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.

(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 silimar.


(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.
