I’m having some new trouble over here with posting content. I’m mentioning it partly by way of excuse, but also to see if readers have any suggestions.
My Blu-Ray/DVD player has basically stopped working. The only one I own is the one built into my computer, which is now about ten years old, so this is no great surprise. It’s basically stopped playing any video disc I put into it. This is frustrating not only because it means I’ve lost access to my DVD collection but also because it frustrates some reviews I wanted to produce. Replacing the computer is something I’ve known for a few years that I’d have to do soon, but it is simply not in the budget right now. I might consider an external DVD player, which would be considerably cheaper, and which I could also hook to my television, which at present I barely use except when I plug the HDMI cable into it from my computer.
I have also apparently lost the ability to screencap iTunes. I’m not sure if this is because of an iTunes update designed to protect copyright, or if this is because of some change in my system (I’ve updated iTunes a couple of times recently, but I also had the computer in for maintenance—so who knows?). I’ve tried some different software and nothing has worked. This is frustrating because I’ve always liked the convenience of iTunes in spite of some problems, but I rely heavily on screencaps for my reviews. In particular, this will mean I can’t create screencaps for my reviews of Sailor Moon, as well as some other things I was planning to discuss.
So anyway, that’s where I am at right now. I hope to have some solutions to these problems soon, and of course I appreciate any suggestions.
