Hi there, I got a new Sony DVD Burner installed on my machine, bundled with Nero 6.6 & Roxio 8 Home Suite. 1. Which is better a better DVD burning software Nero or Roxio? 2. Difference between R & RW I can make out so about Double layer, is double layer & dual layer the same thing? 3. What’s the difference between DVD+R & DVD-R & like wise DVD+RW & DVD-RW, In your personal experience, which is a better media *+* OR *–*, in case of either *R* or *RW*? 4. At what speeds should the DVDRs (+ -) & DVDRWs (+ -) be burnt for a good output. 5. Would you care to give yr comments on the following: "Sony’s new DVD burner incorporates new 8.5GB DVD-R Dual Layer, DVD+R double layer burning and dual format 4.7GB DVD burning. Double/Dual Layer discs let you store up to 8.5GB on a single DVD+R Double Layer or DVD-R Dual Layer disc, giving you plenty of room for more video and audio entertainment, digital photo archives, and information storage. DVD+R burning speed is a blazing 16X max, burning a full DVD in approximately 6 minutes. Double Layer and Dual Layer Recording speed is 4X max. DVD+RW speeds are 8X max for DVD+RW and 6X max for DVD-RW respectively. Ultra fast 48X max CD-R burning means you no longer need a separate CD Burner for good performance. What hasn’t changed is the DRU-810A comes bundled with an unbeatable Nero 6.6 software suite and also includes a black front panel to match black colored PCs.” 6. Are the following correct? a. -R better in versatility? b. R more stable than RW? c. Burn speed slightly lower but not lowest for a media? d. Dual layer & single layer burning processes are the same OR some change is needed while burning a DL? 8. Stand alone DVD players work better with *- R* than *+ R*, can they play *+/- RWs* too OR standalone players don’t support RWs? 9. What are a few good soft wares to burn a movie to a DL DVD, should the media be +/- R or +/- RW? 10. What soft wares support a burnt movie that would play BOTH on a DVD-ROM optical drive & stand alone DVD player? 11. Should I look for the latest firmware updates for my Sony Burner? 12. Regarding a Movie DVD can it be burnt directly or copied first to hard drive? 13. What is reasonable good media in your view & experience for both +-R, +-RW? Hoping to hear from you. Regards. Ivanov Yezinki.
