There is nothing morally wrong with copying a product that you own for your personal use. I do it once in a while with music CDs. I burn a clone to carry in my truck while the original remains in the home. I can't think of a justifiable reason to copy a DVD for personal use, but there may be one. In this instance the request and cited intent was unclear and appeared to be shady. Always remember on the Internet nothing is as it seems. "The FBI says......" I challenge that statement as being myth and legend. In Federal statutes, as in state statues regarding contraband, possession alone is a violation. Intent is not an element unless the individual is being charged with manufacture and delivery. DA

IF you have the original file from Movie Maker - you can put that into Roxio. I know there are several different versions of "Roxio" - but this is how I do it on mine. I open up DVD Builder - and add the "movie". I take out the Roxio intro - drives me nuts, LOL THen I burn the "Movie Maker" slideshow to DVD. WOrks great! I love using Movie Maker - the only drawback is that it doesn't burn to DVD. WHen I create the Movie Maker project, in step 3 - Save To Computer - I choose "Other Settings" - High Quality Video (NTSC) - then I burn onto DVD, that saved project using Roxio. Hope this is clear - LOL! I am not sure it makes any sense to anyone but me?

Gerry if you have a scanner you could scan the damaged ones and send them to me to try fixing. I am no expert but I enjoy those kinds of tasks. Just send one if you like so you can see how it turns out. I use Corel PhotoPaint but any better photo editing program will do the job. There is quite a learning curve though. When I started it would take me 40 minutes to swap a head, now I can do it in few minutes and the result is much better than my early days - mostly LOL. I have linked Gimp below, this is a free photo editing program you might like to try. You should grab the manual as well as the program perhaps. If you decide to send any please scan as bitmaps (bmp) rather than jpg and create a file of 2 megabytes or more so we have something good to start on. You can send it to earoles at canada.com - remove spaces and change 'at' to @ of course. Here is a link that might be useful: Gimp photo editor

I have Windows XP and when I am in My Pictures, I have the file and folder tasks down the left side of my screen. One of these tasks is copy this file (so I highlight the picture) then 'copy this file". When I select drive e: (which is my cd file - I have a separate dvd file) that's when I get the 'e: is not accessible.' In the past I have been able to transfer lots of pictures at one time. Now when I click on my e: drive, not even trying to transfer, it says not accessible. Also, I can put a music cd or game cd in that drive and it works. I just can't transfer or even click on the drive? I have an e-machine with Windows XP. Thanks for your help cboy - tried what you suggested, didn't work.
