Okay I’m fully aware of how ridiculous this sounds in 2023, but bare with me.
I have a wonderful neighbour, Jackie. She’s in her mid-sixties, and ever since she moved in we have become very good friends, she’s like a second mom to me.
Jackie loves movies and has an enormous DVD collection. One day, she was talking about how she couldn’t find a particular movie, and I said “I can probably download that for you!” Her immediate reply was “Can you put it on a DVD?” I tried telling her the many reasons it would be better to use a myriad of other solutions, but she insists on DVDs.
I did them for a while using DVDStyler on Windows, and it worked fine. But then I installed EndeavourOS on a new partition on my hard drive, tried using Brasero and Devede but it wouldn’t read on her DVD player. Then I tried DVDStyler on my Linux partition, and it didn’t work on her DVD player, despite saying the operation was successful on my end. I then tried booting up into Windows and using DVDStyler, and that also didn’t work, not even letting me burn the disc. Does anyone have any ideas what could fix this? I’ve tried playing around with the settings in all these apps but I couldn’t figure it out.
Apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this, but I figured a community of pirates would understand my desire to get movies to Jackie without her having to pray to find them in a pawn shop!
Maybe it’s a bit extreme, but I’d suggest to buy an old pc with a burner from goodwill and do the burning on that device.
Or, like others suggested, a new burner for you pc. But to me that looks like a lot of trouble for not much worth. Do you use the burner for anything else than your neighbour? Probably not, right? So I’d say, a cheap, dedicated pc with an ssh connection. That you you don’t clutter up your own pc too much.
