some people like to collect dvds every tuesday. i would do the same but it costs too damn much. now that i think about it dvd copying technology is slowing getting better and better (maybe dual layered copying will be here soon :dunno.

Don't get me wrong, i love collecting dvds but wouldn't it be a waste of money when 1-1 copies will easily be produced in the not to distant future. it would make me so mad if i spent 100's of dollars on my dvd collection when some shumck copys all his movies for a fraction of the price :madfawk:

[/end rant]

 

My dad has ~500 dvds.

 

so...you know you spent ur money on it, and to me thats good enough...sure they can copy dvd's but i ahve the orignal and to me thats better i guess. plus you know soon they are gonna try and stop that i dunno but they will try atleast. just buy the damn dvd's its not taht expensive anyways if you get them the 1st week it comes out...animal house comes out next week!! WOO HOOO!!!

 

i doubt dvd copying can be stopped.

i kinda feel the same way you do but i just get that feeling that one day ill run into somebody with a 500 cd case filled with movies that cost nothing and i'll be stuck with 100 dvds worth a lot...............to some people

 

yah, my dad at any given time has 15-20 dvd's in his collection that are still in the shrink wrap. He's not saving them for a particular reason...he just buys dvd's just to buy them.

 

yea i do that sometimes too, i have a few that are still sittin in their, when my friends cmoe over we watch them, i hardly ever watch movies alone hehe its no fun...i like havin peeps there so we can all enjoy it...feel better and stuff i guess...anyone else like that? i cannot watch whole movie alone..i get bored.

 

Dual layered burning technology won't be coming to a pc near you. sorry to break the news.

there is plenty of software out there to produce 1:1 copies, w/ a minor sacrifice in picture quality(Normally so miniscule you can't notice it). So get a burner for $150 and get to copying:fawk:

 

sh!t,... I'm pushing close 230 dvd's. The majority of the ones I've been buying recently are the ones that are replacing the VHS ones. It's an expensive habit, but when I started, DVD burners were $500 burning @ 1xspeed. Eventually I'll start copying them, but only as back-ups and start loading them in the Sony 300+1 disc DVD player.

 

i'm at about 150 dvd's for the last year and a half.

i'll show interest in dvd burners when i burn a full 4 gig dvd in about 20 mins. till then forget it.

 

LOTR 2 comes out tuesday :blue:
