I love my DVD burner! This is the first movie I’ve ever ripped. We rented it last night and today I followed some directions online for how to copy it and burn it onto a DVD. The first time I burned it onto a re-writeable DVD but I noticed it was a bit glitchy when I watched it. I’m hoping that maybe the DVD player just didn’t like it or something. I re-burned it onto a proper DVD and will probably put it on later to see if it’s any better. I’ve also been downloading DVDr’s to burn but it takes forever to download one as they are usually around 4+ gigs each.

The movie itself is great. I didn’t really pay much attention to it last night but I watched it this afternoon when I was checking how it burned and I was cracking up! I usually hate those spoofy kinds of movies. The really stupid comedies like Monty Python and and those Naked Gun movies that make me want to stab myself in the eye. This one was just normal enough for me to enjoy it though.

Now I just need to figure out how to change my divx movies into a dvd that I can burn and view on my DVD player. I followed a guide on doom9.org, but when I got the conversion going it said it was going to take 88 hours! I couldn’t figure out where I was going wrong so I gave up. If anyone has any experience with this please leave a comment with any tips or url’s. I neeeeeed them! I have about 100 divx movies burned onto CD’s but I can’t watch them on the DvD player. It would be so cool to be able to turn them all into DvD’s!
