Music CD-R / Data CD-R any difference ?

[tvtuna]

Which of the two is better for Video CD's - or is this a marketing gimmick ?

I'm still looking for the magic CD-R or CD-RW that will play in my relatives standalone DVD players. What works in one doesn't work in another. Everything plays in my $79.00 Apex.

there's no magic solution... cd-rw seems to be more compatible, i usually use gigastorage i've had good result, not perfect though

on the question in the title i read in a pc mag
that music cdr where created as a first step to help stopn music bootleging
i dont remember the science behind it

its worked every time
and my dvd player a sony dvp

As i understand it, audio CDRs are subject to an extra tax which is meant to compensate the music industry for loss of profits through CD copying.

Having said that, the tax is not charged on audio CDRs here in the UK.
