I remember in 6th grade making a wreath with computer punch cards. I learned programming when I was in my early 20s on punch cards. It took a while for technology to gear up and move faster on data saving.
There’s a YouTuber (Nerdrotic) who used to work for Technicolor.
He has a story about how you would think a company like Technicolor would have an expensive setup to create the actual DVDs, but no.
That DVD you have that’s more than 10-15 years old that went through any Technicolor process? More than likely made using an illegal/stolen copy of Nero.
I had a....friend....who'd get Netflix DVDs in the mail, rip them, and put them back in the mail same day. Fun times. I remember you had a certain speed you could burn at to be safe. Sometimes if you tried to burn too fast it wouldn't work right. And burners would get faster and faster. Then players started just playing straight from a portable drive so you never had to burn again.
Ah yes, the early Netflix unlimited days. I'd go to Fry's electronics and buy a stack of 100 DVDR's for about 8 or 12 bucks, burn and return and watch them at my earliest convenience.
Nope. I'm prodigy on a 2400baud modem...
Actually, a ti99/4a with a 300baud acoustic coupler if you want to be technical... it was a dark time
... don't like to talk about it
I remember being so bad that I had one computer online downloading 24-7 and a 2nd computer whose only purpose was to burn those files to DVD ....100's of DVDs daily!! Money was good in those days!!
Ah those were the days. Never knowing if your blank cd would actually get burnt without the dreaded “buffer overrun” crashing windows and with another wasted blank cd
I still have this CD. It's in a paper sleeve with the product ID code written on the outside. However, I do NOT have a CD drive on any of my computers. 🤷🏽
Keep going back. I'm old enough that I loaded programs onto computers with punched cards.
