January 19, 2004DVD+R looks goodLearning that DVD+R (plus) is good, if not more preferred than DVD-R (minus). I was also concerned because I'd never heard of "Khypermedia." But one of the forums said "the Khypermedia 8x dvd burner is a rebadged CyberDrive DX082D..." Which, if true, has a decent review here. Also: "The CyberDrive ripped the DVD movie files to the hard disk at 7489 KB/s (5.4x) average. It is not the best time but is still good." "The drive has an 8MB buffer size. Nero Info Tool confirms that the CyberDrive supports reading of all the media formats except DVD-RAM. " Does not support DVD-RAM or Mt. Raineer though. No biggie there. Doesn't burn DVD "minus"/"dash" R and RW, but can read 'em. I'd wondered why DVD+R Drives were dropping in price lately. Then the OfficeMax tech guy told me Dual Layer DVD burners were due this summer. They hold 8.5GB, this one is a mere 4.7GB capacity. He said that currently, if you were to make, ahem, a backup of your "LOTR" DVD it would take 2 DVD+Rs for every one source DVD. The Dual Layer DVD+Rs will be a one-to-one process. All in all, for $70 I think I'll keep it. Posted by on January 19, 2004 @ January 19, 2004 10:53 PM 5 folks had something to say |
Actually,
I use DVD X Copy Platinum to "archive" my DVD's and you can actually fit one almost perfect duplicate of LOTR (any version) onto one DVD. I have the extended versions of both (Fellowship & Towers) DVDs and I have exact dupes of each DVD contained in the packs.
Actually, now that I think about it, I have never had to fit one movie onto 2 DVDs. But DVD XCopy cost me an arm and a leg... But it's sooo worth it in the end for archival purposes. :)

The dual layer specs are already supported by DVD-Video format. It doesn't matter if you by a burner now or later, all that is needed is a simple firmware update to burn a dual layer 8.5GB disc. Consumer electronics companies are trying to unveil these burners as a "new thing" because they know people will simply throw away their existing drives to buy new ones. Hence the term "consumer". I recently purchased an Optorite DVD burner - DD0201 that specifically states it supports dual layer burning. And considering it's available for as cheap as $100 - it's a no-brainer. I now, just like everyone else, need to wait for the blank media to be made available.
