RE: [dvdvol] where do you get your DVDs

For those in Europe, I would echo our stateside friends in recommending Ritek G04 DVDs. I've just bought 100 from www.bigpockets.co.uk Product link : http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/product.php?product=DVR7091-10 Works out about £0.28 each (around $0.58 at todays rate...). They are exceptional quality, and I have not had a failed one at all, after many burns. What's more important though, is that they will probably be playable on a wider variety of DVD readers, unlike some other brands that I've had trouble with on my stand alone DVD recorder (Datawrite yellows come to mind...). If anyone fancies getting together in Europe, you're welcome to come to Newcastle upon tyne for some of the best pizza in the North of England.

I'll place an order tomorrow. Perhaps we can plan some sort of get together for next March or so. I'll work out the details when the date gets a little closer.

where do you get your DVDs
by Aaron Cannon 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

I'm curious to know where our burners are getting their DVDs? What brand do you prefer? How much do you pay? I'm getting ready to buy a bunch more and was hoping to perhaps get some ideas. Also, I just noticed that most of our mailers seem to be in the same general area. I am in Davenport Iowa, and many of you seem to be living in various parts of IL. Perhaps we can all get together for lunch sometime. :) Of course you folks from Europe are certainly invited as well. Thanks all for your hard work!

Dear Simeon , Thanks for your message and for the update on your efforts. People like you are in large part the reason we send out discs in the first place. Thank you very much for your help with sharing the books.

Re: Foreign Language CD

Maybe this would just make the situation worse, but can we make room for the hand shadow book on our "foreign language" CD? It is a book that transcends language and I believe it is in the top "n" downloads list.

Rather than eliminating material from the CD, would it be possible to use one of the public domain compression programs to allow us to distribute all of the candidate material? It would be polite to include the decompression program on the CD, so we would need to budget space accordingly. Just a thought.
