I don't think we can both be using the connection at the same time, but I haven't really checked. Woman did say the other day that she wasn't connected, but I haven't really paid much attention to it just yet. Roxio's Drag-to-Disc... omg... New machine with stuff pre-loaded. Boot and tons of stuff in the little icon tray thing running in the background. Turn this off, turn that off, blah blah blah. One of those things is Drag-to-Disc by Roxio. So I finally get around to burning some files to DVD. Guess what? Blank DVDs are not being recognized. Fine. Boot and let Roxio stay on. Blanks still not being recognized. WTF? After a few minutes, I find Enable Drag-to-Disc for this Drive. Turn that on. Blanks still not being recognized. After more looking around, I find Enable Drag-to-Disc in the Roxio software. Fine, turn that on, too. So, hardware and software both have to be enabled. Whatever. But the blanks are being recognized and files are being prepared for burning. Finally. Get the files copied/cached... and I'm stuck again. Where's the 'Write these files to DVD' button? Non-existant. Nothing found anywhere at all. Not in the running software or in the Help files. Burn pls? Denied! Ugh. Alright, time to take a break. Eject the DVD and go do something else for a bit. Like laundry. Chase the cats around. Something. Huh? When I ejected the blank DVD, another dialog popped up. 'How would you like to eject this DVD?' Options for keeping the DVD open or closing it. Why not? I choose Close the DVD for giggles and it starts to burn. 'Preparing to eject the DVD. This may from 1 to 15 minutes.' WTF? Seriously - WTF?! In order to burn the files, you have to eject the DVD. : kick : stomp : punch : bite : gnash : Who was the brainiac behind this decision?! OMGNOGTFO my base!! The little one got a set of alphabet magnets last Christmas. The other day I noticed that someone spelled BUT WHY? on the 'frig with said magnets. edit: Figured it out. When you use Drag-to-Disc, it burns the files as they are copied. When you eject, it does the lead-out if you want to close the disc. Wow.
