Way back in the early 2000s before DVD burners were cheap my buddy downloaded what appeared to be a handicam rip of the Fellowship Of The Ring off limewire (or kazaa or whatever was popular at the time) and burned it on 7-8 or 8 CD-Rs which we could watch on his DVD player in the living room. The quality was poor but watchable, but I think this had more to do with the clandestine source than the medium. He had above average computer literacy but probably just used a common program in a way I've never used before to do this. DVD burners became cheaper later and I never saw or thought much about this stunt again.
