More than one kind of DVD??

[red ryder]

hey i'm considering buying that $169 CenDyne internal dvd burner. i thought i heard someone say something about there being sum type of "DVD-1" and "DVD-2" i dunno if they're called that but theres 2 diff types of dvds and sum newer ones are different and some dvd burners can only burn one of the kinds, is this true, or will that dvd burner burn every dvd that will probly ever come out? also i have a samsung D-M301 dvd player and was wondeirng if anyone has played burnt dvds on them. also is it real hard to install a dvd burner? (i'm thinking about just replacing it with my cd-r/rw druive cuz the dvd burner also has cd-r/rw) i appreciate all comments. thanx.

There is DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W

You can find the differences between the two on the DVDR section of this site.

I know they have DVD-RAM Type 1 and DVD-RAM Type 2


Cendyne writes to DVD-RW


I recomind a Sony DRU500a, which writes to +R/W and -R/W
