Wow! Thanks!

I’ve just installed it on both devices. Thanks!

Ooooh, I didn’t know about that. Thanks!

I disabled antivirus, tried again, and was told W11 home was already permanently activated. No upgrade-to-pro option. Oh, well.

Thanks. I’ve done the iTunes thing & find it cumbersome. Remote-sharing apps require that the OS permit remote sharing. W11 home version doesn’t.

Thanks. That works. Just looking for something a little less cumbersome.

Thanks. Done that. Trying to do it without the cable.

I tried MAS & got this error msg. Maybe I’ll go offline, turn off antivirus, & try again. If I understand correctly, no remote-control apps will work unless that’s enabled in Windows.

Yes. I’ve used all of them, back to XP, & before that, MS-DOS. I bought a new computer a couple of years ago, & W11 came with it.

One of these days… I like my apps. I understand there aren’t as many available for Linux.

thanks

thanks

Found it. https://sci-hub.se/ Get link from JSTOR, then paste it into sci-hub. Startpage/Google/Bing/Yahoo weren’t any help. Yandex came through.

I know.

I didn’t do it. When I got to the recommended site for a pre-paid online card, I realized I’d have to provide bank info to yet another online site. I’m trying very hard not to do that. If there’s a particular performance you’re looking for, try a search engine, using composer, performer, and date. I often find Yandex is more useful than Google/Bing/Yahoo in finding videos of classical music. People post classical performance videos on VK and on disk space that comes with Yandex mail & VK mail. Western DRM doesn’t get checked as often there.

Problem solved by DVDShrink. Thanks, everyone.

Everything is set to region 0. Tried the DLL file and got this, “Your input can’t be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘file:///D:/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB’. Check the log for details.” Checked VLC using other files, and it’s fine.

Other discs work in same drive. This happened once before, and I used an app called BurnAware to fix and rip the DVD. Apparently it’s part of DRM meanness. BurnAware isn’t working on this one.

FWIW, the same thing happened a couple of years ago with a more contemporary DVD. At the time, I didn’t know I couldn’t just copy it. After using Windows copy function on it, I couldn’t play it. I found a program called BurnAware that fixed and ripped it. BurnAware isn’t able to recover this disc.

now trying to blame Ukraine

Blaming Russia was either stupid b/c putting the Nord Stream out of commission hurt Russia, or cynical b/c they thought we’d be stupid enough to buy that story. Blaming Ukraine has a basis in reality. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-had-intelligence-ukrainian-plan-attack-nord-stream-pipeline-washington-post-2023-06-06/ We may well have done it, as Biden promised, in concert with Ukraine or without them. https://www.wsj.com/video/video-biden-says-no-nord-stream-2-if-russia-invades-ukraine/B5942F2D-E4E5-4BD1-8CB3-8816A2ECAF19.html
