Burning a DVD

I remember the good old days of burning a DVD for my parents or throwing together some photos to share with family.  My process of burning a DVD was quite satisfactory.  I put it in and presto-my mac worked its magic.

I have worked on both PCs and Mac for a number of years and find the Mac to be much more intuitve and able when it comes to publishing…well, anything.  Webpages, DVDs, home videos, pictures (our wedding photo album is beautiful!).  Everything is intuitive and just works well together (integration of the photo software and music software with the movie software is seamless.   If I have any complaints for Apple it is that the process is so simplistic that anyone can do– I don’t fell so awesome anymore:)

Burning the DVD took some time.  I chose to burn a small clip (low quality m4v for the iphone because I knew that it wouldn’t take long.  The feeling that I get when I burn DVDs (as when I do at work) is that it just isn’t going anywhere.  It is landfill almost immediately.  Yes, they’re fairly sturdy… but not nearly as sturdy as a youtube video.  The disk will get used for this one purpose and then find itself on the bottom of a pile with all of the others that were really one-time use discs.  It’s a little bit sad.

There you have it!  Burning a DVD.
