Just got it for $7.99 in Canada. Canadian Amazon doesn't have it and the

My question is: Is it possible to burn these videos to a DVD so you can
watch them on TV or am I supposed to be happy to watch this fuzzy screen
that skips frames constantly?

I'm going to try burning it this afternoon, because it's unbearable to
watch it in i-tunes for the reasons you stated. Freezes and skips. I
dont understand why. I can watch youtube videos online with no
problem, so why do I have so much trouble with i-tunes?

I can't even watch the videos. All four of them come up grey screen
with no sound,
but the time counter running. I've never had any problems before with anything
I've downloaded from iTUnes



I have the same problem, but if I play the videos WITHIN iTunes they
work fine -- no skips, no freezes, no nothing. One of the reasons I'm
a skeptic about the Apple mystique is that it can be pretty hard to
figure out where the actual files are on your PC. Don't put it in a
damn "library." iTunes, just ask me what folder I want to save it in
when I download it and then I'll be able to find it when I want it!
(Confession: I've downloaded lots of free podcasts from iTunes but
never bought anything from them before.)

Once I did actually locate the videos in the folder iTunes stuck it in
without telling me, I double-clicked on them, expecting them to play
as if they were in Media Player or any plain ol' media software.
Instead I got a gray screen, no sound, no video, but with the clock
running, just like Charles. But if I open up iTunes and play them in
the iTunes "library" they work perfectly.

Anybody understand why this is? And if I burn them to DVD will I be
able to play them on my TV and stereo system?

PS. Like others, I also bought the MP3's from Amazon to get the
higher sampling rate. Easily worth another 3 bucks, especially for a
charitable cause.
