Burning again and again
I got some cash back from a store I frequent (Best Buy), and I decided to use it...
I go into the store just walking around looking for something interesting, and I found a sale! 30 packs of DVD-R's from Fuji were on sale for $8.99. I loaded up.
I bought 7 of these packs, totaling 210 blank DVD-R's, so now I have a huge list of things to do. Most of my friends online know I have HUGE amounts of hard drive space and all of it is filled with media. So for the past few days I decided since I have the blank media I will now reclaim some of my space.
I have been burning DVD's and deleting the files as I go for several days now. So far I have made about 10 Thai movies onto DVD and 5 or 6 American movies. But the thing is it takes so much time and CPU to do it. To convert the movie to a DVD ready image takes about 1.5 times the video's length. So a 2 hour movie takes about 3 hours to prepare and another 30 minutes to burn and that is at 8x. I did get back about 10GB so far. I only have another 800-900GB to go now.
I think I will just set the thing to do one movie during the night and one movie during the day. So in about 10 months I might have my space all back. I just need to buy another 400-500 DVD's.
What do I use to burn? Tomorrow.
