Re: questions about downloading the episodes to disc

I am trying to make a few discs with all of the episodes from season 2.
I downloaded the episodes from Livewire and I have them on my
hardrive. Does anyone know iif I can save them to discs without ruining
the quality? I have the CD-R discs.

The AVI format that many of the torrents are in will play on stand alone DVD
players like he Philips 642 that can play the Xvid codec.

I've only run into a few things that I couldn't play in it like some mpg2
encoded things here and there.

When you burn them using say Nero if you choose the size of the media you
wish to burn to it will double check that you can in fact get all of what
you want into the space available. Whether it's DVD±R, DVD+R or DVD-R or
CD-R you should choose to burn a "data" type disc to perserve the format of
the avi or mpg files that most torrents are encoded in.

As to the legality of watching Doctor Who in this manner, us US fans have
little choice as we'd just have gotten around to seeing PotW if we had
waited for the BBC and Sci-Fi channel to pull their thumbs outta their
asses.

I hope like me all the fans over here still want all of these with the
commentaries and extras I hope the DVD box sets will have. I've been so busy
I need to see if in fact season one is available yet.

Has anyone gotten the box set of CE's season yet? What are the extras like?
