| Dante | Whats the difference between - and +? | March 16, 2004, 2:57 PM |
| iago | [quote author=l]ante link=board=2;threadid=5821;start=0#msg49739 date=1079449061] Whats the difference between - and +? [/quote] I don't know, but a +/- drive is best so you can buy the disks that are on sale at the time. | March 16, 2004, 4:16 PM |
| Dante | Yeah I was thinking about that, but -/+ are pretty expensive, are they not? +/- are a little over my price range, I'll stick with the cheaper DVD-RW. Yet I still want to know the difference, it might change my mind. | March 16, 2004, 4:20 PM |
| Adron | + is better for video editing + has generally more nice features particularly when it comes to background formatting, writing only part of the disc, appending/replacing things etc - is perfectly fine if you want to use it like a regular cd-r, burn once and use many From what I have seen, a +/- burner today costs less than a - only burner did a year ago. I see no reason to pick a - only burner. | March 16, 2004, 5:04 PM |
| iago | I've seen a +/- rw for cdn$129 (that would be like usd$90). I bought mine (External usb2.0, +/-, 4x) for $229. | March 16, 2004, 5:23 PM |
| Dante | I've looked around a bit, and all I can afford if a -. | March 16, 2004, 5:24 PM |

[/quote] You'll waste more disks with a -, so you perhaps should wait till you get the extra little bit for a +/-? And don't forget to allocate money for buying disks, too, I buy packages of 25 for $60, they're decent quality and they're a pretty blue color :) | March 16, 2004, 5:37 PM |
| tA-Kane | + is better than -. I beleive - is incompatible with the DVD-Video format (eg, DVD movie players), and is just all-around not that great. You can't read +DVDs with - drives, and vice-versa if I remember correctly (it's been about a year since I looked at DVD drives though, so I'm a little foggy). If it were me, I'd go +/-, simply because + is that much better. | March 17, 2004, 8:05 PM |
| Dante | Ok, I'll try to go with the +/-. I'll talk to my brother and mom. The DVD Burner is gonna be a easter present for the whole family, so I'll see if I can get a more expensive one (a +/-) | March 17, 2004, 8:30 PM |
| Adron | Easter present? Are you supposed to give easter presents? Kinda like Christmas? | March 17, 2004, 8:44 PM |
| SNiFFeR | The Easter Bunny brings me candy ;D. | March 17, 2004, 8:57 PM |

| iago | I get chocolate :( | March 17, 2004, 9:03 PM |
| Dante | I won't get chocolate, just because I'm getting the DVD burner :( | March 17, 2004, 9:14 PM |
