why burn CD/DVD ?
a few weeks ago I was looking for an old movie (colorized King Kong) and all I caould find was a pal virsion iso. I hate these things cause I've never found a burning tool that works for shit.
but I fiigured for this I'll have another go. I got ImgBurn, read some of their guides and I thought I was on the right track, finally ! it seemed to work. I got a sucesfull message at the end. took out my disk and put it in the PS3 and my other stand alone Sony player...nada. that's when I noticed it was pal in my log file. figured I may need to convert first.
registerd on ImgBurn's forum to ask a few Q's...got no usefull answer. I asked, am I using the right guide for my task ? no reply to that particular question...I mean, write image file to disk, or write files to disk ? what disk, the HD or the DVD disk I put in the drive ? write image to disc ? image, meaning the group of files I want to burn to the DVD disk in my drive or what ?
then I wonderd if VLC would play it as it is, which it did just great. so...why burn it ?
why burn anything ? most MP3 players carry way more data then DVD's or CD's
I mean geez, I've owned 2 burners, 1st one died after like 5 discs and this one may work fine but I can't see any use for it. I can play vids directly out of my comp tot he TV and music out of the comp or the MP3 player. I can't imagine even using CD's in a car. I have some but I've only used them maybe 5-6 times in 4 years. I went from casettes to my MP3 player.
I know most if not all of you have burned 100's if not 1000's of CD's and DVD's but damn. I just don't get it.
what's my point ? or question ? I dunno. just kinda PO'd at burning processes. sort of a worthless rant.
