Its been a couple of weeks since I got myself a 16x DVD burner. Yeah! it does support dual layer DVDs as well. Swell, eh? Sure is. Its all part of the agenda of getting the bulky media off my hard drive. Not many people have the luxury of having
320 Gigs of hard drive space to their disposal. But then your needs grow according to the resources at your command. I guess thats whats happened with me. Not much left for me to use, as it turns out!! ;)
Well I've graduated the next level as far as my media usage goes. And now I'm spending some quality time, ripping my favorite movies from DVDs to
DivX.
Mencoder's been busy on my desktop. See the screenshot below.

I sometimes wonder how people end up playing DVDs on Doze considering the innumerable patent issues that surround DVD playback. I aint too knowledgeable about DVDs but hey!
patents are threatening to consume free software projects as well.
I wish I were in a worse mood, to write about 'em. Right now I am a bit too busy getting
The Matrix Trilogy ripped to DivX. The truth is out there!! Cheers!!
