I am planning on buying a DVD writer but i am unsure what is the best format to buy. What is the difference between,
DVD-R and DVD-RW
OR
DVD+R and DVD+RW
And also DVD RAM
What is the best format for using in Stand alone dvd player.
 
There are DVD+-R/RW combo drives so you can run both. DVD-RAM is right out. DVD-R is said to be the most compatible followed by DVD+RW.
 
Zedric,
Can you tell me the difference between them all.
 
There are some New Sony DVD Writer drives that support all of the formats
 
You may wish to visit http://www.dvdwriters.co.uk/ and http://www.dvdplusrw.org/ .

Also, the DVD writer to buy at the moment is Sony's DRU500A which is sold out everywhere right now...personally I'm waiting for prices to drop after the new year.

You can read a review of this unit here.

I'm just learning about this topic myself and would appreciate more useful links. Also, has anyone found a cheap and reliable source of DVD media?
 
thanks for the link freightgod, same, I am hopin for them to reduce in price before I get one.

Yup that Sony is THE ONE to get at the mo, its the only one that supports everything.
 
Can anyone tell me the best way to re encode a dvd9 to dvdr. i have tried various guides but none of them have work correctly for me.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
