<div class="IPBDescription">neato</div>I finally got around to actually using the DVD burner I picked up last week to make some backups. 35GB or so on only 8 discs, not too bad at all. :)

The thing I think was the coolest though is that it comes w/ a program (Easy CD/DVD Creator) that automagically converts from video (even Quicktimes :O) to DVD video. Finally I can watch <a href='http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/115368' target='_blank'>Computer Boy</a> on my TV, along with Troops and a few other things.

And the only thing that suck is now that I got this, I'm not quite sure what all I would want to burn to DVD... heh.

    With the right compression/codecs and an All-in-Wonder card, you can also fit 1/2 of a TV season on a single DVD <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Took me a while, but I recorded an entire series to 14 DVDs <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    DVD media is too expensive to do much useful stuff with it atm over here <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It's just now starting to get cheap here in the US. $30 for a spindle of 50 DVD-R's... not too bad at all.

    Heh, imagine a personal MOD burner.

    Imagine the whole collections of series you can unite in one CD.

    Fine.

    "Imagine the whole collections of series you can unite in one disk that's compact."

    They're not much more expensive, if at all, from CD media. You can use a DVD for every 6.5 CD's or so you use, and I don't think a DVD costs 6 or 7 times more than CD media. And you gain space.

    Of course, you'll need more careful labelling if you don't like putting stuff that doesn't have any connection on a DVD.

    I have a DVD burner, after a few weeks you will get bored of it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyways I use my nice shiny 80gig laptop hard disk that I got free and a $15 usb2 caddy for backing stuff up.

    Really should invest in one tbh but with chrimbo round the corner it's down the bottom of the priorities list.
