Where's DVD+RW Media in Bulk?

After playing with my capture-card half the day yesterday, I am sure I didn't make a mistake. That was only part of the purchase; the other part was a DVD writer. What a cool combo! This is as exciting as when I discovered that music can be transferred onto recordable, shiny CD disks! This time it's video ending up on recordable, shiny DVD disks.

One of these new little platters holds 4.7 gigabytes of data. That's so amazing! (I had a computer with two, original 360K IBM floppy drives. (Those disks really were ... floppy and bendable and are probably collectors' items now.)

I'm able to create videos which can be watched in anybody's DVD player. (A player now costs only a bit more than a new-release feature movie.) Simple computer software allows me to make menus by template. I've got a pile of old 8-mm tape to archive.

I think this may also prompt me to spend less time with my digital camera and hasten my return to shooting video.



Speaking about watching, here's a song from
the early 80's. It seems slightly related to
the topic at hand in a paranoid sort of way.
