storing movie files....

[spade357]

Hi guys,

Are there any consequences if I save/backup my movie files (.avi files) in a DVD-R instead on my hard drive? What's the point of getting a larger drive if I can save the files in a DVD-R instead? Isn't it safer to save them in the DVD-R in case of a crash?

Thanks

for just saving, your dvd-r will work find, it'll be like any other saved data. You will not be able to view those files on a standalone player, but could view them right off the dvd on your computer.
