Besides DVD damage, esp. over time, my big fear is drive interchangeability. Will the DVD I burn on a given drive be readable on other hardware once the first drive has gone to Burner Heaven? The likelihood that it will be readable on another drive is in the same ballpark as the likelihood that a diskette written in one drive will be readable in another--usually it works, every once in a while you get a misaligned drive that produces disks only readable in that drive or reads only disks produced in that drive. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Will the DVD I burn on a given drive be readable on other hardware once the first drive has gone to Burner Heaven? Not hard to check that just after its been burnt. Not at all, in fact I personally run a disk scan in another drive directly after burning. I have had CD's that seemed to write perfectly and could be read from the same drive, but were totally un-readable in another drive. In fact, this has even happened to me on a temporary basis with two known drives. Regards, Pan |
