oh no not another grp who thinks the scene is ready for dvd9 =P last time i checked best deal around on dvd9 was $1.75/dvd compared to about $0.20 for dvd5
quote:Originally posted by Mr Moneypenny Good job, more DVD9... Our screens are getting bigger so i won't settle with DVD5 anymore on films that are longer that 2 hours
Except the fact that the DVD5 was untouched video and the directors cut was a direct DVD5 on the orig. So this is no improvement unless you want the extras.
Personally I don't mind DVD-9s though. I usually strip them and do my own encodes, etc... from them. But it is a grotesque waste of bandwidth But ya, DVD-9 discs are expensive But the burners are pretty much free.
I hope this starts a trend, as i prefer to do my own encodes, as every groups will miss something or other.
And if the Video is less than a DVD5, then you can make 2Disc Version with just DVD Remake, and have both discs untouched, and full menus, which is sweet for me.
Also its not like they're twice the size, usually around 6-7GB, which even for me on a UK Connection, is still only a 2hour download.
for me on 2mb take about 12 hours for a 9 GB file, i ainit got a dual layer burner yet, just guna wait till the prices of disc's drop and i can get my internet above 2mb, small towns in uk only get 2mb max, but ukonline is on 6 mb already and they on adsl2 in oct, fingers crossed.
