A few photos from the San Francisco Cruxshadows concert
I was at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco last night for the Cruxshadows concert and took along my Canon Powershot G6 to try and get some good pictures. Of all the pictures I took, only a few came out well enough to my liking. I've posted these onto my Flickr account. All of these will have some sort of digital noise due to the high ISO settings on my camera to deal with the low lighting conditions - you can really see it in Rachel's photo, but it is not as bad in George's or Rogue's photo. I am most please with my photo of Rogue - I like the lighting and the expression. Anyway, enjoy!

Region Free DVD Player
YesAsia apparently has a region free DVD player made by Sharp. It's nice to see they still exist these days, especially if you like to get DVDs that will never be made for your region.
I'll keep this in mind in case my current Denon DVD player dies - it's about 7 years old or so and once in a while has trouble reading DVDs. I had taken it in a couple of years ago for warranty work to fix this problem, but apparently the problem is back. I hope it can last for a while longer, as I might want to go to a high definition DVD player - but want the stupid format war to die already.

Music on a DVD?
I'd like to take music from three separate CDs, totaling about 90 minutes worth of music, and be able to burn it to a DVD-R. I do not want to compress the music into mp3 files - I want it to be an exact copy and to not lose anything through compression. I would be fine having the Redbook specifications, just on a DVD-R so it fits more music on there. I would be listening to it through a DVD drive that can read DVD-R discs.
I was hoping that I might be able to use the Linux CD/DVD burning K3B program, but it looks like it might limit the time to 80 minutes, even though I would have a DVD-R in there. Granted, I did not try to see what happens, but did not want to spend the time on something I thought would not work out as I would like.
Has anyone done this or know of a solution, if there is one?
