Foo - I spent some of my Christmas money...

...and bought a CD-RW DVD combo drive. I mostly wanted the CD burner. I had an external USB burner but it was slooooooooow. It turns out the DVD player is a pretty cool feature, too. I can capture a single frame from a DVD and save it as a graphic file. Here, for example, is a frame I took from the 2001 Tour de France DVD, stage 10.

You found a good frame to capture!!!!! :D

Nice! But, you should have spent a few bucks more and got yourself a DVD burner. They'er down to about 100USD.

I have done the same. Pretty neat feature.

Agreed, I have seen them as low as $60-$70 for 4X models. They burn CDs at respectable speeds as well.

Every time I see that shot, I think of Kivilev and the UCI's new helmet rule.
