Donations Welcomed

Since I am creating DVDs completely free of charge, I am not making any money on this service. I do accept donations, though. If you enjoyed your discs, then I encourage you to donate to Hentschel Pictures. All donations will be used to fund future fansub DVD projects. Here is a short list of what I will use donations for:

 

Offset losses - Yes I do incur losses on some orders. It is inevitable. Since I refund any overpayments, that leaves donations to keep me out of the red.

Send DVDs to fansubbers - I purchase blank discs and send them to the group that created the original fansub. This is my gift to them in thanks for all their hard work.

Donate to fansubbers - I give a portion of all donations to the group that did the original fansub.

Purchase new software/hardware - see list (in order of desirability)

16x DVD burner (N/A) - **DONE** Thank you all for your generous donations! On 11/23/04, I purchased a new NEC ND-3500A DVD writer from NewEgg. It is happily buzzing away in my computer now, saving you money, and saving me time. This is a huge improvement over the 2.4x speed burner I had before.

Pinnacle Studio 9 (N/A) - **DONE** Thank you for all your generous donations! I purchased the Studio 9 Plus upgrade directly from Pinnacle Systems, and I am having a lot of fun playing with the new features and flexibility it offers.

Paint Shop Pro ($84) - Has some very cool tools that I would like to play with.

Nero 6 (N/A) - **DONE** I actually found a way to get this one for free. Ask me how.

New CPU ($120) - I currently use an Athlon XP 1700+. It takes about 8 hours to compile a DVD. Then I check for errors, fix any problems I find, compile again... You get the picture. I can get a much faster CPU for under $100.
