Seems to be more of a gimmick to me. Kinda seems like a disc for lazy people, backing up photos is easy, create a data disc in nero and drag your files over and then burn, my guess is probably every one here can do that.
For dvd burning experts in this forum, it might be a gimmick but for newbies to burning I think this feature will be welcomed.
As for the price, yes I agree $3 per is too much given you can get the ānormalā Verbatim DVD for a few cents. But hey⦠itās still new⦠and itās in single packs.
What happens if you copy the PhotoSave.exe program to your desktop, remove the PhotoSave DVD, insert a regular DVD, then run the PhotoSave.exe program manually? If the program works with regular DVDs while being run from a hard drive, you only need to buy someone 1 of these, have them copy the software to their drive, then they can use it with cheaper media.
Also, why canāt we simply take the software and make pre-recorded PhotoSave DVDs for family and friends, using cheaper media? Yeah, I know, that would be āstealing,ā but Iām just curious if it would work.
Also, is anyone going to do a comparison between this and these:

⦠Yeah, I know, that would be āstealing,ā but Iām just curious if it would work.[/quote] Be curious all you want, but please donāt discuss ways of illegally copying software here.
If you can show me a license agreement which says copying of the software is allowed, then you can discuss it here.

Stealing? Stealing is charging 3$ for a single DVD just because some small piece of software.
Iād still rather get a free app and burn from there. Oh, I already have ImgBurn and a free Nero with my burner, not to mention Toast for my Mac.
Absolutely worthless for me. And being stingy doesnāt help.
ā¦Although it seems worth it for yer mom and pops who donāt know jack about authoring programs and whoāll burn a total of ~25 DVDs in their whole lives.

You just described my mum ā¦sheās never burned a DVD, but burns plenty of CDs (with CloneCDā¦that and Burrrn are the only burning proggies she knows how to use).
Sheād love these discs (edit: so itās a pity they donāt come in CDR flavour)ā¦I wouldnāt mind testing some out, though.
One more thing Iād like to point at for Verbatim⦠Isnāt this a typo? If I needed to span discs after 4.5MB Iād rather get any el cheapo dime CD-R at the local grocer.

They probably meant GB. Now pay up Verbatim! [/QUOTE]
ROTFL!! Well spotted
