  • DVD-Video files reallocation failed

    Just got a message like that trying to burn a DVD, after a couple of clicks, this worked for me…

    My folder contained:

    • VIDEO_TS.BUP
    • VIDEO_TS.IFO
    • VIDEO_TS.VOB
    • VTS_01_0.BUP
    • VTS_01_0.IFO
    • VTS_01_0.VOB
    • VTS_01_1.VOB
    • VTS_01_2.VOB
    • VTS_01_3.VOB
    • VTS_01_4.VOB
    • VTS_01_5.VOB
    • VTS_02_0.BUP
    • VTS_02_0.IFO
    • VTS_02_0.VOB
    • VTS_02_1.VOB

    Or something like that… Anyway, I dragged all of it to Nero Express, and got the warning message. Apparently, adding all of those files EXCEPT VIDEO_TS.VOB, to Nero Express eliminates the warning, and the dvd works fine.

    Let me know if it works for you.

  • If You Missed Anna Tsuchiya on CNN…

    Here’s a few links for you…

    Was anyone reminded of Christina Ricci on this TalkAsia interview? I was… LOL’ – But then again… my dad was reminded of Christina Ricci today when watching Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. He thought Bette Davis reminded him of Christina Ricci… so maybe, is it Remember Christina Ricci Day??

    Anyway, here are the links…

    Part 1 – Model Actress Singer
    Part 2 – Breaking the Mold – LOL… no PURESHA~~~ xD
    Part 3 – Facing the Future

    Did anybody get the shivers from er… Anna’s skinniness? Just me?

  • Yu Aoi Film Discussion – Niji no Megami – Rainbow Song

    This is officially my 2nd Yu Aoi film, which I saw right after All About Lily Chou Chou. Considering this is the first time I get into Japanese entertainment like this, I had no knowledge about anything. This is the reason why (I think, I’m pretty sure about it) I thought both Yu Aoi characters in the films were two completely DIFFERENT actresses… until I went to vote on IMDb and noticed that her name was already visited. Same thing with Hayato Ichihara… two different people, I tell you!!!

    I also watched Rainbow Song because I liked the simple poster. LOL! Little did I know that it had something to do with Juri Ueno, Yu Aoi, Hayato Ichihara… and that Shunji Iwai’s name was involved. Well, I actually thought I knew Juri’s name from the opening credits because I was watching Last Friends during those days… le sigh, oh how time flies!

    Okay, let’s see… a little about the film according to Amy.
    This 2006 film directed by Naoto Kumazawa had Shunji Iwai as producer and ghost-writer. It stars Hayato Ichihara as Tomoya, a young man working as staff in a television studio, who finds out his friend Aoi Sato (Juri Ueno) dies in an airplane crash.

    Genre: Drama, Comedy, Romance… all mashed up together.
    Starring: Hayato Ichihara, Juri Ueno, Yu Aoi
    Duration: Almost 2hrs.

    Here’s a link to Crunchy to watch it in 3 parts…

    Spoilers ahead!

  • TalkAsia Editions You Might’ve Missed

    I know, my sucky last post that begun as a notification of less buying, turned into reporting that Anna Tsuchiya will (or was) on this week’s TalkAsia. If my calculations were correct, it aired today at 8AM, when I wasn’t really up yet… so I’ll be catching it tomorrow at 8PM instead.

    If I don’t get to catch it, I will try to see it online… just like I miss Jay Chou, I thought maybe some of you were looking for some missed editions… so I’m posting the TalkAsia with Jay Chou, Bi (Rain) and Lee-Hom Wang that I found…

  • If things continue like this…

    I will have to buckle up, and not buy movies and music. No money! Market’s are crashing… and keep on crashing, LOL’ All I can do is cross my finger so there’s a new job tomorrow. NE!?

    NEWSFLASH~

    Anna Tsuchiya will be on Talk Asia (CNN)~ LOL – Gosh! Who can understand me! Amy!!! Buckel up, NO MONEY!
    ALL TIMES GMT
    Wednesday, Oct 8: 13.00
    Thursday, Oct 9: 03.00 (I’ll be watching this on Thursday at 8pm)
    Saturday, Oct 11: 14.30
    Monday, Oct 13: 02.00

    Last, last… last? Time, I missed Jay Chou… I ended up watching it on YouTube. But there’s nothing like catching it on TV…

    Talk Asia should do one on Juri Ueno or Yu Aoi, non? HA!

    SORRY for the topic change, blame the commercial on TV.

  • Late Music for the Month!

    Oops! Took longer to post about the music of the month this time because I wanted to go through most of the music I had on my “to listen” list. Finally did, JUST this second!

    So without further ado, the list

    It’s time for a new “Films that Changed your Life Forever” post! If you check the link to my “Favorites,” you will notice that the film I’m about to talk to is the ONLY animated film that has made its way to my Top10. I am surprised myself, but here is my story…

  • Looking back on the X-Files~

    Oh man… I just watched an episode of The X-Files, spanish-dubbed… it took me back! LOL’ It’s the dubbed I grew up watching… not that I was an avid X-File viewer, but I did from time to time. I still remember the episode where there was a ‘chupacabra’ – CHUPACABRA!!! I love how they say it in English, SO PHUNNY. xD ~you know, like that episode on Charmed where Piper says it~ Anyway!

    Moving on… today, on channel Space, they were showing an episode with the guy who played Dr. Romano on ER… he was some cancer-man, and needed cancer to survive. He had gotten his head chopped off from a car accident at the beginning of the ep, and grew it back up! xD – Also featuring on that episode, there was the actress I’ve seen on an episode of Shirley Holmes… HA! If I recall correctly she was ‘Barbie’ with a B, or something like that… xD Season 3, episode The Case of the Real Fake. LOL’

    Anyway, the episode was kinda creepy still… all kinda bad effects and all. Aww… I miss TV like that. xD – You know, TV with old school effects, makeup… I think I deserve a dose of good ol’ The Storyteller, with Jim Henson~ NE?

  • Ten Steps…

    The upload of the day! xD Marit sure does know how to tease listeners…

    Just listened to it a minute ago… a bit later than I intended (it showed already 200 plays), but I was listening to the soundtrack of Kiraware Matsuko no Issho (Memories of Matsuko) – Man, that film gets me each time in the final “Okaeri”. Even the OST makes me mush inside…

    Anyway, back on Ten Steps… of the 4 tracks released already, this is by far the more country-ish that I’ve listened I think. At first, I thought I was hearing a Dixie Chicks intro xD – But Marit’s got a talent for sounding sweet about not so sweet things… ha! “I’m about to break your heart,” she says… but she’s so chirpy! It’s scary x’D

  • Yu Aoi Film Discussion – RIRI SHUSHU no Subete – All About Lily Chou Chou

    This is the first film I saw with Yu Aoi, without knowing who Yu Aoi was~~ I didn’t even know who Shunji Iwai was. I only decided to watch this because I liked the poster. Yes, I can be shallow like that because I didn’t even bother to read the synopsis… which I have found to be, most of the times, better than knowing what the film is about.

    Here’s a bit about the film:
    (from Wikipedia)
    This 2001 film directed and written by Shunji Iwai, stars Hayato Ichihara (Yuichi) and Shugo Oshinari (Hoshino), as two childhood friends that go through changes between their time in Junior High, and High School.

    Genre: Drama (Some disturbing situations involving young people.)
    Starring: Hayato Ichihara, Shugo Oshinari, Ayumi Ito, Yu Aoi
    Written and directed by: Shunji Iwai
    Duration: +2hr

    You can watch the film in 17 parts on YouTube.

    Spoilers ahead~ You’ve been warned~
