This is great to hear! I'll make sure you get another batch real soon! Thanks for all your hard work!

What should I do?
by John Hagerson 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

I purchased a number of packages of Verbatim DVD-R media which it appears that my Sony DVD drive doesn't like. Should I replace the DVD drive and use this media, or (what I think I prefer) keep the drive, pass along this media to another US-based volunteer, and get different media for myself? I'm near Chicago. Thank you for your suggestions. John Hagerson

Exception to "no customs declaration" rule
by John Hagerson 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

It appears that CD and/or DVD shipments into Canada require a customs declaration. The shipper's and recipient's full name and address must appear on the package as well. It would be simpler if we had an able volunteer in Canada. Oh well.

CD and dvd purchase
by Barbara Reed 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Is there anyone in UK who can buy me a couple or boxes of cds and dvds for me to collect when I am next in UK? (against repayment, of course) The reason I ask is that France taxes them to pay music copyright fees, which trebles the price, and as what we are doing a; isn't music and b; isn't copyrighted, I don't see any need to pay this.... I have friends at Bidford on Avon (near Stratford on Avon) who could keep them till I pass, but don't usually have time for shoping, and have nearly finished the stack I already have With best wishes From the lady of the changeable locks, soggy shazadi, duchess of darkness and damp, Barbara Reed, and all the furry friends. Dalie asks you to sponsor her in aid of the Brooke Hospital, you can visit at http://www.thebrooke.org She is walking from Nantes to Brest in 2005 and wants your money to help working animals in poor countries. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Citation for Postal Service
by John Hagerson 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

If there are any United States Postal Service wonks out there (I confess that I'm one), the citation of the exemption from a customs declaration of international airmail letter-post items weighing less than 16 ounces that do not contain potentially dutiable contents is International Mailing Services, Exhibit 123.61.

RE: [dvdvol] where do you get your DVDs
by Simpson, Mark (NESL-IT) 29 Nov '04

For those in Europe, I would echo our stateside friends in recommending Ritek G04 DVDs. I've just bought 100 from www.bigpockets.co.uk Product link : http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/product.php?product=DVR7091-10 Works out about £0.28 each (around $0.58 at todays rate...). They are exceptional quality, and I have not had a failed one at all, after many burns. What's more important though, is that they will probably be playable on a wider variety of DVD readers, unlike some other brands that I've had trouble with on my stand alone DVD recorder (Datawrite yellows come to mind...). If anyone fancies getting together in Europe, you're welcome to come to Newcastle upon tyne for some of the best pizza in the North of England.

where do you get your DVDs
by Aaron Cannon 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

I'm curious to know where our burners are getting their DVDs? What brand do you prefer? How much do you pay? I'm getting ready to buy a bunch more and was hoping to perhaps get some ideas. Also, I just noticed that most of our mailers seem to be in the same general area. I am in Davenport Iowa, and many of you seem to be living in various parts of IL. Perhaps we can all get together for lunch sometime. :) Of course you folks from Europe are certainly invited as well. Thanks all for your hard work!
