-pops- Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 You can get a collection of codecs from click here which will provide almost every codec available.Personally, I would never play a freebie disc from a newspaper in any machine of mine after a very bad experience some years ago when a CD from a Sunday paper decide to destroy itself in the player - it was at a time when CD players were quite expensive.

-pops- Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I would never combine my TV and computer monitor. OK, one of my computers has a TV card to allow the recording of programmes but, other than that, I keep them totally separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
