I got an interesting call on the DVD business line. The guy sounded very gruff, loud and almost like he was speaking with a mask over his face. The conversation went like this:

"Big Picture DVD, can I help you?"
"Can you put 240 minutes of video on one disc?"
"Yes, but the quality goes down if you have more than 120 minutes."
"It's on a memory card."
"Hmmm, in that case the quality might not be good to begin with, you might want to put it on two discs."
"I need hundreds of copies. One disc is fine."
"OK"
"Do you watch the videos when you copy them?"
"Yes, not the whole thing, but I check it to make sure it copied correctly."
"Well you can't watch this one. You might see something you don't want to see."
"I don't know if I'll be able to help you with this. What is the video of?"
"It's from a security camera. One of those tiny ones you hide in the ceiling."
"For security at your house?"
"No, at a friend's house. I mean, for my own security."
"Um, you might want to find another company to help you."
"Just do it without watching."
"No thanks, bye."
