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.
