Actually..

I got married seven years ago. We could bring our own music to the ceremony, but it had to be on audio CD.

None of our modern computers have any optical drive, but we have an USB DVD burner. We just couldn't get any modern system to complete a burn, it just kept failing halfway through.

After many hours I installed OS X on my MorphOS PowerBook G4 from 2005 to use the built-in drive and burn through iTunes.

It used to be a cakewalk. Now not so much.

    You probably had a faulty DVD burner then. I did it within the last year, using my modern computer and a cheap external drive.
