Hi, Daniel,

Enjoyed your post.  I've been using a Panasonic DVD recorder with HDD 
for several years now. Rarely a coaster. Very unusual.

The HDD does enable easy recovery when a disk fails to record or 
close... or when multiple copies are needed without a "tower of DVD 
burners."

Did have some questions raised by your recommendations:

What's been your experience with shipping Amaray or slim-style 
(half-width) full DVD cases?

Plastic jewel cases can break or shatter easily, in my experience.  Too 
brittle and can be cracked by something smacking into the shipping 
envelope during transit.  Or the cover hinge ears break off if someone 
drops the case, rendering the case a "wasted case" (pun optional.)

I'm waiting to see what Stil Design's new DVD case is like late this 
year or early next year.

I do like their new archival CD case... made of a flexible material 
that won't break if dropped or something smashed into what its in 
during shipping. All one piece. No ears to break. Is apparently being 
used by one or more US Presidential archive. *usual "not connected to 
company mentioned" disclaimer applies.

How do you handle something destined for viewing on US television 
(analog, anyhow) which needs 7.5IRE setup for black to be correct?

Ted.
