You know, technology changes …
And yet STILL … ?
Still things stay the same.
I ’ve possibly mentioned before now that I’m happy to record stuff that’s on TV: and keep hold of those recording until such time as I’m able to get a suitable DVD box set.
And … ?
Well, up until a few years ago, I’d quite happily record those shows to a blank DVD: and then use
HandBrake to transcode the results into something I could watch later: on whatever device I happened to favour.
There’s a FEW settings, before you ask.
At ANY rate, it’s still something I tend to do.
Even thought, these days, the ‘recording’ is on a USB flash memory stick.
I’m still using
HandBrake: possibly the most versatile thing of it’s kind doing the rounds.

At ANY rate, you’re going to ask me, aren’t you … ?
Why on EARTH have I mentioned
HandBrake … ?
Well, it’s my default ripper: for when I’m recording stuff from TV, to either watch later.
Or, at least, until I can get a version on DVD or from an OnDemand service, like iTunes.
The programme in question, of course, was today’s episode of Dr Who: the Mark Gatiss penned, Robot of Sherwood.
I think I can safely say there were no scenes of Daleks getting blown up by Ninja Turtles.
I think I’ll have a disappointed nephew …
