Yes, RW since I will be reusing them.

Thanks in advance.

Is it me or are DVD+/-RW discs rare? I can't seem to find any.

2006.

It's you, they are pretty common.

Now, why people still use them, knowing the problems they cause, and the
fact that they cost about 5 times more than normal DVD's ... that's the
real mystery for me ?????

What problems do they cause? The only issue I read was older drives
might not be able to read them.

Looks like he has missed the DL requirement too.

None with a decent burner.

The only issue I read was older drives might not be able to read them.

The other issue is that price question.

Just you. Not as common as DVD+/-R but nothing even remotely resembling anything like rare.

But maybe you left out the dual layer in the body of this post.

DL DVD+/-RWs arent very common at all.

Sorry, I meant dual layer/DL RWs not the cheaper smaller capability ones.

Yeah, that is why I am planning to get only one or two if they exist.

well I just did some hunting and they do seem to be impossible to
find. even though the JVC brand seem to have been developed and
created I found none. Are you sure your machine would actually be
capable of recording on them? Someone suggested that the panasonic
recorders which have DL capability will write to them but that's all
I've seen.

Oh well, those are definitely in the rare to never seen one category, it
most be the price question.

The problems with RW (SL) are mostly in the compatibility path, while
they work in computer readers, most give errors when used in a normal
consumer DVD.
I had use 3 different brands, none has played OK neither on my players
(Phillips) or my cousin one (Samsung), so for me they are very expensive
coasters.

Hmm, you're right and I didn't even notice. I thought all today's DVD
burner drives had that support by now!

http://www.sonynec-optiarc.com/produ...rw/ad7220.html I only
see DVD+/-R DL. Nero's InfoTool 5 doesn't show it either:

+R DL).

What SATA DVD burner drives come with them these days?
