Here come da Judge...

In article ,
says...

I've done video transcoding on both a Vista computer and a Win 7 (both
64 bit) computer. Yeah, depending on the video it can take 20 or 30
minutes to complete but how often do I do it? Not very.

My dad burns a lot pirated movies onto DVD's using Windows. Hardly ever
watches any of them.
Maybe with a Mac he could make more DVD's that he won't watch?
My wife was burning Netflix rentals onto DVD's on her computer.
Hundreds of them. We watched maybe 5% of them.
Then she stopped. She learned the futility of it.
I'm nearly all electronic now, and don't have much use for DVD's.

I've never tried it on my iMac but it wouldn't perform like Harry's. He
tricks his computers out with max RAM and the "best" of everything.
Mere mortals like me that use computers for common, everyday stuff don't
do that.

As for Mac versus PCs ... I like 'em both. The iMac gets very little
use though. For my purposes and judgement it is of excellent quality,
fast enough but I really have to ask myself if it's 2 or 3 times better
than the Win 7 HP laptop or Vista HP laptop that I use in terms of
price. I don't think so. It still reminds me of an overgrown, pricy
version of my wife's iPhone.

Hey, if you want it, buy it. I never used a laptop except when work
required it, and my home PC's are big towers. Quality is top-notch,
since I chose the components when I built them.
I thoroughly enjoy my vacations sans any computers.
