286011 2004-10-29 08:54:00 I understand that there 2 types of DVD wrtier: + & -

What are they, actually?

286012 2004-10-29 09:00:00 They're different standards/formats/methods of writing to the disk - devised by different companies like Sony/Pioneer/Philips etc.

There is also another type: RAM - made by Panasonic, and not so compatible as the other two, however I believe its great for rewriting on the same disk over and over.

If it's blue laser drives you're referring to Sony is releasing a 23.3GB drive next month
A cool US$3300.00 for the drive & media will be approx US$50.00 each

Price fall for drive and media, considering supply issues with dual layer now, is the time estimate for real relevence to far out?
