DVD - RW + RW duel layer???

[DragonBlaze]

I built my computer on a very low budget, so I bought the cheepest DVD burner I could find, I think its a DVD -RW, or the '-' is just a dash mark.

Anyway, whats the differance between +RW, -RW, and duel layer. I think duel layer can hold more data, but the -R dvds would still work with a dvd player right? Or err...

Okay, all I know is that RW mean Read/Write.

I believe one records faster than the other.

I'm going to have to reccomend good ol' Google in this situation.

Yeah, problem with google is that it just brings up ads for dvds instead of info. Plus I'm downloading a 740 MB file which will finish in two days, so my internet is going extreamly slow, and searching in google is very hard.

If the + and - just have differant writting speeds, that shouldn't be a problem. I just didn't want to go out and buy a pack of blank dvds and then figure out they don't work on my dvd player. Meh, I have to wait a few days before I get enough money to buy blank dvds anyways :p

Duel layer. Now what the hell could that be?

[Trevlac]

But when you do get the money, I know some DVD's that are gonna be


PIRAT'D

Argh! Matey! And when wa fina ya, ya will walk off yer plank. AI!

Duel layer is the newest type of dvd, all I know is that it holds a lot more data.

I doubt I'll pirate many dvds, I'll need to rent a movie to do that anyway, I'm a very cheap person, so I won't bother spending the money.

I'll get a tv tuner for my computer, hook it up to the satalite, record a show or movie onto my hard drive, edit out the comercials, then burn it to a dvd.

That's awesome.

You do know that with the right tools you can download whole DVD's and burn them?

You can use Emule to download a shitload of DVD's.

[DragonBlaze]

Yeah I know places where I can download whole dvds, but they're around 2 gigs. I have dial up, you see the problem?

Right now I'm downloading a ps game (one that I own but is too scratched to work), but its gonna take me 3 days of streight downloading, its less than half the size of a movie. I just hope we don't have to pay per minute for dial up, or my parents will kill me when they get the bill...
