will burning dvd slow down your computer or use a crap load of memory???

.

Actually I can read buxton, that question was answered in the very next post.

That subject was closed - Until - You thought it a wise thing to council Newbies to apparently run as many applications as they could i.e.

Then,

Then,

Then,

Then,

and

and

.

as you put it -

and then you say -

Actually buxton, you didn't make it clear - it was lightly mentioned between all of the things you deemed fine to do while encoding, re-encoding and burning DVD's - Not burning you say ? It was taken by inference -


And then you go over the edge by recommending "el Cheapo" media to Newbies - Now THAT won't cause anyone a problem will it ?

You have absolutely no idea what damage you have done by holding yourself up as an expert in DVD media. An expert you say ? Yes, that's what pple who come here think they're speaking with - and you certainly don't qualify as any type of knowledgeable individual in the matters of DVD media - You are a balloon filled with an overabundance of hot air -

You might spend some of that multi-tasking time you have in learning to read - where, for the love of God did you come up with this crap -

Hey Arsehole, I said you were lucky – LUCKY !! I said you were on a winning streak, LUCKY, you brain-dead idiot, where did you get this crap you’re accusing me of saying ? Just wondering, have you been doing drugs ? You have been doing things that have caused others, many, many others difficulty in their endeavors to backup their first DVD. You’ve been doing those things with nary a problem. LUCKY, ya . . . . . what did you say about yourself ? Oooohhh yea, here it is -

Thank you, I would never have thought to say that about you -

I can only pray that not that many new comers will see these recommendations of yours because for everyone that follows your lead we'll spend hours and hours trying to help them get themselves sorted out.

Why would I say that, you ask ? Because I have posted thousands of posts doing just that - and you have what ? 100 major contributions ? What experience you must have in the field of media and DVD processing - makes my piddling 650 + DVD backups seem inconsequential.

Take it down a notch there buxton, trying to convince new comers that they can do backups as a side-line because it shouldn’t really interrupt their normal multi-tasking isn't the way to go, trust me - do it yourself - don't suggest to others it is a fine thing to do -

and please, learn to read the words that are written and not some Walt Disney dialogue you have running around in your head before you answer - it looks like you haven't been paying attention -

Then again, maybe you haven't -

And ScubaPete said that !

 

Good practice is to not do anything with the PC when Burning. Also with all the adding/deleting of large files (4Gb+)keep the Hard Disk Defragged every few weeks, stops the buffer going mad.

MY STANCE ON BURNING DVD's - DOES THAT NOT MAKE IT CLEAR.

Because burning to DVD and then using resources can cause the buffer to go erratic - that can arse the DVD up. Costs money. In theory you can use the PC when burning - if I am backing up data to CD I use the PC - but never with DVD's.

OR THAT.

Clearly it's a matter of preference - my PC is fast enough to run Shrink/DVD2ONE/TmpgEnc/Mainconcept etc etc and browse the net, play MP3's or all three.

DOES THAT IN ANY WAY TELL SOMEONE TO DO WHAT I SAY?

I just counted my DVD's - 53 burns - not one coaster - and I use cheap Bulkpaq media - £6.99 for 25

IS THAT A RECCOMENDATION? AND HOW EXACTLY IS THAT ME BLOWING MY OWN TRUMPET ON MY PROFFESIONAL STATUS AS FAR AS DVD MEDIA GOES - I AM GIVING YOU A STATEMENT OF FACT - IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT FAIR ENOUGH IT A FREE COUNTRY.

The Thread was closed was it? Deemed by who? You? This was already running before you jumped in and started throwing insults! I wasn't even speaking to you - I was giving an honest answer to an innocent question. You say you you would never have thought to call me "Mouth and no Substance" READ those 5 points you posted, posted I might add with NO justification, that's exctly what you were infering. What made you take that line out of the blue I have no idea. And you say I am on drugs, thanks for that one as well.

Anyone would think I was on here flaming and causing agro.

All the other bits I wrote because Flip218 asked me

Quote "So your saying when shrink is going through the analyizing and encoding process ... using the pc won't hurt anything other than slow the process down?"

Once again, another conversation that had nothing to do with you. If I am so wrong then why does Shrink offer the option of running in "Low Priority Mode" - of what use do you suppose that is other than allowing you to do other things when an application is running.

And then just to clarify what I said I put

I am not saying everyone should run 40 apps when doing conversions or burns. He wanted to know if it will damage his PC - all I am saying is no it wont.

Is that an incorrect statement.

Were did I get all that crap I am accusing you of saying - I copied and pasted your post. You typed it, not me.

I then tried to be a bit diplomatic and posted

"I can take a joke - but that got a bit personal. Or maybe his intentions were fair, I dunno."

As in maybe I misread were you were coming from, it seemed personal, but maybe I read you wrong! Going of your final reply I was right first time, it was an unprovoked personal attack. LUCK! Luck has sod all to do with it. It simply works fine on my PC - what do you want an appology?

You don't agree with my methods, fine, don't do it. At no point did I say he should do it, it was an honest attempt to show someone new to PC's that he will not do damage to his PC and they are quite robust.

"I can only pray that not that many new comers will see these recommendations of yours because for everyone that follows your lead we'll spend hours and hours trying to help them get themselves sorted out."

Well they wont, because at no point in anything I typed did I ever use the pretext "I reccomend you do this" Yeah I may only have 100 posts - go through them, see how many thanks I have, see how many people have got their issue sorted, see how many said thanks for the advice. YOU are the only one that has a problem - even the other three/four posters to this thread didn't seem to take it the way you did.

If I am so wrong about what you jumped in and posted feel free to say what you were getting at, if it wasn't personal towards me fine - I am wrong - However it came across that way and you made no attempt to say that's not what you were infering.

I think I made it quite clear that when I burn DVD's I dont use the PC - and don't reccomend you do.

I also made it clear that you can encode DivX whilst running another application - sorry but I would rather browse the net than watch a counter ticking down.

So you dove in and called me an Arshole, Braindead Drug user for no reason - what a nice man.

You certainly have difficulty reading words in the order that they were written -

That quote was in response to your tirade about a good-humored post - that was a statement to someone who has no idea that when someone says they are LUCKY, it is what they mean. By saying you were Lucky, that you were on a winning streak did not translate to -

No you don't have to say, "I RECOMMEND this or that." - posting here, in these forums, pple assume you are an expert.

Saying -

Is a recommendation, PERIOD !

My impression is that you are extremely paranoid, thinking everyone is out to get you - Anyone reading my original post would see nothing in it at all. No name calling, no personal attacks. Before you took off on me there was no hostility anywhere. I question your sanity and your grasp of reality. No one called you a drug user, jokingly a yes or no query was made - How you converted that into a slanderous statement again, you have me at a loss -

I think this has gone far enough -

As we say in Scubaland,

Sea Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa -
