CF -> DVD?

[ematteo 0]

Anyone have experience with stand-alone DVD burners? Speed, reliability, ease of use?

Deuce mentioned using stand-alone for tandem student CDs but that limits you to 512MB.

Looks like there is at least one product out there for DVDs:

Would be interesting to get feedback if anyone has used one (or has an alternative product).

Thanks,

I am asumming you mean for downloading STILLS?
I don't jump digital yet so I couldnt help you there.

BUT I do know that DVD cost a bit more than CD's so if you are going to use a whole DVD to put a handful of digital pics on, you may find yourself spening more than you care to.

Evan, we put like 200 pictures on the photo CD's we give the customers. Total overkill at the CD rate, We burn their video to DVD on a Philips DVDR 75, or whatever is next in that product line. They leave with a photo disc that they can use at the picture maker at Wal-Mart or wherever, and the DVD of their jump.

You're getting 200 stills on a jump now? Is that 3fps for the duration of the jump?

Almost (almost!) too much of a good thing for the customer - how do they pick the best ones?

That includes ground shots from before and after, and if they have a lot of family around and are jumping with lots of friends, it provides lots of opportunities for pictures.

A VERY long way from making sure to have just a few ground, a few in the plane, not too many in freefall so that you got the opening and the landing.
