I admit I?m a newbie, but I?m doing a ton of research?and this forum seems to be the best in regard to answering the ??? I have. I?m waiting for my new hp Media Center PC (Model: pc 864) to arrive and looking forward to breaking it in with a vengeance.

What it has: Intel P4, 2.6 GHz with HT ?512 MB DDR SDRAM?160 GB 5400 rpm?4x DVD+RW/CD-RW combo drive.

What I need to know re:dvd x copy:
1) Best media to buy?dvd+r, dvd+rw, dvd-r or dvd-rw? And what speed is best?2X vs. 4x for what I?ll be doing?
2) Do I buy DVD X Gold or hold out for the Platinum edition? Will Platinum indeed combine the best of DVC and Express? (That may be the question on everyone?s mind I know?). Of course we?d all like the ease of Express as well as the 1 disc result, but want the quality and inclusion of all menus/languages that DVC gives?should we think Platinum will make that dream come true?. BTW, whatever product I buy from 321 Studios will be my first from them?

Looking forward to all of your expert advice (just don?t tell me that the HP system is a piece of shit)?Thanks!

Neither In my honest opinion. Justuse DVD Shrink or DVD Decypter/DVD2One
