The duel of the dual-layer DVD formats


Recommended Posts

Dear Lord, will this ever stop? Didn't these gits learn anything from the -R and +R fiasco?

And speaking of which, one of my Christmas presents was a new Pioneer DVR-A06U drive. This thing will burn anything you throw at it. A true leader in the DVD format wars, since it now - finally - supports any/all current formats.

A yahoo article from Reuters news service.

Not the best article but towards the end:

quote:

While rented or purchased DVDs will play on any DVD player or recorder, a TV program or home movie recorded onto a DVD may only be compatible with certain formats. Consumer electronics makers, however, are beginning to offer devices that are compatible with several of the formats, Wood said.

...

Similarly, certain television programs cannot be copied, according to Wood.

"Just because you can see it on your TV doesn't mean you can record it on your DVD recorder," he added.

Wonder how they do that. But that's what I wanna do; record specials and stuff. Like the recent Battlestar Galactica special.
