this has convinced me! I'm holding off buying a DVDburner till they either bring out bluray or dvd9 (or they give them away with 50 packs)
Besides all this tho has anybody thought that the new dvd format may be flash storage, as more and more dvd players are coming with builtin flash readers and compactflash can already go to 4gb.

By the time dual layer hits the market CDR is still here which is really funny

Its because DVD is not as suitable for data store as CDRs are. CD-Rs are cheap and serve the purpose. How many files do you really have that are over 650mb? I'd much rather burn a CD-RW to transfer a couple of files than use a DVDRW to do it. The only major use for DVD is games and movies.

My Apex AD700 plays DVD RW (+ and -) so except for a couple of tests my backups are mostly on DVD +RW based on availability and price. If my Apex goes down the tubes then I will look for a compatible replacement that plays rewritable discs or simply transfer to a new medium and use the erased discs for data (or resell the blanks). Data backups are simple because I have had no trouble transferring either format to any computer with a modern DVD-rom. The cost is very reasonable when you consider that blank DVD RW media is about 10 to 15% of my original DVD investment.

When things change again (dvd9 etc..) and I'm ready to move up, I will just repeat the process and selloff the DVD RW media when it's cost effective for me to do so. While I'm not on the cutting edge of new gadgets, there are always others who lag far behind and are happy to get what for them is also a good deal.
Format wars (not flame wars) are good for the consumer because it tends to drive the price down. Counting the mail in rebates, I got my dual writer for about the same price as a single format drive. Recently FutureShop (Best Buy) sold a triple format drive which with rebates came very close to the price I paid.
Keep up the competition you wholesalers and retailers! -

I'm not talking about backuping your hard drive or programs. I am talking about every day use. On the home level, when you want to transfer some files or give some files to your friends, do you want to waste time erasing and burning a DVDR/W? I'd much rather use a CDR/W. On a business level, for presentations, sample software, etc, its much more convient and economical for them to use a CDR/W instead of DVDR/W. Though the cost per megabyte is about the same for CDR and DVDR, most of these items are one time use or need distributed to more than one person. Its very rare that these files need more than 650mbs.
