dgrundtisch Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 do you have to buy differnt discs for dvd-rw and dvd+rw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah, you will need +R media for the DVD+R and -R for DVD-R. Some drives such as Sony will do both formats. Both are widely available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 the only drive that i have heard of that will do both is the sony dru 500a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 the main reason i haven't bought one yet is speed. the fastest i've seen is 4x. a regular cd takes forever to burn at 4x now you want to burn more then 6 times the same amount of info?

So as you can see although the "speed" number is the same, you are actually transferring quite a bit more data. Actually about 9 times as much per second.
