DVD Burners

[Puppet Master]

At my Staples, they had a sale on DVD burners for Black Friday. Only $30 for an internal -+R/W dual layer DVD burner. Too bad they were gone when I got there. At least I got 50 Blank DVDs for $4. Man I was so freakin' happy.

I use

VirtualDub (Optional, to filter out defects, cut scenes, adjust color/etc.)
CCE (encoding)
Sonic Scenarist (Authoring. Around $10,000 legally, but what they hey)

Seems to be the best setup.

They're not they're all chocked up to be. I'm so sick of friends and teachers asking me "So how can I copy this movie I rented?", and I want to go ballistic on their ass and yell at them about single-layer DVDs, blah blah.

At the store, this old couple was all "Oh, if we get a DVD burner, we can but all our home movies on DVD. That'd be real nice", and I almost told them they'd have to spend abouter hundred or so to capture the movie, then try to author it with the crap sotware its packaged with, then burn it, but whatever.

A burner is NOT all you need to make DVDs. It's just one of the many things required.

Yup gets more expensive after that just like anything else... BTW HOW do your teachers know you have a burner? I don't tell anyone I know about it really and it saves me a lot of problems...
