| 102815 | 2002-12-02 23:14:00 | i know this has probably be talked about b4.. but just wondering as i have a dvd/cd-rw (dvd player and cd-rw combo drive) i am real tempted to use a 4.7gb dvd-r cd and write on it coz of its juicy size...but, can i actualy use a cd-rw to write? or does it gotta be a dvd rw drive? and that i got to apparently save up 4? chris |

AFAIK, combo drives are generally dvd read only, unless otherwise specified. Lo. |

| 102819 | 2002-12-03 00:17:00 | DVD-R is OK for some tasks, but I think generally the media (even the RW) are pretty overpriced, and the drives are still ridiculously expensive. Keep in mind also that if a DVD-R fails, you lose out quite a bit of $$. Much better sticking to CD I reckon, then waiting until DVD-R becomes a bit cheaper. | honeylaser (814) | ||

Sounds like what we were saying about CD-R about 6 years ago :) |

Mind you, DVD writers were around 3k 2 or so years ago. We were going to import some Panasonics, and minimum quantity was around 100. |
