I decid this would be a good investment for Zaakistan Productions. I go to go buy one of these burners for my Mac in Moncton, NB and there are none, so I have Carl ship one to me in Montreal. I wander the wet streets of Montreal looking for the special DVD+Rs to take back with me (I&#8217;m certain these things aren&#8217;t available in Tactic). After 9 stores and nothing, I arrive at a second Future Shop and it&#8217;s really hopping.  I look around and I don&#8217;t see what I am looking for, so I log onto a computer there and I find out that this is the only Future Shop in Montreal that has some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacie.com\/products\/product.htm?pid=10096\">Lightscribe DVD+R<\/a>. I talk to the disk department guy and he says &#8220;If you can&#8217;t find it, neither can I.&#8221; Nice. I give up and have supper with Gabriel. He tells me of a store (Micro Bytes) on Saint Jacques that I should check out. The next morning I do, and I buy the last 6 packs of 10 there.<\/p>\n<p>Early this morning, I finally get the right combination of factors in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/finalcutstudio\/dvdstudiopro\/\">DVD Studio Pro<\/a> to burn a final copy of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zaakistan.com\/film\/index.html\">selling DVD<\/a> of &#8220;Strength and Honour.&#8221; It looks sharp on the TV.  I try to burn an image onto the top of a DVD and it doesn&#8217;t work. I&#8217;m told by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacie.com\/caen\/\">LaCie<\/a> support that I need the software updates, two of them (750KB and 1.3MB). No problem, if I have a good internet connection, which I don&#8217;t. So between office errands, I drop into a internet lab that I&#8217;ve never tried before and ask to hook up my PowerBook &#8211; after some delay and bewilderment, they let me and I download the updates.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m home and there is just 7 of the 21 minutes left to burn the first DVD label.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zaakistan.com\/photos\/blog\/dvdr.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Voil\u00e1!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl tells me about this new-fangled DVD burner that burns images onto the top of DVD+Rs.
