In Reply to: agreed about the $$$ of buying all that Who (and our potential resolution).... posted by suburbanDK on November 17, 2004 at 09:21:43:
Why DVD+R and not DVD? Because DVD (which is actually DVD-ROM) is not a format that a consumer has ready access to. When you record on a recordable DVD, it's either DVD+R or DVD-R (and the +/- RW variations of each). I have a cheap stand-alone recorder from Wal-Mart (the ilo for $149, no computer required and it even has a firewire/1394 port for digital camcorder input) that records in the DVD+R format on single-layer DVDs.As for dual-layer recordable DVDs, the best I've seen are available at $8 each. I picked up 50 single-layer DVD+R discs at Best Buy last weekend for $20: that's 40 cents per disc. Big difference, don't you think? Besides, there are currently no stand-alone dual-layer DVD recorders. Even Sony's upcoming stand-alone ($300) dual-layer recorder needs to be hooked up to a computer to burn dual-layer discs -- what a load of crap!
