myidisbb Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 okay i have an external plextor px 708uf. (doesnt do dl nor lightscribe) pretty nice. dvd +r is 8x and -r is 4x. i do a lot of meida files burning so i use dvd -r. a -r at 4x takes a bit of time plus verifying it afterwards. (nero version 6)i gotten from bestbuy store (usa mega store) fujilim 16 x 100 pack for $24.99. pretty good deal from what i usually do. i just want to use that 16 x dvd disk to its fullest. that meaning burn faster.what is a nice good external dvd burner thats 16x?

Zeus_Hunt Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I have heard somewhere that +R is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myidisbb Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 hey I haven't gotten any coasters on a 100 spindle burning +R, and I've always wondered why people use -R instead.....anybody knowmost dvd players connected to a tv (not in or with comptuers) allows dvd -r or dvd video or iso image of a dvd. you really dont see dvd +r for that and there are those that alow went dvd ram way. so i also put my mpeg, wmv and avi and all those other media video files on dvd-r for because. (i believe -r has little more space compare to +r) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 whatever you buy DONT-DO NOT! buy noisy plastiky philips DVD-+RW... agree with LG recomendation...+ is better for known reason being as 90% of Home DVD players recognize them (apart from few PIONEER and some other). I have had to learn the hard way- bought a spindle of 50 -£35.00~50$ and neither of mine dvd players did not recognized :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
