How To Resuscitate an Unfinished DVD
Thanks to the recent inclusion of USB ports and computer-to-TV data streaming in modern devices, I’ve discovered it’s a whole lot easier to store every video I’ve ever recorded on a couple hard drives instead of on hundreds and hundreds of DVD-Rs. It’s just more convenient to have it all accessible via one menu screen, and it saves a lot of space. (Also, people are less likely to think you’re crazy if your video archive collection consists of two or three black boxes instead of room-filling shelves and shelves of Sharpie-labeled material). So, this summer, I’ve been undergoing the massive task of transferring every DVD-R I have into the commonly accepted MPEG file format.
