Okay I’m fully aware of how ridiculous this sounds in 2023, but bare with me.
I have a wonderful neighbour, Jackie. She’s in her mid-sixties, and ever since she moved in we have become very good friends, she’s like a second mom to me.
Jackie loves movies and has an enormous DVD collection. One day, she was talking about how she couldn’t find a particular movie, and I said “I can probably download that for you!” Her immediate reply was “Can you put it on a DVD?” I tried telling her the many reasons it would be better to use a myriad of other solutions, but she insists on DVDs.
I did them for a while using DVDStyler on Windows, and it worked fine. But then I installed EndeavourOS on a new partition on my hard drive, tried using Brasero and Devede but it wouldn’t read on her DVD player. Then I tried DVDStyler on my Linux partition, and it didn’t work on her DVD player, despite saying the operation was successful on my end. I then tried booting up into Windows and using DVDStyler, and that also didn’t work, not even letting me burn the disc. Does anyone have any ideas what could fix this? I’ve tried playing around with the settings in all these apps but I couldn’t figure it out.
Apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this, but I figured a community of pirates would understand my desire to get movies to Jackie without her having to pray to find them in a pawn shop!
there are no longer many movies i like that much and if so i usually jtst buy the dvd.
it got way too complicated nowadays. starting with megabig files you not always can easily covert and watch.
then there is stuff i saw on tv which isn’t available for free often not even can be bought. i have never figured out how to crack these coded stuff. so it just is on a storage disc. i hate it but don’t know a way around.
so, you certainly are not alone.
Yes, I still burn my movies to DVD. I especially love having physical copies of my favorite films, it somehow adds to the whole movie watching experience. If your are looking for a reliable DVD authoring software, I recommend DVDFab DVD Creator. Hope this tool can help you.
Some people do still burn movies to DVD using free DVD burning software, especially those who prefer physical copies of their media or have older DVD players that do not support digital video formats. However, with the increasing popularity of streaming services and digital downloads, burning movies to DVD has become less common.
