dvdr vs dvdrw

[RobCur]

the rw cannot be written more then once because of scratches after burned once so it is just as useful as r and not very economical sound wise.
usually much slower then r as well say 2-4x vs 8-16x
remind me never to buy rw ever again, better to have 4 dvd-r then 1 dvdrw

Or to keep the sandpaper and dremel away from your discs.

RWs are great for data backups...not sure what the heck you are doing to yours...

You can buy 25 DVD+RW's for $10 when they are onsale. That is the same price as DVD+R's.


PS: I recommend storing the DVD+RW in a jewel case or DVD case.

I have 1x dvd-rw's I bought for less then dollar a disk and some of them I have erased and rewrote over now half a dozen time and they still work in my DVD players....

I use the DVD+RW 4x models for my data backup and they can be written to after data is already one (adding) with reauthoring...+R/+RW format is a tad faster in burnig as it does not have a lead in and lead out....

I never use DVD-Rs period for the fact most things for me are not set in stone and I may want to erase them and reuse them...economical is RW's since I pay less then 2x as much then R's alone..I I erase once and reuse I am already coming out ahead....
