Can't have too many copies, especially since we have to have at least one copy to lend out when we get someone new interested in Firefly...
I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me.

Just got mine in the mail!
The quality is much better than I expected. Thanks, TRS80!!!!!!!!
One thing about my computer DVD player. The menu loaded up just fine, but it took over two minutes for the episode to start playing. I thought my computer froze. Just before I did the CRTL-ALT-DEL, the episode started playing. I found it to be consistent for all episodes.
The Phillips DVD player in the living worked worked just fine. ???
Fantastic job, excellent menu. I want to order another one for my mom. She's been calling me all hours of the night, asking me if I got my Firefly DVD's yet.
Has YOUR mom seen Firefly, lately?

Man, I was supposed to get a lot of work done tonight, but I'm watching Firefly instead!
I'm crapping my pants right now out of pure happiness.
I'd like to shake your hand, TRS80. Thanks a lot.

Is it wrong to crap your pants and offer to shake hands at the same time?

Ewwww 
I've put together some compatibility information on the discs, based on feedback from everyone. Players which seem to be best for these discs (and are pretty good players in general when it comes to burned DVD-R/DVD+R media):
Any Sony model
Any Pioneer model
Any Apex unit with a model # HIGHER than 1600 (i.e., 2200, 2400)
Many (but not all) Panasonic units
Known problematic players for my discs:
Any Toshiba model
Some Mitsubishi models
Some Magnavox models
Any Philips model
Apex units with a model # LOWER than 1600 (i.e., 1500, 1200)
JVCs and Samsungs seem to be about 50/50, depending on model.
If a brand/model is not listed, I have not received a report on it so compatibility is unknown.
As for computer DVD ROM drives, Toshibas seem to be the only units that don't like the discs. Also, older versions of PowerDVD and WinDVD computer DVD player software seem to have
random troubles. The latest versions of each work fine.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PLAYSTATION2 USERS: Several people who have purchased these discs report the very first time you insert one of the discs it plays fine. After that none of the discs
will play, whether they've been in the unit before or not. This has happened for the majority of people who tried it. A couple of people told me they play fine in their PS2.
I hope this helps.

Already emailed you, and thanked you, but I just thought I'd let all the browncoats here know how great these discs are! SHINY! Thanks, TRS
