Can that computer of yours play DVD's as well? If so, there are plenty of good tying DVD's available. If it's an older machine, the optical drive may well be CD-only. If so, you can probably replace it fairly cheaply with a combo CD/DVD drive...

Ya it's an older machine but here lately I have taken over the puter table in the kitchen (I can watch everyone fish and hunt on the tube while it's cold) I've been entertaining the notion to replace this unit with a newer one but then I couldn't get that new flyrod I've been eyeing so we'll just have to see who wins, the wife or the flyrod :-) Later,

Hang tight Ksmirk. I will mail you the FOTW cd tomorrow. I just got in from 3 days away from home. Someone just blessed me with it, so I already have your address. You get it probably this week.
Thwack,
I bought a dvd fly tying cd and it will play on our DVD "player" in the living room. It will NOT play on my dvd drive on my computer, which is next to my fly tying desk in another room! I shoulda ordered the vhs tape instead. I guess I have to buy another dvd player just to use it where I want it.

POJ, the dvd should play through windows media player, if not get a hold of a copy of "power dvd" or similar, that should solve your problem.

Dang Jim your making me feel all appreciative and stuff! Thanks again and I just remebered my wife has that portable DVD player and I'll bet a dollar she will not know I have it! well she might but she'll understand. Later and thanks!!

Well dang you Kirk. You got my last blank cd. <grin> Went out in today's mail. I bought 2 envelopes....one with padding and just so happened to be one bigger size with cardboard so stuffed one inside the other for protection. Post Office said you should have it Thur. No big deal. I have gotten lot's of stuff free from the wonderful people on this website. It's quid pro quo. It's what FAOL friends are for. What a great family.

PlainOldJim - sorry your computer won't play your DVD. If you post more details on the config, somebody here will have the answer (and I see somebody's already posted one potential workaround).
I have a couple fly tying DVD's that don't like to work in my Sony DVD player, but work fine in all my computers, and in my other (non-Sony) DVD player.
I think the Sony is just showing it's age and needs to be replaced...
Jim THANKS AGAIN! dang this is begining to be one of my favorite sites to visit, over the years I've been on many site and while the majority of them are pretty much just flame sites. I have 2 sites I go to now days and this is one of them, heck I even look at work but don't tell anyone! folks I appreciate the help and just would like to say thanks from a goofy Okie that has an adiction to flyfishin' Later,
Kirk
Ksmirk, no problem dude. This is getting spendy though. You are by far not the only one who requested one and I have complied so far with all requests. But....it is just the way the good of this website balances out. It all goes around.....it's all good.
Hey Oldfrat....this is old F.A.R.T...."Fix And Repair Technician" <grin>
Yo cd's went out today snail mail.
