[QUOTE="Khris, post: 84895, member: 13511"] Since you obviously COMPLETELY missed the point, I'll make it simple for you. The average Joe consumer wants something that works out of the box and will probably pay to have all the additional little features to make their life easier (which is fine). They won't want to go through all the steps necessary to burn a DVD themselves. More demanding users will come to expect things like DVD burning to be included, not be an add-on which requires an additional purchase. Either that, or they'll resort to doing it themselves (which I've been doing). The "New Opportunity" for MP (especially once the new TV engine is going) is to step into the spotlight and shine, even more so than it already does. It's a chance to gain a larger userbase and potentially bring future developers on-board. There's a lot of people who are watching the progress of MP to see where it goes. Once the features that people are looking are implemented, they'll switch. If the new TV engine works as good as it sounds, I'll be dropping BTV like a hot potato because I've grown very frustrated with the company and their tactics. Until now (in my opinion) the TV module of MP can't come close to the functionality of BTV. It's not even a contest. I will give MP the advantage in the Front End department however as Beyond Media is a very sad piece of work in it's present state. Long story short, I was giving MP a compliment. Unfortunately some people seem to have taken it the wrong way. [/QUOTE]
