lid says... In article , says... How do you make a perfect copy of a dual layered DVD movie - on 2 or more discs? 4.3Gig is the (current) max on a DVD+/-R Use a program (http://www.dvdfab.com/) that splits it on to 2 disks. Slightly more hassle, as you have to change disks during the movie, but still the same quality as the original. I do this all the time for my kids, and keep the originals in a safe place.

They don't have to any more. That's a very good point - now that the BBC is going to be available on all kinds of equipment where this functionality cannot be guaranteed, it strengthens the case for some form of universally compatible on-screen identification of what people are watching. Yep - except that the BBC is FTA in the DVB-S standard - which includes Station ID and Now/Next channel info as part of the basic standard. The Sky EPG is in addition, rather than as a replacement to this, so the BBC Channel Ids as displayed on Sky should also appear on FTA receivers. So still no real requirement for a permanent DOG on-screen - and the Beeb are not burning them in permanently thankfully. Steve |

writes ROTFL!! You seem to do little else but watch channels with DOGs ... simply to check, minute by minute, whether the DOGs are still there! It's an obsession! Of course they are obsessed. They have sad empty lives that they fill with watching TV channels to complain about and then cluttering up perfectly good newsgroups with whines about their sad little obsession. I fully support TV channels having identification onscreen. Always have. Always will. Happily the broadcasters support my point of view. :) -- James Masterton - www.masterton.co.uk |

But since recievers cannot be relied upon to present this information to the user, it remains that an embedded picture identifier is the only truly universal solution. No, the truly universal solution is for people who want to see the channel name, to buy something that displays the channel name. It's like saying you can't guarantee teletext is available on all TVs, thus all TV programs should have teletext superimposed on them. -- David Taylor To reply via e-mail: replace [email protected] with @yadt.co.

Hm, they might be watching a recording and want to know when it was broadcast. Better make sure to put the date and time along with channel name and logo on screen at all times. Hmm, you'll need the program name too. If they're watching a recording they might not be able to get subtitles, so we'd better put them on too. Seriously, that's a silly argument for covering up the program with a DOG. Sure, put a channel/program ident before the program, or in between advert breaks, but not on-screen 24/7. -- David Taylor To reply via e-mail: replace [email protected] with @yadt.co.

Assuming that the information is broadcast in the first place, of course. I'll give you a real-world example. Last night I watched a programme on my FTA reciever. It did not announce what it was, it did not announce the channel. There was no on-screen identifier, no EPG data of any kind, and the channel itself was called something ridiculous like "SERVICE 0". Situations like these where an on-screen logo is downright essential, if you ask me.. |

That's why most of us keep a pen in the house somewhere. It's handy for writing little notes. Sorry, but these excuses for DOGs are just pathetic. Get a grip. Luke -- Spammers!
