This didn't help at all. I looked it up.

Gomen.

I guess it's an American thing. :sweat:

What I looked up doesn't make sense in the way cori used it, tho. :sweat:

Gadzooks is apparently some clothing brand created in texas...

I actually meant it as "Oh God.."

OHHHHHHHHHH. So cori was referring to her surprise at being called up after so long. I thought she was calling the guy a name...

That's a new word for me. Do they use it in Australia?

Man, that was totally lost on all of us, then. :beaten:

It's quite interesting to see how much interest my post stirred from one word alone. :hehe:

On topic: Um, I'm bothered that I don't know what bothers me so I don't know what bother to post in this bothered thread.

Not really. I have heard it used, but only in joking kind of way.

It bothers me that Ican't copy a DVD for someone... keep getting read errors :banghead:

Try another DVD burning. If a disc gives me errors on the PC, 9/10 it will burn fine on my mac.

I HATE when that happens! What I hate most is when I record something from the TV and my laptop can't read it. There goes a whole freaking series down the drain. :banghead:

Yeah, i'll try it at home. It's Aoi Tori, the disc is a good quality one and looks fine... Weird. I've also had trouble with another disc that works on my DVD player, but the comp says it's blank :banghead:

From the DVD recorder? I've had that too. Sometimes I have to put the disc back into the recorder and finalise it before it will work.

I recorded a movie from the TV the other night... but the movie started and finished 15 minutes later than advertised, so the end got cut off :grumble:

If you recorded it on a DVDR... it will usually play just fine on the DVDR.

So I simply daisy chain it to another DVDR and recopy it to the 2nd DVDR. (assuming you have at least 2 DVDRs, I now have 5 although 2 of them are analogue and pretty much useless now.).

Sometimes my Mom would say, "Pshaw!!" :headscratch: (The "P" is silent) [/list:u]

Can you try reading the disc from another PC or laptop?

bmwracer wrote:

I thought maybe from "egad" as the origin. :headscratch:

sadacori wrote:

Think that was the origin for egad. :P

I tried finalizing the disc, but it got up to 60% before it failed. :/ Sucked that that episode I recorded in 2 separate recorders and BOTH of them failed. :banghead:

It plays on the DVDR and on my laptop, but it's not able to be finalized or copied. Strange stuff.

And I do have DVDRs. I have to figure out how to hook them up together, but I guess that's a question for another thread. :sweat:

Ok, Evie just won the gold star today. :bow:
