DVD+/-RW

Posted by

Why, O why is there DVD-RW and DVD+RW? Please, someone tell me: it makes no sense at all to have two standards that are exactly the same (as far as I can see) and yet are incompatible with each other (in that a DVD+RW drive can't write to DVD-RW discs)

I'm just annoyed because I just paid AU $65 to buy 50 DVD-R discs, only to get home and find that my DVD burner is a DVD+RW drive. I could have sworn it was DVD-RW, but I guess I was wrong (I even asked a mate of mine who's got the same laptop as me what kind the burner is, and he said DVD-RW as well). Now I got $65 worth of coasters, and I still haven't burnt the videos I wanted to burn!

Well, thank goodness NeroVision Express lets you save your DVD layout, so at least I can do that, buy some DVD+R discs and burn them tomorrow. *sigh*
