   My problem is if the originals are MKVs, my converter uses the current codecs    
   to convert to MP4 & those are not playable on my tv.   
      
   Ditto if I convert to .AVI or .MPG (size/space not a consideration unless I'm    
   trying to be greedy/lazy)   
      
      
   > put a lot more .mp3's on a DVD, but if one fails they are all lost.  (This if

   I lost all my old time radio files (had some good ones -- several seasons of    
   the Bickersons, & lots of Laurel & Hardy's full radio shows)

   > RP is used mostly for old radio shows.   
      
   I use KMPlayer for pretty much everything.

   Same. I can't commit myself to watching X in a Y time frame.   
      
   I'll be watching a movie in KMP, & be done for a while (real life things   
   arise) so I just close the player & when I open that movie file next time, it   
   resumes  at timepoint.   
      
   > I prefer watching movies in order over the years.  I'll start in say   
      
   I only insist on ewatching all in a franchise in order & usually in close   
   time  to each (I'll spend a week watching one a day maybe, or binge for a   
   weekend)   
      
   YV sderies, I'll start one & watch whenever I feel like spending the time in    
   gtont of my computer, until I'm caught up to current (I love finding a show I    
   like & binging a whole series (like I did for "Small Wonder")   
      
   Lots of good stuff out there I've not found yet. Can't find any free online    
   sources for older(pre-1980) TV series. I want to binge watch MASH from s01e01    
   to the end, then the movie. . .  & possibly same for "Hogan's Heroes."
