Try using the gelatin ones, at least if you drop them they don't break although they're easier to scratch.

There's a patch available on their website that fixes that.
If applied properly, it'll also help you quit smoking.
I'm down to two hams a day myself.

wow - Fisher-Price HDV codecs - nah.... I don't have the green (or whatever you'd spend to get that) - I get the Toys R'us brand one - little lower quality compression - but I never have a dropped frame.

You also have to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" song while turning or it'll lock up on you ;)

... but you still have to pay and download the Crazy Glue even after a lenghty registration process ... anyway, the Crazy Glue froze my computer...

... doesn't say that anywhere in the help files or the pdf manual ... maybe Internet Explorer stripped out the words and music ...

Playing?!?!?!? - you mean there is no Fisher-Price HDV codec? and no Silly putty Stretch - well then I'm definately staying with my Toys R'us codec - crazy koo koo's

>>staying with my Toys R'us codec<<

... not me ... it doesn't get any respect in the industry... I have to use what the big guys are using and anything other than Fisher-Price puts me at a disadvantage .... I'm tired of being laughed at by the Huffy crowd...

You guys must not be registered users, because I see no mention of anyone using their free Hasbro dual layer blue ray 8x DVD burner, which comes in the packed bundle, available through their email special offer to registered users.

I'm still trying to find the most compatible DVD-R's though, so far the Mattel and Tonka brands, I've had unsuccessful burns where I was left with an unusable magic 8 ball and a worn out truck tire respectively. I was going to try the Matchbox, or Hotwheels brand but latter discovered those are also made by Mattel and just rebranded. Any suggestions?

... you're supposed to lick off the chocolate coating before you slip them into the tray...

DV Rack requires a *real* laptop to run. Only toys run off a Hot Wheels laptop. In fact, I've only found one site that has anything with total system compatibility:

I use a portable Etch-a-Sketch monitor for previewing my footage on something similar to what the consumer will see. (fit's right on my Key chain - kinda small though)
