DVDs

July 26, 2005

After a few days of research, I’ve set my mind on the BenQ DW1640 DVD ReWriter. So today, went to Sim Lim Square to find it. Anyway, was walking around Sim Lim square like an idiot, because this is the first time I’m going there and I just can’t seem to find the 3 stores (among the many electronics store in Sim Lim Square) that I want. Finally, found the first store after 30 minutes but to my surprise, they are only left with the ivory-coloured stocks. Proceeded to the second store and they have completely no stock at all. Damn it! if the rewriter is out of stock for the next (and last) store, my trip to Sim Lim Square will be wasted. Luckily, Cybermind have the stock and I purchased it at once. Rushed back home to install it and was so happy that it works! (this is the first time I’m opening my computer and install a new hardware). Got a scare when no sound was coming out during DVD playback. Posted my problem in the hardwarezone forums and within 5 mintues, someone said that I’d forgotten to install a “DVD” codec. Thx very much to the person who replied to me so promptly!
Now, I’m happily burning the Naruto anime using my newly installed DVD writer!
