Computers and Related Hardware/Software

damn another reason to feel that my current setup is old.. ;)

I always thought that 4.2GB on a single disc is like throwing all of your eggs in one basket. But doubling that????? Just be VEWY VEWY* careful when handling the disc. LOL! :)

Did it say when these thingys are coming out?!

Worth looking into.......

The article says in a couple of months, so around June... I'm sure the movie industry here will squawk about it, 'cause now you won't have to use software to shrink a dual-layer DVD onto a single-layer DVD...

Heh. The way the consumer electronics market is, these buggers will be around $100 by year's end.... :hehe:

Potato-guy, your setup couldn't be as old as mine... Besides, it's nearly impossible to stay current with any consumer electronics product...

great, the sooner the better. as a matter of fact, im waiting for the dvd burners to go under $30! :beaten:

That might be wishful thinking... I think the current batch of 4x dual-mode burners will drop to around $60 soon, especially once the 8x burners start to drop in price... :)

the media is so expensive =\

At the moment. But it'll drop in time... It's before most of you guys, but VHS tapes used to be around $20 per tape, if you can imagine that... :hehe:

yeah i remember. everything drops in time, it's a matter of how long. I've got a feeling that media will debut at a much higher $$ than 5.

someone passed me some dorama downloaded online. A pity I have to use computer to watch. Wondering what can I do to burn a copy that I can play on household VCD player.

The dramas were good stuff just wanted to share

Yep. I'd agree.
