Re: [H] oversized DVD
I admit years ago this would not have been an option. But now, why not? Dl dvdr media is cheap. I just picked up a 50 pack for $32. But anymore, I don't even bother going back to dvd. I file my disks away and just use makemkv (makemkv.com) and keep the content uncompressed. --Original Message-- From: Richard Quilhot Sender: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com ReplyTo: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] oversized DVD Sent: Mar 30, 2010 8:37 PM Why not burn on a dual layer dvd without compression?

Re: [H] oversized DVD
I'm selective about which movies stay uncompressed and only do this for select movies. I still use divx or xvid compression for most average movies, so they don't take up as much space. lopaka I admit years ago this would not have been an option. But now, why not?

Re: [H] oversized DVD
Without knowing the dye, actual maker, or the country of origin I'd call those a crap-shoot, best of luck. http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm OK, so prices have dropped $1 or less but those HP cheapies are are still 3X the cost of SL Taiyo Yudens: http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/supermediastore-taiyo-yuden-16x-dvd-r-4-7gb-silver-thermal-lacquer-100-pack HDD's are $.10/GB and dropping, still the best deal it seems.

Re: [H] oversized DVD
If you're looking for the least expensive media, just use Handbrake and specify the output at 700 MB's or less and burn to CD-Rom. The image quality is fine on my 24 monitor although probably more noticeable on a large screen. On 3/30/2010 8:37 PM, Richard Quilhot wrote: Why not burn on a dual layer dvd without compression?
