Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention Videos
Hi Folks,
OK, I'll expose my ignorance. I have a old PC that will read CDs but
will not write them nor read DVD's. So when someone starts talking about
CDR media, DVD, DVT... formats.
Can someone spell out what formats there are and which are reproducible
at low cost and what equipment is needed.
Thanks,
Ray
