Honestly, burning a backup is very long, taking up around 15 - 20 minutes (at 2X or 4X). So I wanna ask you guys what do you usually do while waiting for your backup to finish?
I fetch myself a nice mug of tea It helps make thoose very long 15-20 min periods seem, less...long....
i have a few PC's so i surf on 1 or more PC's for the 8minutes max my 8x burns take and when i did 4x i did the same, including making tea/coffee
1. Watch previously burnt dvds on my dvd player. 2. Wait for burn at 4x or 8x to finish (9 - 13 mins). 3. Repeat. I have a boring life.
I do those weird little calculations "If train A, left the station at 12pm and was traveling at 60km..." I like trains! It's not childish... I just love trains, currently majoring in Locomotive engineering.
I don't move from my computer; I simply sit there and play with my pet monkey until the error message appears LOL!
My monkey is pre-mature so I would have to pet it 15 to 20 times if I had to wait that long for the burn to be done.
quote rev, Not been trying to erase non DVD-RW media again, Gerry?? ~LoL~ the best part is garry1 found out how to erase a dvdr,, he said sand-paper does a wonderful erase on a dvdr,,
LMAO!! Hey, you think I'm bad? We have a membership card for people who want to use our computer resource areas and, without fail, at least once a month someone puts the card and loses it in the floppy slot! Happened again yesterday. @Ireland....erases like a charm that way but I'll be damned if I can rewrite ... guess I'll have to return the defective computer for not working properly!
Just curious how you major in Locomotive Engineering? ...on topic, I surf the internet, and much like creaky I have more than one PC so I can get on another one if something more intensive needs to be done. I also make most of my burns at 12X so it doens't take quite as long as what you've described.
I've got 2 pc's & a laptop for when I'm on the move...but getting off your ar$e once in a while to get back on it and watch TV for abit (when burning a DVD) does you some good ~Lmao~ Gerry!
well running a dual core chip i can pretty much do anything while transcoding/burning, surf the net run Virse scans etc.
