An excellent article by Robert Gibson for Business Spotlight - Coping with Culture

We saw Avatar in 3D in Shrewsbury last night. It really was riveting and inspirational. It really could be seen as a modern parable. The cinema was full and there was almost an awed hush in the room as the film finished. Very pleased to have seen it.

If you are interested in Jazz and will be anywhere near Oxford in April, have a look at the festival website at http://oxfordjazzfestival.com/.

I am now using Total Recorder Video Pro to transfer old teaching videos to .avi and .wmv files on my computer. I was then looking for a reliable software product to convert these files into DVD format so I could burn them onto DVD. I was looking for something that would do the job simply and effectively and would not add fancy titles that I did not want or need.

It was a long search but I have finally found what I was looking for an thought it might save someone some time if I posted the result of my search here!

It is the Video Converter from Altysoft. Highly recommended!

I have just uploaded some new pictures of Lydbury North in the snow to the Gallery. Look under Lydbury English Centre.
