| 378350 | 2005-08-04 20:52:00 | Your DVD is a dual layer writer. This means you can write DVD's like you have done with CD writers. The dual layer is a newer technology which allows you to record double the amount of data onto special dual layer DVD's. A standard DVD will hold 4.7 GB of data, a dual layer twice that. DVD devices will vary to which sort of DVD media standards it will support, and from the specifications your one will accept -R and +R type disks. Because you can fit a lot of data on a DVD, this makes it ideal for storing your large files on eg, digital photos, videos, music. If you have a video camera you can create your own home movies and record them to DVD's to play on the TV. You can also watch DVD's on your computer using the device. |

| 378352 | 2005-08-04 21:52:00 | What do you want to put on the discs, if you just want to store stuff I would forget about the RW discs and just go for write once as they are much cheaper. | Rob99 (151) | ||

| 378356 | 2005-08-05 00:14:00 | Personally, I would steer away from unknown brands. I would go for makes like SKC, TDK, Sony, Mitsubishi, Verbatim etc, to name but a few. Trevor :) |

| 378357 | 2005-08-05 00:58:00 | I use Laser blanks. Cheap, but never had a prob with burning with these. I wouldnt bother with DL disks at the mo. Just one is too expensive. Stick with normal blanks for now. Until the price comes down. |

| 378358 | 2005-08-05 20:37:00 | My Optorite drive absolutely (DD0201) loves the cheap CMC and Princo media, after I had a firmware upgrade. I HIGHLY recommend you upgrade your firmware also! My Princo drive never liked the Laser discs, dunno why it just didnt... My TS-H552 will burn to Laser alright though. Cheers Chill. |
