ehhhh...I don't know. Get a blockbuster/netflix account, rent the movie, pop dvd in 52x dvd drive, blank dvd in the other, click copy on dvd-shrink and voila you'll have a completed dvd in no time...especially if you have a 16x+ burner and fast media. I just got 100 blank verbatim dvdrs for ~$20 shipped at newegg.com. That's 20 cent each. My samsung dvdr/rw/ram/dl/lightscribe burner ($35 on newegg) combined with the verbatim dvds has never done me wrong. The samsung drive is also great for burning your own xbox 360 games

Re: burning dvds

Verbatim ain't that great...

Taiyo Yudens are the best money can buy. I got a slick *** deal a couple months back, 100 pack for $20 shipped.

well i've never had a coaster out of hundreds of dvds and thousands of cds made by them, they've had great ratings at all sites i've checked, and they've played perfectly in all the players (ps3 & 360 included)...so I'll stick with them.

Never heard of the other brand but I'm guessing they have all sorts of special dyes and scratch resistance and archival technology but bah...until I have a problem with what I'm using I'm not changing :P

Re: burning dvds

It's more of a degradation problem, the Taiyo Yudens hold up for many years but others can start giving errors a few months or a couple years after they are burned. There are certainly much worse than verbatim. If you got a good deal on em, then they're alright.

you weren't even around when the scamming went down, so quit talking ---- about stuff you know nothing about.

Who asked you again? You're my biggest fan if you feel it necessary to jump in so close your mouth when you get done scraping teeth on mycrx's dick.
Yeah, I wasn't around for the scaming, I was at your mom's house kid.

I'll chck on those taiyo yudens thought.

you just go right ahead and continue to make assumptions about me, it's fairly amusing. and like i said, i don't care for mycrx at all, however, he's higher on the totem pole than you are. you should really just delete your account, do everyone on this site a favor.
