| reply to ChiTang Re: Using the correct DVD or CD format
Chi,
Thank you for your comment about CD/DVD+R/+RW media being better overall than CD/DVD-R/RW media.
As for players, I'm not so concerned about them because I have 2 Panasonic home theater recorder/players. The Panasonic HS2 has a 40G Hard-Drive and the DMR-85HS has a 120G Hard-Drive. I use them to copy movies or Sci-Fi shows first to the hard-drive where I can edit out commercials or other unwanted images then burn the finished product to DVD.
The only issue I have with both Panasonic machines is that they both use the proprietary DVD-RAM rewritable media. Just spent about an hour on the Panasonic web site searching for a similar unit that will record to DVD -+ RW media but Panasonic doesn't make a machine that will record to DVD -+ media. Both of mine will play DVD -+ R/RW media but not record to it.
That's the reason I posted and asked about the difference between - and + media. I still don't have a specific answer other than + media is newer and that might be the only information I'll get.
Thank you for your time and help, Michael -- **** To have a Friend first you have to be one. **** |
