With a corny name like The American Beetles they had better be good and thankfully they were. I don't think this particular song was ever released on 45.

From Blonde on a Bump Trip:
This one is how it actually appears in the movie, although
for some reason the picture is shrunk:

Absolutely the best version of the song... the reverb boosts it right up there.

It's my fave version too. I'd give 2nd best to Limey & the Yanks. The Chesterfield
Kings used to do a very good live version, I think they got from the Bit a Sweet.
I think the movie adds a bit of echo to the song.

Chuck, how many average YouTube songs can you get on to a DVD? I tried putting 98 on, which seemed allowable, until after they were decoded (by Toast) which seemes to enlarge the file sizes. Then it said It was all too big for a disc. I did make a disc with about 20 songs on it which worked out fine.

I usually do about 40 songs. I use DVD Creator 9, which came with Vista.
It took me a few tries to get all the kinks (Great band) worked out. I could
probably do more, but you come out with about 2 hours worth of stuff
& the more you try to cram on you will probably lose some quality.

I was thinking that 40 would probably be about right. I'll try that later, when this heatwave is over (not a good time to be sitting in front of a hot computer).

 Heatwave, it's like 20 degrees here, I think that's about -6 Celsius.

When I went to bed last night at 3am it was still 85°F (30°C), and it never went below that. And now it's almost gotten back up to 100°F again this afternoon.
We could certainly do with a backyard full of that... what's that thing you have up there? Snow, that's the one!

Snow, Icicles hanging from the roof. It's actually better then last
week when we seemed to get about 4-6 inches of snow everyday. It's
only snowed a little this week, but still a lot of snow on the ground.
I'm from Rochester, NY. Also some nice slippery driving.

I doubt that you can lose disk quality by using most of it's capacity. But burning speed matters, don't use maximum speed of your DVD writer, the faster it burns, the bigger probability of data writing error. |

It does get very cold here in Canberra during winter too, but only snows about once a decade. Not much rain either; this place is getting to be more like a desert every year. |

I used to make discs on a DVD recorder that was connected to the TV, I could
tell the difference if I made a disc at the 2 hour speed or the 4 hour speed.
The Youtube clips are shrunken files already, so maybe it wouldn't matter.
I definitely agree on burning speed, most problems I have had is from
traders burning at a fast speed. I always use the slowest speed.
As for capacity, at least on my computer, it always uses almost all
of the disc, no matter how many clips I use.

Except in the sense that if you try to squeeze too much on, the program might automatically compress the file sizes too much, in order to make them all fit. The thing I use (Roxio Toast) seems to have a default safeguard against that. I'd rather not compromise the quality, and it's not as if DVD-Rs are expensive these days. I have a 60s Rolling Stones DVD (a factory-made boot) which has tons of videos on it but they all suffer from excessive compression -- simply because the compiler crammed too much on there. I would have preferred to have bought the material over four discs in viewable quality. |
