DVD Burning Software and Media

I use a Pioneer A05, which does DVD-R, and CDR's. I really like how compatible the DVD-R's are that this burner makes. I have made several of my own DVD's using TiVo streams. 🙂

UPDATE: 11/2004 Prices are down to about 0.46$ a DVD-R from Ritek on - http://store.yahoo.com/cdrdvdrmedia/

UPDATE: 09/2003 I just bought some of this media (dvdPro 4x) (4x media), and really like it. I just burned 2 hours of TV onto a DVD in 9 minutes!.

There are 3 types that I have found, Matrix, LEDA, Ritek, and Princo. You seemed to know the most about what each of the medias was good for, it seems like the Leda's look alot like the ones I bought. But you can't base it on that alone.

Leda - $81/100 - http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=1295&cata=&s_cata=


- $78/100 - http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=1580&cata=&s_cata=

Comments from a friend on software packages

DVDXCopy Xpress 3.02 -> is very good

DVDClone 1.2.84 with AnyDVD 1.6.33 -> both works together to bypass the copy protection -> I like this software a lot

Nero 6 - For Data and Backing up home made movies
