DVD+RW Burning

[jfmartins]

Does anyone has a dvd+rw pc burner out there?
Have you ever attempted to backup a dvd movie you have at home?Does the dvd+rw palys back ok in the stand alone dvd player or in your dvd-rom?
Could apreciate some reply´s on this becuse i´m thinking on buying the new HPdvd100i and thinking if it can manages the job of backing up my current dvd movies in one single dvd or if i have to stick with xvcd or svcd for now...
Fell free to email privatly

DVD+RW does only support single layers(4.7GB) DVDs and today are many DVD Movies on dual layers DVDs(9.4GB) so to be able to fit the movie on one DVD you either have to cut something out, reencode the movie(some quality loss) or use 2 dvd+rws.

Dual layer DVD+RW are available now? Wow...I'm beginning to side with the DVD+RW format each and every day.

No. "dual-sided" media. You'd need to flip the disc.

Is the HP DVD burner available anywhere?
They said that it would be out 1st week of
September. It's almost Oct and I still could not
find one.

Those sacks of shit lyed about the release date. NObody has one. This lets Pioneer to continue its head start in the market. DO YOU guys thing they'll ever release dual layered dvd+R? Screw this double sided BS. Dual layer or singleh, non of this flipping.

Mother of ten bastards. Thanks for the info guys. 12$ huh? BAH etailor price will be like 8$ very soon.

What is the difference in DVD-Rs 'General Write' and 'Authoring Use'? Both can be used in a stand alone player?
