Best Medium to burn DVD Movies On?
 

Ok got the dvd burner hooked up and its running fine...just test copied lord of the rings(wanted to did a big long movie to test out the compression quality loss)...did it on a dvd+rw that came free with the burner and it worked great...image quality was excellent

My question to you now is what media do you find works best for movies

dvd+r
dvd-r
dvd+rw
dvd-rw

Im figuring either + or - r since rw is so expensive

i use DVD+r works fine with me. I never really "tested" others out.

I've only used DVD-R and it was good.

isnt dvd r + the most common?

DVD-R is the only one I have

The whole DVD scene is quite confusing. I'm sticking to CD-R/CR-RW for the time being. annoy:

Whats the diff between + -?

The one on the left has a vertical line. oOo:


I have no idea to be honest.

Not a clue. It has to do with formatting... but I don't know the specific differences.

I just bought the cheapest.

So what will an xbox play + 0r -. my + play in most dvd players. but i dont think they will in a ps2 not 100% sure though.

From what ive heard when i worked at A'n'V store, the only difference is that some writers cant handle +, and vice versa.

only use negative -. Never use positive dvd r's. positive is out dated and will most liekly in the next 2 years be discontinued. AS most likely that blue laser dvd's will be avialible within the next few years and with them will come mpeg 4 dvd players, and dvd's capable of 27 gigs per side which meanns a fantastic quality video etc. AVOID postivie dvd r + media at all costs. as for brands avoid pine - they at one point had a 75 % succesful disk ratio. go with maxell, sony, any name brand since most build great disks. cheers beer:
