When I make a video I plan to send to non-technically adept people, I burn it onto DVD-R or DVD+R in the format used by DVD players. Most people who have a computer also have a non-computer DVD player and non-techies know how to watch a DVD on their TV. While I find the techniques described both inovative and clever, I could still be in the situation of having to describe how to change to bios to boot from CD/DVD instead of the hard drive. Those old 32 MB Ram machines mentioned in the article quite often are unable to boot from CD anyway. The bottom line is, "Why would I want to do this instead of creating a normal DVD?" Bob Styma
