Metal Heart from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

This video is filmed in a tilt-shift, to make everything seem reallllllllllllly small. I liked the song too.

I was trying to watch videos I had burned onto data DVDs. The issue was the sound would skip. First I thought it might be the driver, so I looked for the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-T11N driver on Dell.com. After reinstalling the driver to no effect, I googled for the symptoms I had. I came across this, and did what was explained in post #7. It worked and now my audio is back to normal. YAY!

2nd year students at the Junior High. I put it online for a teacher to checkout
before the class. If you would like to see it you can find it here.

It is by no means great. I created it with keeping in mind that most
projectors use 1024×768 resolution. So, on high resolutions it doesn’t really
look great (too much blank space).
