Gameshow host.
I also live in the uk.
I should imagine that just about 100% of the people on this forum have a CD burner in their pc, and I would estimate that less than 5% of people have a DVD burner. I know no-one with a DVD burner, but everyone I know with a pc has a CD burner.
Which format do you go for DVD-r DVD-rw or DVD+r DVD+rw, as most DVD players will play one or the other but not both. CDr's are about 40 pence whereas recordable DVDs range from £6 to £15 (depending on format).
If you are recording from TV why bother with DVD when VCD or SVCD is of adequate quality, the only plus I can see is extra capacity.
DVD's at the moment can only record single sided single layer (4.7GB) so exact duplicates of most DVD's cannot be made, as most are dual layer.
As I stated before I live in the UK and VCD is a recognised format (at least in my circle of friends and colleagues) although not as an original format but as a format for recording home video or tv shows.
And mirror image does have a point, I would like a merc, but unfortunately I am going to have to stick with my 10 year old ford orion, at least for the foreseeable future.
