I&rsquo;m thinking of jumping on this, although if the company goes under, development may never progress and outstanding bugs may never get fixed.  It is pretty expensive, $99 at most places, but DVD media is getting cheaper and it would pay for itself pretty quickly once I start &ldquo;backing up&rdquo; movies.  So far the recording process only works on one layer at a time, meaning that multiple layer DVDs need to be spread onto more than one disc, so that is a bit of a pain.  I imagine that newer generations of the software and DVD-Recordable drives will remedy this, though.
