    why is there no netflix for cd's?

    I can see the RIAA having a fit. Any other reasons? I wouldnt mind renting some cds.

    Because they are so easy to copy.

              Not yet,, too much data. Not everyone has burners, dvds are more expensive. Maybe in a couple years.

                    A DVD takes too long to copy even for experts unless you are just making a standard DVD to DVD copy. They are safe for another couple of years. CD's on the other hand take only 20 minutes to copy.
                    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                      No it doesn't. : )
                      although it's nowhere where CD's are..
                      an encode/reauthor and an 8x burn is pretty quick. takes maybe 20 - 30 minutes total.. in which time you can acquire a 300dpi cover, a suitable label, print them, trim the printed cover, and insert it into a blank case. : )

                        its much more process intensive though.... you almost need a dedicated machine to do it.... which is fine, if you're bored

                                DVD Shrink, pioneer A07 8x (with hacked firmware), prodisc 4x media on a p4 2.8 (1.5g) using a drive other than C: to handle the rips/temporary files.

                                If compression is too great (usually anything below 90% (though 80% you still get pretty flawless picture)) i strip menus, extras, and non english languages), and if that's doesn't help, i'll split a long movie over multiple discs with no compression.

                                at least til they come out with consumer dual layer discs.

                                    of course I don't condone any of the actions I described in this thread and you should always buy your DVD's from the store.
