original Lapti Nek in it's entirety, pugging in O-OT footage.

But I do like this take on it very much. I look forward to ANH and ESB.

My ONLY request is to PLEASE omit Jabba from appearing in ANH. Especially when you consider BOTF and the MagnoliaFan edits, this would greatly reduce inconsistency. The idea is to keep Jabba as a ROTJ-only character.

Well done.

The 'known error' with ESB is the four second pause between the "I think we better replace the negative power coupling" scene and the Liea "weilding" scene. No biggie really, IMO.

Incidentally, can SOMEBODY please help me???
I just plain cannot figure out how to make my external DVD burner burn. It's a Toshiba exernal drive, and it burned fine when I try to copy an already existing physical disc I have.
But it always runs into a problem with burning a DVD from file. It says it burned sucessfully, but neither one of my DVD players nor my PC will read it! Then the dialog box I played it with said an unspecified error crept up. Every time.

Can somebody either recommend a good software to use (PM me serial numbers if necessary) or just tell me what I'm doing wrong??

Thanks very much in advance... I'm sure it's a painfully obvious answer that I'll feel stupid for overlooking.
