Depends on quality of ink you use. They are not real heavy color like a pro printed CD/DVD. But they have worked for me. The ones that I have that are 5 years old still look like they did the day I printed them. All depends on medium (quality of surface) Ink and image.

Re: [CGUYS] DVD recorder - .VRO file
I'm so glad I'm done trying to get self recorded dvds to play in my DVD player, buying blanks, worrying about if they will be good a year from now. 1.5 TB's in an inexpensive system behind my tv running free media center software with an ipod touch for a remote is the bomb.

Re: [CGUYS] DVD recorder - .VRO file
I'm so glad I'm done trying to get self recorded dvds to play in my DVD player, buying blanks, worrying about if they will be good a year from now. 1.5 TB's in an inexpensive system behind my tv running free media center software with an ipod touch for a remote is the bomb. I don't often try to save the things I put on the DVD-RWs. This month is an exception. There's a series on Smithsonian Channel called Street Monkeys, about troops of vervet monkeys that live in and around a golf course community in South Africa. It's my cats' favorite program. They will sit still watching the TV for almost the entire show, sometimes leaping up to paw the screen. Then they'll look out the window for squirrels [that's when I toss them out]. Street Monkeys is an excellent series--I like it too; great soap opera, better than human soap operas. Main problem is that the series from National Geographic in South Africa isn't for sale in the US [or anywhere I can find], otherwise I'd buy it. So I save it to DVD. The DVD recorder's instructions for making copies at 2 a.m. are confusing at best. Now that I've saved three episodes, I'll have to wait until next year to get the first two episodes, or buy it. But, really, will the cats know which episode they're watching? or missing? At least I'm figuring out how to use the recorder. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
