Newbies 106: Blank Media Theory (Part 1 of 3)

[Faustus]

For the record, I have never called anyone a Wanker in my life.

Kill the Princo masses

[Capmaster]

What a load of CRAP?

I have sold, now let me see......2430 CRATES of PRINCO DVD-R, that works out at about 121000 discs, and I have not had 1 come back.

For your information there are three different types of Princo DVD-R, now would it not be in your BEST interests to find out just what levels there are.
Or are you just going to sit in your little puppet world of looking in the mirror wishing you were some kind of EXPERT TEACHER OF DVD BLANKs.

Why dont you talk to a person who is in the know?

Is there a full moon or something?

[gitreel]

Yes, and it sounds like a naked geek.

[Capmaster]

Yes, and it sounds like a naked geek.

That was my first instinct, but he doesn't plug his own media. Of course, the real NG has no love for our esteemed teacher, so it could be him taking the opportunity to get in some cheap shots :P

Well look who wandered into the lecture hall.

Alright dumbass, let me start at the beginning, shall we? We'll call this Newbies 000: Indolikaa Khan's Guide to the Blatanly Obvious. You notice I've chosen the number '000' for this personalized seminar? It was chosen to match your apparent intellectual comprehension; I didn't want to use a number you couldn't count to. I've also decided to keep the lecture hall closed so you have my full and undivided attention. Perhaps what I'm about to say will sink in to your thick skull? We shall see...

THIS thread is called...HUMOR! Yes, that which is intented to be funny. You remember what it's like to laugh, Hobnob? You should, the doctors were doing a lot of it right about the time your mother was thinking abortion wouldn't have been such a bad thing after all. You should have a lot of experience in this field from day one.

I've been writing stuff like this for a long time now. There's no real-world value to any of it; the purpose is to make people laugh. Anybody who takes this kind of stuff seriously has some significant self-confidence issues, to say the least. It's a joke, HobNob, and if you feel your precious 'vendor reputation' has somehow been stained, why don't you send some of your lawyers to my Ranch, where we can discuss the finer points of the 1st Amendement of the Constitution of the United States. I think your time would be more productively spent shoving some of those crates straight up your ass, but that's just an observation.

Now let's breakdown your tirade into something more manageable, shall we?

What a load of CRAP?

Yes, Princo discs are a load of crap.

I have sold, now let me see......2430 CRATES of PRINCO DVD-R, that works out at about 121000 discs, and I have not had 1 come back.

Is that because your alarm clock always goes off before the angry customers start stalking you, or because your doing business on a different street corner each day?

For your information there are three different types of Princo DVD-R, now would it not be in your BEST interests to find out just what levels there are.

Actually, Mr. Know-It-All, there are four different types of Princo DVD-R discs: Shit, Pure Shit, Even Shittier, and Shit That Hobmob Sells. Get your facts straight before you start criticizing my information.

Or are you just going to sit in your little puppet world of looking in the mirror wishing you were some kind of EXPERT TEACHER OF DVD BLANKs.

Hmmm, let's see...

I look in the mirror this morning and see a man who had a little too much booze last night, hasn't shaved in a week, and could stand to lose a few pounds. I also see someone who has a dream job, a wad of cash in the bank, a happy marriage, and the freedom and time to do what he really wants with his life.

I'd have to say my puppet world isn't too bad.

Why dont you talk to a person who is in the know?

You haven't posted a single verifiable piece of information that shows you have any idea what you're talking about!

Let's start with your business name, so we can see if you have any complaints lodged with the Better Business Bureau, or your locality's law enforcement offices. I'd also like to check your vendors to see what kind of reputation you've established with them, and if your statement regarding returns is even remotely possible. And throw your annual financials in for good measure. Your taxes say many things about your honesty and integrity as a businessman.


Anything else you'd like to discuss?

[tekkieman]

Shit, I love it when he does that!

[Capmaster]

Shit, I love it when he does that!

Being bitch-slapped by the professor ......

Well, since we are in WitchHunt mode, and I'm bored, let's just take a quick look:

HI ALL,
JUST A SHORT LITTLE NOTE TO ALL OF YOU AND TO SAY MANY THANX FOR THIS SITE, BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, I DONT THINK I WOULD BE WATCHING MOVIES ON MY PC.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT NERO 6 AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN NERO 6 AND 5, I KNOW THERE ARE VISUAL CHANGES BUT IS THERE ANY CHANGES WORTH NOTING.

I HAVE UPGRADED FROM 5.5 to 6.

IF THERE IS A POST YOU COULD POINT TO, THAT WOULD FANTASTIC.

Many Thanx hobmob

HI ALL,
I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A PIONEER DVR-106D, AFTER MAKING 100s OF VCDs.

I AM USING DVD DECRYPTER ALONG WITH DVD SHRINK AND NERO 6.

THE ONLY BLANK I HAVE IS A PIONEER DVD-RW AND CANNOT WORKOUT WHY I CANT WATCH THE END RESULT ON MY AKAI STANDALONE.

ALSO WHICH IS BETTER TO BURN WITH DVD-R OR +R.

PS AM I USING THE RIGHT SOFTWARE.

I HOPE SO

MANY THANX

CHARLIE B

HI ALL,
I HAVE A PIONEER 106D, I HAVE AM TRYING TO BACK UP A DVD5 MOVIE OF MINE.
I HAVE PUT THE MOVIE INTO DVD SHRINK AND IT SAYS ITS UNDER 4.7.
OK, DONE BACK UP TO HDD AND TRIED TO BURN WITH NERO 6.0 AND ITS SAYS BEFORE BURNING THAT IT CANNOT FIND VIDEO_TS or AUDIO_TS, EVEN THOU I SEE IT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

WHAT FILES ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT, I CAN ALREADY SEE THEM THERE.
I HAVE ALSO TRIED USING DE-CRYPTER WITH SAME RESULT.

CHARLIE

HI ALL,
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT BURNING PROGRAM I SHOULD USE FOR BURNING DVD-R.
I HAVE A CELERON 2.4 WIN XP PRO AND 512 RAM.
I ALSO HAVE 2 DVD BURNERS 1: SAMSUNG WHICH IS A DRESSED UP 1300A NEC. 2: PIONEER 106D.

OK, I HAVE BEEN USING DVD DECRYPTER TO RIP MY MOVIES TO HDD, AND THEN I USUALLY PUT IT THROUGH DVD SHRINK (latest) AND THEN BURN WITH NERO.

I HAVE READ SOMEWHERE YOU CAN EITHER BURN WITH DECRYPTER OR SHRINK, OR WAS I DREAMING lolololol.

Kindest Regards HOBMOB

Seems that mister ALL CAPS doesn't know much about burning disks, which you would think a person selling disks would want to know


I truly hope their post in this thread was to add to the jest, but it certainly didn't come across that way.

Please give me some warning before you flame me.... So I can bend over, pull down my pants, and blast a FART in your direction. I want to see if the gas will burn and create a huge flaming torch coming out of my ASS!

[Capmaster]

HI ALL,
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT BURNING PROGRAM I SHOULD USE FOR BURNING DVD-R.

Is anyone else wondering what he's been doing here these last 2 years? :P

[tekkieman]

Off topic, perchance?????

I think not if he didn't get indo's humor.....

[indolikaa]

You know, I really gave it serious consideration that he was kidding. I really, really did. In fact, I thought about it so much that I almost popped a Triple-A over it...

Then I got up and flushed.


Emoticons. Use them.

[Cobra]

Changing the subject (back to the lecture), what have we to look forward to in Part II? Is it still the same subject? I'll try to restrain myself this time - I'm still waiting for Dr.Gee and vitualis to remove these damned pitchforks from my nose...

CobraaaAAAGGHH!!

CobraaaAAAGGHH!!

Well, for starters, I'm going to take some cheap shots at all my favorite personal enemies here on videohelp.com.

Then I thought we'd move into a tag-team bashing session by recalling some of the more famous 'idiot media' postings.

And finally, well, there will be another intermission. Remember, this IS a 3-part seminar...

[Cobra]

When will it be happening, sir?

[gitreel]

Ow, cap just stabbed me in the hand with a pitchfork.

He did it so, he could get the air hose again.

[indolikaa]

Tuesday morning at 8:00 AM sharp!


I figure Monday's out of the question. Word from the Sheriff's department is y'all found the sheep ranches... :P

[flaninacupboard]

[Cobra]

Damn, I'll be working then... Unless you can get an NCR till to launch Internet Exploder!

TVI, see your location info? Definitely applies...

Quality image - reckon Capmaster will use it for his avatar?

I'm feeling those stirrings again .......

[Keefkey]

Professor, I stand before you naked (figuratively speaking) and ashamed. For I am guilty of using, and still using, Princo media. After reading your lecture and reading from the good book of the Lordsmurf, my shame became ten-fold.

How could I atone for this. Thoughts of self crucifixion arose (but it's hard to get the last nail in), instead I fashioned a crown of thorns from some of the offending media and wore a garment emblazoned with 'Princo Whore'. The remaining discs were cast into the fiery pit of the microwave, there to burn for eternity (5 seconds each on full power).

Then... salvation. From out of the Cupboard of Flan came a sign. A roadway leading to a Garden of Eden where I would find the Holy Grail of DVD media, Taiyo Yuden. Though the journey was long, I prevailed and soon I will receive deliverance.

Is it possible to forgive the transgressions of a young acolyte who strayed from the path?

My brother you have strayed, but you are on the path to eeeenlightenment! to show your commitment to the faith i'm passing round a collection dish. paper money only.

[northcat_8]

I have sold, now let me see......2430 CRATES of PRINCO DVD-R, that works out at about 121000 discs, and I have not had 1 come back.

That works out to 49.79 discs per crate

What happened to the other .21 discs?

Or in math bobanob can understand: That means of the 121000 discs you've sold, 500 of the original blanks were not sold....2430*50=121500...do you have 500 coasters? Come on...be honest...you can tell us.

Also interesting to read that bobanob did not ask questions about "authoring" a DVD...only backing them up....but has sold 121,000 discs For shame bobanob...for shame...

[northcat_8]

Sorry I was late for class Dr. Khan (******* prick), I was out of town and just got back. I did retrieve some interesting reference materials for Capmaster and some items for a future class.

Sheep Mounting The Tennessee way
Kentucky's guide to picking up your sister
Nashville's Wooly little secret
The Church Hill Clown's Orgy (The real Kentucky derby)
Safely flipping off Florida drivers while weaving traffic at 92 mph.

All 5 of these are on DVD....except for Kentucky's Guide to Picking up your sister....I had to handi-cam this in the theatre, but I'll have the DVD authored post haste.


OK...now from what I could gather from Capmaster's sticky notes.....blank media needs to be round??? WOW....maybe that's why all of my discs won't play in my stand alone. Where could I find these round 1.44 MB discs??

And this organic dye...I am kind of familiar with some organic dyes....is it red?? Cause I know where we can get all kinds of red organic dye Let me know because my sources only carry it 5 days a month....I guess it takes a while to restock...I always take all they have

I would also like to confess....I have never used Princo. I started with a 5 pack of Maxell's that I bought when I bought my DVD burner. Someone on here told me Ritek was the way to go...many people agreed with him, so I tried them and have never burned a coaster, so I've had no reason to try TY...but will if even 1 Ritek fails on me....I will fall in line with your teachings(you egotistical mother ******). Thank You for your guidence.

That is why I never mess with maths teachers! When they prove you wrong it's cold, clinical and terribly precise... 8)

[Cobra]

Just a quick question - how do you pronounce "Taiyo Yuden" properly?

[lordsmurf]

TAY-YO-YOU-DEN

Ahhh a trilogy .... make it a Star Wars, not a Matrix.

I'll be here.

Don't forget anything important.

[flaninacupboard]

tie-yo you-den. that's what i say anyway...
