pull the cookies out of the oven and dont let them cool down, but immediately start pumping ice cream into them like a madman and then stick them all in the freezer!that should do the trick...oh and about muffins and yogurt....eww!
actually, DVD-Rs will work in most dvd players. DVD+Rs are made for video.you should be fine, especially if it is just for home videos or very small production.that is a nice looking dvd burner! i have a HP dvd740e, and i havent had much trouble with it, but it is just the simplest one i could buy at the time...
