In case you missed this discussion, it started here : http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=319430#319430

And well, the UPS guy was at my door this morning with this...

A superb present! Perfect for me since I hate to fiddle inside the PC case (this one is external) and since I needed it but there was always something stealing the top spot in the "to buy" list! Now it is already plugged in, it burns perfect with no problem at all and I am VERY happy!!

Once more, thanks a lot! I am a bit embarassed but overhelmed by happiness :D

Santa Claus is coming to town ! :D

Cool TT! You received a beautiful useful gift from Jabba Claus.

Amazing how it was only in my hands on Friday and now it has arrived at its new home in Switzerland.....

Damn just check out that capacity of the dual layer capability and imagine how many divx episodes of top gear that you can put on a single disc now.

You really need to get a USB 2 card now to take advantage of the extra speed.

Glad you liked your pressie anyway.....

a great present for you and well deserved :D

'the daddy strikes again'

nice score TT. Jabba, you sure know how to make us enthusiasts happy!

Fucking awesome. And finally DVD-Rs are now as cheap as CDs. Awesome gift!

What a great gift.enjoy it TT :D

Enjoy it TT - you certainly deserve it.

LOL, TT can now burn dvd's :D
Great and useful gift ! :D

DVDRs are as cheap as CDRs..but Dual Layer DVDR are ..20 times more expensive.

Congrats TT, enjoy :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

congrats TT !!! ...
DVD-RW is pritty expensive ere ..

oh and BTW thank god its in there :P

cool gift.. Glad to see he made it external ;)

Now you can consolidate some of that cd collection before you fill your room up with cds.. maybe make a model ferrari outta bits of cds lol.

Nice one! You deserve it TT. :D

Enjoy it TT!!! (Yeah, I know, I have a knack for stating the obvious hehe) Hopefully you can clear up a bit more HD space now :-D

Indeed, the 300th CDR was pretty close :D But now to move everything on DVDs will take some time :P

groooooovy :P

Great for you TT.. Jabba is the man 8)

I have about 150cd's that i want to put onto DVD-R... let's see who gets there first :P

hahahah thats awesome, you sure do deserve it TT...imagine all the porn you can backup now? LOL :P

Awesome TT 8) So does this mean the ol' post count will be slowing down a bit while you transfer everything? :wink:

Santa Jabba attacks!!

great gift TT, now you'll leave behind that fobia of losing those cd's (any accident, if they break into pieces, they are burnt by the sun, a little kid grabs them and fills them up with syrup, candy, etc), you'll put in a safebox the new dvd's

Awesome!!!...Jabba Clause strikes again!!!...I'm sure TT will put good use to it... :D

excellent gift! really the best way to save some phisical room :-D. i just got a dual layer burner myself today... but i still havent tested its massive storage capacity yet.

Exelent gift, i was wondering what he sent you that weighs 4kg..

awsome gift i must say!

Oh dude you are so lucky! I want one of them! Congrats man!

:D

Congrats TT, thats incredible! Jabba, what can I say, you are simply too generous! LOL

It's amazing what kind of community we have here, I've been a member on many forums and some of them for a number of years, but I've never seen somethign like this be done! JW rocks indeed!

TT, don't worry about being stingy with the blank DVD's. I did that when I first started using them, I wouldn't burn a DVD unless I was going to completely fill it up! LOL Now the discs are cheap enough that I don't care.
Imagine how much pron you can squeeze onto a dual layer DVD!!! :lol:

Thats really cool of Jabba to get you a gift, hope you like it. Also by coincidence I was looking at the exzact same dvd rewriter yesterday planning to purchase it today, so any comments would be great.
Also bought a new DVD recorder for the TV downstairs so I can get topgear and other programs dvd quality. So seems we are all entering the DVD era together :P

Nice work Jabba.....and congrats TT, you richly deserve it for all the work you put into this place. :D
BTW, my b-day is in April and I don't have a DVD burner yet.....just a quick hint. :twisted:

LOL, why everybody is saying I can finally store lot of porn!! :D :D I ONLY download car videos from the net :P

BTW, the best thing about this present is that I really didn't see it coming :D (at least untill Jabba had to ask confirmation for my addy LOL) :)

How much , and no porn , dont be funny :D

LOL@TT denying he's not downloading any porn ;)

Anyway, congrats dude, and very generous of Jabba, cool !

The big man never ceases to amaze!

Well done TT, you deserve every little bit of that burner!!

Very very nice gift, Jabba! I'm sure TT will enjoy it. "Burn, motherfucker. Burn."

Like I said before, you deserve it, TT!

Wow, a Dual Layer DVD burner! I even didn't know they already existed. I'm apparently way behind on the new hot PC stuff :)

Congrats, TT. You'll certainly enjoy your Santa Jabba present a lot. Know you can copy DVD's without the need to shrink/compress the movie and deleting the extra's. What a gift!!!

Hehe, I can admit I download some porn every now and then, but as for DVDs, I'd rather buy originals as I always did :D

Thats awsome. No more complants about no disk space from you allowed.

I just discovered it takes around 60 minutes to burn a full 4.7 GB DVD at 2.4x (didn't want to use the full speed (4x).. kinda different from the 7 minutes for a CDR :D

Ya. But still thats a load of data on that disk. I remember when HD's that where 4gig where BIG... haha

Yep but then a full CD doesnt hold 4.7 GB and the full speed of that writer is X 16 so it should burn a full 4.7 GB disc in under 10 mintues I think...and that would make your CD burner seem very very slow indeed if that only manages 700 MB in 7 minutes.

Sure, but I still prefer to burn slower just to be sure it will be burned better ;) anyway well, the PC was created for such stuff, would be pointless if everything would take just a millisecond :P

In fact I am still trying to find out how fast x 16 would burn a full disc...it could be under 5 mins !!! that is if you could get X16 media cheap enough that is.

This is what I was looking for :

Single Layer(4.7GB) write speeds
1x (CLV) = about 58 minutes
2x (CLV) = about 29 minutes
2.4x (CLV) = about 24 minutes
4x (CLV) = about 14.5 minutes
6x (CLV/ZCLV) = about 10-12 minutes
8x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 8-10 minutes
12x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 6.5-7.5 minutes
16x (CAV/ZCLV) = about 6-7 minutes

Dual/Double Layer(8.5GB) write speeds
1x CLV = about 105 minutes
2.4x CLV = about 44 minutes
4x CLV = about 27 minutes

Actually at 2.4x it took me more than 60 minutes to burn around 4.2 GB I think :?:

thats probably because you are stuck with usb1.0 controller vy the sounds of it TT ;)

usb 1.0 = 1.5mb/s
usb 1.1 = 12mb/s
usb 2.0 = 480mb/s

LOL yes that's it :D and no, I don't need faster speed, so I won't buy a damn USB 2.0 card and open the PC case once more :D

i would buy nonexternal DVD RW - LG 4160 - price about 70 EURO here

DVD-R/-RW-/ROM 16x max., DVD-RAM 5x, DVD-Video (CSS)/DVD+R/+RW 8x max., CD-R/-RW/-ROM/ CD-DA (DAE) 40x max. Zápis DVD-R/DVD+R 16x, DVD-RW 6x, DVD-RAM 3x, DVD+R Double Layer 4x, CD-R 40x, CD-RW 24x

I think you missed the point of this topic :roll:

Clearly.

Now, now, gentlemen! :mrgreen:
