I’ve been a member for awhile but this is the first time I’ve posted. I recently received a high definition televison and a pvr (Dish Network’s version of Tivo) receiver. I’ve recorded a few of the Star Wars movies in high definition as well as the three part series “Science of Star Wars” off Discovery HD hosted by the droids. I’m saving the series on my PVR’s hard drive but that’s a lot of space and if the receiver breaks or something I’m sunk. I could burn them to dvd, but they would lose a lot of quality. I know HD-DVD (or Blue-Ray) burners don’t exist yet, but is there anyway I can save them until when hd-dvd or blue-ray burners are available (and affordable) without losing any quality?

Blu-Ray burners do exisit, they just cost 600 dollars. Then the disks cost 25 for one. As for where to put the files, you could get an external drive or something to that effect. (I don't really know how big these files are, I don't have a Hi-Def TV, or cable/satilite for that matter).

I've been looking to touch base with him as well. I haven't seen him on IM for awhile.
