Thanks for the article which supports what I have been saying. You might notice that the only exception to this might be when you are doing multi-sessions, not normal Movie burns.
with older players ya DVD+R, with newer DVD-R wins **** bitsetting on newer players has a negligable effect****
You forgot the whole paragraph. Out of the box means BEFORE DVD+R Media! Jan Willem goes on to explain why the newer format DVD+R is the MOST compatible, now that it is available, whether on older or newer DVD Players.
This thread has turned into a can't reason, can't win arguement and has probably used up it's usefulness this cat's taking his queens and strutting home ... •meow• ~edited to remove signature~
heh I smiled at that, priceless. All we can go on is our own personal experiences, catering for all players (to include older) I've found if I booktype DVD+R then it has the best results. For new DVD players i have the best compatability results with DVD-R. Now i'll catch the cab home with Catfreak.
Catfreak,(Senior Member): Without any doubt, DVD+R is far superior to DVD-R ... if you wanna know why, click on the link in my sig and read up 9mmruger1,(AfterDawn Addict): I agree, DVD+R booktyped to DVD-ROM is the most playable in all players. Saugmon,(AfterDawn Addict): agree with the rest of the AD studs: Definitely plus format,booktyped to dvd-rom! alkohol,(AfterDawn Addict): I agree, I couldn't have said it any better. ScubaBud,(Senior Member): Jan Willem goes on to explain why the newer format DVD+R is the MOST compatible, now that it is available, whether on older or newer DVD Players. To sum up… The definition of insanity is saying the same thing over and over but expecting a different result… so sorry ashj but the cab is full! Catfreak, 9mmruger1, Saugmon, alkohol and myself are all in it, "together"!
@scubabud, add ME to the list of dvd+r supporters too~ i too am a dvd+r person that booktypes to dvd-rom~ i also have that snazzy "afterdawn addict" after my name too~ dvd-rom, no matter HOW you obtain it, IS the most compatible format... but, one point for the dvd-r team though, i have realized that on certain Toshiba stand alones (the one my wife's family uses and my parent's too) are VERY picky about my YUDEN000T02/MCC003/MCC004s booktyped to dvd-rom, they (the Toshiba players) will NOT play them; but play Taiyo Yuden dvd-r format: TYG01/TYG02/TYG03 without a hitch~ very RARE case i admit, but backups i make for my IMMEDIATE family, i use dvd-r format~ docTY~
My son's Toshiba likes the dark dyes like Ritek & Ricohjpn the most and has no problem with DVD-Rom booktyped +R discs ... It is really picky with the Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and MIT Sony discs, (you know, the light metallic color) be they +R or -R hey Doc, like my sig of the week?
i like it catfreak, i like it a lot~ i like dancing sigs, they're fun to look at, i've been staring at ur banana with the sign dancing for like 2 min. straight now~ LOL docTY~
So Doc you are also for DVD-ROM along with Catfreak but it's my understanding that Catfreak is saying: "Toshiba Players are to [bold]DYE[/bold]for! <G> Sorry, but my coffee didn't kick in yet this morning but my bad jokes did! <G>
the definition of insanity is not believing what you see with your own eyes, but what someone tells you to believe. If it works for you, stick with it, and I'll stick with what gives me the best results. There are lots of us who have burned thousands of discs in each format mines are mostly -R and I've had no issues with them DVD or Ps2 wise.
ashj, i think that most of us here have nothing against you in terms of WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU~ i too have thousands of dvd-r burns, i started using dvd-r format when i first began my dvd backups and thousands later, i still use them~ i think what everyone is trying to clarify on is that dvd-rom IS THE MOST COMPATIBLE FORMAT, from a scientific point of view, not so much that dvd-r work BETTER for YOUR PS2 and standalones, nobody is arguing that point... nobody can argue with you as to what works best for YOU, we're just stating FACTS and personal preferences here...jokes aside, we mess with each other with a bit of humor now and then..it's all in good fun~ may you have continued success with the dvd-r format, i know i haven't stopped yet...as i stated in my reply above, i ONLY USE dvd-r for my IMMEDIATE family, their Toshiba players LOVES TY dvd-r discs, MUCH MORE than any dvd+r disc booktyped to dvd-rom ~ docTY~
Yes, your all a good bunch of guys, and I have fun posting here. Honest heh. My last 400+ burns of booktyped DVD+R (DVD-ROM) compared to DVD-R in modern players (and bear in mind I burn alot for friends/family etc) is; DVD-R failed to play .......... Nil (Verbat im ,TY,maxell) DVD+R (booktyped DVD-ROM) ............ 3 (Verbatim,TY,Maxell) each disc is scanned in Nero for quality (over 95) prior to dipatch. Booktyping DVD+R makes the player read it as a DVD-ROM as we all know, even though it isn't a true DVD-ROM. With older players I'd agree, DVD+R booktyped (some older player won't read it any other way), but I've had on the rare occassion those disc's not playing on modern players (Sony). So in my exp' I go for DVD-R for compatibilty and remain unconvinced about DVD+R (booktype)being best. happy burning guys ^ ^
Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread,Ihave learnt a lot not just about DVD, but also the humour and fashing logos etc
