But it's a heck of a lot more convenient to create a bunch of
duplicate CDs/DVDs with "Christmas 2005" written in Magic Marker and
pass them out to family/friends. Done properly, such a DVD can be
used inside a plain old DVD player, to be viewed by groups of
people, or the technically challenged.
As for "freeing up ... hard disk", I agree, that's the *worst*
reason for doing this. Unless OP is poor and lives in the 3rd
world. But then, does he have a DVD burner, and do his family/
friends have DVD players?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
