    A couple of years ago I digitised a VHS tape that had Terminator 2 recorded off TV. And I burned it on DVD-R.
    (I think it had some sound sync issue though? Might need to hunt for a better DVD mastering software.)
    You know, I love the Blu-Ray version, but the version recorded off TV has a special place in my heart. Pure nineties feels.

    As for CD-Rs… I can’t remember.

    I burned a Blu-ray like 2 weeks ago. I also routinely burn CDs because my relatively new car still has a player built in (though I think in the last 3 years, Subaru got rid of it on newer models)

    I can’t know for sure, but probably a game for Dreamcast. The last CD-R spool I bought has been my office door stopper for years and years now. Verbatim brand, 2/3rd remain of a 50 pack.

    It was a Linux ISO. I didn’t care. I was one of those weirdos that used minidisc. I miss minidisc terribly and I do not understand why.

    I don’t know about CD, but I did a DVD recently. It was the installation media for OpenShift that the agent based install generates. For some reason the installer ISO that was made could not be booted with Ventoy or if dd’d to a USB drive. It seems to only work if booting from virtual media like Redfish or if you actually burn it to DVD… Honestly, my last CD was probably also some lunux distro in the mid 2000s.

    My old car has a cd drive and really good speakers, and I have an old Linux computer with a cd/dvd drive, and cds are really cheap, and I pirate music, so the last time I burnt a cd was yesterday, and not out of novelty but because its the only way I can listen to music in the car.

    I will probably burn another cd in the future, but ig you never know, lmao.

      If your car has an aux you could use Bluetooth to aux. But yeah a lot of old cars don’t. Mine didn’t so I was in the same situation as you for many years burning CDs! They could be MP3 CDs though, very fancy ;P

    I burned the soft mod dvd for my xbox, but that was 8 years ago. I’m thinking about using some M-disc as another offline backup for my server.
