Disadvantages of DVD-R:

(1) DVD-R drives are at least 3-4x more expensive than CD-R drives.

A DVD-RW drive can be brought for less than £100 now which is only £50
more than the highest spec CD-RW drive.

Debating trade crap logic. So, the cheapest DVD recorder only costs a bit
more than the most expensive CD recorder. Do you realize how erroneous this
logic is or are you really that bloody stupid?

(2) Recording software to actually exploit the hardware capabilities
of the DVD can be relatively expensive. We're talking $100's versus
free.

Only about £30 for ulead dvd moviefactory or something similar.

Tell me about how you can a 6-channel 24/96 audio recording or a 2-channel
24/192 recording with Ulead DVD Movie Factory.

It can't.

That's because this cheap software doesn't fully exploit the potential of
the DVD format, particularly for audio. It's for putting pictures and movies
on DVDs, not high quality sound!

Could you learn to read the specs before you waste my time with crap like
this?


(3) DVD-Rs are relatively slow recorders of CD-Rs.

DVD-R writes at 1/2/4x which equates to 9/18/36x cd speeds. The only
reason DVD-Rs take long to record is because they are 7 times bigger
than a cd.

Last time I looked a cheap CD recorder can write at 52x. 52x 36x. end of
story.

Look I have before me two PC's on a 2-channel KVM switch. If I take my hands
off the keyboard I put one hand on top of each one. One has a Pioneer DVR
104 DVD recorder and one has a Liteon 52x CD-R burner. They both have EZ CD
5 as well as other popular burning software on them.

Do you have any questions?
