Would you rather have more video on a DVD, and have the playback on your PC or Mac, or less video and the playback via standard DVD player to the TV.

We are of course talking about tutorial DVD's here not films.

I personally like to watch my dvd's on the TV where I can sit back relax and drink beer and eat some junk food(Doritos, Nachos...) and be comfortable rather than sitting in front of my pc. SO I voted for TV payback.

Seems if you're following a tutorial though, it'd be easier to do at the computer...unless you have a tv next to your monitor.

I prefer PC, since I don't have a regular DVD-player and my pc is linked to my TV. And even if I had a DVD-player, I would still play on PC so I can directly implement tut's on my other PC user added image

Pure_Morning: not entirely true. 95% of the TVs crops the image and doesn't show the whole picture.. That's why there are these things called action safe and title safe areas...

Anyway, I voted for TV format 'cause that can be played on both PC (with WinDVD or similar) and a standalone player...
