Re: OT - DVD writers

checkout www.vcdhelper.com and www.cdrinfo.com for lots of info.

everything I've ever read says that dvd-r is the most compatable format. I've NEVER seen anyone say the +r was more compatible.

-r disks are pretty cheap now depending what you buy.

The pioneer a04 is now around =A3300, and that's without looking to hard.
I can't see one plus to +R/RW bar the fact they write slightly faster. But<= BR> if it writes disks you can't read back I don't see it as advantage.

4 speed drives will arrive this year, as the components to drive them are appearing. That will bring down whole disk writing to 15mins.
