1. Here's another

http://www.tv-links.co.uk/

I use it to sample shows and movies before purchasing the DVD. I don't know if these would be considered public domain. Some are from Asian sites, cluttered with subtitles and other text floating around the screen.

2. I use this one all the time.

Best cartoon collection I've found.

3. They've got "Burn Notice"

It's my new guilty pleasure. The internal dialog is great and Sharon Gless is hysterically funny as the neurotic mother.

13. 'Burn Notice' is my favorite series this summer. Hope they keep it. n/t

Things to Come, H.G. Wells movie, about 1940s "everytown"(London) being bombed in WWII and other "things to come", the movie itself was made in 1936, wasn't well recieved at the time, people thought it was unbelievable:

8. Does anyone

know the process for being able to burn this stuff to a dvd?

[TreasonousBastard]

9. You need DVD burning software...

and it might already be in your Windows or Mac OS buried somwhere.

XP Media Center Edition is really sucky in a lot of ways, but it did include Cyberlink DVD Solution, even though I had to dig around to find it. Once you got that, it's pretty easy to do.

11. And then there's this site...

http://www.publicdomaintorrents.com/index.html">Public Domain Torrents
Watch online or d/l the torrent for the full movie/cartoon/show :)
(This assumes you know what a torrent file is and how to make it get the full movie/show file...)

They have a decent copy of First Spaceship on Venus, a Stanislaw Lem movie predating Solyaris. There's also a good copy of Fantastic Planet as well as all the Hercules sword & sandal movies you can take! lol
