The Future of CD and DVD Burning

Advantages: Great look, Ideal for novices,Can Burn data on several discs
Disadvantages: £50 price tag a little high

...really is every budding home movie makers dream. Once you have created your movie you can save it as a DVD, SVCD or VCD making it watch able on virtually all DVD players and all PC`s. ?DVD Builder? is the best program of the bunch; it is easy to use yet not so basic as to put off more advanced users. I feel the price of Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum is worth paying just for ?DVD Builder? program alone. Roxio CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum also includes Photo suite 5. This is not the best Image editing program on the market but is capable enough when editing, altering or manipulating images. It also has a handy slideshow feature to view your artwork. ?Creator Classic? has been updated from previous versions. A nice touch is that when you put your blank media into your CD or DVD recordable drive the program automatically detects...

Review of Easy CD & DVD Creator Digital Media Suite Platinum 6 Complete package

Volkerball DVD-CD

Advantages: Awesome performances. Many songs to choose from. Live CD'S and Documentary DVD's.
Disadvantages: None!

...I have the special edition book too. This set is absolutley fantastic. There is a lot of concert footage from around the globe and you will not be dissappointed. A must for hardcore or fans of heavy rock. All of my friends like the rammstein live performances whether they like heavy rock or not. Their live performances appeal to pretty much everyone! It's possible to see performances from Russia, France and other venues. The CD's are also great. Ideal for taking in the car or putting onto MP3 player etc. The other DVD that came with my set also has the Anakonda im Netz documentary. Basically it's a talk with the band about their music and performances etc. And if you're interested in where the band came from and what inspires them etc then it's also worth a watch! There is also a documentary on the making of the reise reise album which...

Procare CD/DVD repair kit

Advantages: Cheaper than leading brands and works better, cheaper replacement parts
Disadvantages: don't work well on 8cm cd's

...Having reviewed the No 1 in the world cd repair tool and found out it was a flop and waste of money, I have tried a few other techniques. This review is on the Procare CD/DVD repair kit found at Maplin and possibly other stores. ~ The kit ~ You get the cd repair too itself which is motorised, you get the adapter, cd sanding discs, cd buffing discs and cleaning fluid. It comes in a nice flat box that is easy to store after use. ~ How it works ~ This is slightly different to the worlds No1 cd repair tool in that it appears to look like a cd walkman, you put the sanding discs in first and then put the scratched cd in with label facing up. Close the lid, plug power in and the press the on button. The tool will start sanding the disc to remove the scratch and will be done in three minutes, once finished take a look...

DVD CD OR GAME

Advantages: great package 3 in 1
Disadvantages: game prices

...it or not I used to be a champion snowboarder (Ok so it was on the Nintendo). So I was amazed at just how easy the controls were, two control knobs, left and right buttons at the back, and the usual buttons on the handset to move direction and do tricks etc. The graphics are quite good, but certainly no better in my opinion than the Nintendo we are using now (N64). However, the play station 2 has secret weapons. Firstly, the extra advantage is it is a DVD player. So you can play all the DVD’s you like if there is nothing on TV. And secondly, it plays music CD’s (as most DVD’s do)! A three in one machine, for under £200 is a great deal – I am sure you will agree! Additional item can be bought for the PS2 including a DVD remote control, and memory card. In the box when you get it is everything you need to...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

Drive Special Edition DVD

Advantages: Mark Dacascos, great action scenes
Disadvantages: Virtually unheard of

...I am a great fan of martial arts films and this is a wonderful offering from Hollywood. A great director (Steve Wang) helps the action move along swiftly and there is actually a pretty decent plot. Toby Wang (Mark Dacascos) heads for the states to escape the evil Red Chinese and sell the bionic implant he has in his chest to an American technology company. Along the way he kidnaps Malik (Kadeem Hardison) and the two of them head for LA. Their journey ends in a nightclub where the big showdown between Toby and the "improved model" takes place. There are some big explosions (they sound great if you have Dolby Pro Logic surround sound) and the fight scenes are breathtaking. Mark Dacascos is one of the best martial arts actors around and is actually a very good all round actor. The special edition DVD has the film (obviously...

Review of Drive (DVD)

A DRIVE THROUGH THE MIND.

Advantages: One of David Lynches best films.
Disadvantages: Confusing.

...- MULHOLLAND DRIVE.- Mulholland Drive was released in the UK in 2002. Directed and written by David Lynch. Starring Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Justin Theroux and Ann Miller. - Genre: Drama/ Mystery/Thriller. - Running Time: 146 Minutes. - BBFC Rating: 15. - As the credits roll we are treated to a display of 50's dancing. There are many couples doing the jitterbug, bunnyhop, and the Jive. This is a lively sequence and all concerned are having a lot of fun. Suddenly a face surges to the fore cloaked in a white mist and she is featured alone and disjointed from all the others. She wavers, and then disappears back through the crowd again. The whole scene is shot very basically and the colours are subdued. This is an strange opening sequence with very little impact and I began to wonder if...

Review of Mulholland Drive (Special Edition) (DVD)

The Drive of your life on DVD

Advantages: fun in motors, for men and women to enjoy
Disadvantages: Porche, Ferrari, Lotus I want one

...of the funniest bits of filming I have ever watched, worth buying the DVD just for this piece. Also a breath taking challenge is when Clarkson tries to out run and prevent missile lock from an Apache R.A.F attack Helicopter. And a beach race challenge of a Jaguar, a new BMW 6 series and of course a Porsche, who would your money be on, be careful I would of lost a fortune, you'll be amazed at the results. Bonus footage: Their test driver a guy solely referred to as Stig, is a character you never really see, normally he is suited up, and driving hell for leather as he speed tests the cars, this extra footage shows you the best of those tests, also a cockpit footage when the driver takes out a formula one race car in attempt to top the programmes speed record. And of course all the funny out takes of filming footage. Any ladies out there...

Review of Top Gear - Revved Up (DVD)

Freecom Classic Trouble Free DVD Burning

Advantages: Hard Working and reliable. Can be moved from PC to PC
Disadvantages: Desk space needed because it's external.

...and watch any DVD movie of my choice. {Please note:it works a little slower on USB1} The Freecom can also burn dual layer DVDs which means that, you can get almost double the amount of movies (i.e. up to 8.5GB) on one Dual Layer disk, but they do tend to cost a little more than the standard DVD disks. Another thing that is useful regarding this drive, is that using Nero (that was packaged with the drive), I can back up any computer file I wish to DVD and this gives me 4.7GB (that is 4,812.8 megabytes) of storage on a DVD disk in comparison to 700 MB (megabytes) that can be stored on CD-R or RWs. So as you can imagine, I now have fewer worries of losing my files should my hard drive decide to die on me. I have been amazed at the way the price of the DVD burners have come down in price over the years. When I first became interested in...

Review of Freecom Classic CD-RW drive

It's Driving Me Crazy

Advantages: Good acting, Excellent mystery
Disadvantages: No chapter selection

...with Harring and Theroux were frankly a waste of time they seem to spend the whole time telling us what a great guy and director Lynch was?maybe trying to get a part in his next film! Lynch himself was intriguing to listen to, I always find him such an oddball. He doesn't give much away but he fills in a little background to the film and tells us why he picked Mulholland drive as the focus. The other bonus feature on the disc is a short resume of the main actors career so far and one of Lynch himself, again interesting since I had never heard of the stars before watching this. The final 'bonus' material is not on the DVD itself but in the DVD box in the form of 5 postcards each showing a still form the film on one side and two clues to solving the mystery on the back, gimmicky maybe but worth a read. OVERALL Talking about the film by...
