If I do really make a DVD of one of my restore series, I was curious which restore you guys consider my best and most comprehensive.

Discuss and VOTE!

Thanks!

Wow, a DVD can only hold 240 minutes. This is gonna be pricey.

Have you considered using one of Amazon's programs and doing the self publishing on demand thing through them?

Why not go in order of restoration? That would be an idea.

I voted pacman just due to the available volume of machines out in the public...

I think you would want to go for the more popular titles...

realistically how many Journey restorations are going on? what I would recommend is doing a DVD based on the model type... or manufacture to be more specific

like do a " Bally DVD " this covers the MCR... Journey, Tron, Tapper ect... you have some of the machines to edit into the DVD the unique items that each machine will have like CPO ect... this will make the DVD more useful as its not one machine specific... ( you could even hookup with other of your local friends that might have the games you don't have in the basement for the machine coverage )

you can do the same with your Nintendo lineup... or Atari's ect...

I also agree on mastering your own DVD or I would further... step up to  Blu-ray... burners are cheap now, so is the media... Blu-ray will avoid your video time limitations...

I voted for Pac Man because I liked those vids and I think that was John's first restore, correct?
