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...

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...

Avery full face CD/DVD Labels

Advantages: Reasonable Price, Easy to Apply, Add your own personal touch!
Disadvantages: None

...Instead of lending out CD?s and DVD?s to friends, I do a copy for them and let them keep it (you know how hard it is trying to get things back)! I then came across these Avery Full Face CD/DVD Labels, which have definitely helped to brighten them up and add a more personal touch to them! I purchased them at my local WH Smith and the printer I use is a HP Colour Laserjet 3500 and they look absolutely stunning when printed on this! ********** Packaging The packaging is fairly simple and gives you all the information you need to know about the product. The pack dimensions are: - 33.1 x 21.5 x 1.7 cm (LxWxH) The weight of the full pack is 0.18KG. ********** The Labels Firstly, the price! I paid £9.18 for these and I am very happy with my purchase! The labels are a high sheen glossy effect in silver material...

CD and DVD showdown!

Advantages: CD and DVD duke it out to see who's better
Disadvantages: I'm wasting 6 very good discs here...

...I've had enough. You know when you made that backup onto a disc and you put it away? Next day you put it into your computer and guess what? It doesn't work. And the stupid thing you did last night after backing up is delete the stuff from your PC. Fan-bloody-tastic right? That's just the type of scenario that I get often with my discs, and boy does it annoy the hell out of me. You spend hours backing up gigs of data onto DVD or CD and then when you're feeling horny, that disc with the special 2 hour feature (featuring scantly clad beauties), just will not open. And all I did was bung it in the corner of that table for a night! Most of the time it's our fault if our discs do not work. We copy it onto the media and then without thinking of the consequences we leave it out on the table with no protection. Few days later when you need...

Sony DVP-NS355 CD/DVD Player

Advantages: Multi-Region
Disadvantages: Scart cable not included

...If like me, you're not techno-wise, then this could be one of the best-buy DVD players you could ever purchase. I bought this DVD player over 2 months ago as part of a Sony TV package, and for a first-buy DVD, it turned out to be very good. Like most consumers, my main concerns were reliability, specs. / features and value for money - and it scores high on all three! Sony got it right with this budget DVD player. Don't be fooled by the price - this player will impress you! Some specifications: Slim entry DVD player Playback modes: DVD Video, DVD - RW /+ RW, DVD - R / +R, SVCD, VCD, Audio CD, MP3 and JPEG - Plus much, much more... This player is easy to install, so don't be put off by the amount of instructions in the manual. The remote control is relatively easy to operate and comes with batteries supplied. It...

ITV Player - Plays The Programmes You Miss

Advantages: ITV Any Time, Convenient
Disadvantages: Buffering Takes Time

...ITV Player follows in the footsteps of the BBC I-Player ? an online service offering the opportunity to watch the shows you have missed for up to 28 days after they are first aired. For those without a DVD recorder of a VCR this service offers an excellent opportunity to catch up. This service was a new experience for me and having read several reviews as to the poor quality of the programmes screened I wasn?t expecting an awful lot. However I made my way to ITV.co.uk and followed the link for ITV Player. The website is extremely accessible and very user friendly. The ITV Player link takes you to a sub site specifically adapted to allow the user to find the programme/show they wish to watch and then to watch it. I was seeking Wuthering Heights, Part 2 having seen Part 1 last Sunday evening. The show wasn?t available online...

The Player - The Supermen Lovers

Advantages: Starlight. No doubt about that!
Disadvantages: Well, there are some songs that none of us like...

...The year was 2001. Where I had no taste in modern music at all. (And I still don't to be honest). A 'French' house song reached number 2 in the UK Charts. The song was Starlight, and in all my life I had never heard a song as good as that could bring me in a happy mood. Considering that I think that Starlight is quite underrated, it didn't get enough fame - it only reached number 2. That made The Supermen Lovers a One Hit Wonder. But Starlight stayed in the top 10 European charts for an outstanding three weeks. But that still didn't give it enough attention. I think that people should reconsider that Starlight is a great pop song, it got me into more of The Supermen Lovers songs that I admire myself. Which is why The Player is the best album The Supermen Lovers has made, and the first as well. People who like Starlight might consider...

Much More Than A Music Player

Advantages: Fantastic crisp screen, easy to navigate
Disadvantages: no 3G connection, small screen size causes some problems

...enough to allow you to play games and watch video playback comfortably without being too bulky in your bag or pocket. The display is brilliant quality giving nice crisp high quality images. The internal battery charges either via a USB port on your computer or via a docking station, the battery life is generally good but I find the claims that you can use it for 30 hours between charges is not true, normally it needs charged every evening after using it for video and the internet during the day. I have also found that using Wi-Fi connection means that the battery drains far more quickly. Music Playback You download music and other content to your iPod touch via iTunes. As well as buying content from the iTunes store you can add any music from your CD collection or computer onto the player easily. It is easy to sort your music into...

FAST Free CD DVD PSX covers

Advantages: fast, free, variety of CD, DVD, games covers
Disadvantages: lots of advertising, some covers maybe US versions (you will need a printer to print them!

...From time to time we all tend to lose the covers from our CD’s, DVD’s maybe yours have got lost.., the kids may have scribbled over them or mishandled them, or the dog chewed it up!!! or if like me, you make your own CD’s, then cdcoverz is the site for you!!

Sony DVP-NS355 CD/DVD Player

Advantages: Ultra slim and very easy to use.
Disadvantages: No scart lead supplied and not Multi-region.

...I've been using this DVD player for a few months now and it came as part of a deal with my Sony TV. I have to say that it has to be the best DVD player I have had to date in terms of quality and features. Despite having no scart lead in the box, it was no dilema as I have a few spare about the house but I guess it can be very frustrating to anyone that doesn't, purely for the inconvenience of having to buy one seperately. I did however find some audio leads a free Toy Story DVD feature film in the box, which was a nice suprise. I'm not sure if this is a standard freebie with the DVD player. It plays DVD's, DVD-RW, CD's, VCD and Data CD. I have found this product very easy to use, I like the fact that I can stop the DVD during play, then resume at a later point exactly where I'd stopped it. (even when the power off button is...
