Burner

I purchased a DVD burner over the weekend. I researched various models and settled on the TDK Indi 8X. It can burn a DVD in about 8 minutes and it’s compatible with all variations of DVD media.

What I didn’t realize when I bought blank DVD’s is they must be compatible with my home theatre’s DVD player to run them. I researched some more and discovered that 91% of the DVD players are compatible with the DVD-R format and about 84% are compatible with DVD+R. The confusing array of media was enough to make me scream but I think I’ll settle on the DVD-R format since it’s compatible with all of our players.

Now I can make archives of my computer’s hard drive and create DVD’s from my miniDV camera.
