Why did the HP200i record a dvd-r disk?

How come i was able to record a film on a dvd-r disk to a blank dvd-r disk when the HP200i is only supposed to record dvd+r disks.?_X_X_X_X_X_[small]Dave o'connor[/small]

 

So basically you copied a copied DVD movie to a DVD-r ????

I am interrested ! I have a HP 200i too.
What brand DVD-r do you have and what firmware ?

Are you sure about this ? I guess you are as suprised as I am to hear so.

 

This is basically what happened,
I got a dvd-r disc with a movie on it from a friend of mine.I was able to use a hp pc with a Hpdvd200i preinstalled. I bought a blank TDK dvd-r disk and copyed the original using a program called RECORD NOW. The original copied DVD-R disk had no brand on it but a white blank label. So can i use this drive to copy futher dvd-r disks or is something wrong here.
Thanks

 

I am interested too in both firmware version and media brand and type.

Please let us know.

 

I will test this at home !

It is interesting because the DVD-r are much cheaper than the DVD+r.
If this is true we have kind of a Sony Dru writer that writes + and - !!!

How the .... is this possible, I'll be back with the testresults !

 

yea, that is sweet if it works consistently..
let me know...
peace
