The Most Compatible DVD Format: DVD-R

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 20, 2003 @05:24AM from the mix-and-match-media dept.

jbridges writes "CDR-Info tested eight types of media (two examples of each media type) using five different recorders, then tested compatibility in twenty-seven standalone DVD players and twenty DVD-ROM drives. They determined that DVD-R is clearly the most compatible DVD recording format on the market. To assess the compatibility level of DVD Formats they created video content on a DVD writer using DVD-R/RW and +R/RW media. These discs were then played back in other DVD players and DVD-ROM drives -over a 1,000 combinations of drive, media and player were tested."

Most BestBuy and Compusa computers suck bigtime. Buy a computer without the WEAK intel AGP card that can't play any games! DVD + R works buy kind of concerned now about this report.
