note to people who desire less anguish than I go thru: if you’ve been having problems with Pillar Box type sidebars on burnt DVDs and you want to see if you’ve figured out the problem, DO NOT USE A PS3 TO CHECK. It refuses to stretch the video, so those pillar boxes will be there regardless and if you’ve forgotten this, you’ll have a hard time to realizing you’ve solved the problem. A really hard time, until you think to just use a normal DVD player.
So obvious. So dumb. So happy this is over and I can start burning things again.
ALSO, is it weird if you’re trying to fall asleep at 2:30am and suddenly realize you never ate dinner?
