So, what's new with all of you and the hobby?


I spent the summer outside doing charming fun tasks like painting the house and roofing the garage. I am way out of the loop. Here and there I transferred a must have movie or show to the E-80's hard drive where they mostly stayed unedited. Now, I have spent the last week editing, and the last day making the covers. (You know how hard it is to find something to use as a cover shot for the movie San Quentin? I do, NOW.)


I use the Epson R-200 for printing. It does a good enough job on the covers, and I think a very good job printing on the DVD's. The software I use for making the covers is a very good little program called Discus that someone on this forum recommended. (Thanks again!)


I have been using Avery jewel case inserts, but they are expensive. Someone here recommended another paper, but I can't remember, and I couldn't find the thread. I can easily cut the paper to size myself, so I really don't need pre-perforated sheets. So, what do you all use? Does a glossier paper work better than a matte finish paper? The Avery is a matte finish.

OT posting- This is a DVD recorder forum

I did chat about my personal life to explain why I would have to ask "what's new with our hobby" of DVD's recording.


But, I think you will find if you read the rest of what I said, it is about my recording, editing, (on my Panasonic E-80) DVD's. And, it is about printing titles on the DVD's, and creating artwork for the jewel cases that hold the DVD's (with my R-200 Epson printer designed to print on DVD's). I think that qualifies as on topic in the DVD recorder forum. No?

GET THOSE PRECIOUS MOVIES OFF YOUR HDD. yea i'm screaming.


my E100 lost it's burner and the panny service center did a full reset and format of the hdd. Why---probably for the same reason construction guys look for plants to run over!!! all my programs--many hours of programs which will not be shown again are gone forever. i copied them all to vhs--but the pq is the pits compared to the E100....
