DVD RW types ?

[corydoras]

OK, I lied. (Not really )

 

Which bit is not true?

The bit that says that you need to use packet writing software to use RW disks. I always use Nero to write mine, just like they were -R or +R disks. RW disks are not meant to be used as long term storage, but are useful for checking your latest and greatest DVD composition on a normal DVD player before you commit to something more permanent. As I have posted in the past, for long term storage it would be better to use DVD-RAM as this is a magneto-optical technology which is much more reliable. Even better do what I did and by an old DLT drive off ebay.

Hi all

 

i always use nero with -R if your backing up any of your dvd`s etc and only really use RW for transfering data from one pc to another or use RW for checking if the finished data works and that way your not wasting a good-R.

 

+R i don`t use but they are supposed to have a better max amount of mgs but some normal players won`t see them(home dvd player etc)

 

in my opinion -R is the best all round if your backing up pictures,but for dvd content they can be prone to some failure rate(my opinon)

 

dual layer isn`t worth the money unless i guess its pictures your backing up etc but at around 10-15 pound a disc`its not worth it.

 

maxell`s are my fav.

 

cdcopy world could give more insight(if its still called that)_
