Tell me what program you prefer for DVD Burning.
I do not have a Mac. In fact, I apparently own the world's oldest PC. it takes up an entire storage room at MIT.
ILife, despite being tempting, is not going to turn me to The Dark Side.
I'm looking for ease of use, maybe something that will up the rendering speed. 8 hours is a bit hard to take. But I will live with it, for now. It must also not be a resource hog, I don't mind big and lumbering, i DO mind something that needs more than my elderly computer can handle, no matter how hard I try.
I'm currently using Nero, which came with the DVD drive. The Horseman Death showed me how to use it - we're waiting for the arrival of the other three horsemen in advance of me actually doing something right the first time. I think it's asking me to pay for it in about a month's time, so if i have to buy something, I'd rather buy something more better. Yes, I said more better.

If I have to have a box set, I can still get it. I like having the extras that come with the InuYasha box sets, but think $100 for the Doctor Who set is just plain silly.
This means more anime for me!

All my experiences with making video DVDs on the PC was a PITA, but that was 4 years ago, and I'm sure the apps have improved.
