haha ..... :bsmilie::sweatsm:No, not to transfer from the videocam recorder to dvd.
Ya, more of a dvd duplicator - you know those where you have to duplicate like a dvd or vcd for each of the 20 uncle and auntie who appears in your videocam during Chinese New Year?

few ways...
1) send to shops to duplicate
2) buy a duplicator from Sim Lim Square, a number of them there... but quite pricey.
3) since you have to burn the initial copy, just burn the initial copy as an iso. then you just use the iso to burn every copy. don't have to drag and drop files after that.
Thanks! Will see how much is it to send to shops to duplicate v how much to get a duplicator.
a 1 to 1 duplicator is about 300-500... a 1 to 2 or 1 to 4 or more is alot lot more expensive. and you still have to change disc 1 by 1.
send to shop to dupe varies from 5 to 20 depending on the job done, and labelling.
Oh. Thanks for the info.
May be still cheaper getting a 1 to 1 duplicator assuming that it's around $10 a copy, and that I duplicate 20 per chinese new year and the machine last me 2 years.
;p

If you are going to get just a 1 to 1 duplicator and pay so much for one... I would rather suggest you use the DVD recorder in your PC to do the duplication.
What are your worries about using the PC for this? Power consumption or copy error when you also use the PC for other task at the same time? I can still do other work on my PC and downloading stuff on my PC and still have no problem copying the CD in the background at the same time. (I use a Core2 Duo with 3gig ram) Doing a copy at 8X copy speed which is about 6mins per disc (higher spin rate is not good if you want good copies without problems consistently)
Oh, didn't realise that a DVD recorder in PC is alot cheaper. If that's the case, then I would get a DVD recorder.
If the prices are about the same, then I would get a 1 to 1 duplicator ... then my parents can do it themselves while I continue my quests in the World of Warcraft...;p

that's about the size of it heheh.... a typical DVD writer for a PC is cheap but please don't try to get the cheapest hehe... something in the $60 to 80 will get you a pretty good one. I kinda like Sony and Samsung which I have gotten quite a few for myself and install for friends without any problems.
Keep the spin rate to 6X and you will have a good copy. Higher speed are dicey at times. And yes... I agree... GO FOR SATA DVD drives only.
a sata dvd recorder is only less than 100 bucks, some better ones are abit more...
if you intend to get 2 dvd writer, better get 2 sata ones instead of 2 ide ones. cos most of the mobos only give 1 ide, and if you daisy chain them, the dvds will not burn on the fly.
best is still to create iso then burn.
How does getting 2 dvd writers work? As in you can put the original copy in one, and a blank copy in another so that they read and write at the same time?
