   Right, one movie to one DVD at one time, eh? My wife started doing that,    
   luckily I had found a great source for brand new blank DVDRs. So, with 5   
   movies to a disk, each movie, playable on our DVR, cost 3.5c!   
      
   Bneter than buying blanks from the dollar store for $1-$2 each!

   Ours reads my 512Gb USB thumb just fine -- much nicer than going through    
   multiple DVDs! But I can't get the right format down, so a lot jhust dn't   
   show  up on the DVD play menu. . .   
      
   I can put the shows/movies into folders, & the DVDR's menu just shows on one    
   listing on the TV screen.   
      
   I love technology, wshen it works!   
      
   I just need to find out which video format is simplest & how I can convert to    
   it without the codecs being necessary to play the post conversion file.   
      
   Pretty sure MKV is too new. . . (most files come as this now, with subtitles   
   or captions built right in, instead of needing two separate files as   
   previously.)   
      
   Yeah, right, Shaw, trying to charge me $6 for a 30-minute epiosode on PPV! GL    
   with that pricing plan. . .   
      
   I prefer free for my books, movies, & TV shows.
