Another Format War: DVD -R9 v. +R9

Posted by timothy on from the tie-yourself-to-the-mast dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Just when we thought the dust settled on the last format war between CD-R's we see a new one brewing with DVD recordable discs. DVD -R9/+R9 will apparently be the next technological slugfest where there are no rewards for second place. With all of these new recording format options made available to the public, how can any consumer intelligently know which one to buy into?"

    kiss and make up their minds

    You are merging two separate phrases here: "kiss and make up" and "make up their minds". Pick one, or use "kiss and make up and make up their minds". Just "make up their minds" (without the "kiss and") seems more appropriate to me.
