Puggo GRANDE - 16mm restoration (Released)
Time

Heh, there was an auction for some dragon ball film quite some time ago... episode 23 if I do recall.  The community I frequent denounced it as fake due to it originating from Orange County.


Would've been interesting...

Also, Puggo, I must say just how lucky you are.  What I wouldn't do to have Star Wars on film, even if it was 16mm...

Can you do the older Anakin?

Well, I'm certainly whiny enough, but I think I sound a bit young (only 16 after all).  I'll give it a whirl sometime in the future, but I'll be away for about 2 weeks so I don't know when that'll be.

Star Wars Movies on Blu-ray (and some documentary) News
Time

I think the lightsabers in ROTJ were caused by careless quality control after Lucas messed with the films post-remaster. 

I doubt those old documentaries will see the light of day, despite whatever hopes some of the staff have.  They go against everything Lucas has said for the past 10 years about his "vision", even stating that Leia could end up with anyone (I do not recall which this is stated in).

Unable to burn DVD+R DLs?
Time

Lucky you, being free of windows.  Yup, overwrote the drivers (since it said I was up-to-date, but I didn't wanna take a chance).

EDIT:  The drive is only reading blank single-layer DVDs, not even regular CDs.  This seems to mean there's something funky with the way the computer is using the drive... I really don't want to re-format over something like that, but I may have to.  I've uninstalled the drive, only to have Windows re-install it and give me the same problem.

EDIT DOS:  At the suggestion of someone else, going to see what happens if I load a live Knoppix CD.  If that's okay, then windows is effing up.  If not, I need a new burner.

Edit 3:  Well, it's reading CDs in Knoppix, but not blanks.  I'm guessing that's a limitation of the live CD.

I'd do that, but I'm pretty sure this thing has a warranty and opening it up to install that would void it.  Plus, *technically* it's not mine, it's the family's - and convincing them to upgrade is not an easy task.  Also, it appears mine is SATA.

Here's an image of my filter driver load order, in case this is the problem, someone else might be better fit to analyze it:

EDIT: This is probably important... appears to not be reading anything at all now...

Bought a new pack of Memorex just out of curiosity.  Definitely not the media - not a single one from this pack has even been recognized by the computer.  Thinks the drive is empty.  I would accept that my computer can't burn them if I hadn't been successful previously.  I can't fathom WHY it says "medium not present" on both imgburn and the computer itself.  Somehow I don't think Verbatim would help with this situation, however I'd gladly upgrade to those once I figure out what the heck is wrong.

As useless as I'm sure this will be, I'm gonna contact DELL.  Thanks for trying guys.
