In Reply to: Format war - excuse me but I am just a beginner, Sirs posted by beppe61 on July 28, 2005 at 01:52:31:
Hi beppe61,Welcome to the Asylum.
\\\1) which of the two (-RW or +RW) format is better?/// I知 not convinced it makes much difference.
With the introduction of multi-read drives it is certainly becoming LESS problematic.\\\2) is the internal hard disk option fundamental?/// The short answer is no, it is not fundamental. However, I use a hard-drive DVD recorder and it is so much more convenient and versatile than just a DVD disc recorder.
The new model DVD recorders will write and read BOTH +/- DVD-R/RW disc types.
I personally would not buy a DVD recorder without a hard drive. I will be buying a second DVD hard-drive recorder shortly.
Good luck

Dear Mr. Sox,thank you very much indeed for your kind and very valuable reply, and for the warm welcome to this forum.

If I understand well there is no intrinsic superiority of one format over the other one. Do I understand well?

So the option is very useful. I see. Unfortunately the price difference is substantial here (let's say 200 euro to 500 euro with just a 80GB HD difference. I personally think is a little too much, considering the current prices of computer HDs).
> The new model DVD recorders will write and read BOTH +/- DVD-R/RW disc types.
Yes, but I would like to take profit of some discounts on older one format only models.
> I personally would not buy a DVD recorder without a hard drive. I will be buying a second DVD hard-drive recorder shortly.
Very clear point of view. That was indeed the user opinion I was looking for. Thank you very much indeed again. Very useful reply.
Good luck

> If I understand well there is no intrinsic superiority of one format over the other one. Do I understand well?DVD+RW is a little more resistant to problems while burning, and has a couple other nice features that DVD-RW doesn't have.
DVD-RW, being an older technology, is playable in more home DVD drives. Only the most recent standalone DVD players can read DVD+R media.
Of course, if you're buying a standalone DVD recorder, and you don't care about sharing your DVD's, DVD+R is fine.
/*Music is subjective. Sound is not.*/
Stand-alone DVD recorders don't have this option, but many computer DVD writers can change the book-type/bit-setting (only available for the +R format) so that the +R burned disc is recorded as a -ROM disc (which all stand-alone DVD players "see" as a regular movie DVD).Because of this option (the DVD-ROM feature of +R), the compatibility issue actually favors the +R format due to the fact that the majority of +R stand-alone players won't play -R at all.
.
Dear Sir,thank you very much. I am recovering very valuable informations from experts like you to make a wise buy.
Thank you to all.
You are great and very kind.Kind regards,
beppe61
