+ or -?

DVD+R/RW

Read some of the FAQs and comparasions. I was considering a -R drive before, but now I'm leaning towards the +R standard. Drives and media are cheaper to boot.

- M4H

No offense but I don't think the homepage of the "+" format is exactly the best place to get a straight answer on the "+/-" format fight going on.

Mind explaining how you copy Laserdisk to DVD? Do you have a TV capture card?

 

[Heisenberg]

Sweet. When my current burner dies I'm going to replace it with a DVD burner.

 

[HiTek21]

I want to get the Liteon +-RW Burner since I have no idea which media is better, so why not have both.

 

[notfred]

I didn't do the copying of the laserdisc. I jsut burnt the DVD image someone else created.

His "friend" created the image which he "borrowed" and then burnt to a DVD.

I like my dvd-r burner. Pioneer dvr-a05... works pretty damn good. I want the star wars dvd set... guess I will have to burn it somehow.

 

[RichieZ]

torrent link?

Yes they do rock, on to my second one: Sony DRU-510A, newest +/- dual drive

 

[rockyct]

I just bought a +R/RW drive a few weeks ago. The -R media is cheaper and a little more compatible with DVD players. However, the market seems to be going in the +R direction, although both formats will probably be around for a while. The drive ended up being around $100, so I got a good deal even if the +R format dies in a couple years.

 

[Muadib]

Downloading now, although at the current rate of 10kb/s it's gonna take a while.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Backed up Jungle Book 2 & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yesterday

The external burn engine (using Nero doesn't work well) is screwing up, went with the built in drivers in DVD X Copy & it worked fine, just a little slower...

 

[arod]

For all the masses +R media is a hell of a lot more expensive that -R.... +R media runs about $1.45 for a +R disc and -R runs $.75..... BTW that starwars sel is quite old

 

[TwinkleToes77]

We just got the sony +-rw burner... i agree.. it rocks!

Why is everyone so cheap when it comes to this kind of stuff? The movie on DVD is probably about $14 in stores. Not only that, but DVD burners can burn about 5GB worth of data, right? $1.45 for 5GB of data is cheaper than a CD-R. What's the big deal?

 

[jfall]

I have been considering getting one for a while now, but I still don't think that they are worth the money yet. Where I live the media is priced pretty high.. $5-$10 Canadian per disc. I am waiting for faster burners / cheaper media to come out before I buy one

Correct me if I am wrong?

Read some of the FAQs and comparasions. I was considering a -R drive before, but now I'm leaning towards the +R standard. Drives and media are cheaper to boot.

Whoa, has this been a new development? Because for the last couple of years, -R media has always been much cheaper.

Around here the - drives are still usually significantly cheaper. Media is getting pretty close now though.
