Nothing on the net (whether it be on free sites or pay sites) is online at "DVD quality" (i.e. a bit rate of at least 4 megabits)....so for anything you can find on the net...it is pointless to burn it to a dvd, cos it is not dvd quality. Everything on free sites or paysites are compressed renderings at low quality (from 300k and maybe some you can find at 1 megabit) and you do not need a DVD burner to archive those clips...they can just be burned to a CDR using a CD burner instead.

DVD burners are not really useful for saving stuff off the internet...cos nothing being streamed on the internet is at DVD quality...all you need is a CD burner and usr CDR disks instead.

The best uses for your DVD burner are...to archive media that you create locally...i.e. copying from your camcorder or saving clips directly from your tv or satellite etc.

You can always use a DVD disk as a data storage disk...and just copy clips to it from any free sites or member sites that allow you to do that....but none of those clips will be dvd quality. The average internet clip is at 300k...and DVD quality clips are at 4 megabits and higher...i.e. a 10 times greater bit rate...so the average internet clip is only about 10% of dvd quality....

...so using a DVD burner to make clips from the internet...is like using an M1 Abrahms tank to kill a mosquito....cos you can just use a CD burner to download and store internet clips to CDR disks instead.
