Thanks in advance.

I use the modified Cuecat.  Got mine on ebay for less than $10.

Thanks Doc and 69... That's a no brainer. I just ordered it from the link that Doc provided.

Oh, but the *blip* on that one is so much nicer that that mute cat.

I think it's worth it...

Plus, you can hold the DVD in any orientation and still get it to scan.  Hell, you could probably throw it over the scanner and get a hit.  Not so with a cue-cat!

I seem to remember there being a press release about some of those scanners being repoted missing from several tesco stores in London recently.

I remember going through a checkout lane where they were testing out these new fangled devices.

Then again, I remember staying at a hotel with a placard on the TV advertising a demo of a new invention called a Facsimile Machine.

Hmmmm, I have a cuecat, and have downloaded the free version (trying before I buy), but I can't seem to be able to scan the barcodes in.  I open the 'add to dvd collection' window and use the cuecat to scan the code.  I get '33322167' as the code and then an error message with 'invalid barcode'    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Do you always get this number? Even if you scan different UPCs? Than I would guessed that your cat needs to be neutered and declawed.
