Nasty sharp pain in the side of my right wrist at the base of the thumb. No logical reason for it, no obvious swelling or trauma. Ice packs help it, as do painkillers. I’ll be wearing a support brace for a few days, I reckon.
It took the almost 10-year old MBP just over an hour to compile & burn a standard 4.7 GB DVD. Not bad for the age of the machine.
The DVD produced by the MyDVD app on the 2008 MBP is a bit more user-friendly than the one done on the iMac two days ago. Both used the same original source material, the latest one needs no urging to play on a Mac , the older one was a tad cranky starting. Both play OK on stand-alone DVD jiggers, though. The newer disc has less free space than the older one despite having the same content.
I’ll be using the MyDVD app instead of Toast in future.
Giving the 2008 MacBook Pro a DVD-burning task. No idea how long it'll take, this is the first time I've used the MyDVD app that's part of the Toast 16 package. The DVD I recently burned on the iMac was done using Toast Titanium instead, I'd forgotten about the other apps in the bundle.
Those others are: DiscCataIogMaker RE; Live Screen Capture; Multicam Capture; MyDVD; Roxio Secure Burn; Toast Audio Assistant & Toast SIice.
I'm not totally sure what those others do.
I'm using the HD that originally shipped inside the 2011 MacBook Pro as a combined Time Machine/Clone external drive with the 2008 MacBook Pro.
2008 MacBook Pro has been retrieved. Updates and new apps applied, such as Toast Titanium 16. Waiting on completion of the Time Machine & Carbon Copy Cloner backups.
Until reading this article I was never happy to belong to the population subgroup unable to metabolise codeine into an effective painkiller.

Used Toast 16 on the iMac to join 5 downloaded YouTube movies into one & burn it to DVD. Then partway through I realised I’d not set the preferences for PAL TV system. When the DVD was finished I checked the preferences & it was PAL anyway. Now saving as a disc image for future use.
@matigo Before I put Mavericks on it, it liked to intermittently disconnect from its keyboard & trackpad, it hasn’t done that since the Mavericks install. In any case I keep a Bluetooth keyboard & magic Mouse with it, just in case….
