The Most Compatible DVD Format: DVD-R

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."

It's great somebody finally did this. I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort, but "real life"-tests are the only reliable way to find out how players handle the different formats.

Also, what happens when RFID tags turn us all into zombie slaves of the government? Will we have to announce that "cd dash arr double you are double plus good?"
