[terryj]

I for one am stoked...However, it will mean i will have to upgrade
to a Pioneer A07 or better for +R technology...

What does that have to do with the A07? The A07 does not burn dual layer media.

What does that have to do with the A07? The A07 does not burn dual layer media.

Rumors are around that a simple firmware update will change that.

[Macnewbie]

That would be nice, but I don't see Pioneer giving out a firmware update to double the recording capacity when they can build a new model of burner to charge people for.

[FCPguy]

All of this sounds good
Total answer- Pioneer hasn't posted yet their stance, so it's all speculation, but it'd be nice to have firmware... but this brings up another topic. Blue laser? Aren't we supposed to be moving to blue laser soon? and if so, they could just give us the firmware, and charge us on the next gen (blue laser) That would make for many happy dvd authors out there, but what will they do? No one knows but them. Peace

[rotuts]

Any idea what dual layer media is expected to cost?

thanks rotut

[bilestyle]

if you think that u will be able to buy a burner and just upgrade your firmware to burn on dual layer media u gotta be the most asinine person on the planet.. lol and +R is terrible imo, compatability level is much lower.

I guess you havent heard about the firmware hack: NEC2500 to NEC2510

and +R is terrible imo, compatability level is much lower.

Only if burned on a mac... :P

[bilestyle]

i guess that i havent heard of this firmware hack.. has anyone used it and burned on dual layer media yet? is there bonafied proof of this? oh and about your stupid anti-mac comment, it doesnt make a difference, dvd+r burned on PC has the same issues

[tompika]

has anyone used it and burned on dual layer media yet? is there bonafied proof of this?

Yes.
Just browse this site and youll find a couple of threads on this one.

oh and about your stupid anti-mac comment, it doesnt make a difference, dvd+r burned on PC has the same issues

This "anti-mac comment" was a reply to your anti DVD+R comment.

Why are you complaining?

[bilestyle]

yeh but i have experience with +r having a lower compatibility rate, your mac bashing was just the typical retarded comments im sick of hearing from PC users, i doubt you ever use mac and really have any idea whatsoever whether they would have any influence on a +r being any more/less compatible

[rotuts]

sorry. my reply may have vaporized. I did do a search for dual layer, but on the results Ive found, no one really seems to have made a dual layer and no one seem to mention the cost of the media except somewonne said $50??

[tompika]

Of course I got nothing to do with Macs but I'm also sick of hearing these kinda retarded comments (your words!) from DVD-R users that obviously have no experience in testing DVD+R with different booktypes in order to avoid logical error in some players.

I've been burning DVD+R in my Ricoh5125 and DVD-R in my Pioneer106 and there is no compatibility difference between them, I can tell you that.

DVD+R is NOT terrible, you are the one who doesn't know how to burn them.

Don't be so sensitive
You post something retarded - You might get the same back

[bilestyle]

typical pc user.. brainless. my burner doesnt even burn +r you retard. i said that i have compatibility issues with +r, that my FRIENDS have burned... and YES from PC's and macs alike.

[tompika]

You had compatibility problems with some DVD+R's that your friend burned so you can say "DVD+R is terrible"

Excuse me, who is the narrow-minded here.

When did I tell you that Mac was terrible?

[bilestyle]

fyi imo means IN MY OPINION. i believe im entitled to my opinion as you are yours/ notice in the quote "IMO +r are terrible".

[SERBIAN]

DVD-R and DVD+R compatibility..

[bilestyle]

i've already read all of those comparisons-- i stick by my statement about +r being crap.

[DeleriumMDK]

I have yet to find a player that won't play any of my DVD-R or DVD+R discs. It all comes down to the player you use being crap. I know people with older players that only read one format or the other. All of my players and my families players (including on or two that are 3 years old) will play DVD+R and DVD-R, half of them will play RW discs too. Theres nothing wrong with any of the formats, all of them have uses for some people and none for others. I primarily use Ritek G04 DVD-R's but if I can find good RicohJPN +R's for a good price I won't hesitate to buy them.

Oh that's rich. I use both PCs and Macs, what does that make me?
