dragonfly February 19, 2008 Share dragonfly Member February 19, 2008 I got my pastor a cheap dvd recorder that records with dvd-r to record the services at church... I was under the impression that both + and - were around still, and it just depended on what you wanted to have. Well he kept trying to get the +r to record in the -r recorder (I wasnt at church on sunday, so I couldnt tell him to not bother). Anyway, is -r being phased out or something? If not, i'll just get him some -r discs. If it is, i'll take the recorder back. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfly February 19, 2008 Author Share dragonfly Member February 19, 2008 I dont remember what model I got him, but when I'm at the church I'll take a look. He said it wasn't recognizing the +r disc at all as even being a disc... who knows, he's technologically impaired anyway! Thanks at least for pointing out that dvd-r isnt being phased out.

ZeroDamage February 19, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member February 19, 2008 I've noticed a lot of devices prefer the DVD+R format over the -R but that could be just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler February 19, 2008 Share boiler Member February 19, 2008 I've always had burners that did both, then bought whatever discs I happened to grab first. I have a stack of DVD-R's on my desk at work, and a stack of DVD+R's at home. Neither of them are going anywhere, and I have absolutely no clue what the difference is anyway.

dragonfly February 19, 2008 Author Share dragonfly Member February 19, 2008 Yeah, I too have a dvd burner that says it does both, and it only cost me $30, but this is a recorder and I think they're far more picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
