How-to bed-in brakes video

Here's a link to a video that does a great job of explaining the process of bedding in brakes. For most of you this info is old news, though I know there are many people on the forum with less experience.

The one take-away I did have was hearing that all of the pro teams will have their pads/rotors bedded in (burnished) before going to the track. I don't know any club racers that do this, though I'm sure you're out there! With the amount it costs for a set of GT3 pads/rotors, and the cost of running my car in general, I wonder if it would be worth it to do this.
