| Archiving TV captures, although hard drives are cheap enough now that may be changing. | ||||

| I primarily use my blank dvd's for DVD backups. I have 2 boys ages 3 and 7 that love to scratch the hell out of our dvd's. I think I have had to replace the backup of Disneys Car's about 6 times so far!
I do use dvd's for special occassions like birthdays, holidays, etc but I get way more use backing up my commercial dvds. | ||||

| Mostly DVD backup, but I use a lot for just data backups and general system backups. Blu-ray will my next step, primarily for data backup. | ||||

Ah so a true implementation of the COASTER feature built in to some recordable dvds huh? :D :D | ||||

| Hmm....
That's a hard one..... All of above, except the BluRay option. Although i would say the majority is bootleg concert collecting & trading. Must be upward of around 600 now. I stopped counting audio and now just go by GB's, about 200. :lol: | ||||

| Primarily, I use re-witable DVD media, for timeshifting TV. I save only about 20% of what I record to view again. | ||||

I thought that was what the DVD tray was for, it's a handy drink holder. :? :lol: | ||||

Naw it keeps going back in and spilling my beer. Actually I use them for backup, archive and the occasional DVD backup | ||||

You have to ration that - it's only good for 24 uses. It does say 24X on it after all... | ||||

| BIG jump in Blu-Ray :shock: :? | ||||
| MOVIEGEEK posted 2009 May 07 16:15 | ||||
| 62% have moved to Blu-ray?!
I find it hard to believe that many people are using a $10 BD-R,I still use a $.40 DVDR for data and video. | ||||
| Number Six posted 2009 May 07 16:58 | ||||
| What happened - now the vote count is way down :? | ||||
| johns0 posted 2009 May 07 20:29 | ||||
Should have put a avchd-dvdr in the poll since its media and not really other. | ||||
| DereX888 posted 2009 May 09 13:27 | ||||
| It is missing "all of the above" (except moved to BD) | ||||
| zoobie posted 2009 May 11 16:15 | ||||
| gee...twice as many copy DVD's than anything else...who knew? :roll: | ||||
| DereX888 posted 2009 May 11 22:14 | ||||
Yeah, I wouldn't believe it if it were less. But surprisingly only 11% (ATM) stated to move to Blu, it is very low percentage considering this is videohelp and not some JoeShmoe-chats-about-sport-dot-com website. | ||||
